Rant & Rave: MAC Cosmetics

Rant & Rave: MAC Cosmetics

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about MAC Cosmetics!

my answer: I feel like they're a brand that is always trying to innovate/develop new formulas, but sometimes I'm not sure if they're developing them to be truly innovative or simply to throw something new out there and see if we bite. I would...

Rant & Rave: Too Faced

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Too Faced!

my answer: They really understand their target market--I think they put out a lot of really well-packaged, cute kind of things with good themes and color selections more often than not. I wish they would recycle colors and reuse names, or perhaps...

Rant & Rave: Urban Decay

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Urban Decay!

my answer: I'm a huge fan of their lipstick and eyeshadow ranges, and I love that they have a pretty good variety of colors to choose from. I'd love to see their lipstick range offer more finishes and more cool-toned shades, though. And one...

Rant & Rave: Waterproof Eyeliner

Rant & Rave: Waterproof Eyeliner

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Waterproof Eyeliner!

my answer: Sometimes formulas can be stiffer to get on, though once on, they're locked in! I also don't like removing them sometimes as they can be harder than regular eyeliner. They are great if you have watery eyes!

Rant & Rave: Pastel Lipsticks & Lipglosses

Rant & Rave: Pastel Lipsticks & Lipglosses

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Pastel Lipsticks & Lipglosses!

my answer: Sometimes they can look really chalky or milky (in the case of gloss, typically) so they'll settle into lip lines or the white base will be too stark against my skin tone. With enough brightness, they can be really...

Rant & Rave: Pastel Eyeshadows

Rant & Rave: Pastel Eyeshadows

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Pastel Eyeshadows!

my answer: When they're REALLY pigmented with smooth consistencies, they can be really fun ways to incorporate color into a look that isn't neon. I tend to prefer my pastels with some shimmer, just because they're often better quality! ...

Rant & Rave: Eyeshadow Pencils

Rant & Rave: Eyeshadow Pencils

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Eyeshadow Pencils!

my answer: When they're really creamy, they're amazing for quick, easy looks, and they can almost double as an eyeliner (some are better at this secondary task than others). When they're stiff, they can be really annoying, because even...

Rant & Rave: Curling Irons

Rant & Rave: Curling Irons

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Curling Irons!

my answer: My only rant are ones without some sort of stand so it can rest on something when I'm not using it, and ones where the buttons aren't placed right so it is too easily turned off/adjusted. My rave is they produce very pretty results!

Rant & Rave: Synthetic Makeup Brushes

Rant & Rave: Synthetic Makeup Brushes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Synthetic Makeup Brushes!

my answer: They've come a long way in the past five years, which is a fabulous thing. They're often more affordable and show more consistency in quality. I don't find they're as good with powders (still), even though they've...

Rant & Rave: Holiday Color Collections

Rant & Rave: Holiday Color Collections

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Holiday Color Collections!

my answer: Some brands get REALLY repetitive over the years, which is sort of great, as it frees up money for other products, but at the same time, it can get disappointing to see a favorite brand churn out the same standard...
