What brand dominates in your beauty stash?

What brand dominates in your beauty stash? Or are you totally equal opportunity?

MAC dominates my stash, more by the nature of their releases and having this blog – so many collections, gotta cover each and every one, which leads to lots and lots of MAC!

    MAC too :) hehe you’re so lucky that you have such an awesome hobbie/job! :)

  2. MAC, Illamasqua, and Bobbi Brown I would say!

  3. Michelle says:

    It’s funny that MAC dominates my collection but it’s my second favorite brand after NARS.

  4. i’ll have to go with MAC as well. purely because it’s the most affordable out of all the good quality cosmetic brands. also, i think the fact that, as you said, there are so many collections and such a wide range to choose from, there’s always something new to indulge in.

  5. Natalie says:

    MAC, hands down! Nars is a close second.

  6. Erica says:

    I’m a makeup newbie…MAC dominates and Sugarpill is a very strong runner up!

  7. Nepenthe says:

    MAC by far. It’s where I started and while I’m by no means exclusive with MAC I’m a fan of their eye shadows, lipsticks & pigments.. soooo yea. ^_^

  8. Liz says:

    MAC and Urban Decay! :)

  9. Amanda says:

    MAC for sure!!

  10. Ali says:

    up and away by far Urban Decay. i’m very loyal :)

  11. Andrea says:

    Ha! MAC dominates for me as well.. I would like to try other brands, but MAC just comes out with so many collections that I barely earn any money before I’m spending it there :P

  12. Ashley says:

    That’s not a bad thing! Haha.

    MAC for me too, although I’m starting to wish it was NARS.

  13. Nic says:

    MAC. I have lots of stuff from other brands, but I’ve been using MAC the longest and I buy it more often than other brands.

  14. shusheshe says:

    Right now, Bobbi Brown, since I’m partial to neutral makeup.

  15. Samantha says:

    MAC & Everyday Minerals!

  16. Kristen says:

    ELF. I know not a lot of people like it, but I’m just a beginner :)
    I have glosses, eye shadows, brushes (all from the studio line) which I like a lot.

    I am branching out though. I have a few things from Smashbox, and I’m really loving them

  17. Miss Silver says:

    NYX, Maybelline and Designer Brand (DB), as well as Australis, which I love.

  18. Stephanie says:

    MAC, MAC & more MAC!!

  19. Jamie says:

    Lancome.. used it since I was 18… been loyal ever since.

  20. Ebony says:

    Definitely Urban Decay, though Stila and Tarte are closely tied for second.

  21. jane knox says:

    MAC and LUSH. some other random things from sephora or whatnot but those two steal my paycheck every month!

  22. Keen Janine says:

    MAC then Sephora.

  23. Christine says:

    MAC for sure, they have the biggest selection and put out the most collections. So my beauty stash reflects that, although I have and enjoy a variety of brands.

  24. Nicole says:

    U!rban Decay! I am in love with their shadows and liners. Sadly, I couldn’t get my hands on the BOS #3 or Naked palette and am stalking all websites that sell UD for both. Also love Mac and am currently growing that collection a lot more. Looking forward to Venomous Villains

  26. Christina says:

    MAC!!!

  27. Salina says:

    Split between MAC and UD. 90% MAC, 10% UD (lots of their palettes) :p

  28. Janet says:

    MAC because of it’s endless new collections and awesome permanant line followed by MUFE and UD.

