What are your favorites?!?!?

Hello all! 
We all know transition is an expensive process, especially when going from being completely male in everything you do and wear to becoming the woman you know you are and want to be.  The economy the past few years doesn't help the situation any either.  So with that, I'm really curious to what everyones favorite brands and stores are to purchase beauty items.  Things such as body lotion, facial cleansers, all the different make up items, body wash/shampoo & conditioner, etc.  Stores such as CVS, Walmart, Target, places at the mall, etc.  If your like me, you probably can't afford the top of the line items all the time or even some of the time lol, so like I said, curious to where everyone shops for things and what your fav brands are even if your not on a tight budget...

WalGreens and Ross are pretty good for finding bargain prices for everyday makeup items such as mascara, eyeshadow, etc...

I like Bare Essecntuals and MAC for everyday foundation and blush, though.
