Umm...I have a list of stuff I can't live without thats ok. Frizz Ease, Biore Masks, Vichy Normaderm facial wash, toner and day and night creams. In terms of makeup, MAC pressed powder, Softlips lip balm, MAC Lu Bee Lu lip gloss and Maybelline mascara.
Every single day I use Philosophy's Purity face wash, Philosophy's Hope in a Jar moisturizer, Bare Escentuals's Trudy all over face color, and Too Faced Mineral Water Eye Brightening Pencil. The Too Faced pencil is my most recent discovery and I'm in LOVE-it's one color fits all and is super easy to use. I use it as a concealer under my eyes and on random spots all over my face-it's awesome!
Neutrogena fresh foaming cleanser - gentle & moisturizing face wash
Purpose SPF15 moisturizer - I've used this since middle school!
Laura Mercier silk creme foundation
NARS Orgasm blush
Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara - I tried Diorshow & I honestly like the CG way better!
L'oreal HIP cream eyeliner (in the jar) - easy to apply & a great alternative to pricier brands
Mascara! I have blonde-white eyelashes and rarely ever leave the house without some mascara on. Right now I'm loving Clinique's Lash Power mascara in brown.
Dr. Ci Labo's sensitive skin moisturizer and charcaol face soap! It has been doing wonders for my sensitive and often flakey skin.
Maybelline Mineral Power face powder, mascara (haven't found a fave brand yet, but mascara, period, is a must have!). Also love Eminence skin care products... in love with the Seven Herb masque :), and Plantogen Overnight Stress Relief Moisturizer has done wonders for my skin too!
Burts Bees Lip Balm
Bare Escentuals, Skin Revver Upper
Cetaphil facewash
Face moisturizer with bronzer and SPF (right now Jergens, which I don't LOVE but Neutrogena stopped making their version)
Face: Proactiv, Aveeno Ultra-Calming Lotion--I have sensitive skin and I use to break out until I started using it a few years ago and these products totally rock.
Makeup: Maybelline Mineral Face Powder as mentioned above--love it!
Hair: hairspray--I have fine hair and a lot of it so I use it to hold my side part and keep all the flyaways down.
All Over: Fake Bake--the good sun, keeps me tan year round in WA :)
Hairspray. Bronzer. And Mascara. I barely go a day without using all of those!
Concealer.....maybelline. clinique, (right now) Smashbox, I'm an Irish girl with an Irish dad and an Irish mum with olive skin ...... which I did NOT inherit. I did inherit mum's green eyes however I ended up with daddy's paler skin......and he tans in 5 minutes unlike me....hmmmm are you sure I'm not adopted....yeah...it's a bit of a sore spot for me...thanks nana and mum....Mr H loves my hazel green eyes but how come I missed out on the olive skin? I KNOW we're Norwegian at some point, I was born blonde to dark haired parents.....where did it go>
OMG - meg1223, I also use Philosophy Purity Face Wash every day and it's amazing. I also love Nars Orgasm blush, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara. Oh, and Smith's Rosebud Salve for super soft lips!
Witch Hazel! Always my number one!
Also: Shiseido SPF 55, Benefit Boo Boo Zap, Nars Powder (Snow), Too Faced Pinpoint Mascara, Smashbox and Dior lipsticks, Smashbox lip glosses, Urban Decay Black Eyeliner, Makeup Forever HD Powder and Mist and Fix. When everyone ran out of Cargo Foundation in F-10 a few weeks ago, I drove two hours to get it from another Sephora (couldn't find it online ANYWHERE!! grr!)
And I go through like three cans of Dove hairspray a month, hah
Some things that I cannot live without:
Beauty Care - I'm obviously obsessed
Eye drops, J.A.S.O.N Vitamin E Cream, La Mer Face Spray, my boar bristle brush body exfoliator thingy in the shower, eye cream by Chanel, Apivita express masks - Ginko Biloba Eye Mask, Cucumber Moisture Mask, Olive Deep face scrub, vaseline for my lips and cuticles and I even put it under my eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows, Aveda Lip Saver, Cuticle Oil ... my eyebrow girl and my hair colorist - haha.
