The Wednesday Question (Special Edition)

It's back! The Wednesday Question is my longest-running series on this blog, and it went away for the holidays but now that the holiday chaos is behind us, it's time to get back to basics. And today I have a special question for you:


The five year anniversary of this blog is rapidly approaching, and so I have to ask:

How long have you been reading Nouveau Cheap? Are you a regular commenter or more of a lurker? 

I would so appreciate your response, whether you're a longtime reader or new to this blog. Please take a moment to comment below (and that includes you, lovely lurkers! Come out and play with us today--I'd love to hear from you!).

  1. Been reading since October or November last year. I've commented 4 or 5 times. I guess that makes me a lurker.

  2. i have been reading your blog for couple of months now and i usually don't comment on them

    ReplyDelete
  3. I've been a moderate lurker for about a year and a half and since I found you on FB, I'm a full-time lurker. I've just started submitting sightings, as well. I love what you do! Thanks for all your hard work, G!

    ReplyDelete
  4. 2-3 years I've been a reader but I've been commenting a lot more lately.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I've been reading this blog for the past 2 years and this is only my second comment. Definitely a lurker.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I just found you sometime last year (pretty sure thanks to one of the YouTube beauty gurus, whom I also discovered last year, not sure what rock I'd been hiding under... lol) and would definitely say I've been a lurker. I get your twitter notifications on my phone and am pretty sure you and YouTube are responsible for most of my beauty purchases since last spring. It's okay, I'm really good with that! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I started reading probably sometime in Spring or Summer of 2012. I had recently discovered the YouTube beauty community, and one of my favorite YouTubers, Leighannsays, had mentioned how much she loved your blog. Been hooked ever since! :)

    ReplyDelete
  8. I have been following for at least a year, I forget exactly how I found you but I think it was when a youtuber was talking about a CVS beauty clearance and linked your blog. I lurked for a long while but I do comment every now and then. :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'm more of a lurker, but if something really catches my attention I'll come out and comment! I've been reading for...about two years? More consistently for the last one.

    ReplyDelete
  10. G. You know I have reading your blog every day since 2009! Hahaha I love your blog and it comes in my email every morning. And no lurker am I!! PS I am going to be in SD on Tuesday for a whole 2 hours and I wish it were longer so I could meet you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I've been reading since late 2010/early 2011. I comment every so often, but not regularly. You're my go-to site for drugstore info and deals, and I love your Sighting Maps! Congrats on almost 5 years! :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Been reading since...oh, at least 2011, or midway through that year. Or possibly earlier. I'm more of a lurker than a commenter.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I started as a reader back in April of last year. I had just got back into nail polish and was thrilled to death I could enter in a nail polish into Google so I came across your site several times from simple product searches. Later in summer I started seeing more of it and decided to actually bookmark you. After I downloaded the app for Feedly on my iPhone I became a superfan, reading ever post and started commenting lately as well as following you on Facebook. I commented under the name "Miss Kitty Nails" at first and when I updated my Google Account it switched me to my name. Oh well.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I've been reading your blog since 2010, and I went back to the beginning and read every post! I prefer the term "reader" to "lurker" although I do comment now and then.

    Happy Anniversary, G!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ive been reading daily for a couple of years and im addicted! I only comment sometimes, so i will consider myself a commenting lurker lol

    ReplyDelete
  16. Prob 5 years (Has your blog been around that long, I think so, right?)-Obviously a lurker!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I would say it's been about 2-2.5 years since I've been a regular reader. G you easily provide some of the most helpful, thorough, and enjoyable beauty blog content I've come across. Well done on 5 years!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I've been reading every day for about 3 years. I comment every so often and I contributed two sightings to the blog. Nouveau Cheap is one of my favorites and I'm proud to be a Nouvette!

    ReplyDelete
  19. About two years now, but I think I've only commented twice or so, haha I'm a lurker for sure. I love the blog :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. Been a fan for about six months and post on occasion

    ReplyDelete
  21. I've been reading now for about 10 months. I was a lurker for most of that time, but more recently am becoming more of a commenter!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I've been reading for a year or two, off and on. Really more of a lurker, only read article posts that interest me because of the specific type of product being discussed.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi, G - I have been reading your blog for about a year now...This is my first comment..I'm definitely a lurker...but I LOVE your blog and check it at least 3 times a day for updates. I so appreciate the wealth of info you give and all the heads up on new products and SALES! Thank you from one of the "quiet" faithful.

