"I wonder if she'll be a vegetarian after this" haha. Thanks for sharing @gemstone <3 that was really cute
 
I really hope I have a job before sign ups, because I want to do this so.bad. No one I know likes makeup, but I still attempt to throw in an eyeliner or something sometimes, but I'm fairly certain, they pretty much go unused :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This would just be so much fun!

 
I love Mac lipglass and eye shadows. Well all their makeup. I have never tried Too Faced; I was close to buying it but went back to Mac. I think Clinique have pretty colors and they are designed for sensitive skin. I am interested in trying the new Marc Jacobs cosmetic line that's in Sephora. The colors are beautiful.

Jac13, I'm with you! I did try Too Faced lipstick, but the colors I got in no way matched the colors on the screen ... I was so disappointed! And one thing I am particular about is my lip color! And I would LOVE to try a Marc Jacobs nail color, I just can't decide on a color ... I love ALL of them!

 
I feel like one of the only people on this forum who can't afford/has never tried MAC. A splurge for me is Urban Decay.

Don't feel lonely ... the only MAC I have tried is an eyeshadow. It WAS superior, more pigment, use less theory ... and Urban Decay is as big a splurge as MAC online, which is where I do my shopping. I have 4 UD eyeshadows. Same rich pigment! I have my eye on a UD lip color SOON!

you're not alone. i can't afford MAC and I also see no reason to try it tbh. I get all my high end makeup and skin care items through points and discount codes on birchbox, and i'm totally content with that!

Yeah their lipstick is awesome. It was my last big makeup purchase and it was entirely worth it. Thank you guys for making me feel not alone :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am not crazy about MAC/feel like it gets a lot of hype.  I have a few lipsticks from them and they are nice, but they don't feel that much better or nicer than other high quality lipsticks I own.  I am not huge on eyeshadow in general, though so I can't speak towards that.  I am a way bigger fan of NARS and would much rather save up for their products than for MAC.

I got the Marc Jacobs gel eyeliner pencil as a 100 pt perk from sephora and it is so nice!  Smoothest pencil I have ever used.

@gemstone There's a NARS combo I am lusting after right now! It is like soft shades of burgundy. Can't remember the name without going to look it up. I get a lot of my beauty products at Beauty.com and use intro offers from their emails to get some nice large size samples. And you earn dollars back every quarter! This quarter I had 6.54 to use and I used an intro to get a free Hen Party Lippy from butter London and I bought th Deborah Lippmann Foot Fetish foot file. Plus 3 free samples with orders over $25 $25 and free shipping.

 
AMEN. When my older sister first got into make up she was all about MAC. I think it's a common first stop for people in the make up world. I never liked it and I don't own a single MAC item but i LOOOOOOVE Nars so much.

NARS is so very pigmented that I have to be VERY careful applying it so that I don't use TOO much and end up looking like a vampire! I have a navy blue, a grey, and a white eyeshadow, and NARS Orgasm and NARS ? . Just went and looked up the eyeshadow I want ... it is NARS Trio Douce France, but I can't seem to pull the trigger when it's over $40 for one item! Maybe at the end of next quarter, I will have more dollars back to apply to it!

I've only tried a handful of MAC items, and all of those were gifts or given to me. But unlike some others, I don't find it any better than my usual brands and for me, it's not worth the price or the snooty salespeople. I think the hype makes me want something incredible, and the Mac I've tried (shadows pigments, lipstick) is nice but nothing special.

 
I went through a major MAC phase a few years ago after being just a dabbler for many years.  The reason I was such a devoted fan:  Convenience.  I could leave my desk, walk out of my office, walk into Macy's, buy lipstick/nail polish, and be back at my desk in under ten minutes.  And I did this a *lot* due to the fact that I hated my company and job.  I spent far too much time crying and doing my nails in the restroom (I would get so upset with everything that taking a break and giving myself a manicure in a toilet stall was the only way I could get through the day sometimes) before I finally figured out an escape plan.  *So* glad I'm not there any more!  I still do my nails just about every day, but it has turned into an evening wind down ritual sort of thing (it forces me to sit quietly for half an hour, which is something I sometimes have problems with), not a let-me-pretend-I'm-anywhere-but-here-for-ten-minutes thing.
