1. I buy my eyeliners/foundations/mascara at Shoppers Drug Mart (Canadian drug store), but I buy -all- of my eyeshadows from indie companies online
2. I find quality to be hit and miss. The -reason- I stopped buying eyeshadow from stores is because it's a hell of a lot more expensive most of the time and half the time the quality is sub-par. I hate eyeshadows with low pigment amounts. I like my colour to POP
3. I never ever buy palettes. I buy all my eyeshadows individually so I'm not stuck with colours I wont use. Plus..and maybe its just me..but more often than not I've found the quality of at least some palettes to be lower than paying a little more and buying individually.
4.I've bought falsies here and there, but havnt found a brand I like over others yet. I love the way falsies look but I lose them too often somehow when I take them off haha
5.
I don't have any fav 'mainstream' (or whatever) brands, but here are some of my favorite indie shops online
Lumikki Cosmetics- ( on etsy dot com)
GeekChic Cosmetics-
Fyrinnae -
(apparently I'm not allowed to link you to them though as I dont have 10 posts yet, sorry! )
there are many more reputable mineral makeup sellers online that *usually* have quite decent prices.
Etsy is also a great place to search for indie makeup
6. I've seen these tatto things but never tried them. I'd rather have the control myself over what goes where on my face haha. I'd be afraid of applying them crooked or something.
7.I dont think I've ever been to a makeup counter actually haha :x
8. I've never specifically seen lip conditioner for sale myself but I havnt gone looking for it either so I'm not sure. Searching on etsy does find some though if you're up for buying online
9. I use both a pencil and liquid eyeliner actually. I use the pencil first to help fade out and bumpy edges of the liquid liner which i use afterward to make things pop a bit more.
for eyeshadow I -never- buy pressed. I always buy loose shadows. I find them to go on smoother, last longer, and appear brighter than pressed when applied
10.oh my goodness that is a lot of mascara xD. I mean..would one even be able to USE all of that before you're to toss it? ( I mean you're not meant to keep makeup for years and years). You'd have to CAKE your eyelashes multiple times a day to get through all that haha