  29. Regina says:

    MAC, Benefit and UD =)

  30. Natalie says:

    MAC, Dior and NARS. I am reducing MAC stash for NARS though

  31. Thu says:

    Absolutely Urban Decay, by a long shot :)

  32. Starlight says:

    Bare Escentuals,Aromaleigh, Sigma makeup, 100% Pure Cosmetics (made from fruit pigments)

  33. iris says:

    Mac definetly especially lipsticks. Second brand would be Avon love their products

  34. Claudia says:

    For me MAC is like 75% of my makeup but brands like UD , nars and chanel are slowly growing too :)

  35. Lo says:

    MAC of course! X-D Its collections are always a temptation

  36. BF says:

    In this order
    1. MAC (60%)
    2. Smashbox (15%)
    3. NARS (10%)
    4. Stila (3%)
    5. Bobbi Brown (2%)
    6. The remaining 10 % belongs to every other brand in existence or discontinuation pretty much equally between them…:)

  37. Jennifer says:

    MAC, Clinique, and Stila :)

  38. Laura says:

    NARS and MAC definitely

  39. Janet says:

    Lancome, haha… I don’t have a very large makeup stash though…

  40. Nanda Chaves says:

    I’m a MAC-aholic either!!!
    My stash have mostly MAC products!
    They’re the best!!!!

  41. Paddychat says:

    Oups !
    Chanel and Estee Lauder for lips
    Make Up For Ever (MUFE) et T. Leclerc for powders
    Mac for foudation
    MUFE for eyes pencils
    Nars for blushes
    Dior, Mac, MUFE…for eyeshadows

    I’m not exclusive for make up !!!

  42. Eta says:

    Chanel. Like 95% of my products are from Chanel.

  43. Heather C. says:

    My collection is very crazy and all over the place. I love trying new brands!

  44. Carrie Ann says:

    Definitely MAC. I also have a lot of stuff from Urban Decay, Benefit and Clinique, and some Lancome, DuWop, Bare Escentuals (love their Buxom line), NARS and Too Faced.

  45. lazeny says:

    Kanebo dominates my makeup stash. Followed by Guerlain then Chanel.

  46. Actionmags says:

    It used to be Stila but they left ireland but I have a good mix

  47. goldfish says:

    the balm, stila, urban decay and too faced

  48. Meika says:

    Definitely MAC.

  49. El says:

    I have been using MAC the longest but I love all my Arbonne stuff since I have such sensitive skin, it’s my go-to everyday brand. Those two are tied followed closely by Urban Decay and a sprinkling of many other brands

  50. Erica says:

    I guess it’s MAC…. almost 90% of my blushes are MAC, although I don’t own a lot of its eyeshadows or lipsticks, but ya, most of the compact-form makeup are from MAC, and mainly because it’s so affordable compared to many other brands.

  51. Charlene says:

    Mary Kay and Revlon dominate my stash. NYX is getting there. :)

  52. Ingrid says:

    MAC by far!!

  53. Mara says:

    MAC, Urban Decay and NYX.

  54. Emma says:

    Avon……..my mom’s a rep and I get it for free.

  55. Rosanna says:

    65% is MAC, of course! (it’s my first makeup brand), But I am starting to lose interest because other brands are catching my eye – the more expensive ones unfortunately.

    20% is NARS which comes in second, their blushes are my weakness (eyeshadow duos on occasion).

    10% is MUFE which is third. 5% is other stuff (GOSH, etc)

  56. Elizabeth says:

    I think mine is a three way tie between Too Faced, Maybeline, and MAC.

  57. nina says:

    H&M cosmetics!amazing palettes,yummy lipglosses+affordable prices..2nd runner-up mac,3rd chanel

  58. daphne says:

    shu uemura! :) :)

  59. Hend says:

    Dior then YSL

  60. Zoffe says:

    Definitely MAC ;)
    But that’s mostly because I work for them and because they come out with so many different products all the time.
    I have quite a few colors from brands like Fyrinnae and GOSH too :)

  61. Lisanne says:

    Gosh make-up! I’m Gosh “ambassador” so I get some products but I already loved the brand and had a lot of it before I became ambassador.
    I’d love to have an entire MC stash but that’s just too expensive for me :(

  62. kali says:

    It’s weird because I think I have a good “assortment” from every brand. Even though I love particular brands more than others, I always get products from every brand as all brands have their great “must have” products.

    MAC definitely dominates my lipstick drawers though. It’s a shame that I use them about 5% of the time!

