What are some good eye shadow and lipstick/ gloss brands that are good and not very expensive?

I love mac cosmetics, especially their eye shadows, but I'm a college student and I really need to invest wisely. So I was wondering what are some good cosmetics that have as much color and variety as mac does and aren't quite so costly. What are some good eye shadow and lipstick/ gloss brands that are good and not very expensive?
hey I know that the ones that just stand alone from MAC Cosmetics run around 15.00 dollars a piece. I know Mary Kay runs about 6.50 a shade depending and they have this new thing called the compact pro which includes most of your cosmetics needs. you can check it out on my website as well as anything else. I hope I helped some.





I know many people associate Mary kay with the older generation but I guess I'm what you consider an artsy person. I lover photography and any type of art you through my way especially when it comes to makeup so I have to have fun with it.. and you can still do that with mary kay...so no worries there.What are some good eye shadow and lipstick/ gloss brands that are good and not very expensive?
A very good eyeshadow brand I know is NYX - their shadows last a long time, color looks great, and they have as much color selection as most department store brands. [$3-4 for single shadows, $3 for cream eyeshadow pencil, and $6 for a trio]


For lipstick, I like Maybelline's MoistureExtreme Lipstick - It actually is moisturizing and smells like watermelon [not a strong smell either, more like a light, delicate scent]. ($6-7 depending on where you get it)


As for lip gloss, I love LOVE Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip glosses, they're very sheer, super shiny, and lasts the whole day. The only downside is that they are a bit sticky than I like lip gloss to be. If that doesn't cut it, CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers is great too, but it's more watery and does not last as long.
Revlon, Cover Girl, and L'Oreal are really good staples. Also, if you're looking for other less expensive cosmetics, check out Drugstore Diva--you can get the brand name looks on the cheap.

What kind of lip gloss, eye shadows, liners, blush should i use if i have brown hair and kinda darkish blue ey?

What colors and brands and also what clothes will bring out my eyesWhat kind of lip gloss, eye shadows, liners, blush should i use if i have brown hair and kinda darkish blue ey?
For a blue eye, it is good to get a dark brown eyeliner. It really compliments the eye and makes the color pop. For shadow, a dark brown is good for the beginning of the lid, and as you go up, contrast into a lighter tan color. This gives a smokey look that is specifically good for the winter time. For lips, a very light red makes any highlights in the hair stick out. Using a lipGLOSS intead of lipstick makes lips looks shiny and nice. Lipstick makes them look and feel chapped. For blush, a light color is acceptable. Make sure that you don't use a dark red...it makes you look overdone and played up. Gray clothing also plays the color of your eyes and makes them really pop. The best choice is a neutral color like a light pink. i hope i helped you!

Anyone know of a good eye gloss (if it exists) or just a real shiny eye shadow?

I just want a shiny eye lid look... I remember seeing Cameron Diaz on Jay Leno with really shiny eye shadow and looks soo hot!Anyone know of a good eye gloss (if it exists) or just a real shiny eye shadow?
Revlon has a gloss eyeshadow that works well. Most likely you would want a white, cream or gold color.Anyone know of a good eye gloss (if it exists) or just a real shiny eye shadow?
MAC eye shadows are really great but really expensive, they support the AIDS foundation too so while you're spending your money you are also making a donation; for a cheeper alternative check out Liquid Metal Eyes...





Theres also rimmel metallic stars roller eyeshadow that has mixed reviews ( I like it) Make sure you're using a good colour for your own eye colour; it will make a difference.. also the application process can make the glimmer more or less.
I never have good luck with the glossy eye shadows. They always clump up in the creases of my eye. I rub a little bit of cover up on my eyelid to make the shadow stick and just use metallic or shimmery shades.
Try MAC's paints, base light. It looks great by itself or try with eye shadow over it and you can get some awesome looks!!!!





Also try their liquid eye liners. (waterproof) They are shimmery, bright and will really make your eyes POP!
ok think they do make it but if u saw it in a magazine it might say somewhere ''get there look'' if not i think lorel might make it ! so go to lorel.com am not sure if thats the way u spell it!
';eyebrightener'; by physician's formula (available at target, walmart, etc.) :

Have fun!
Try crystal avalanche by MAC.

Victoria's Secret has some really cute shiny sparkly eye shadow.It comes in bottles that look like nail polish.It's called Beauty Rush Lumnous Eyeshadow.
BUy mettalic or glitter eye shadow.
get frosty pink or baby blue eye cream from MAC. u'll love it. Chalize Therone uses golden-peach from the same line

What is an eye gloss pen and how do you use it?

I got a vanilla shimmer Color Twist eye gloss pen by Avon at a sale of a rep going out of business, thinking it was lip gloss. It comes in a plastic ';pen'; which you twist the bottom of to release cream colored liquid through a felt tip. How do I use it?


(Avon has discontinued the product, so I can't get any information)What is an eye gloss pen and how do you use it?
you kind of glide it over your eyelids where you would normally put eyeshadow or eyeliner.

Maybe you mean Eye Glimmer..its kinda shiny, and sometimes wet!
vaseline
I was reading Seventeen magazine once and here is a cheap but glamorous way to get that same look. Take some shear sparkly lip gloss and stroke the lipgloss maybe once or twice on your eyes, and whala! You can use different colors, just not fancy permanent type stuff and you'll want a really wet kindof lip gloss. I got a million compliments on it when I did it! It was like some sort of thing a celebrity did. =D

Where can I buy waterproof tape for a Polynesian Pool (low hung beaded liner)?

When I bought my home, I became the owner of a ';Polynesian'; brand pool. I am now replacing the liner (low hung, beaded) and am having an impossible time finding the white waterproof tape that I need to install over the beaded track to prevent water leakage.





If anyone has any idea where I might find this tape I would be SO appreciative!!!





The place that originally installed the pool wants over $200 for a roll of the tape. Other local pool stores agree that the price is ridiculous but they also don't know where to get it for less. Web searches have turned up nothing.





Thanks!Where can I buy waterproof tape for a Polynesian Pool (low hung beaded liner)?
