What's a beauty product you can't do without?

Re: QOTD Friday

  • Cover up! Unfortunately I inherited bags under the eyes. Regardless of how much sleep I get, they are there. If I am extremely over tired, I actually look like I have 2 black eyes.  I hate it!!!! I'm a cheap o so I don't use anything expensive, but it works and that is what matters.

  • The only thing I'm consistent about using is eyeliner.

  • I love nail polish! I have to have my toes painted. I feel naked without them painted.

    As for makeup. I'm going for sunscreen. I wear it everyday.

  • I need concealer too (MAC).  I have bad dark circles under my eyes all the time. 

    I also need mascara.  I have long and fairly thick lashes but they are super blonde and practically invisible without mascara.  I like YSL the best.

  • Err... like all of it?

    Probably blush. I always look more awake when I have blush on.

  • Umm, everything?  Haha.

    Probably Urban Decay Primer Potion.  That stuff is just amazing.  

    That, or mascara.  I need a new, good mascara.  My Sephora stuff is starting to smell funny, so I picked up some Maybeline Great Lash stuff, and bletch, it's just not the same.  I'm considering getting the mascara sampler kit from Sephora to try some new ones out!

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

  • I have three: 

    1.Mascara, Benefit, They're real!.

    2. I also use oil for my skin and hair everyday.  I use Josie Maran Argan oil and mix with my lotion and I use Mythic Oil from L'Oreal Proffesional for my hair.  It so dry in WY this time of year that my skin and hair just suck up the oil.

    3.I also am in love with my Anstania eyebrow kit. I have a scar on my eyebrow and this totally covers it up and makes my eyebrows fuller.  

     I started using Brichbox awhile back and I have been able to find some great products through them.

  • Aveeno Positively Ageless face moisturizer is what I need. But you know, I actually like the CVS knock-off better. It's SPF 30, so that's helpful. Other than that, I just wear Burt's Bees lip balm. I confess I know nothing about makeup.

    Hair-wise, I just discovered Nigelle ER conditioner thanks to my stylist. My hair was so dry--this seriously saved it.

  • How to decide? I guess the one thing that I never leave the house without is mascara. 
  • BadGal Lash mascara by Benefit. even if I wear no other makeup, I always have mascara on.

  • I feel so ungirly right now but I don't wear makeup, I dont lotion up my body every day. the only real splurge I have is I like the expensive shampoo, but I still get the dollar store eqivalent
  • I have to wear pressed power cover up every day. My skin tone is uneven and it just makes me feel so much better about how I look.

  • I love my MAC Face & Body Foundation, it's so light and makes me feel like I'm glowing. But I always pair that with MAC Mineralize powder and blush, those are the 3 makeup items I always wear when I go out.

  • Chica - I'm going to have to look into that hair stuff. I can't seem to get my luscious hair back, and it's bothering me. Right now I'm trying a leave-in conditioner from Ion. I love their other products, and it seems to be working pretty good. I finally got some heat protection spray, too.

    I generally put on deoderant every day and that's it. If I go out with the girls, I need mascara to complete my look. I also use a MAC shimmer primer on my lids to hide the brows that arent' kept up that great and to keep my makeup in place.

    Snoopy, I also use Moroccanoil Treatment before styling. It's helped with flyaway hairs and gives my hair some shine.

  • St. Ives apricot facial scrub. I've tried more expensive cleansers but none of them work the magic that the St. Ives does. It makes my face so smooth! Also Physician's Formula iridescent blush. I'm really pale so if I go without blush I can look sickly.

     I used to use that until one day I went for a facial and the lady told me they make the apricot scrub with the same thing that's in Commet.  It totally creeped me out, so of course I bought their product -- Dermalogica, and I actually really like it.

    In terms of make up, I can't live without Nars Sheer Glow foundation.  It provides just enough coverage and makes my skin look great.

    I get complements on my eyelashes all the time.  I tired Blinc (it creates tubes around your eyelashes) and I didn't like it. I will cry the day they stop making it.

    Try oils.  I have tried a few before I found the 'one.'  I am loving the Mythic Oil from L'Oreal Professionals.  I live in a cold desert and it DRY year around, especially in the winter.  The wind, which is at least 10+ miles a day, negative temps on top of blow drying and coloring my really makes it dry.  This oil really has helped, a little goes along ways.  

    If you do get don't get it at the salon it is $15 cheaper on Amazon.
