Mine have to be Tarte and Elf

Tarte just didn’t work out for me I used to love Elf, but recently it’s just not been that great.

    I got one of her palettes on sale for, like, $25 a while back and decided to try it. It’s nice, but definitely doesn’t justify the original price! My Colourpop and ELF work just as well lol.

      Colourpop is such a good value for a really nice product. Their shadows remind me of Lancome back in the day when I worked for them.

        I’ve used colourpop for yrs & am still surprised how many of my friends have never heard of them. Now that they’re in Ulta maybe that’ll get their name out even more. I need them to never go out of business bc it’s the best quality makeup for the price!! Their shadows, lippies & cream blushes are my favs!

          I didn’t know they were in Ulta now! That’s great info. Such nice product and awesome value, I usually go for the eyeshadow palettes but I’m interested to try lip products without the hassle of shipping

            Only a few of their items are available in store. They also have wonderful lip glosses & lip cremes! I own a ton & love them all!

        Colourpop is such good value. My only beef with CP is their coarsely milled sparkle shadows which start flaking out of the pans during shipping and making a mess in the palette.

      I got a mini, and as it’s my only experience with PMG I won’t be having any others. All that hype for the patchiest eyeshadow in my bag.

      I recently learned that she has two manufacturers: One in Italy and one in USA? Source - she talks about it right after the first swatches. So the formulations that people go bananas for are suppose to be the higher end ones from Italy and those are the $130 palettes. When she makes cheaper palettes, she also uses a “cheaper” (we’ll call this relative because her products are still expensive 😅) manufacturer it sounds like, which Patty says in the video doesn’t have the same payoff quality. The only way to check the manufacturer is to check on the back of the product itself.

        i could never figure out why some people didn’t get the hype.

        i don’t appreciate the colors they put in the palettes but i will defend their quality to the death. The mothership palettes are the most pigmented, easily blended, NEVER ANY FALLOUT (looking at you colourpop). I swear once you try mothership you never go back.