  24. I've been reading your blog for a little over a year. I don't typically comment but enjoy your posts! Thanks for all that you do to keep us in the know.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I've only recently started getting into makeup being a teen , and when I was searching the internet to learn more about it I stumbled across your blog about 5 months ago now I check it atleast twice a day and I'm addicted! U really provide a lot I helpful reviews and tips

    ReplyDelete
  26. I've been reading for about a year now. I had looked up a review of .... something, haha, and I found your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I've been reading your blog since late 2010 I believe, after finding it referenced on a now-defunct YouTube channel. I remember being on a mission to find the Biore Marshmallow Whip Facial Cleanser, which I finally did find! I'd say I'm a moderate commenter, meaning I comment on every 4-5 posts or so. I've even contributed a couple times, which is really fun! Thank you for this blog, G. I hope it's around forever :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi - I am new to your blog and have been really enjoying it. I discovered it after finding your blog/review showing in the google results for a bunch of products that I was researching. I'm a frequent lurker as this is my first comment. Sometimes I will drop in several times a day to check for new posts.. My favorite are your reviews.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I've been reading for almost a year! I rarely comment here, but always like your instagram posts, sometimes comment there, and always tag you in the deals I find because of you on Instagram!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Over two years... I get your feed in my facebook so I'm here multiple times a day.

    ReplyDelete
  31. LURKER! 1ST comment / 2 year obsessive fan!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I am not sure how long I have been reading...two or three years, I believe. I comment on here and via Twitter. I hope I can read your blog for years to come!

    ReplyDelete
  33. ~ Literally just found you in the past few minutes. I Googled info for, Suave Shampoo, and I pulled up your review. Thanks. I liked you on FB and going to CVS to purchase now... on sale. My hair has everything wrong with it but I also know I've been bottomed out on my vitamin D for quite awhile and my doc said my body isn't retaining it. (PS. I live in FL.) So, I figured that could be why my hair, teeth etc., have been having problems. -- also extreme stress. Can't wait for more info on your blog. thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I don't recall how long I've been reading this blog or even how I discovered it. It has been at least 2 years. I would have to say I'm more of a lurker, although I do comment from time to time.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I can't actually remember how long, exactly, but I think I started reading maybe early in 2013? Mostly a lurker, but maaaan, have your posts been BAD for my wallet...lol!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I have been reading for about 9 months. I found you through the Lipstick League, and you are the only blog I've stuck with! You cover many of the drugstore brands I love such as Sinful Colors and Wet n' Wild. I love your posts and stalk you on Facebook. Thank you for this work you do!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Lurker here... mostly out of laziness. Love this blog! Been reading for about a year now.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I've been reading for about six months. I'm a lurker ;)
    I love the weekly drugstore deals. That must take so much work to put together. Kudos to you! Xoxo

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  47. I've been reading for a couple years and I'm mostly a lurker, though I do comment occasionally. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think I've been reading for about a year, I'm terrible with time so that's my best guess. I comment if it's something I'm super interested in or if I have something important to add.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I've been reading about a year, I think. I comment now and then.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I've been reading this blog consistently since 2010 and I am such a lurker. I probably only comment maybe once a year. You deserve better, lol

    ReplyDelete
  51. I've been a reader for a little over a year... I am always commenting :-)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Loyal reader for 3 yrs, but have only commented about 4-5x. LOVE. YOUR. BLOG.!

