Favorite line of makeup or makeup product

[luv2sparkle]

I''m a Bare Escentual/Bare Minerals girl. I use everything in their line and pretty much nothing else. I think I have collected every color in eyeshadow and
liner that they have every made. You can keep it forever because it doesnt spoil. I have a double sided case for matchbox cars or thread, that is full on
both sides and I change colors and looks often. It''s so fun!

I am liking Loreal double extend mascara. YSL touce eclat.

I have long been a Stila fan (I actually once won a Sephora contest as the Stila Girl!), but lately have been wearing a lot of Benefit. My favorite thing they have is their creamy eyeshadows. They go on like a dream and look great on the skin - my perfect 5 minute face. Birthday Suit is just lovely. I do recommend using it with their f.y.eye primer, though, since it makes it wear a lot longer. Hello Flawless! is a great powder and I love Coralista blush.

I also can''t live without Diorshow mascara. No matter how many mascaras I try, I always come back!

As for face stuff, I love Borghese Crema Saponetta (the world''s best skin cleanser) and use a now-discontinued Bath and Body Works milk thistle moisturizer. I have a huge amount of the product stocked up and am just hoping it doesn''t go bad!

Lancome foundation.
L''Oreal mascara.
Ulta brow pencil and wax.
Misc. eyeshadows and lippies... no real brand loyalty, and I have cheap-cheapie stuff in my bag and more expensive stuff, too.
I like Paula''s Choice cosmetics, but I think she is phasing that out to concentrate mostly on skin care products.

BareMinerals foundation is the only one that does not break out my sensitive skin.

I also cannot live without Dr. Christine Schrammek''s Blemish Balm. This product is fantastic for soothing skin issues and is tinted (comes in 4 colors). It is not a makeup, but works very well as a primer. I have worn it under my BareMinerals with great success. It is also great for soothing itchy skin on the body.

Lately, I have fallen in love with Philosophy''s Purity face wash. My face has never felt so clean!

Also from Philosophy, I have been really liking their "Hope in a Tube" for under eye puffiness.

As far as eyeshadow, I am all over the place from BareMinerals to Smashbox.

For mascara, I have been using Dior Show in purple. I like it, but the wand is a bit too large for my lashes.

I am not really a lipstick girl, but I like Sephora''s glosses. Additionally, I really like my Rosebud Salve.

For moisturizer, I am still looking for a good one, but I tried a sample of Bosica, which was very nice.

For peels, I really love Amore Pacific''s Enzyme peel!!!

For scubs, I love Nami exfoliating gel - it has lactic acid, so my skin feels very smooth after using. I also use on my knees and elbows.

 

[arjunajane]

whilst we''re on the topic, has anybody tried that new Garnier caffeine eye roll on?
for under eye dark circles?

I''ve been thinking about giving it a go, but would love to know if anyone has had any experience with it yet?

Omeiluv,
I use philosophy purity face wash as well, and I have to say, it looks weird and has a strange consistency, but if you do scrub it in really well, it does a good job. I'm not enamored with the new foaming version of Purity. Philosophy claims they are identical except one is a foaming version, but it doesn't seem to get my skin as clean as the original formula. I also love Philosophy's "The Present." I have very fair skin, and I like how it gives my face a "soft focus." It's a primer for makeup. I also use Clinique's acne control tint on my chin. That's the one place on my face I tend to get a break out here and there, and it keeps those in check.

Hey Arjunajane, I have the garnier caffeine eye roll. It does work but I have to use a moisturizer with it. It is kind of a clear gel and a bit drying for me.

Thankyou luv2 - I''m glad to hear it works.
Does it tingle/feel weird at all?
I admittedly was just a lil concerned about putting caffeine near my eyes, lol..

Another Bare Escentuals fan here! The only non-BE items in my makeup stash are mascara and lipstick/lipgloss

For anyone who swears by Clinique''s Repairwear line, Clinique will be phasing out "Repairwear" over the next year and a half and they''ll be replacing it with the newly introduced "Youth Surge". The entire Youth Surge line has not been released yet, but the basic moisturizer will be making it''s first appearance in the late October free give away with purchase at Lord & Taylor.

