good lord..I can go on and on about overated brands and products. the Mineral Makeups like Bare Escentuals. I found a Bare Escentutals in a mall years ago and loved their shower gel..this before the mineral makeup hype. It breaks me out and has bad coverage. Proactiv.Thats another one. Its soo harsh,I dont think any of the celebrities that are on the informercial use it. I have on Benefit thing the wash for acne...its horrible! Im sure theres alot more!

First off...*I* am an Avon lady, but from my personal experience,most of the Avon anti aging stuff I tried is greasy and does NOT flatten or fill out or in any way diminish fine lines nor the 2 lines above the nose (the lines Botox would *hopefully?* get rid of).

I have to agree with you about the Great Lash mascara thing. Yeah, I've used it and it's well, kinda like any other mascara out there. Their waterproof formula is pretty good. Wet n'Wild's got a pretty good mascara and Loreal,Revlon and Avon mascaras are worth looking at, too. I've read Allure for years and generally like their magazine but I don't understand where they get their information from when they formulate their best beauty products lists.

Okay, I'm probably going to create a few enemies here, but one product that I could never understand and was never fond of was long lasting lipcolor. Ya know, the that has a laquer-type paint that you brush on and let it dry and then top with either a liquid or stick gloss topcoat. Not only would it make my lips horribly dry and heavy (claustraphobic would best describe it) if I didn't constantly keep reapplying the top gloss (which does not stay on long at all in the first place) but the color itself would crack whenever I moved my mouth a certain way, or it would ball up on my lips (even when I was wearing the top coat) or it would start to flake off, proving to be a real nuisance. I never really liked the color of the stuff either, it always seemed rather dull and flat to me.

I love Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss in Candy Baby! It looks good and tastes great, too! I haven't had any problems with it and actually bought 3 tubes at the same time in case they discontinue it. I haven't tried any of their other beauty products, though.

There is an ingredient in BE that is called bismuthoxy...that makes anyone breakout and thus why we do not like BE. Best option and less expensive is Larenim mineral makeup, check it out! I do not work for Larenim nor BE; so, this is a true recomendation from a frustrated mineral makeup user.

For me it's going to be MAC, although I must admit that I do like a few of their products, but most of the time it doesn't live up to the hype, or at least to my expectations. The eyeshadows are my main beef, while the colors look great in the pan they rarely look as good when applied (at least on me) nor do they blend very well.

I totally agree with everyone's comments. La Mer is WAY to expensive and it's obvious that you are really just buying the name. I also wanted to add Sheer Cover. I ordered it from the shopping channel and it was a pain in the ass to use. I have gone back to good old Olay and found this new product called Mistura Beauty online to replace the Sheer Cover. It's supposed to work on everyone's skin tone and color and it's only one step. So far I love it.