    ReplyDelete
  53. hi! i have been reading your blog since late last year. Although I am more of a lurker. I love your blog though

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hi there,
    I've been reading your blog for about a year and although I rarely comment I love all the information your blog provides. I've turned a few of my friends at work on to your site as well. I have relatives in La Mesa and when I visit them we often go to the Big Lots in Lemon Grove; and when there I have thought to myself I wonder if G is here! Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make your blog so special.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Been an almost daily reader of your blog for over two years. I comment sometimes and have sent photos once or twice. Love your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  56. 2 years and I've commented like twice. So definitely a lurker!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I've been reading your amazing blog for about 2 years...but I don't think I've commented yet! Love what you do!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I found this site while looking for reviews on a Wet N Wild pallette a few years back. Been checking in most days, but this is my first time commenting. I love this site and all the hard work you do for us! I've lost heart on a lot of blogs and YouTube reviews, it seems like a lot of them seem like advertisements. Thanks for staying honest and keeping it real for us, G!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I would say I read your blog on and off for the past few years or so, but for the past few months I check it out almost every day! Your information on new product lines is so helpful! I think you should keep posting more interactive sightings on here because that is what I love the most. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Around 4 years now I believe. I comment here and there. I probably visit you and temptalia several times per day to keep up with new releases and swatches.

    ReplyDelete
  61. At least a year, definitely a lurker.

    ReplyDelete
  62. G. I think you know I have been reading daily since 2009!!! Almost from the beginning I think. I definitely am not a lurking as I comment alot. I figure as long as you are taking the time to do all you do that the least I can do is let you know how much I appreciate it. I get an email every morning and wait til a nice quiet time to enjoy reading. Sometimes I am compelled to peek earlier via FB and IG. PS I am going to be in SD on Tuesday for a couple hours layover and wish it were more so I can meet you!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I have no idea. Maybe since 2011 or 2012? I comment sometimes but in general I don't always comment on the blogs I read.

    ReplyDelete
  64. G, I've been reading your blog for well over a year and I'm a commenter....in fact, I'm usually on your Comment Love board along with Robin. I literally check your blog several times a day (and by several, I mean 10, 12, 15 times). What can I say? I'm obsessed with makeup!!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm a total lurker. Been reading for years but this is my first comment.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I was a lurker for about... um, maybe two days before I first commented? =) I haven't been reading this blog for too long- just stumbled upon it maybe last July- but I am HOOKED and this is the only blog I read (translation: the only blog I obsess over *cough*) on a daily basis. Love you, G!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hello. I was a Lurker for a few months until a month ago. I made up this handle just for here, so I could comment... I like your blog that much.

    My comments might be few but I read this blog daily. Thanks to you and all your contiburors!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I have been reading your blog since 2010 I think, I didn't start commenting on post up until last year I believe, maybe even 2012. Your blog by far is one of the best, your detail to information, whether it be sightings or new products coming out are amazing. And don't even get me started on the reviews, you actually take your time to review n give us your honest opinion. It also helps that you are oily girl, like myself. haha You are too amazing girl, n Thank You for everything you do. Keep up the AMAZING work! :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. I've been reading for a little under a year, IIRC. I RSS feed the blog into my reader :). I'm mostly a lurker, I comment once in awhile when I have something to say. I do read the posts regularly, though!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Okay, I had to go through old sinful colors posts and figure out the first collection I stalked... which was Adventure Island- so my best guess is June 2011. Makes sense because that's when I first started to really get into nail polish, with my discovery of zoya, and ulta, which lead to the Pirates of the caribbean OPI collection. Mostly I comment on your fb page and instagram pics!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Ummm... Spring 2011 I think. Found your site looking for some polish swatches ;)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I do leave the occasional comment, but mostly I've just been lurking here for the past three years. hehehe :D

    ReplyDelete
  73. I have been following your blog for a few months now (maybe five or six). As soon as I read the first few posts on the front page, I was hooked!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I've been reading this blog for a year or so, and I believe this is my first time commenting! I absolutely love this blog though and visit regularly. :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. Started reading May 2013 (I remember it well. CVS beauty clearance :)). I comment rarely, but I read about 97% of the posts :). I looove your weekly beauty sales roundups, and new items, and reviews, and swatches.. and .. :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. I've been checking in daily for about 2 years but I've only commented a few times.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I've been reading since 2010.I sometimes comment, but always read. Your blog is the best for the most current beauty and nail polish deals and sales.I love your blog, G.♡

    ReplyDelete
  78. I've never commented before, but your encouragement brought me out of the dark! I'm from San Diego, too, and you've definitely encouraged many of my purchases-- regularly for over a year, I'd say. I love your entertaining writing style!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I've been a lurker for about two years, but every now and then I'll comment:D

