A Collection of What We Use and What We Like

So I had this idea when I realized that you couldn’t look up other user’s profiles to see what they like and what they use… even though I want to know because someone’s either tried a lot of things, has a similar skin tone/type to mine, or even has similar shaped eyes!

What I was thinking was that since the we can’t check profiles, could we list what we DO love to use? Something like this:

ABOUT ME
Mid 20’s Chinese lady with black hair and dark, small, almond-shaped eyes. Combination to oily skin and my MAC skin shade is NW35. I would post a photo but I don’t have a nice camera so the best I can do is:

MY BUDGET
Price-controlled, affordable products that are good value for money. When I DO buy a high-end product it’s usually because I wanted to splurge or because it is the only product I have found that does a good job.

WHAT I LOVE TO USE
Primer
– Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Face Protector

Concealer – Face
– MAC Pro Longwear SPF 10 Concealer in NW35

Concealer – Under-eye
– None! I’m currently using Body Shop Lightening Touch but it’s not working well for me, so I am in the market for something new!

Foundation
– Revlon Colorstay in True Beige
– Nude by Nature Mineral Cover in Medium

Contour
– MAC Bronzing Powder in Bronze

Blush/Bronzers
– Rimmel London Blush in Pink Rose

Eye Primer
– Clinique Touch Base for Eyes in Canvas

Eyeshadow
– NYX Eyeshadow 10-Colour Palettes

Eyeliner
– Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner
– Bourjois Kohl Contour Pencil Eyeliner

Mascara
– L’Oreal Lash Architect False Lash Effect Mascara

Setting Powders/Sprays
– MAC Fix+ Spray
– Nude by Nature Mineral Finishing Veil

Lips
– NYX Round Lipsticks

Tools
– Ecotools 6-piece Brush and Eye Brush Sets
– Nude by Nature Application Brush
– Manicare Precision Blending Sponge
– Manicare Powder Puffs
– Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

I was going to add a section for what we’re looking for or curious about but I guess that’s what the rest of the forum is for. 🙂

Naturally this will change a lot for people all the time, especially now that the seasons are changing, but maybe we could give it a try? I’m just really curious to see what people are LOVING to use right now!

    I have been trying to find the pro longwear concealer EVERYWHERE!?!?! Could you help me out? I was wondering whether they stock it at places like David Jones and Myer or do I have to go a MAC pro store to pick it up. Also, how much is it?
    Thanks.
