I just have a question. Does anyone here have multiple foundations too? I have them from sheer and light to pancake coverage.
sure, MAC Studio Fix compact and liquid, Chanel Double Perfection and Armani Silk Powder Foundation (the coverage is just sklightly better than from a powder)
whyfashion: i love how you support the Canadian economy by purchasing so many Canadian brands (LW, Annabelle, Marcelle). I think LW products are fabulous but a bit $$ for drugstore (though SDM isn't much of a drugstore now is it). It encourages me to start purchasing Canadian products because all 3 of those brands are excelleng for their price.
This thread has encouraged me to save up and buy some higher end products instead of tons of lower end. Of coursem, tehre are many drugstore products that are great (mascaras, glosses). But I totally regret buying all these eyeshadows that lack in pigmentation when i couldve just gotten 1 Dior palette w/ excellent quality. It's actually more worth it since I barely wear makeup except for going out on weekends. I guess that's what my current 'make up fasting' (no purchasing cosmetics for a few months) is for!
I ahve added CG illuminator stick, maybelline powder foundation, and CG trublend illuminating powder to my makeup bag in the past few days! The turblend powder has a butt load of sparkle in it, like a HUGE butt load, so please go very lightly if you use it. I found that out that hard way, lol

Thank you. It is all about the notion of embracing what you have around you. Why pay more for other brands when Canadian products have the same quality and costs less. Also, just like clothes, makeup is about rareness and unique-ness.
BTW, not all drugstore e/s are crappy, at least not Marcelle, Quo and annabelle. Wet N Wild (yes, WnW) has great eyeshadows, you should check these out. For what is good in drugstore what's not, check out this : http://www.makeupalley.com/product/s...&GO.x=9&GO.y=9
Dior eyeshadows do have the best quality, it is extremely creamy and blendable, so worth the high price, although I could not afford much =P

Im 12 so I never never ever wear make-up but for some lame reason I have a few thnigs I liek to keep:
- Liquid liner in brown from Nivea Beaute
-Pencil liner in brown from Nivea Beaute
-Dermalogica Active moist
-St Ives Apricot scrub
-Some nice vitamin e lipbalm from the body shop.
-I do not wear blusher and dont like it, so I pinch my cheeks- gives a great glow and it looks healthy.
-Talika Lipocils
^^ no not all drugstore is crappy. I am in LOVE with this new colorstay foundation w/ softfelx from revlon. Not to mention I could not live w/o my maybelline mascara. Just remember, if you apply more than one coat, "great lash" becomes "crappy lash", lol
currently updating my necessaire so it's rather sparse...
- Chanel poudre universelle libre
- Chanel cils al cils noir mascara
- Mavala black nailpolish
- Isadora berry red lipstick
- Lancome juicy tubes in hot framboise
nice collection!
i had one of the juicy tubes like 2 years ago that had a very adorable pink shade in the tube but looked clear no matter how much i put on my lips, is this one the same?
mine was a bit lighter, can't remeber the shade.. but i don't need a clear lipgloss anymore, and i loved this shade of pink ^^;
ill go now and either take a pic, or make a list of my stuff
