How many beauty brands do you follow? What brands are you always on the look out for something new?
well im new to make up and i was wondering besides MAC(which clearly seems to be great!) what other brands do you recomend for eyeshadows? let me know!
Mostly Mac but also NARS, Chanel, Aveda, Christian Dior, Lancome, Sisley, Urban Decay, Make Up Forever, Guerlain, Smashbox, just getting into Ben Nye and GOSH (very fun and pigmented). Usually for me to be interested in the other brands, it has to be a very intresting color/packaging/concept for me to be excited about them.
I am a total NARS girl. I also follow Urban Decay, but not as obsessivly as I do NARS. I dip into MAC every coupla launches or so. They are just doing so many LE's that I don't find it fun anymore. That being said, I LOVE my chocolate spice quad!
Mainly MAC and Urban Decay, but also Stila and Nars. I don't really follow any other brands unless they come out with a particularly interesting collection one season.
MAC, OPI, Benefit, Lancome and I will definately keep my eye on Anna Sui, two faced, and stila. But since they don't sell them at The Bay I don't follow them as much. Actually ,they recently stopped selling Benefit at The Bay (!!!!!!!!!!!!) so I don't know where I'm going to get my Benefit fix now! I really adore benefit.. so it was very tragic for me to hear this :(
Too many considering how much money I make: MAC, Shu Uemura, NARS, Dior...and then whatever catches my fancy along the way.
I've seen Alba products in CVS recently. You recommend them? I may have to check them out.... The only brand I follow closely (ie know almost all the products) is Lush, but I'm starting to follow MAC now. I like some other makeup brands (like Benefit, tarte, UD) but don't have more than one or two products from each.
MAC is my #1, I have gotten into some products from Beauty from the Earth and have been pleased! Skincare wise, I love ALBA BOTANICA!
Really just MAC. I get a Bobbi Brown newsletter so I'm up to date but they don't count since I haven't bought anything from them in years.
