I used my black liner on my kids face for Halloween  (just an excuse to get a new one not MK I am sure !) This is going to be my first non-mk purchase in 2 yrs! HELP! The Lancome girl came to my office yesterday and I about fell in the floor when she told me how much!!!! I know they are high end, but does anyone know something from walmart or just under $10 that works? Oh lancome is about $22 or $23 can't remember exact amount from heart failure! Their liquid is $26! I'm poor! need something cheap and good, I wear very dramatic eye makeup! TIP! I am going to try there mascara, it is $19, but she said it has been rated #1 I think in the world but like I said I was suffering from heart failure from the other prices! Love |

Maybeline has a liner that does not run.......can't remember the exact name of it, but I was a faithful user prior to MK, and the cost is around $6. Applies smoothly, and does not run!!! I'll see if I can remember what it was called an let you know. Mascara is a whole other ballgame..........I was in the drugstore yesterday and had no idea there were so many to choose from!!! I finally just gave up and came home to my old faithful--THE ULTIMATE BY MK.
Another idea for liner---Beauty Biss has matte shadows that can double as liners--mix with a littel water til pasty and apply with a liner brush--VERY LONG WEARING and the look is incredible!!! samples are only $1.25, and a whole container only $5--definitely worth a try!

I have oily skin. So this is my experience. A long time ago, before MK, my favorite eyeliner was a Maybelline felt tip pen. MK and other eyeliners didn't/don't stay on because of my oily skin. So in the early days of MK I still used the Maybelline, until someone wanted to buy the "exact same color." Soon after Maybelline discontinued it. I just found out that L'Oreal (owns Maybellene) has reintroduced this eyeliner under the name Lineur Intense Felt Tip. I actually bought one yesterday. But I overslept this morning and skipped the eyeliner (oh the horrors  ). I'll let you know tomorrow how I like it. I also bought a mascara by Cover Girl. It said it wouldn't clump. It's got an odd brush. It's ok, nothing special. I would buy it again, but I'll probably try something different next time. But for $6.44 it was a good deal. I highly recommend the books by Paula Begoun and her website, http://www.cosmeticscop.com/ I'm not affiliated, just recently started reading the books and they have really opened my eyes. |

Thanks ladies! I am going to the drug store here in a little while I am going to check it out. I am funny about Mascara , I have to have a good one or it looks like crap on my long lashes. The endless was good, I make a mess with the ultimate and the lash lengthing isn't enough, it is something I HAVE to splurge on Maybeline used to make a mascara called Lash by Lash and it was perfect! So of course the stopped making it or I can't find it anywhere. I am planning on ordering some samples after I run out of some more MK. (can't be soon enough) |

It is recommended again and again by the artists -- supposed to be easy to apply and no clumps... And it is CHEAP!! My ultimate is almost gone, and I will be getting some of this soon! |

After living with a bedroom ("office") full of MK, it is intimidating to go makeup shopping. Wish we all lived near one another and we could have shopping day. |

 Isn't it sad how MK has taken some perfectly good women and made them less secure in themselves than before they started. Before MK, I chose my makeup by the cost alone. I had no favorites nor was I faithful to any.  , it appears I am STILL rethinking my involvement in MK. ???

How funny, that's the one I was loyal to for, sheesh, I don't know - 18 years before trying the MK Ultimate. It doesn't burn your eyes, if you apply it carefully, it doesn't clump and you can put on a couple of coats without it looking funky. All the other mascaras I've tried burn my eyes or melt or flake off. Guess I'll go back to good old Great Lash. |
