After my beloved L'Oreal FeatherLash was discontinued, I went on a months-long mascara search.
Stiletto Lash? Brush is too scratchy, didn't pump 'em up enough. LashBlast? Meh. DiorShow gives an excellent end result, but is tricky to work with, and a little pricey. I used Voluminous for a while, but hit the jackpot with MAC PlushLash, which I call "PornoLash." Two coats, and I swear if I bat my lashes fast enough a monsoon starts somewhere on the other side of the globe.
MAC's lipsticks are also terrific, long-wearing without drying out. Their selection of pinks is disappointing, though.
For basic brow/eye pencils, though, you can't beat drugstore brands. I buy Cover Girl's Perfect Point Plus two and three at a time.
