    1. Favorite drugstore brand?: I think I would have to say Maybelline. Over the past two years or so, I really feel that Maybelline’s overall quality has improved immensely. And their ColorSensational lipsticks are my favorite drugstore lipsticks of all time!

    2. Favorite brand to splurge on?: Probably MAC. Granted, MAC isn’t the most expensive brand out there, but I tend to buy it in bulk because of the collections and whatnot.

    3. Favorite brand overall?: Either Stila or Urban Decay. I just think the overall quality for these brands is above the rest, while still being somewhat affordable (in comparison to great brands like Chanel, YSL, and Dior).

    Fav brand overall: MAC (even if they do have snooty MUAs)

    • Joanna says:

      MAC MUA are snooty sometimes! I’m glad I’m not the only oen that feels that way

      • Pamela says:

        I haven’t found many snooty MAC MUAs (maybe one or two) but it’s possible that those snobs see their position working for one of the greatest brands as *status-worthy* and it goes to their heads. Too bad because it’s just makeup. :(

    • Samantha says:

      I hear this a lot and it makes me sad :(
      Where I am I have 2 counters and 1 store very near by and the MUA’s are all so friendly .. last week a male mua was kinda pushy.. but not un friendly? Idk I just feel bad others aren’t the same. It’s too bad.
