clinique is my achilles heel
Bobbi Brown. I hope that doesn’t mean I’m getting old! Her stuff always seems so sleek and polished, while still having just enough sparkle and color to be fun. I always go to the counter intending to buy ONE item, and walk away with 7 or 8.
MAC
MAC Cosmetics because its gorg!
NARS. It’s all just so gorgeous and I always find new things that I want.
MAC, of course! The cool collections always give me something new to look at, the products are always promising, and I LOVE! the looks from each collection.
MAC… i think for a student, it’s one of those more affordable high end brands that doesn’t rocket sky high. and because i’m mostly into e/s, pigments and blushes, i don’t have to care about the complaints many people have had about the foundations and whatnot 😀
Philosophy always gets my attention.
UM MAC…my friend always says they could be selling shit and Id still buy it bc im such a mac addict!
I don’t buy make up just for the brand name, but certain brands ALWAYS have gorgeous products, like Dior, Guerlain, Chantecaille, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, etc. So I get sucked in because of the products, but it’s usually the same brands.
Urban Decay! Never fail to dissapoint me with their amazing range of colours they bring out for their products! & Their packaging is lush! x
MAC and Shu Uemura – Shu Uemura has the best brushes & eyeshadow and MAC always has so many collections!
Urban Decay because of the bright colors
NARS because of the amazing quality
MAC because of the packaging
& sometimes Benefit because of the smart product names
Lush, because mostly I’m so very satisfied with their products. And Guerlain, because I love most of their perfumes AND those wonderful makeup designs.
Chanel… but their collections are smaller than others and less frequent than MAC, so lately I’ve been kinda bored with them.
Mac!
benefit because i love their packaging, quality, color selection, and cute product names. i always find myself reaching for my benefit products the most.
MAC for sure!
NARS!!! nomnomnomnomnom I am absolutely in love with the pigmentation, the buttery softness, blendability and staying power of its products.
Definitely MAC… They never fail to disappoint me! And all the new collections are just the kiss of death!
For skin care, I look for technology. So department brands or medical brands. For colors, I look for package/reputation – MAC, Bobbi Brown, Givenchy, Guerlain are my choices. 🙂
Mac always and second would be nyx.I think for the price u cant go wrong.
M.A.C. and Urban Decay for the bright colors and awesome pigments.
However, I’m starting to branch out to the Make Up For Ever collection.
Make Up For Ever!!
MAC, Bobbi Brown, Nars, and Guerlain.
Mac! I am so addicted to it. My 10 year old says that I can’t go to the mall without taking a trip to the Mac store..
MAC of course. I do really like Urban Decay now. I like Dior and Nars but I can’t afford it. No Way I’m paying 24 bucks for lipstick when I can get similar shades and quality for 14 bucks!
mac: once u get ur first mac product, u immediately get addicted and just wanna buy more and more. especially the cool collections
stila: The packaging is just so cute, and i can even get it at a discount on beautycrunch.com
Nars: amazing quality and suuuper pigmented.
I agree you do get addicted to Mac! I love Mac!
MAC, though I would love to try some more NARS stuff. The pictures draw me in, but the price scares me away.
Mac-variety, price is right
Chanel-Quality, innovativeness, lately they have fallen off that
Guerlain-their packaging in phenominal
Dior-the quality is amazing, does exactly what I want it to do
MAC!
M.A.C. and Stila
Benefit! They never cease to amaze me with their gorge colours and cute packaging!
MAC, Make Up For Ever and NARS. Oh and Urban Decay and Gosh. I love them all! I can’t choose! Haha
MAC. I’m addicted to it 🙂
MAC!!! Although I want; no, need to have some of those NARS blushes! lol
For sure Stila. Quality products!
Smashbox,Stilla,MAC,Bobbi Brown,and NARS
Probably Makeup Forever, which is unfortunate, because their eyeshadow doesn’t agree with me. I love their colors! I can use their eyelashes though. I also love Urban Decay’s colors.
Makeup Forever and Nars. I love Makeup Forever’s foundations.. the face & body foundie gives me a nice dewey look in the winter and their matte foundie help combat my oily-proned skin in the summer! And I also love Nars eyeshadows and blushers.. very pigmented and stunning.
MAC
MAC & NARS
Kat Von D simply because of the packaging!
BE and Urban Decay are my favorite so far. I haven’t had the chance to try a lot of MAC, although I want too. I’ve heard amazing things about it.
MAC, Chanel and Dior!
MAC!
Used to be MAC but I’m just overwhelmed with how much LE they are pushing out now! I prefer Benefit and Lancome now haha!
MAC ^__^
n’ lately im gettin into too faced products, they’re soooo cute!
Guerlain & Nars always sucker, oops ! I mean pull me in !
MAC, NARS
Sometimes Urban Decay, but I can’t buy that in Singapore.
MAC…i also love those ‘kit’ concepts of stila, smashbox and UD.
NARS i like the blush part..so i chk if any new is coming…:)
MAC, NARS, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Dior for me! oh, and Coastal Scents!
I would have to say:
MAC – just my all-time addiction; good quality for an affordable price
Dior – i looove their quint shadow palettes.. amazing quality and definitely worth the money
Urban Decay – great pigmentation on their shadows and lipsticks, and very good overall product quality
NARS – hate their lipsticks but love everything else!
Clinique – may be ignored by some people but they have great lipsticks (creamy, moisturizing, good staying power)
MAC, NARS & Chanel. Chanel comes in such beautiful packaging and it matches my sunglasses. MAC always has something beautiful out. NARS always has some oh so gorgeous eyeshadow or blush coming out. Gah, I need to go on a makeup ban!
I’d say Urban Decay and Too Faced because I love their fun packaging. I used to love Hard Candy but it seems like they’re going under.
MAC, Clinique, Nars, Urban Decay, and Prescriptives, those are my many weak spots!
M.A.C. hands down. I addicted.
You mean besides MAC?
It would have to be UD, MUFE, Stila and I have been getting more and more into Nars.
one word: NARS!
MAC, MAC, MAC!!! But also NARS, Make Up Forever, and some Urban Decay. Chanel has become boring as of late…
MAC and Lunasol, and recently Givenchy!
shu uemura and sugar baby .
piolo pascual on his pictorial on chalk magazine craves for mac . we were shocked with his wisdom .
make up artist like me would prefer make up with concealer .
MAC is my weakness. I get so much of it because I just love the colours and the quality of the products.