I think their Repairwear moisturizer is the best thing I''ve even used. Make up (foundation) just slips on over it.
Now I''m bummed too...

 

[OUpearlgirl]

I love Laura Mercier eye shadows. They are so pretty and stay on so well.

My favorite mascara... Ever. Of all time. And I''ve tried a lot, is Maybelline Define-A-Lash. I can''t believe after spending $30 a tube with other brands, the one that works best for me can be found at Wal-Mart.

 

[Lauren8211]

Bare Minerals foundation. Love the stuff!

I tried MAC foundation but it made me break out! I use their under eye concealer with the Bare Minerals.

Eye makeup... I''m not consistent at all. I switch it up based on my mood. I have zero brand loyalty when it comes to eye makeup. I suppose its because I''ve never found one that blows all the others out of the water.

 

[ecf8503]

BE matte primer
Too Faced Shadow Insurance eyeshadow primer
BE foundation
Stila or BE eyeshadows, liners, and blushes
BE Buxom mascara
Laura Gellar brow marker
Revlon (colorstay?) long wearing lipcolor (hate lipsticks and glosses)

I''ve never been much of a makeup person, but I dropped by the MAC store a month or so ago to get makeup for a wedding. I''m kind of in love with their foundation, but I might just be a fan of the brush. Applying it with a brush instead of a sponge = million times better.

 

[kittybean]

I have makeup from all different brands--I just try out a bunch of stuff and see which works for me. Right now I use:

*Foundation--Boots No. 7 mousse from Target (makes my skin look flawless!)

Concealer--Almay Skin-Clearing

*Blush--Tarte Cheek Stain. It''s soooo pretty and natural-looking, and it stays on all day.

Eyeshadow--Stila or Urban Decay in various colors. Most days I don''t wear shadow; I''ll just put some on if I''m going out.

*Eyeliner--people who watch me do it think I''m nuts, but I line the inner rims of my eyes, top and bottom, with a little flat shadow brush and CoverGirl matte black eyeshadow. It stays put all day long. I''ve tried more expensive brands, but they have something in them that makes my eyes sting, so CG it is.

Lips--I''m a gloss w****. I have at least 25 different lip glosses floating around at any given time, and I''ll switch up a few times during the day, depending on which one is closest to me. I never wear lipstick.

Mascara--I seldom wear it because my eyelashes are naturally long, so it can look like a little much for everyday wear, but the Maybelline pink/green tube one is great.

* Since this list is a little long, I''ve starred my "must-have" items

I''m a lip gloss wearer too. I really don''t like lipstick very much. It''s too heavy for me. I have six glosses floating around in my handbag at any given time and a few home in my vanity at home. I thought that was a lot! Hats off to you kittybean!

Haha--I know it''s ridiculous, but I have around two or three in each handbag, another two or three in my work bag, probably one in each evening bag/clutch, a few in my makeup drawer at home, a couple floating around my apartment, one or two in my car, a couple I''ve forgotten in my winter coats . . . it adds up quickly! I have a lot of the Beauty Rush ones from Victoria''s Secret and quite a few of the C.O. Bigelow minty ones from Bath & Body Works.

Heck yes. I love Tweezerman products! I was just eyeballing some glittery tweezerman tweezers at BB&B this weekend but decided I don''t need more than one set.

I''m not a huge makeup person, but I do love NARS and some of MAC''s lipsticks/glasses. The NARS bronzer/blush duo, and the eyeshadow duos are great and last forever. I like MAC''s brushes, also. I like to supplement my small makeup stash with drugstore cult classics like Maybelline Great Lash waterproof mascara and fun colorful eyeshadows or liners like Wet N Wild. Cheap, and I won''t be mad if I drop them in the sink and break them. Hee hee.

I love MAC Studio Tech foundation!
