Pretty much anything by Laura Mercier. Occasionally I'll get something from Bobbi Brown or Mac, but everything else is from Laura.

I love Avon stuff! :)

I recently got a Hard Candy "lunchbox" with a whole bunch of different things in it from Sephora. Great stuff and the price was right. :)

Bobbi Brown shimmerbricks are the shit. I just got the beige one and I love it -- it's great on cheeks and eyes.

I use mainly MAC and Benefit. I Love my aquadisiac eyeshadow such a cool color.

What she said! I am a MAC Momma!
Mr. 1228 knows what gifts to give me: A GC to Lush or a trip to the MAC counter.

Also ditto to Munchkin

I use the Clinique moisturizer for my face because it gets really dry. Other than that, it's all MAC all the time.

I am not very loyal.

I have never met a cosmetic that I didn't like. Maybe a color or something though


I don't discriminate either...I buy it all...Drugstore kinds, expensive kinds, Sephora, the dollar store lipgloss...you name it.

If I could only have 10 things on a deserted island:
(I couldn't narrow it to 3 or even 5)

1. Clinique perfectly real makeup
2.Lancome dual finish powder
3. Revlon skinlights concealer
4. Elizabeth arden creme shadow (Beach girl)
5. Estee Lauder lipgloss (praline)
6 Revlon wet/dry eyeliner
7. L'oeral Voluminous mascara
8. Rimmel all over pencil (faith)
9. Mac blush in Revenge (discontinued :mad: )
10. Lancome eyeshadow (bronze)


And that doesn't even count my skincare.



Has anyone ever used the Olay Regenerist Serums? Are they comparable to lancome Sensation Totale and Estee lauder Idealist?

I can't live with out MAC. Especially my lipglass in love child.

I could never stand MAC lip gloss. They always dry my lips and I hate it.

The only thing constant in my makeup bag is my MAC Studio NC43.

I am not discriminate when it comes to makeup. In my experience, the el cheapo stuff has worked/looked better than some of the high end name brand shit some of you guys mentioned.

I have absolutely no brand loyalty when it comes to cosmetics. I buy what looks good and lasts.

I use the Clinique 3-step skin care system - actually I use only the first two steps, because moisturizer does my skin more harm than good.

Most days, I just throw on some lipgloss (Prescriptives or Revlon) and run out the door.

When I do feel like wearing full makeup:
- Neutrogena or MAC foundation (I like Neutrogena because it's SPF 20)
- Eyeshadow: Estee Lauder, MAC, or Clinique
- Lipstick: I have these "mood matcher" lipsticks (please don't laugh!) They supposedly turn different shades of red or pink depending on your mood :rolleyes: I like them because they stay on FOREVER. A perfect example of good makeup you'll only find in a drugstore.

I could live without any of that stuff if I had to... but don't take away my lipgloss :)

No one has tried the Olay Regenerist Serum or the L'Oreal one? I can't remember the name?

I was wondering if they are compareable to Estee Lauder Idealist or Lancome Sensation Totale.

Honeykiss1974 03-17-2005 09:48 AM

I'm a Lancome lady myself. :)

Although my latest passion are these lip glosses that smell/taste like candies, such Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Sugar Daddies, Hershey's chocolcate, etc. :D

Kisses are so much sweeter.

BetteDavisEyes 03-17-2005 11:30 AM

I have no brand loyalty but recently, I can't get along without my Oil of Olay moisturizer. It provides just the right amount of help for my face. Girls make fun of me b/c they say it's old lady moisturizer but my skin looks good (except during that time of the month ;) ) so I'm happy.

I also loooove my Neutrogena clear lip gloss. I put it on over any lipstick & it looks amazing.

If you go to Olay's website, you can get a free sample.

I LOVE Lancome's Sensation Totale. It's just so freakin' expensive!

Ever since a trip to the Sephora in Times Square back in 1999, I have been pretty loyal to benefit products although I buy most of the products online now since I know which ones I like and they send lots of free samples when they ship your order; and if you sign up for emails, you get lots of special offers.

benefit products I use more regularly:

BAD gal Lash
F.Y... Eye (eye shadow base - keeps the shadow on longer)
ohh la lift (under eye depuffer)
lip plump
play sticks (foundation)
it stick (concealer)
high beam (with the foundation, gives a glow)
glamourette (a powder, blush, lipstick combo)


I also like l'oreal double extend mascara, almay clear complexion powders, and vincent longo lip palettes.
