and why. I want some answers as to WHY you choose the company.
For me: AVON. I think they are the leaders of anti aging. covergirl foundations were just too heavy for me. I love their handcreams, bath and body. I just feel they are superior...esp with their oils!

I use MAC, I know it's expensive but I really like the quality. I just bought my daughter an eye liner from Avon and she love's it. It's the gel form and you apply it with a brush. We also buy the Cover girl, Revlon and Maybelline, but for special occasion's it's got to be MAC

The department store products are made by the big companies anyway - or sometimes vice versa! (Yes the cheapies own the expensive lines sometimes) Here are a few links to look at. Interesting!

I use different products from different companies. I love CoverGirl foundations - the new Radiance Foundation with Olay is a really good match for me. My going out foundation was Estée Lauder, but it doesn't compare to CG.
For eyeshadows, I do like Estée Lauder, but they are pricey. I discovered Mocah Cosmetics at some Target department stores in Melbourne. The colours are highly pigmented and the prices are CHEAP for a large size product,
For lipsticks - I love the effect of the Rimmel Volumising lipsticks. They don't wear so well though. But at the moment it's my favourite :)
Mascaras - I have tried several of the high end ones and they are no better than Maybelline, Cover Girl or any of the lower end cheapie ones.
I do like Avon products but I hate that I have to wait to get them delievred. So I tend not to buy too many - though their hand creams are great.

I like Avon too and i can remember when my mother used to have the Avon lady come to our house back when I was a child, so I grew up on many Avon products. I like that the products are often on sale and that I know the quality

The only make up that I wear is lipstick, and occassionally mascara. Both are covergirl. The prices are reasonable, and it doesn't have a strong fragrence. I don't care for that.
As far as lotions, Aveena for me. I have very sensitive skin, and the product is mostly natural.

I like Avon because it's cheap yet of high quality. The earning opportunity that they provide to everyone is the best. But I don't usually use Avon Cosmetics because I am allergic to some. And as for the anti-aging creams, I am still young, I am 20 so I guess I don't need that as of now. I like their bath cream especially the white one, with licorice.

You are young, but you should start using anti aging around 25. I sell mineral girlz now which is better for your skin. Avon is known for their anti aging and heads up the cosmetic industry . Let me know if you'd want more info on mineral makeup.

I've been using MAC Cosmetics for almost 5 years now, I guess I just got used to it..it doesn't hurt or dry my lips and the eye liners doesnt hurt my eyes either...colors are nicer too, so i guess that's the only reason why I got hooked on MAC

I LOVE make-up but had sensitive skin, so I have to stick more with minerals, but love revlon(pay for using it afterwards) I just think it puts off a better color pallete. JMO
