Anyone like Covergirl?, antm promotes it. Options

Either my mom is wack, but she thinks Covergirl is too cheap and less effective. I don't know why ANTM would want to advertise something like this? Correct me if I'm wrong.

OH i'm using someone's font. hehe :) begins with a "m"

I swatched some Chanel shadows in the store the other day AND THEY f**kING SUCK. It's like, yeah, here's 2% pigment and 98% f**kING GLITTER.

Although it's drugstore makeup, it's not bad. CoverGirl has gotten substantially better ever since Pat McGrath, god of makeup artists, has stepped in as Creative Design Director (which is why those new brightly colored shadows are HOT! And exponentially better than those shit glitter Chanel shadows). But even before then, it wasn't bad. CG LashBlast mascara is way up there, arguably better than MAC's Plushlash and even Dior's Diorshow. I have also heard that the teeth whitening (Crest?) lipglosses that CG has are awesome.

To me, drugstore makeup goes CoverGirl > Revlon > Maybelline >>>> Rimmel. I hate Rimmel. Their eyeshadows smell like stale crayons.

It all depends on the products you're using. In general I like my eyeshadows to be from more expensive brands (after all you do pay more for pigment and better colour-payoff), foundation, concealer, eyeliner, lipstick, blush...all expensive. I'll cheap out on the lipgloss and mascara, and even eyeshadow if it's good quality. It's never a good idea to assume that cheap = bad.

Clinique is a so-so for me in terms of make-up because the colour payoff is absolutely shitty at times. Not like glitter shitty like Chanel, but just very, very sheer. Too sheer. You can't get that shit to show up. I do loooooove Clinique powder foundation formulas and eyeliner though. I use Clinique skincare sparingly because of the shocking ingredients in their toner, aka acid.
