The Top Ten

1Artistry
Artistry is the best product I ever used. With the Essentials you are best care and the Time Defiance serie for Ladys who want looks beautiful. and the crown of all of Artistry is: Creme LUXURY. it let feel the skin 15 years younger.
My mom even uses it (she has sold another brand for 15 ) I also have very sensitive skin and its the only thing that doesn't make me itch
BEST PRODUCTS SPECIALLY TIME DEFINE RANGE AND CLEANSERS TONERS AND MOISTRISIZERS

2MAC Cosmetics
I am a licensed esthetician and make-up artist for M.A.C. and have worked with many dermalogical brands as well as beauty brands. I promise that M.A.C. is a brand that is trust worthy. All the products are dermatologist tested as well as tested back stage before sold (to make sure they really work) and are non-comodenic (don't have ingredients that are not linked to breakouts). As far as the price when compared to other department store brands M.A.C. is actually the least expensive along with Clinique so don't get discouraged when you hear that its pricey. What can get expensive are some of the professional tools but they are totally worth it. And everyone should know that M.A.C. "gives back" by donating millions of dollars every year to people affected with HIV and AIDS as well as recycling to build playground equipment; plus M.A.C. is 100 percent cruelty free and is made for all skin types and shades. This is a great brand and in every aspect, but remember, every one is different so try it before you knock it and whatever you choose to use; as like as you love it, it's the best product for you! =)
I luv mac, its wonderful, they have a wide range of colors in foundation, matches my complexion extremely well.
All races all sexes all ages! MAC is made for the professionals and for the people who love it. MAC has the best pigmentation especially for media purposes, which that's why it was first created. MAC also is the top choice of make up used by New York Fashion Week every year. Everyone knows MAC is the best!

4Mary Kay
Mary Kay is amazing. It makes your skin soft and smooth. The skin care is second to none. The prices are amazing. They have great customer service, 100 percent money back guarantee, try before you buy AND by having a party with your friends to get makeovers you can earn FREE product. The consultants offer free gifts with purchase and they deliver to you. What more do you need? Oh and the Mary Kay Charitable Foundation gives millions to help end domestic violence against women and children and also gives to cancer reasearch to help find cures for cancers affecting women. Find a consultant today and be amazed. Thank you Mary Kay!
Mary Kay is the BEST makeup ever... From their skin care (which is awesome) to their makeup line. You cannot beat their 100% satisfaction guarantee and try before you buy. It is a great career opportunity, also... One of very few if not the only company to not compete with its sales consultants. Love, Love, Love it and after 3 years of using the products, I decided to join them as an Independent Sales Consultant and have never been happier. It is a company that is progressive, does not use animals to test and is based on the philosophy: Faith first, Family second, and Career Third.
The Miracle set is A real miracle< the foudation is MAgic, I call it products with intergrity>

6Skinfood

7Guinot Institut Paris
I have used many of their products and I am always amazed by the great effect they have on my skin (face and body). My skin is very sensitive and I haven't found other brand that works as good as Guinot.

8FM Group Cosmetics

Very good cosmetic products. Very good smell and quality of perfumes. SIMPLY THE BEST...

9Oriflame
I love the products, I use only Oriflame for the last 3 years and all works great for me. Every month they have new products and special offers. None of these products have been tested on animals and they are the first company in the world which started with 100% natural products. But the most important is that they also have earning opportunities for everyone who need extra money or you can even build your own business.
Me and my family we are using Oriflame products for past 13 years. Even if I can afford much more expensive cosmetics I have biggest trust in Oriflame products. First reason is because they are based on natural ingredients, second reason the results from using them are great. Third reason- I love their packages. Such a great quality. It's true what most of people say, once you try Oriflame products you fall in love and stay with them. I totally agree and recommend. Worth to try them at least. The best thing is that even if you would try them them for few days and use a little bit you could still return if you wouldn't like them and receive full money back!
I love the oriflame products. I m going to start my beauty salon and I want to use oriflame products in my salon

12Avon
Its really very good, as I'm using avon products from few weeks back. It's awesome.
Avon has good quality make up for a reasonable price. If fits from Avon I never doubt the product. And they also have, I don't what its called, but like a booklet of all the things they have, new and old stuff so all you have to do is find a representative and order it from them so you don't need to go to actual Avon store to get their products. and you become a Avon rep. and make some extra money if you need it.
color cosmetics and be used by all races.

13Revlon
I absolutely LOVE revlon! The packaging is appealing, shade variety is wonderful and everything I have tried is of great pigmentation. My favourite things are their lip products!
Revlon is great for starting out or if you have a tight budget. You can buy revlon at ulta and most drugstores, but I love it from target. Great shades and formulas and revlon continues to amaze me!
I love all its products.. there are wide range to select from and also safe..

14Clinique
When I was 11, I got my first zit. My mom rushed me over to the Clinique counter at Macy's and bought me my very first Type 3 (3 step). I'm 26 now, never suffered from another blemish in my life. My skin is radiant from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep. I love my skin. It's my best feature.
Clinique really caters to all skin, both young and mature. It's great because it has such a broad range of skin care products and make up for all skin types and concerns. Recently tried even better clinical for dark spots... amazing results. Worth every penny!
I am nearly 30 years old and a devoted customer. I get complements on my skin on a regular basis and I give all the credit to Clinique!

