I have the NYX Twin Cake, and it is the only product I have ever found to be too light for me! I have heard raves about the Round lipsticks, but I haven't tried them yet. I do love the NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Beige, which is a beautiful shade of rose. Not sure how it got the name Beige ...

There is a drugstore near my cottage that sells NYX so I always stock up in the summer.

Great lists everyone, keep 'em coming! I tried the Rimmel Primer duhsohardcore21 and it was a peachy disaster on my pale skin. I am interested to try the new Revlon one :)

Foundation: Revlon Colorstay in ivory (I think), when it cooperates :)
Concealer: Covergirl Tru Match in 1
Pressed Powder: Covergirl Advanced Radiance
Mineral: Physician's Formula is really good.
Mascara: I LOVE the Almay one coat thickening, it's my new favorite.
Lash Curler: Revlon's the only one I tried.
Eyeliner: Wet & Wild has really cheap/great liners.
Eyeshadow: Revlon cream eyeshadows.
Blush: Maybelline Mineral Power in True Peach
Lipstick: L'oreal colour juice stick! I never liked lipstick until I tried those. I have four of them
Lipgloss: Neutrogena's tinted lip balm I use as a gloss, and I love it. Also L'oreal's colour tubes (I think it is?) are pretty good.
Other: Essence of beauty brushes are actually pretty good for the price. I also like Covergirl Smoothers tinted moisturizer.

I'm kind of a drugstore whore. Tehe...

Aren't they awesome!!! I was always completely against lipstick until I tried these. They're sort of a lipstick/gloss cross. I have Pink Lemonade, Personal-a-tea, Chai Love You (my favorite) and Island Punch (my second favorite)
