If I wanted stinky lipstick I could just buy Revlon, it smells as bad as Estee Lauder's. The cheap makeup I like is Cover Girl mascara (the purple one), it's as good as the department store stuff, and the NYC blush. NYC is CHEAP. A lot of my department store stuff is over a decade old, and I'm not dead yet. I have Chanel eyeshadow from my wedding 12 years ago, still use it.

eh, I don't DO lipsticks much. sometimes a little gloss -mostly Burt's Bees chapsticks! My favorite cheap makeup is the Voluminous (Loreal) mascara. LOVE it!

That really is the best drugstore mascara, hands down.

I'm gonna try it!

ETA: Bummer, I looked online, I don't see just "Brown", only "Black Brown", I'm a redhead and that's too dark.

It's super awesome. I've used that shit for literally 20 years and love it!

You could try the Volume Million Lashes also by L'Oreal - it's amazing and they do that one in brown. I love it. Best mascara I've used in a long time.

I really like that mascara in brown/black. Also Nyx Propel My Eyes and their lash serum. Yes, it's cheap. I'm probably hallucinating but the serum actually works. For the rest, Bobby Brown so I guess I still contribute to EL's bottom line. I'm not a huge make-up user, I simply don't have the face for it.

It is just a way of getting to your people.
However, for most of us (the one that actually buy their brand) it is not as relevant.

Revlon makes some of the best lip products on the market. The Super Lustrous lipstick line used to be perfumed but it has been fragrance and taste free for about a decade now. The Colorburst line is also amazing. I find that higher end lines tend to do lipglosses, foundations and eye shadows better but drugstore lipstick is just as good - except for L'oreal (owned by Lancôme) which is still fragranced and makes me gag.

The Jenner girl is pretty but is hardly what I think of as the face of anything, though I can't be sure if my revulsion is more towards her famewhore family.
