Low end - Lipfinity has to be worth a try just for its staying power but
textures and color leave much to be desired. Revlon is an almost - the
cream quad really isn't a Chanel Aqualumiere palette. Skinlights maybe fine
if you are tres young. Saw L'Oreal innocence tonight.... and bought nothing
(but then I had previously bought 3 new Chanel Glossimers, Bamboo shadow and
the "right" lip liner for the new Glossimers). The pastelness of Innocence
just to me is old and I really prefer the Dior Pearle set. The L'Oreal tube
glosses are nice - last summer's Lancome ones. But the colors are indeed
last summers. I was very disappointed in the L'Oreal tube blush. rjudith
However, my favorite single item has to be Chanel's Aqualumiere, although I
disliked the rest of their story.
Low End - Cover Girl's Mod Colors - very bright and bold eye pencils, with
sheer pastel shadows, glosses and blushes. Lava glosses were so clever!
Yummy candy colors - a little young for me, but a lot of fun.

High-End: Haven't checked out the new stuff yet. Went out once just to look
but the counters were too crowded.
Low-End:
L'Oreal Innocence line: No drama here (not an "rjudith color" in the bunch),
but I love this soft and subtle stuff. Got both shadow duos, Sugar and Spice
(the brown in this is great but the beige could be a tad less warm) and Cherry
Blossoms (the light pink makes a great highlighter....softer than winter
white). Also the Blush blush duo is nice, I never go heavy on blusher and find
this color/highlighter combo is just right. In the lipsticks I got Full Bloom,
first day worn it got 4 compliments with 3 of the four wanting to know what it
was so they could get it too. Passed on the Airwear foundation, too
thick/heavy.
Revlon Skinlights: Skinlights Lotion in Natural is perfect for no-foundation
days. Also like the pink cheek gleamer. Their powder was too glittery, I'll
stick with Px Magic. Didn't try the lip palettes because they *are* palettes.
Oil of Olay: The tinted moisturizer is just being re-released in the U.S.
UVA/UVB SPF 15 and fragrance-free. I'm liking this for no-foundation days when
I don't want the opalescent shimmer of Skinlights.
Max Factor: One word: "Lipfinity"