  63. Kerstin says:

    It’s Chanel… but my collection is very small… yet ;)

  64. Laura says:

    MAC by far, although I also have a lot of Urban Decay eyeshadows and eyeliner pencils.

  65. AnaG. says:

    I was a huge fan of Bourjois, because it’s affordable and very good but, since I started using MAC (not so cheap), I’ve been spending my money there…at the moment I still have more stuff from Bourjois though.

  66. Ritournelle says:

    Chanel comes first (Inimitable mascara, Joues contraste blush, Rouge Coco) and Dior comes second (Nude and concealer).

  67. It has to be a tie between Chanel and Nars. Chanel’s face products & lipsticks are great and I love Nars eyeshadow duos and Velvet Matte Lip Pencils. I used to buy a lot of MAC when I was younger, but now not so much.

  68. Val says:

    MAC and NARS!!! Just love these two brands…Bobbie Brown follow closely though….

  69. Andrea says:

    MAC and Urban Decay (love their eyeshadows and eyeliners). I’m becoming obsessed with Nars lately so they might catch up eventually.

  70. ledonatella says:

    MAC, Aveda because of work, and NARS.

  71. Hilana says:

    I wish I could say MAC. But I can’t. :)
    I seem to have a collection featuring a lot of brands. From Make Up Forever to L’Oreal.

  72. Jess says:

    Funnily enough MAC & Urban Decay although I love MUFE, Illamasqua & Nars more… I guess MAC & UD are more affordable so you end up buying more.

  73. Mariel says:

    MAC, then YSL because I have a collection of the rouge voluptes which are my HG lipsticks. I love ysl but everything in the brand is just pricey :/

  74. Nadine says:

    I would say that 95% of my makeup is MAC.The rest are some Chanel products and stuff from drugstore brands.
    There are so many brands that I would like to try and buy from(like YSL,Guerlain,Bobbi Brown,…),but my budget is kind of small,so it all goes to MAC,since they have collections coming out all the time.

  75. Julie says:

    I’ve depotted many of my MAC lipsticks and I have been buying Chanel like crazy these couple months. So it is now dominated by Chanel =_=.

  76. Pam says:

    MAC all the way! :)

  77. Melissa (divinem) says:

    MAC closely followed by Dior.

  78. Katie says:

    MAC for sure! They just have so many collections and they’re the most price friendly high end brand. NARS and Benefit definitely tie in second, though!

  79. Morgan says:

    Most definitely Urban Decay!

  80. Rosamaria says:

    Certified MAC-addict here!

  81. caroline says:

    Because I’m a sucker for GWP Lancome is in majority. But Clarins comes in second.

    • caroline says:

      I notice that most say MAC. I have the feeling I’m older than all of you. Maybe I have more $$ power…and so will you once you’re my age ;-) and you’ll still love MAC, but will indulge in those products that are heaven like: Dior, Clarins, Chanel……

      Just a thought!

      • Mee says:

        Well money is certainly not a problem when it comes to makeup, not everyone here is ‘young’. I personally think Clarins has the worst selection of colors. Chanel is nice but not the best. So I guess is what anyone favors and not a matter of money.

      • Kalex says:

        Yup that’s me! 10 years ago my answer would have been drugstore brands and Clinique. Spending $30 on one mascara was completely out of the question. Now my stash is (by far) dominated by Dior and Chanel.

  82. Bahar says:

    MAC of course lol :)

  83. kara says:

    Make up forever of course! although their prices can be steep the quality of their products is mainly what i buy them for.

  84. allison says:

    Bare Escentuals, but MAC is a very, very close second!

  85. Leenie says:

    MAC dominates my stash but I also have other brands that I buy.

  86. Becca says:

    that would be MAC

  87. Lauren says:

    I actually have a pretty healthy mix of all brands mostly because of this blog. Thanks for takin’ the hit Christine! Without your recommendations/reviews, I’d probably have no bedroom, just a make up alley.

  88. Diana B says:

    Def Mac because I love the quality plus how affordable it is compared to others.
