For the "Glam" of it
 
So i'm always on the outlook for wonderful make up,
I've tried everyting from high end to drug store cosmetics.
I must say my addiction is the perfect mascarra,
so here is a place to share your best finds, what works, what doesn't.
C`mon ladies share your scores and secret beauty tips.

I'll go first after years of trying to find that just right mascarra
I think the fit for me is Falsies by Maybelline,
It does plump and lengthen the lashes without that nasty
crumbs dropping everywhere.

I love DiorShow for mascara:

But also love Voluminous for a cheaper version (although this one does dry out quicker meaning you have to buy a new one about every month):

I love, love, love the look of deep black lashes and started wearing L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black - waterproof of course. Unfortunately by the end of my workday it migrates below my lower lashes and I'm sportin' the raccoon look.

The only mascara I've found that will not do this to me is also from L'Oreal - Double Extend in blackest black.

I also found an amazing eye liner 24hour wear, waterproof, smudgeproof - Kiss 24 Hour Luxury Eye Liner also in blackest black. It's a twist-up; I just adore it and buy 3 or 4 at a time because I'm afraid it will be discontinued.

I agree carbon black is wonderful, and finding
the perfect 24 hr liner is hard to find.
Ty for the tip:)

I love how L'oreal Lipstick feels on my mouth and it looks lucious too.

I am a fan of R&R mascara.
I have always been a MAC fan until Estee Lauder purchased them. It seems as though their products have gone up in price and the quality has gone down.

I used to wear their lipstick until my shade was reported to be the one with the highest lead content.

Am now in search of the perfect red - a very clear red with no undertones. It has to be creamy, long lasting, non-bleeding and smudgeproof. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful.

Tell me more...Does this act like the other stains - drying out your lips and/or flaking off? How about staying power? Does it come in a clear red?

GAH! - Is THAT what happened to MAC? I used to spend literally hundreds of dollars a year on cosmetics and brushes, etc. with MAC and I noticed a distinct decline in the quality.

I still think that Viva Glam I is the most perfect red in the whole wide world and wear it religiously (my signature color for almost 10 years)

Thanks Medusa, I'll have to check that out too.

I haven't had any flaking problems, and so far I've only tried the one I posted as I tend to go with the violet family for lip color. It stays as well as most lipsticks, worth a try.

Thanks Punkin. I'll check this out too.

The best stain I ever had was one purchased at a health food store back in the 90s. It was vegan and lasted for days - so help me. Alas, I can no longer find the stuff.

Yeah, its a shame what happened to MAC's quality.
I miss the old MAC. I still havent found another brand that compares to their lipstick.
I now use a few other brands that I love. Rock & Republic, Shu and Dior.
What other brands do you use?

Ruby Woo is a matte.
So the staying power is amazing. And, I love that if I want really glossy lips I can put a red or clear gloss over it.
I usually stay with the matte look of it with false eyelashes and the winged eyeliner look.

I'll second the Ruby Woo! It's another GREAT (and retro!) red!
