nice link thanks.

I like Loreal's Voluptuous mascara, and MAC's mascara X is awesome.

Swiss Ives Whipped Silk. It's just regular lotion with the spout cut into a snowflake shape to make it look like whipped cream. It works just like any other think of lotion I've ever bought.

I use Mary Kay for my makeup and their facial cleaning system. The only exception is that my blush is Channel. I really like the quality of Mary Kay and I figure why pay more when you can pay less. It also helps that a member of my family sells the product.

Anybody have a recommendation for a good eye liner or lip liner?

Lancome's Definicil mascara is untouchable! :) Its worth every bit of the price (about $22).


~Product rant~
I HATE Neutrogena's Visibly even moisturizer. BLAH!

I'm rather fond of a particular liner, but I can't remember the name! I'm almost positive it's Maybelline. It's liquid, I like liquid liner, but it took me forever to figure out how to put it on without temporarily blinding myself.

Proactiv made me break out.
Yuck!

I use the MAC studio line, it isnt as thick as the clinique superfit I used to use. Doesn't hurt me any!

Two products that are def not hyped u enough-
Benefits Bad Girl Mascara.
Omigosh! people ask me all the time if I have fake lashes on.
The only time it comes off is when I fall asleep on my arm or a pillow.
The other product- Amazing Concealer by Amazing cosmetics. Use just a LITTLE bit (you really have to get a concealer brush) because just a little bit goes really far! I've had the same tube for 6 months and it isn't even a 1/3 gone!
LOVE IT!
Covers EVERYTHING and doesn't come off. I can even use it then put powder on and be done.

Products that I hate:
Pantene (anything)
Clinique lipglosses
Bath and body works shower gel (smells great, but doesnt clean well enough, the shower cream does better).

L'Oreal makes an excellent kohl eyeliner that's under $10.00. I highly recommend it! Or, if you want a department store brand, Lancome makes a kohl pencil that is just as good. (In fact, I suspect that they are the same formula given that Lancome is owned by L'Oreal.) That one's expensive, though; $20+

It works great for me. I've been using it for almost a year and I love it. I have oily skin and was always having problems and my skin has never looked better. I never had any of the red skin problems either.

Bumping because this is a fun thread.

New opinion on an overrated product: Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss. If you look at my original post that started this thread, I said I didn't like Juicy Tubes because they were too sticky. I now retract that statement, because Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss is like glue, and Juicy Tubes are wonderful by comparision. I think some guy invented the Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss in hopes that he could glue women's mouths shut.

A new love- St. Ives 24-hour moisturizing body lotion. I get dry skin in the winter, particularly on my arms and legs. I just started using this stuff yesterday, and it is awesome.

Anything by Clinique is overrated. SOmeone had tons of it and gave me a whole stash of lipsticks (freebies that they get), mascara, makeup remover, facial moisturizers... I was excited at first, but later I hated it. I got an allergic reaction from the hypoallergenic lipstick.

Another love- Clinique Pore Minimizer instant perfector. This may have been another on KR gave me. It's expensive stuff in a small tube, but this stuff rocks! (and a tube lasts forever).

I don't really use it for my pores, I use it more for shine control. I don't have oily skin at all, but my forehead may get a little shiny come mid-afternoon. Not with this stuff! I rarely bust out my compact anymore

I just started using Mary Kay... my sisterfriend is selling it. It is awesome. I used to use clincic but I only like some of the line. the lotion would break me out. and the mascara wand was giant.
I agree the shower lotion stuff is crap... its weird...
I also tried some estee Lauder mascare and it made my eyes all irritated... so I must be allergic.

Try the MK Timewise microdermabrasion kit; it is amazing! I never liked MK until one of my sisters started selling it and I wanted to help her out so I bought it. I'm glad I did!
