NARS is my next favourite to MAC.

Nars (for blush), Urban Decay, and Bobbi Brown (for blush and neutral tones).

stila, clinique, chanel, and merle norman are the only brands that I have a LOT of besides MAC. Most other brands, I only have 1 or 2 pieces.
MAC, Stila(foundation and concealers only), Merle Norman, and Clinique(lipsticks, mascaras, glosses, and eyeliners) are my faves. I also have all of the Tarte cheekstains. They're the only blushes I really like, besides the occasional MAC MSF.
While I have a lot of Chanel, I actually prefer their skincare and fragrance over their makeup.

Urban Decay, Nars, and Milani for cheap stuff that is still pretty good.

MAC is my fav hands down. However, I do like some other stuff...
Make-up:
* Prestige makes AMAZING eyeliners. They're waterproof, smudgeproof, and even when I've slept in them, they still looked great the next day!
* L'Oreal Featherlash in Waterproof. Although it doesn't work like it used to
* Ulta pinky goopy lip gloss in a pot.. it looks great on me!
* Clinique Raspberry lip tint or something. It looks great on me, and doesn't ever leave my lips feeling clamy or gross... when it finally is "gone" my lips are soft and pretty
* Green Magic Cube (does Prescriptives make this?) it's an acne fighting green concealer! yay! Me likely. My really reddish skin loves this cube.
* Covergirl True Blend... but I'm not terribly fond of it. I've tried 92837592387 foundations and have a really difficult time finding one that matches AND looks nice.
* Bonne Bell/Lipsmackers Chapsticks... they are just so cute and fun
and smell delish!
* Burt's Bees yellow tube chapstick. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE IT?! It doesn't dry your lips; it gives you that incredibly tingly feeling; it "heals" any chappiness (especially now that it's winter) that I may have; and when it's gone, my lips are fantastic! I even wear lip gloss over top of it. I loooooovvvveeee it. hehe
Skin care:
* LUSH has amazing skincare products as far as soaps and stuff (especially their Ocean Salt exfoliator!) (and some of their "body" powders are great, too!)
* Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Toner... luuuurrrvvvveeeee it. couldnt' live without it!
* Some Clinique Acne Spot Treatment Gel or something.. it ACTUALLY works! AMEN!
* L'Occitane... their products are heavenly (and smell amazing, too!)
Lotions:
* BBW - any of their "body creams" do wonders on my skin, and their true blue shea butter foot cream is to die for. my feet love it! (and it makes my shoes smell good)
Brushes:
* Japonesque - these are nearly as good as MAC, in my opinion, and waaaay cheaper.
* Sonia Kashuk - Not bad!
as a funny side not... i noticed that no one has mentioned that Victoria's Secret is one of their fav cosmetics. I think that's funny because they always advertise as if their cosmetics are very high-end, but i think they're just high priced.