    ReplyDelete
  80. A few years for me! I've learned so much from you and from everyone's helpful comments. I guess I'd qualify as a regular commenter...? Although I tend to go in spurts. 😊

    ReplyDelete
  81. I have been reading for no less than 2 years and always lurking but never leaving a comment until today. I will continue to read and maybe even leave a comment here and here. HUGS Kim

    ReplyDelete
  82. Lurker here. I've been following since the Revlon balm stains came out. I could comment more but commenting is really wonky with blogspot when you're using mobile so it's not always worth the hassle.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I've been reading about a year, I think. I'm mostly a lurker, but I comment occasionally. This blog kind of revolutionized my approach to makeup. I didn't even really know about beauty bloggers or makeup reviews, so I never bought drugstore makeup because it was such a sketchy proposition without being able to test the quality before purchasing. I'm glad I found you, G.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I've been following since this past summer. I mostly lurk and occasionally comment. I've definitely made some purchases that I blame you for...lol

    ReplyDelete
  85. I am definitely a lurker! About 3 years now.

    BUT! I'd like to say thanks for all your posts! You keep me updated on the drugstore world of beauty, so its all in one place.

    Because of your posts, I have the gotten some nifty deals I would have missed out on (say Deborah Lippmann polish!), and become aware of products I would have never noticed (say Maybeline Buff lipstick -got all of them before they were picked over!)

    I love the reviews and comparisons and $5 Fridays, and the maps of where to find it. (I tried to post on Fresno/Clovis, CA, but couldn''t make it work.)

    Thanks again!

    ReplyDelete
  86. About a month.. total lurker. Love your blog though. It is officially 1 of the 10 pins to my favorites bar, which I also make sure I check a few times a week.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I pretty much of a lurker but I'm trying to comment more *^__^* I've pretty been reading your blog for about 2 years now.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I found the your blog on Spring 2012, usually a lurker I read/check your blog multiple times per week. Since I follow you in FB, I probably be more encouraged to share info or opinions in that platform. I love your in depth critique and will like to congratulate you in finding a job that is more a reflection of what you are as a person.

    ReplyDelete
  89. *delurk* I'm mainly a lurker though I think I may have commented a time or two. I just love your blog! It's especially amazing to help keep up with what new collections are coming out *relurk* :D

    ReplyDelete
  90. like 2 years & i comment every once in a while but read most posts. I just don't have much to say sometimes since some stuff isn't really relevant to Puerto Rico

    ReplyDelete
  91. I am a big fan of yours but not regular commenting

    ReplyDelete
  92. Been a fan for a year and this is second time commenting so I guess I'm a lurker. I love your blog , thanks for the hard work

    ReplyDelete
  93. Lurker for about 2 years? Maybe not that long. Pretty sure I heard about you from makeupalley but it could've also been sayanythingbr00ke from YouTube.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I've been reading regularly through bloglovin for about 6 months, before that I only read if you came up in a search I was doing. This is also my first comment, so I'm definitely a lurker. Glad I'm not the only one. You are a great resource, thanks for what you do.

    ReplyDelete
  95. New regular reader (since December '13) and this is my first comment! I'll probably just continue to be a lurker as that's just how I roll with all blogs I follow...

    ReplyDelete
  96. Just started reading this month!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I've been reading your blog for almost 3 years! I don't comment much so I'm definitely a lurker! =]

    ReplyDelete
  98. One year. I mostly lurk but do comment here and there. I also comment on and nearly always double tap your IG posts.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I'm not sure how I came across your blog, but I think I was Googling away, hoping someone had good swatches of some product I was curious about and liked your concept, content and the way you wrote, so I keep coming back. I think I've been reading your blog for about a year-and-a-half, commenting fairly regularly.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I started reading summer of 2013. I've commented maybe 20 times. This blog is my homepage on my phone, tablet, and laptop... I love the nail polish posts a lot, now I don't miss new collections anymore! Plus I've read about other new beauty products to try, and I now shop at Big Lots. Thank you for this blog, I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  101. I've been a regular reader since 2012. I comment sometimes. :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. Woohoo! Congrats on the 5 year anniversary G! I lurk on the blog and your instagram (thanks for the Asian food addiction, I always crave it after your instagram posts :) I sometimes comment as well.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I probably have been reading at least 3 years. I'm a random commenter <3 and I have two accounts I comment under. I've sent you pics before too

    ReplyDelete
  104. Found you about a year ago I would say and occasionally comment

    ReplyDelete
  105. I am a regular reader of your blog and have been so for around 8 months or more. I read every blog post, and look forward to every single one. I dont typically comment but I'm reading them! Yours is my favorite blog out there!