15LR

German quality and certified products. You can practically eat the Aloe Vera products.

The best Mlm in the world! I love this company!

16Chanel
I have very sensitive skin and never had any problems with any product by Chanel. I use Lipsticks and glosses, a puder foudationa and a liquid foudation. Never dried out my skin, never led to a rash.
The quality of makeup is excellent. It feels light on skin. It doesn't smudge. Most of the makeup is water resistant. It also makes your skin glow.
best products ever, so natural eye colors

18BeautiControl
I have never used a eye liner that goes on so smooth, never a lip stick that stayed on so well for hours and without a bad taste! Because spa for your face out beats anything.. BC all the way.. Great quality, awesome results, gotta love the price..
All the anti-aging products from Mary Kay, Avon, Arbonne, Estee Lauder, etc have been thrown out. BeautiControl just has an instant gratification and with continued use, shows major signs of improvement. My crows feet and the number 11's (between the eyes) were significantly and noticeably decreased within 4 weeks. I have been using the treatments for almost 4 months now and the fine lines are GONE! I'm a 38 year old just-quit-smoker and life-time sun bather of AZ, so that is just unbelievable to me. I will never stop using this stuff... EVER!
I love all their products and it is one of the best companies to work for. I have never been happier

Not only does urban decay keep up in the color department with makeup forever and mac... it exceeds them by making products that are parabin free and vegan! The packaging is suuuper cute and the products are high quality(and not more $ than previously mentioned company's hense U ACTUALLY GET WHAT U PAY FOR!) I'm a total ud freak and for GOOD REASON. My grandmother is actually the one who introduced me to their product. Its amazing that they really do have something for everyone!
So super sparkly... fabulous colors!
Urban Decay is AMAZING. They do not test on animals at all and have a wonderful range of fashionable products.

23Merle Norman
I use the miracle mask and booster and it is great for acne prone skin. It heals blemishes very fast. You mask every other night for 30 minutes and mix the booster with the mask once a week. The mask is also a excellent exfoliator for people with acne scars. The best thing is that the mask is only $17.00 and the booster is only $12.50. You can determine whether you want the booster with the mask or if you just want to buy the mask alone, but I would buy both to get the best results.
Merle Norman skin care and makeup is amazing, women who have been wearing this their whole lives havent aged at all!! its fantastic for teens and all!!!
I'VE BEEN A MERLE GIRL FOR OVER 50 YEARS, WOULDN'T USE ANYTHING ELSE. MERLE NORMAN IS MADE IN THE U.S.A. AND WE DO NO ANIMAL TESTING. THE SKINCARE IS FANTASTIC.

26Arbonne
I just started using Arbonne's products about four months ago and I am in love! I love that they are free of harmful things and my skin feels and looks amazing! Arbonne's products have also taken care of some skin care problems I was experiencing. The make up is so beautiful and the essentials are wonderful! For the first time ever my immune system is boosted I've successfully stayed well with my busy schedule. Also the price is definitely comparable. You get what you pay for.
Arbonne has truly changed my life, I am so greatfull that it doesn't have any animal biproducts. I am glad that the test to 100% good reaction level unlike every other non ultra premium company. My son's hair has never looked better with their shampoo, my husbands face doesn't break out any more after shaving with their shave cream and after shave and my hands have never been softer then with their hand lotion. And no bat poop in their mascara unlike every brand above.
Tried then all. Arbonne is the best by far. No breakouts, creamier more supple complexion. All the other products they have make you more healthy and beautiful from the inside out. Best on the market in my opinion

The price is great too. This company gives you the best product, comp plan and reason to buy.

35BH Cosmetics
Cheap when on great discounts and product looks worth more, packaged great at least mine where but no gifts,! Edition is great for very bold and colorful looks vivid and playful if you like making a statement its great I love it and Shany cosmetics. Great palettes but the base is so important for all these color look for N.Y. X cosmetics that base and the jumbo white pencil in white buy and apply them let it dry and dab on those great colors. Enjoy those secrets for those that don't know a must have.
It's great, affordable, and comes of easily I just wish I owned all their products cause it really is amazing, fabulous, fantastic. I do not own any of their products but I have tested and watched videos on this product and it really is a great product
Bh cosmetics is awesome. The product stays on longer than 24 hours and when you try to clean it off it's so easy the it feels like the eyeliner never dried out the product is outstanding And the eyeshadow is so beautiful to wear you won't want to take it off

I can't wait to slim down my make-up kit and start using mostly Physicians Formula products again-this time hopefully for life! One suggestion to the design team/artists @ P.F. would be to develop a loose bronzing powder? Forgive me if I didn't see this in your line-up if it exists already. Also, any of your powder brush containers that are refillable/all-in-one and very sleek & portable are greatly appreciated. Excellent job P.F. staff-you rock!
