Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but if you can find a Kiki store (there are a few in London and I think they're online too) they have a few really useful products and the quality seems really good to me. I would also say to wait for their sale as they have decent reductions about twice a year to make room for new products.
I can recommend the brow products and the eye shadow sticks and eyeliners. Not tried the foundations yet though.

I prefer the Avon matte lipsticks to mac matte lipsticks.

I used to wear mac velvet teddy all of the time but it dried out my lips. I found avon perfectly matte lipstick in shade marvelous mocha and it looks just the same except my lips don't dry out. It also says in for hours.

I also really the maybelline Fit Me! Foundation. I wear it for everyday use instead of my estee foundation as I feel it's too expensive to wear everyday.
