Just wondering...

If you look in your make-up bags/boxes/suitcases(!) is there a particular brand that you seem to favour? Â*I have noticed that my prefrences are getting more and more higgledy piggledy. Â*I used to love and mainly buy Rimmel, but now my collection is a mish mash of Avon, Clinique, Chanel, Boots (all make-up ranges), Revlon, Maybelline... There is no pattern or order anymore. Â*Is this other people's experience with their make-up brands or is there a prefrence? Has anyone found that mixing ranges causes an adverse reaction? Or any products from different ranges that particularly compliment each other?

Just wondering... Â*[smiley=smiley.gif]

I am all over the place with makeup brands. I love Nars eyeshadows but not mad about the foundation so go elsewhere for that.

I have a real mix of brands,mainly Nars,Stila,Smashbox and Mac. But then I have Avon eyeshadows as well.

The sa's who sell want you to stick to their brand,but there is nothing wrong with shopping around.