    ReplyDelete
  106. I think I've read for about 2 or 3 years now and I've commented... once? I guess that would make me a lurker whoops :x

    ReplyDelete
  107. Been reading for about 3 years now...I've commented from time to time. Love this blog!

    ReplyDelete
  108. I've been reading your blog regularly for about 9 months and i don't always comment but I check your blog about 3 times a day!

    ReplyDelete
  109. I've been reading for about 2-3 years now (has it really been that long?) and I've commented.. once? I guess that would make me a lurker :x

  111. Not sure how long I have been reading your blog, but I comment often. I really enjoy your blog and it helps me keep up with the new drugstore makeup finds and up and coming drugstore products as well. Thank you for all your hard work G!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  113. New, less than 2 months. I don't think I have commented. I will come read posts when I see them in your IG feed.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I guess I'm a lurker. I have commented though from time to time. I read the blog daily, follow on Twitter and instagram, and it's truly one of my favorites!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Im definitely a lurker.. I've commented only a few times.. I found you probably septemberish of last year maybe a little earlier.. a friend on YouTube mentioned you and I had to follow you :-) thanks for everything, what you do really is a lot of work (I don't even know how you do it) and u are totally awesome don't ever stop xox

    ReplyDelete
  118. I started in November last year, when I got serious about makeup!

    ReplyDelete
  119. I've been regularly checking your blog and been a Facebook fan since 2010 (summer-ish). I rarely comment, as I don't buy cosmetics as much as I'd like to or visit the drugstores...

    ReplyDelete
  120. I've been reading since last summer, I don't really comment, just read!

    ReplyDelete
  121. I've been reading since last summer, but I don't really comment much:)

    ReplyDelete
  122. I am more of a lurker. I prefer to just lurk around all your reviews! I found out about this account about one year ago, when I was searching for nail polish storage ideas and found your article.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I've been following for over 2 years. I tend to only comment on your ig posts.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Lurker here- I've been following your blog for coming up on two years, but this last 6 months I have your blog as one of my bookmarks at the top of google chrome- easy access! I check you multiple times a day- you're fabulous! Keep up the good work!

    ReplyDelete
  125. I've been following your blog for over 2 years....I truly appreciate your reviews/opinions/recommendations, etc, etc.....what would I do without you?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  126. I've been reading a bit over two years, but I did go back and read every post. The only topic I skim is where nail polish is concerned (I have hands unworthy of painting) but I do read everything and am a tremendous fan.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I've been a reader for about 2-3 years now. Love your blog! Guess I'm a lurker since I've only commented a few times during those years. I'm going to try to comment much more :)

    ReplyDelete
  128. I think I've been reading for about 6 months. Definitely more of a lurker but I do comment once in a while!

    ReplyDelete
  129. I've been on the ride for 2-3 yrs. not much of a commenter here. i comment more in fb or ig. feel more interaction that way i guess. your great at what you do.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I don't ever comment, but I have checked your blog daily for years now.

    ReplyDelete
  131. I have been reading since sometime in 2012, probably sometime around March or April. I have commented a few times, but am probably a lurker overall. I have submitted a couple of sightings this past year.

    ReplyDelete

  133. I have been following you for a couple of years now! I don't comment very often... Just every once in awhile, when I feel like I have something to add :)

  134. I just recently discovered this blog within the past month from bloglovin! And I really enjoy it!

    ReplyDelete
  135. I've been reading your blog for about 9 months now. I've commented a couple of times but I'm more of a lurker, lol! :)

  136. I found Nouveau Cheap back in Autumn of 09 while searching Milani swatches. It was the collection that featured cremes and glitter counterparts. Don't remember the name but I have the green and purple creme, as well as the purple glitter called Shimmering Purple (my 1st bar glitter!) I comment when I want to share my thoughts or ideas, like most people hopefully. I dislike the label "lurker"...maybe you enjoy reading but don't have anything to add or say, soooo?...as if that makes one creepy or something, lol!?!?

