Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

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.

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!

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, 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 🙁

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.

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!

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.
