    Goodness, I wasn't planning to participate in any forum discussions, but talk about makeup will get me. I am also a makeup JUNKIE. I think I have more than any woman could ever use. I've tried so many brands and have now settled on Tarte and Benefit. But I also have a stock of Bobbi Brown, some Smashbox, Dior, Bare Escentuals, Lancome, Clinique, Stila, Fresh.. and a partridge in a pear tree. Lipsticks and lip glosses seem to be my kryptonite. Sephora is my candy store. Just recently hit the VIB status because I buy so much, but I love the free gifties and deals that come along with it.

    Used to be a MK rep myself. It helped me clear up a lifetime of bad skin, but they started changing formulas on the cosmetics, so I stopped because I no longer liked it. The skincare is great, but now I think the makeup is crap.

    Hey, you know, if you want to get rid of any of that stuff to clear out some room, I can always give you my shipping address...:flowerforyou:
  • Tempted to order some Bobbi Brown makeup as I am reading her book called Pretty Powerful. The looks in there are amazing! I don't technically NEED any more makeup though. x

  • Mary Kay gets alot of hate? From whom? I never hear that in my neck of the woods...

    I have some makeup artist friends and they would rail against it. It could just be them.

    My sister used to sell Mary Kay. She stopped, and had a whole bunch of leftover stuff that was never going to get used, so I pretty much took all of it. I mostly just use it to practice new stuff with, but every time I've ever helped a boy get into a drag, I have used my Mary Kay makeup just because I have so many different shades of foundation, which I use for highlighting and contouring, and overall, it works pretty well, so I can't hate it. I don't love it, but it works, and if it works, I like it.

    Thanks to this thread, I just went online and ordered Naked2 and Smashbox photo finsh primer from Sephora. My name is Patti, and I'm a makeup junkie.

    Going to look into the Naked myself. :-)
  • My roommate is a cosmetics consultant at Macys so I get to try new stuff all the time :happy:

    I love Benefit products for primer, foundation and blush, and Urban Decay is my favorite for eyes. I don't know what I would do without Primer Potion, Perversion Eye Liner and Smoked Palette.

    I spend wayyy too much on makeup! lol

    I don't use make up. I wake up looking this pretty.

    I'm a Makeup Junkie too! Since I don't want to spend money on big clothes that I am determined not to be able to wear soon, I spend it all on makeup! :) I'm loving all these new ones to try! My favs are definitely MAC and Smashbox Photo Finish Primer at the moment but now I have a lot of new ones to check out. :)

    I also love the primer potion from UD. Half price at the Rack!
  • I just went to Ulta and spent $100 on makeup. Thanks a lot, guys.

    Me! I have a $50 Ulta gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I have no idea what I want. I think I might want the new Too Faced Pocket Pallet with their shadow insurance but I am not sure.
    I do hair and make up for a living, so it's only fitting I be somewhat obessed.

  • Unfortunately, losing weight comes at the price of me being ADDICTED to buying really nice make up and hair stuff and face creams.. I guess I feel like my body is looking good so I want to make everything else look that good too.

    I am addicted to "cant believe they're real" mascara, anything Urban Decay, Bare minerals concealer and warmth, and Sephora's facial moisturizer..

    I posted this on it's own but it's getting burried. Has anyone used Bliss Fat Girl Slim products?

    I'm obsessed with Trilogy Rosehip Oil - the stuff is amazing at healing facial scars and moisturizes without being greasy. Also a sucker for anything Laura Mercier!

    Love Urban Decay too, i have 2 of the Volume 2 pallettes lol. 1 at mine and 1 at my boyfriends as its too big to carry about.
    Its totally worth the money as it lasts for ages.
    I have a hard time finding good mascara though :(

    I use Full n Soft by Maybelline. Not expensive, and doesn't crumble or smear!

    YES! FullnSoft is the BEST mascara. I tired dozens over the last decade and Full n Soft is the only one I still use.

    Not tried them but was thinking of doing so once I work my way through my Soap and Glory mountain! x

    I'm a youtube makeup tutorial junkie and out of all the reviews of stuff I've tried.... can't go wrong with Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner. It's cheap, but I love it more than any prestige makeup I've tried!