  138. About two years now and loving every moment of it. Everyone asks me how I know so much and I just direct them to your site, I mention it in youtube videos the whole nine yards. Couldn't live with out it!

  139. I have been reading since maybe 6 months after you started. I ised to comment much more frequently but now that I have a very active 2.5 year old and am trying to get my business started, I don't comment nearly as frequently. Rest assured though that I don't miss a single post here, or on fb, or on IG, LOL. <3 you G!

  140. I've been following your blog for about 1 1/2 years now ever since I discovered it when I was going through my self-dubbed "makeup renaissance". Although the renaissance is ebbing (meaning that I'm not buying every single thing I want anymore), I still read your blog for ideas, information, and reviews. It is obvious that you spend quite a bit of time making this a stellar blog, and something else I appreciate is how well its written. You also do a fabulous job engaging your readers via other platforms such as Instagram.

    Hmmmm . . . I guess I go in cycles of lurking and commenting. I also like to read what your followers say, so I enjoy reading over their comments as well.

    Oh, and I was thrilled beyond measure recently when you posted my Fergie Mattifying Powder pics *and* my brief experience of using it the first time. :D

  141. I think just under three years. I mostly lurk but I love your posts!

  142. Love ur blog! I have ur icon on my phone. I have been reading for probably 3-4 yrs. I used to comment a lot in the beginning, but when Google took over the world lol, I became lazy with commenting because I had to always log in.

    ReplyDelete
  143. It's nearing the year mark for me. I'm mostly a lurker but I've commented a few times. Your blog is responsible for quite a few beauty purchases!

    ReplyDelete
  144. Have been reading for about 3 years and have commented a handful of times.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I've been reading since October or November of 2013. I'm more of a lurker as this is only my second time ever commenting. I really like that you focus more on drugstore products. I've found out about the brand Lumene because of you (love it!) and I'm always interested in learning more about cruelty free brands. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this blog. I really appreciate it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  146. I've been reading for over two years!! I started as a complete lurker but recently have submitted some sightings and pictures and comments :)

    ReplyDelete
  147. Hello! I've been reading for about 3 years, but have never commented, so I guess I'm a lurker.

    ReplyDelete
  148. I found your blog less than a year ago, and have been lurking ever since.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I have been a daily reader for about 2 years now. You are my go to for all drugstore products. I seldom comment so I guess that makes me a lurker! The Vintage Vault posts are one of my all time favorite blog series!

    ReplyDelete
  150. I would have to say that I've been reading you blog for about 3 years now! I love how excited everyone gets when wnw drops new LE items! I comment sometimes, when I have sth to contribute :-)
    Thanks to your blog, G , I've been able to save $$$ by buying drugstore beauty products that are just as good if not better than high end. Perfect example: fergie eyeshadow primer..$5 vs what I used to use, urban decay primer potion $20 !! I swear they are equally as good!
    Keep up the great work! It's much appreciated!

    ReplyDelete
  151. found you awhile ago, just started reading every day no comments yet

    ReplyDelete
  152. Hmm, probably for the past year and a half. I can't remember how I found it...but when I did I bookmarked this gem and have been coming back every day since! I'm a bit of a lurker, as I just mainly read the posts. But I've commented several times before :-)

    ReplyDelete
  153. I've been reading the blog for two years. I'm definitely a lurker although I have commented a few times. If it weren't for this blog, I wouldn't know half of what's going on in the world of drugstore makeup. For that, thank you, thank you, thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I've been reading your blog for probably a year or so. I have never commented so I am definitely a lurker, but I am always using your advice on deals and reviews.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I have been a reader for about a year now -- since I first started really getting into makeup. I found your site through Bailey Brown of Making Up the Midwest. She had a blog posting about ways she saves money on makeup and she listed your website as a go-to for finding great makeup deals. I've been in love ever since. Not only do you give us the scoop on awesome deals, but your reviews are always honest, in depth and reliable. It really helps when navigating through all the products out there. I'd consider myself more of a lurker, although I did accidentally send you an email once that I had actually meant to send to myself. Lol. By the way, I did end up picking up the NYX Matte Lipstick in Whipped Caviar, and I LOVE it. It is one of my all-time faves. So thanks for that! Congrats on the anniversary!

