I love MAC makeup brand, but its just too expensive for me. I usually wear 2-4 colors at once, so I can't really afford MAC. I like how shimmery they are and how long they last and how easy they are to blend. Is there anything out there comparable?

Have you tried Barry M? Or even Urban Decay?

I've never heard of Barry M... and I've tried Urban Decay and love it, but I can't a place around here that sells it...

Actually I'm not sure if anyone sells Barry M where you live, it's very popular here in the UK. Along with another brand called GOSH Gosh Cosmetics (http://www.goshcosmetics.com/)
They are very similar to MAC. I've used a few of their eyeliners and dusts, very MAC-like.

Those are beautiful. But it's still $16 for eyeshadow. I'm thinking drug store prices...

I've just recently bought a 120 eye colour palette off the internet. It's quite pigmented. Not as good as MAC or Barry M though. But to make it last, use a damp brush.

I really like the thought of the huge color pallettes. But the shadows are usually either matte or just poor quality. That link doesn't work. I just wish that I could find one in a good quality, with some shimmer, and cheap. Ah, what a perfect world it would be indeed!

Have you ever tried elf products? Go to eyeslipsface.com. Everything is inexpensive. I like the lip balm and gloss. I wouldn't recommend the mineral foundation though. It's just like regular foundation.
