  • I’m with everyone who says Revlon lipsticks. They come in a ton of colours, are available pretty much anywhere, have a great texture, and are quite inexpensive. They’re better than a lot of higher end stuff as well as pro theatrical stuff. Sorry, Graftobian and Ben Nye, your sticks suck compared to these. The only complaint I have is I do need to keep reapplying them, but I’m not sure if that’s their formula or my super dry skin. :/ I go through lip balm something fierce.

    A lot of Wet 'N Wild lipsticks are really good, too. I used to love their Fantasy Makers sticks. These were the ones that came in a super basic clear tube. The packaging is better now, but the sticks inside aren’t quite as good. :( They have some available on Amazon for less than a buck fifty a pop. I’m using a burgundy shade from them and it’s amazing. Right up there with Revlon. It was 99c on Amazon.

    Wet 'N Wild kohl eyeliner pencils. They’re only a buck a pop, for starters, and they sharpen well and glide easily over skin. Once again, they’re better than a lot of higher end stuff that’s out there.


  • Rimmel gel eyeliner–the kind that comes in a little pot.

    That brush that comes with it was rigid with very short, stiff bristles that felt like they were going to cut me at a moment’s notice. The liner itself was impossible to use. I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but I had to really really dig into the gel to get any colour at all. And the gel inside the pot was like a solid block. That god-awful brush could barely scratch it, and my other brushes didn’t have a snowflake’s prayer in hell of getting any product out of the jar.

    I’m still sort of pissed I burned around six bucks on it. :/