    ReplyDelete
  156. I have been reading your blog for about 6-7 months. I can't remember how I stumbled upon you but I am glad I did! I read but don't comment mostly because of time. I also love that you reminded me of Yves Roche! Totally forgot about them!

    ReplyDelete
  157. I've been reading this blog for a couple of years, but only comment now and then. I've come to rely on all the great info. Thanks G.

    ReplyDelete
  158. I have been following your blog for about a year.
    Thank you for all the helpful info and time you put into your blog.
    Before I buy a product, I research it on your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  159. oh, goodness! :) i think it's been at least 3 to 4 years.. i believe i first heard of your blog from watching "michele1218" on youtube! this blog has been a daily read since then! i always look out for weekly drugstore sales and reviews! thank you tremendously for all you do, G!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  160. I just found your blog last year...it was a client of mine shared some exciting Big Lots finds and shared your blog with me...I was a little overjoyed to find more crazy cosmeetic junkies out there too...especially when there's a deal too good to pass! I dont usually leave a comment unless the posting is something I feel strongly about. Funny too cause when I first started reading your blog I was living in san diego...anyway, love the blog and thank you for all of your time and energy!

    ReplyDelete
  161. I have been reading your blog for almost a year now, and while I think I have commented a few times, I am mostly a "lurker" haha

    ReplyDelete
  162. I was reading an article on line ( can't remember which one) and they mention your blog. It may have been early 2013. I look for deal announcements on your blog for CVS and such-then I look to see if I have any coupons-then I get my deals. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  163. I've been reading for a long time and I do comment here and there. I like so many of your others readers try to contribute when I find new things. =)

    ReplyDelete
  164. I've been reading since the fall of 2009. I've only posted a few times but check your blog at least 4 times a week. I can't remember how I found out about you now, but I do remember your old "What's in my Purse?" stuff from back in the day. :)

    ReplyDelete
  165. I've been reading since 2011. I tend to be more of a lurker :/ but have commented on a handful of your posts.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  169. I've been reading for at least a year or more. I don't comment more, because when I try to comment through either Chrome or Safari, it never works :( I don't use Internet Explorer at home.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I've been lurking since like October last year.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  181. I've been reading for about a year and half. I lurk mostly with an occasional post.

    ReplyDelete
  182. I have been reading this blog for probably a little over a year not sure if I have ever commented mostly read it on my phone or ipad so that is more of a hassle. The content is great and I have really "saved" on products with the drugstore coupons. Saved is in quotes because if I didn't read this blog I probably wouldn't buy so much makeup/skincare.

    ReplyDelete
  183. I think I may have been reading for...two years? It's certainly been a while. I used to comment more often but I just hate the trouble of logging in each time to do it--it gets to bea hassle after a while--especially if you read many blogs. I now only comment when I think I can really add to the post now.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I've probably been reading for a couple of years and I'm a total lurker /o\

  185. I've been reading for a couple months now. I have made a few comments, but I don't usually.

    ReplyDelete
  186. I have read your blog for years. Told and recommended it to several people as well. Can't remember how I found your blog but sure am glad that I did. As for posting...I am not a frequent poster/commenter. Just when I have something to add (like see a sale, what I found/bought at a sale, maybe answer a question, etc.)

    ReplyDelete
  187. I've been reading NouveauCheap for about a year, maybe a little longer, and I absolutely love it. Its probably the only blog that I read on a regular basis. I might seem a little whiny in some of my comments but I really do appreciate all the work you put onto this and feel that it's definitely helped me save both time and money.

    after someone on makeupalley mentioned it had swatches for something I wanted to buy.

    ReplyDelete
  188. I have been reading your blog for a few years now and I definitely consider it thr best one. I check it daily, sign up for comment notifications to see what other readers say, comment and contribute! Lately I've been so busy yours is the only one I read and even if I skip a day or 2 I always catch up.
