The Lipstick League Question of the Week
The makeup gods have granted you the power to put ONE brand on sale (a one-day-only 75% off sitewide sale + free shipping on all orders). Which brand do you choose?
G's answer: Oh I'm so conflicted! Do I choose a luxury cosmetics brand that I have yet to try (such as Charlotte Tilbury, Rouge Bunny Rouge, Armani, Marc Jacobs or Tom Ford)? Or a luxury brand that I've tried, but want to try more from (such as YSL, Chantecaille or Paul & Joe)? Or maybe pick a high/mid-level brand like LORAC, Urban Decay or MAC and get back-ups of my favorites and also try new things? OR, do I pick a drugstore brand like Milani or Jordana, and basically buy doubles of every single item on their websites? I don't know...I do not know. This is too much pressure! OK, well I hate it when people don't answer these types of questions, so I'm going to go ahead and say....MAC. That way, I could buy everything I've always wanted, and I'd be able to swatch like a madwoman and see for myself exactly how close all those popular drugstore dupes truly are (and then of course share that with you!).

Wow. That's tough! I would have to say Clinique. I love quite a few of their products but rarely ever purchase as my budget doesn't allow it. There are still things I have yet to try that I've heard great reviews on.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go with Tom Ford. That's the only way I could ever try the brand and boy do I want to!
ReplyDeleteI think IT Cosmetics
ReplyDeleteLipstick Queen. I have a couple of their products, thanks to a gift card, and I'd love to see them knocked down in price.
ReplyDeleteI would buy a high end foundation I swatched at Sephora (YSL) and really take it for a spin. Or get the Luna everyone raves about. I can't justify the coat bc I already have a Clairsonic
ReplyDeleteToday my answer would be Lorac. Tomorrow it might be something else!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely choose Lancome!
