    MAC BRUSHES

    I don't know if this subject has been broached before so I decided to start my own thread. I love MAC. I have probably every shadow they've ever made, lipsticks, blushes, etc. BUT, I also own 2 of their brushes and both of them shed like crazy. Has anyone else had this problem? Interestingly...

    GETTING RID OF PRODUCTS. HOW DO YOU DO IT WHEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TOO MANY?

    My lipstick collection is completely OVERFLOWING. I will never EVER use every product I have. I want to do a clean out but I can't bear the thought of throwing out perfectly good, pricey products. How do I do this? Has anyone else done this and if so, how do you decide what to keep and what goes?

    STILA PALETTES

    I have an absolute RAVE! I already have the Stila In the Light Palette and I love it. But I just got the Stila In the Know Palette and am madly in love. The colors are all matte, very pigmented and easy to blend out. I LOVE THIS PALETTE. Both are great but the In the Know palette is definitely...

    Question About MAC Skin Finishes

    I want to get the MAC skin finish in Soft and Gentle but makeup expert that I consider myself, I am not sure how to apply it. Does it go over your powder or IS IT your powder? Is it just used for highlighting? PLEASE ADVISE ME. I am lost.

    NARS GLOSSES. BAD EXPERIENCES ANYONE?

    I admit I watch too many YT beauty "guru" videos but several have complained about the flavor and smell of NARS glosses. I love their glosses and have NEVER had issues with them. They taste fine and smell fine to me. What has everyone else's experience been? LOVE NARS. Second fave after MAC...

    RAVE: Armani Silk Loose Powder

    I used to use the MAC NW 20 loose powder but they discontinued it so I switched. Yes, Armani is quite pricey but their products are AMAZING. I have lipsticks and mascaras by them too. But for now, I just buy the loose powder every few months. LOVE IT. I hope eventually I can find a cheaper...

    WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU REGRET PURCHASING?

    I love Benefit products, but I will never again buy the High Brow stick. What a waste of money. Could've bought something else for the money I spent on that. So what product will you never repurchase?

    QUESTION ABOUT MAC PRIMERS, CONCEALERS AND FOUNDATIONS.

    Have any of you guys ever tried any of the MAC primers and if so, which one did y'all like the most? Smashbox is supposed to be the best. I even heard a MAC consultant tell a customer that Smashbox was better than MAC's primers. So what is the verdict? I have oily skin and live in a very humid...

    MY NEW FAVORITE MASCARA. WHAT'S YOURS?

    I am a hoarder of mascaras. Regarding my make up addiction, I am guilty of having too many different mascaras as well as way too many lip glosses and lipsticks. I currently own about 50 tubes of mascara though I am currently only alternating 10 of those. I know to change them out every 3 to 4...

    REGARDING MAC PAINT POTS.....

    As a lover of all things beauty for most of my life, I may sound foolish asking this question. BUT, as a beauty junkie and HUGE MAC fan, I have always only stuck to dry eye shadow. Now that y'all have informed me what pigments are and how to use them my next question is what exactly is a paint...

    HOARDER OR JUST PASSIONATE ABOUT ALL THINGS BEAUTY?

    I currently am making a list of things I want from Sephora and it is LONG and EXPENSIVE. This despite having so much make-up, there are some products yet to be used. I think I've just found products, through trial and error, that I really like so I am loading up on those products. Is my passion...

    POOR TREATMENT AT MAC

    I normally get GREAT service when I go to buy MAC products. However, today, they only had one young lady working and she was doing a makeover on someone. I had a small list which I pulled out to indicate my desire to purchase product. I sure as heck was not going to wait forever while she made...

    MAC Blushes

    What is your favorite MAC blush? For me, I like too many to say. I usually layer a darker one over a lighter one. My fave so far is called STAY PRETTY. I have fair skin and have found that most of their blushes work for me. So which ones do y'all prefer and why?

    RAVE

    I am totally addicted to MAC and NARS products. But I first used Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On eyeliner yesterday in Perversion and not only did it TRULY glide on, it DID NOT smudge at all. I fell in love. I was doing a dark, daytime eye and wore Urban Decay's Blackout as the shadow for my upper...