Makeup
I don't wear much, but what I do love is my Chanel tient innocence, Chanel foundation brush, Benefit Posie Tint, Armani skin shimmer liquid stuff ... #2 and #7
I love Fresh Sugar Scrub but it is $$$$ and lasts like 5 days... so I just buy it as a splurge once in a while, cannot justify buying it all the time
Wish I could make it myself at home. Anyone know how?
Clear aloe vera gel! I use it everywhere. I put it on my face before I moisturize and I mix it with my Bed Head hair gel to tame my curls, yet keep them from being too crispy. Love it, plus it's cheap and healthy.
I've also recently been obsessing over Oil of Olay's Definity line. Everything works like it says it should.
I am a new bareMinerals addict - love it! I also have fallen in love with CoverGirl's Outlast Lipstain. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
And I have to have my Ponds face wipes. I know I should add some mosturizer in there somewhere...
I cannot live without my:
Laura Mercier concelear
Laura Mercier pressed powder
Chanel Twinkle lip gloss (the best all around color for a lip gloss but has a hefty price tag)
Christian Dior Shawdow mascara
My fingers for some pinching of my cheeks!
:)
Hmmm... I used to use Dior Shawdow Mascara, but now I fell in love with bad gal lash by benefit (I saw someone posted that!)
But I could not live without an eyelash curler! My eyelashes are like camels! So straight!
mineral powder for me... so easy to use and it gives me a lovely natural cover
oh, and all my ella bache cleansing & moisturising products
oh and my facialist
im getting older... i need more help these days :)
Eye Brow Powder! i have VERY light eye brows and when i don't have any on, u can barley see my eye brows!
Bare Minerals. Lurve.
Also, I don't think my eyes function anymore without mascara.
Bare Minerals or MAC foundation
Nars Blush in Orgasm (if you don't already use this RUN to the store and pick it up!)
Bobbi Brown eyeliner (its in a little tub you apply with a brush, stays on ALL day)
Revlon mascara- the only beauty item I won't splurge on anymore, I've tried Diorshow and Shu Umera mascaras and didn't like them)
Shu Umera eyelash curler (again, RUN and go get this one)
Other than that, not too many other things! I do have a weakness for Essie nail polish and am hoping to stop by and pick up some new bright colors after work :)
L'oreal golden sunset eye shadow. It is seriously the best eye shadow I've ever used--stays on all day, and has this gorgeous light shimmer that works for every day or special occasions. I get asked all the time what eye shadow I use. And it's only $4 at CVS!
I need to have my John Freida shampoo and conditioner! And my Crest extra super duper white toothpaste. I shouldn't have to sacrifice my hair and my smile in a bad economy. I need them to cheer me up!
Maybelline Mineral Power liquid concealer. My make-up artist for the wedding used this below my eyes and WOW! It really covers up the dark circles. It works better than Benefit's Erase Paste that I splurged on! :)
i don't leave the house without: spf/tinted moisturizer, mascara and lip balm. so those are my general must haves.
These are my must haves:
High Beam from Benefit:
Studio Fix Foundation from M.A.C
Mascara, any brand really... and lipgloss
I'll be the first to admit i'm a beauty diva. I have lots of must-haves and i take very very good care of my skin. I want to pass for mid 30's when i'm in my 50's like my mom! She completely attributes it to taking good care of her skin in her 20's.
That being said, moisturizer is my big one. My skin gets dry, as does my face. If i don't put any on, i feel miserable. For makeup wise, I need a light brown eyebrow pencil (i was blessed with a spot that doesn't grow hair right between the curve of one brow! wtf), an eyeliner, and mascara.

What are your MUST-HAVE beauty products? In this economy, I know we product-junkies have to be a little discerning about what we're spending money on. However, I know there are some products that are just necessary in a daily beauty routine.
So what are your "gotta have them" beauty products?
