I like MAC products, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives and Makeup forever but I have not found a product worth splurging on other than perfume. I like the lipglosses from brands listed from above. But other than that I am pretty simple. One day I will g to sephora and see what they have. Nars is good too.

Hey, having a grow house bust at the mall keeps rent down, keeping the prices low! HAHAHAHA! You know I’m loving that Essie! Thanks for the link and the love!

I love Essie polish it holds up well. My favorite is Aruba Blue.

notjustfoxybrown – I agree completely!! Benefit needs to extend their line of Play Sticks. Other makeup lines are charting new ground there, but yes, their foundation colors are very limited. I didn’t think Teeter Totter would match me, but it does. For an alternative, have you looked at Iman’s foundation sticks? They’re pretty incredible, and affordable!

This extreme weather had me breaking out. So I splurged on Aveda’s outer peace wash and after 3 days my skin is looking better already. I love Avedas products well worth the splurge.

OK, Bella,
I’ve seen your write lovingly about Benefit a few times now and was dying to try those playsticks … only to discover they have nothing for my chocolate skin tone … and I was crushed!
I know you’ve addressed this in the past but I’m wondering if there’s some way you can find out definitively (or anecdotally even) why, why, why cosmetic companies refuse to expand their range of colors for black skin. We’ve got MAC, Make Up for Ever, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives and a few drugstore brands and that’s it!
OK … vent complete. Now I’m going to check out that $12 shadow!

This recession has really got me down, I’ve got a gig, but I’m saving as much as I can. However, $12 for that fab eyeshadow…I’ve got to try that!

“You know youâ€™ve found some bargain basement shopping if a grow house was busted in your mall of choice, am I right bellas?”

Hey Bella.

I splurge on Nars Lip Gloss in ButterCreme. It ain’t cheap; but its luxurious.
