Expanding collection

[kuuipo1207]

Ok, I love MAC...I mean LOVE MAC, but I'm wanting to expand my collection and get other eyeshadows/liners, pigments, etc. I've been reading through a lot of the topics on the different brands here and have a pretty good idea of what my next addiction will be, but I still would like to hear from everyone about what other brands (drugstore or not) you all like other than MAC and WHY....please include "why" you like the brand - i.e. great color, long lasting, nice pigments, range of color spectrum, personal experiences, etc. Also, if you want to recommend any single products, that would be great too...like UDPP....I don't have it, but from what I've been reading, apparently I should have had years ago. lol. Thanks so much everyone!!

I love color. It's one of the main reasons why I love MAC. For that very reason I like Nars and Urban Decay. Fantastic colors and the pigments are great and wear well. There are a lot of other lines out there with great color but I haven't personally tried them.

I am going to rec'd Wet N Wild, they have the best e/s for the price. Their bronzers are worth a try, all over shimmers are the best you can get. Their liquid liners are also great. Nail polishes always get me compliments.

Milani eyeshadows, enough raves about them on MUA.

For higher end, Dior eyeshadows are wonderful, better than MAC IMO. Dior lip products are very nice, but you may or may not like the rosy scent.

Urban Decay for eyeshadows as well as their eye liners.

I like Urban Decay for their colors. I also use UDPP as a base for my shadows. Wet n Wild gives a lot of quality for the cheap prices of things. Def. agree with the fingernail polish. Have a few Milani quads.

I was afraid you were going to say that. The biggest reason I fell in love with MAC was because of the colors. And from what I've so far in the posts here, is that UD and Nars have great colors...which I feared that they would become my new addictions on top of MAC. lol. Thank you.

I used to wear Wet n Wild when I was in high school...well, their lip liners anyways, which I found that they still have the same lip liner that I used to wear so I bought it a couple of days ago, along with a couple of the liquid liners which I'm pretty happy with. And I have Diorshow Mascara. I guess I can handle the rosy scent of the lipsticks. lol. Thank you!
