Mascara - Benefit Bad Gal
Pencil Eyeliner - Miss Sporty (Its the only one that stays on, yet the cheapest, I have tried more expensive ones :rolleyes: )

Lip Gloss - Vaseline (cheap but effective) - I also have "http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1067306&classificationid=1041068" but it makes the skin around my lips red so I can't wear it
Eyeshadow - Ruby & Millie or Urban Decay

I rarely wear make up but I buy lots of stuff from a store around here becasue around once a season you can get those million piece make up sets of their brand that usually go for 150 for like 20. I have 4 of them now I've also got about 400000 lip glosses, most of them are revlon super lusterious but still, i never wear them. I'm lazy.
Oh, and Sally Hansen's chapped lip repair. That is from the gods.

Most expensive thing I'll buy is my false eyelashes, and that's only if I'm going out to a big 'do.
If you use the right amount of the right product then your fine....when i first got the stuff, i tried it out and put wayyy too much on and ended up looking like i was a drag queen! With kryolan you only need the smallest amount to give you the look you want. Don't forget i also live in a very hot humid place, so not many brands of make up manage to keep all day, but kryolan surprisingly does.
So don't knock it until you've used it properly
ETA: Kryolan is not crap, i never heard about them until they used it for my wedding make up....and i was gobsmacked as to how it looked exactly the same at the end of the wedding as it did when she first did it. I was under spot-lights and dying cos it was so hot, but it kept amazingly well...i've been converted since
Cover stick - Rimmel clear complexion
Highlighter - YSL Touche Eclat
Mascara - Rimmel Extreme Definition
Eyeliner - Boots No 7
Eyeshadow/cream - Clinique
Lipgloss - Clinique
Bronzer - Clarins
Concealer - Rimmel Recover. I've tried everything to cover up my dark shadows, and this wins.
Powder - don't wear it all the time, but swear by the mighty Collection 2000 when I do.
Blusher - Maybelline mousse.
Eyeliner - All and sundry. Current faves are the Gosh ones from Superdrug.
Mascara - Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof. I am often tempted away, but I always come back.
Lip gloss - everything from vaseline lip pots to Clinique Superbalm I handily acquired when my brother's girlfriend left him just before Christmas
Its not like you need a masters in make up application to use it properly, you just need practice and the right tools. I don't wear make up everyday, so saying i use it for everyday use isnt exactly the case. I think i use my kryolan aquacolour foundation about 3 times a month and the supracolour foundation once a month.
Concealer: Rimmel Hide The Blemish.
Powder: Boots Natural Collection Loose Powder
Eyeshadow: A mix. Either Boots Natural Collection again, Barry M Dazzle Dust, or the Bourjois single pots. I ALWAYS get complimented on my Natural Collection ones though, so I use them alot
Eyeliner: Rimmel Soft Kohl
Mascara: Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black
Lipgloss: I very rarely wear. If I do, I've got a couple from Avon I got a while back, which will need throwing out soon probably. I have a clear Natural Collection one as well. Other than that, I just wear some Nivea LipBalm
Oh with aloe, I might have to check for that one, and hope its around the same price. I must thank you for educating me.;)
But my mistake, I seem to have unknowingly hit a nerve!
snort
she likes it, so whats the problem?
if it works for her, let her be!
she obviously finds it workable or she wouldnt use it :thumb:
I was just surprised because I've never come across someone who likes to wear Kryolan foundation! Tis all.
Geez!
