AM I the only one...

who isn’t rich enough to own everything MAC? :slight_smile:

seriously I"v been reading threads after threads of all you lucky women owning lots of MAC stuff! I feel a little deprived :slight_smile:

ETA: plz do not take the word “deprived” in this post too seriously :slight_smile: see some of the posts below n you’ll know what I mean

Re: AM I the only one…

Try Nyx, they do sooooo many colours and are highly pigmented, if u google the name there are loads of reviews about, imo they’re as good as MAC but at a fraction of the price, also Inglot, not as well-known or as inexpensive but v.similar to MAC in terms of products, choice of colours and even their packaging..

Some opinions on Inglot: Inglot Cosmetics - European/Polish brand - Specktra.Net

Re: AM I the only one...

I don't own anything in MAC! Seriously I first heard about MAC here in GS .. we don't get the brand here.

Re: AM I the only one...

I'm not ricn enough either, but quite frankly i'm quite satisfied with my drugstore brands and i don't really feel deprived.

Re: AM I the only one...

I'm rich enough but i dont have any MAC cosmetics :) So you are not the only one not using MAC !

Re: AM I the only one...

lolz...I don't know what is so great about MAC or some other particular name. I just pick up anything I like without paying much attention to the brand name.

Inglot has amazing eye-pigments! Some drug-store brands such as Bourjois, NYX are great.. however CoverGirl products I've never liked.

Re: AM I the only one...

I don't think it's about being rich. MAC eyeshadows and lipsticks are not that much more expensive than drugstore brands (unless you're going for the £2 stuff) and the quality is much, much better on the whole. Same goes for the brushes.

I spend my money wisely and don't buy lots of stuff just for the sake of owning that colour or whatever.

I agree :-)

Re: AM I the only one...

Drugstore make up is jus as pricey, I only own a eyeliner and blushes and some brushes of MAC that my bf got me for xmas.. :)

Re: AM I the only one...

I am rich enough but I don't give a damn bout MAC. Well I don't give a damn about any kind of make up but that is another story. Forget MAC, it is stupid. Don't ever feel bad about what you read in threads. Just pray for your kismet iA.

Re: AM I the only one...

i have like a mac foundation and two lipsticks thats it u know u can find dupes fr most of MAC products

Re: AM I the only one...

I go for whatever suits me. I love Bourjois lipsticks

Re: AM I the only one...

Bourjois is amazing i used to live my days in their pink lipstick... i wud apply it every 30 mins. i know im sad! But thats love!

Re: AM I the only one...

I love MAC and I think I love it because I have yet to have a bad experience with any of their products. Every single thing I have purchased from the MAC line has met or exceeded my expectations.

I have tried Inglot and I have to disagree that it is not comparable to MAC quality.

I do use drugstore brands for things like eye-liner and mascara......stuff that you only keep for a couple of months and then throw out.

Re: AM I the only one...

Im poor and I blame it all on MAC :(

Re: AM I the only one…

:hehe:

After reading Muzna’s post, I think i should buy atleast one Mac eye-shadow to see the difference.

Re: AM I the only one…

I own some MAC but I like other brands way better and they don’t return stuff easily and I don’t like that :snooty:

Thanks for the suggestions! Will check them out. I’m not sure they r available here though

U didn't think I actually feel deprived? Hehe. I'm happy with my not-so-expensive brands too. But I read so much MAC on GS in the past couple of days, I had started to believe everyone on here used nothing but that :)
