I love OCC and Hourglass! Love that they are vegan-friendly too. I haven't been impressed by what I've tried from Inglot.

Great new underground brands worth trying I must say. Hourglass has definitely gained popularity with their primers and are definitely worth a try.

I'm sold on the Jouer Luminizing moisture tint! Got it in a beauty sample kit, and it was perfect for my 50ish skin, which I love to pamper.

There's an Inglot store in Times Square. Everything there is pretty afforable, and the eyeshadow is very pigmented. You get a good amount of makeup for the price. A friend told me to try Jouer, but I think I should read the reviews first. :)

Jauer is fantastic if you don't have anything to hide on your face.

Hourglass products are better than average, but nothing to rave about. Koh Gen Do is amazing!
