I'm not Making It Up!
I've recently gone on the hunt for better makeup. I'm a fan of the stuff I have now, but I haven't bought good, new makeup in a very long time! I tried a few different places, and even Wal-Mart has a good selection of stuff! I think they're aiming at a younger crowd these days. Hah. Anyway, I tried two different makeup brands, Hard Candy, and Buxom.
I'll start first with Hard Candy! I found this in Wal-Mart, in their makeup section, between M.A.C., and some brand I've never seen before. It was colorful, and fun, and that's what got my attention. However, their eye liners, SUCK. I had to apply it twice, to get the color dark enough to notice, and it burned my eyes. Other than that, the shadows, and nail varnish are fantastic! It's happy, upbeat, and perfect for anyone trying to make a statement (or not? I don't know what you kids think now a days!). I highly suggest their shadows, and such, but try to stay away from their masscara and liquid liners (no matter how sparkly and awesome they are!).
Alright, now to my all-star winner: Buxom. If you've got a pretty penny to spend, do it on this. It's by Bare Minerals, so it's already got the good stuff. Normally, I don't believe companys that say, "it'll do this, this and this!" but, I do believe them! I tried their liquid eye liner, and it was like putting on angel feathers! No burn, no ickiness, no mess. It went on smooth, and pretty, and DARK. And, we all know I loveeee dark.
They also have some fantastic masscaras, like Texas Lashes, which make your lases look 300% bigger (NO JOKING!). Everyone I ask about this, and all the reviews I see is basically along the lines of, "do want do want do want do want!" And, they also catter to my need for sparklies, with the Sequenes Eye Liner.
The Down side? $15 and UP for this stuff. Be prepared to buy their brushes, and their other stuff - once you start, you wont want to stop!
