I HATE how this thread died down ): I loved reading everyone's reviews.
Now, I actually have some money saved up from working so I can finally invest in some products.
Can anyone give me some recommendations for a starter kit?
Besides drugstore stuff, I only have the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette and one of those Sephora mascara samplers
Also some organization tips!
I think I'm gonna post an organization video this week. I already filmed it the other day but it was too dark so I'm gonna try again lol.
For your "starter kit", what brands/price range are you open to? And what types of products are you looking for?
Not too too outrageous but if it's worth the money, I'll get it. Like the Benefit boxed powders seem extremely expensive for the amount they give you.
I'm open to really any brands. I've been looking a lot at Urban Decay, Benefit, Too Faced, and Stila though. I'm going to look up MAC counters near me too.. I know there isn't a store anywhere close.
In response to the post above instead of quoting the entire thing(;
I've seriously never considered MUFE because it always seemed so expensive and the only person on youtube I've seen use it is Meganheartsmakeup. I'll definitely look at some products though.
I don't know how I feel about foundations though. I have such oily, acne prone skin that by halfway through the day it's off my face. My eyelids are really oily too. What would you use for a primer? I can't even use a crease color in my CS palette because they crease so easily on my eyes. I'll probably just go for the UD Primer Potion.
I think I've got more than enough mascaras to last me with this Sephora Sampler. Benefit Bad Gal, MUFE Smoky Lash, Smashbox Bionic, Tarte multiplEYE, Bare Essentials Buxom Lash, Cargo Lash Activator.. yeah I'm good (;
I've really been liking the Loreal Hip gel liner lately but it's drying out, is there anything similar/better I can find?

I have a coupon for the Falsies mascara, glad to hear good news on it! I'm going to try it out!
I basically am in love with Bare Minerals, I've been using their foundation for 4 years now and I love it! They came out with a new shade in "Fairly Medium" and because I get the matte, it literally is my skin color! Also if you check out QVC they ALWAYS have deals on make-up kits! I just ordered one yesterday. They have other make-up brands too like Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Smashbox, etc.
My favorite gel liner is Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof, it's amazing!!
ALSO! I found a new beauty guru on youtube that I love, she's my all time favorite! Her looks are sooo cool! Her youtube name is: "xsparkage" you guys should all go check her out http://www.youtube.com/user/xsparkage
I'll weigh in on this tooo! I've missed this thread
MY current favorites!
Foundation: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (not a full coverage by any means, but it's perfect for dry skin that just needs a little evening out... Kind of expensive, but so worth it! It makes my skin feel amazingly soft!)
Concealer: MAC Studio Sculpt concealer
Mascara: CoverGirl LashBlast (a must have for anyone on a budget imo!)
Eyeliner: Have to agree with Hannah on this, I loveeeee fluidlines. Blacktrack is a basic must have.
Shadow: Also agreeing with Hannah! MAC shadows are the best. I wear All That Glitters almost everyday! Lately, my favorite shadow has been Sketch, A plummy color that goes on more neutral than purple. Also for starters, I recommend the Too Faced eyeshadow kits... They come with 9 shadows, 3 full sized and 6 which are about half the size. I use my Too faced Neutral Eye kit almost everyday! They come with alot of different finishes and even little cards that show you how to apply them if you are really new to makeup
Lip Product: I've been using my EOS Lip Balm everyday. Super hydrating, tastes great and fun to use! Gloss: Any MAC Dazzleglass, so pretty but a little sticky. I don't mind it though. Lipstick: Urban Decay Naked is a perfect neutral pink and MAC Sweetie is a lovely brighter pink if you want a little color.
Bronzer: MAC Sunny By Nature MSF. (Or any Mineralize SkinFinish for that matter, I've had mine for over a year and i still haven't come close to hitting the pan... these last FOREVERRR)
