My favorite eyeliner is Rimmel too! Though I really want to try Stila & it's on my Christmas list. As for low priced blush/bronzer, I like Jane, Be Pure Oil Free bronzer.
Check out the Ulta site. They have some decent things themselves (I have good eyeshadow base made by them) as well as many walmart-shelf through higher end stuff.
I find it always better to SHOW men what I want them to buy. Pictures help them remember!
