@ Anam - I love YSL Lipstick and the packaging is amazing. I feel like I need a Chanel suit when I wear it.

@Kaitlyn - How do you feel about the Clarisonic knockoffs? I've never tried one but I've always been curious if they work as well since there was so much technology involved with producing the original. Which do you have?

@Jenni - you touched upon 2 of my "keep in handbag at all times items" - MAC C-Thru lipglass (good on it's own or over lipstick) and Rosebud Salve (god, I seriously rub this stuff on any dry area - lips, elbos, even under the eyes...and I feel like I smell like a fancy "mature" woman who should be wearing a chanel suit!

@Megan - Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey - unbelievable how amazing this looks on everyone! And I always forget about it! Thank you for the reminder!

@Maggie - You and I seem to have very similar taste and shhh but I hear The Balm is having a super blowout sale right now ;)

@Lori - I LOVE Benefit Coralista - would definitely be my #12. So pretty and smells like a yummy tropical drink.

@Jacqueline - I haven't tried the Youngblood Mineral Primer yet but I love their line. Is it similar to the Mineral Primer by Hourglass? I trust your expert opinions :)

Brittany - Do you use the Too Faced Better Than False Lashes on a daily basis? I've been considering changing over from the Lash Injection but it seems like a lot of work! What's been your experience?

Ugh sorry for the long response guys - you beat me to it!

1. Bio Oil- I cannot live without this stuff, it's seriously so amazing! I coat my face in it every night to rehydrate my skin &even out my skin tone. It's the only thing that works to keep my skin from being dry, I have tried so many things and this is my miracle product- I wake up every morning with gorgeous glowy skin!
2. Monistat's Chafing Relief Powder gel as my primer, I even use this to prime my lips.
3. Maybeline's dream smooth mousse foundation- I cannot live without this either! I have tried so many foundations, drugstore to high end- and this is the only thing that has really worked for me. It makes my skin glow and dewy- it is so lightweight, with full coverage and will not look cakey on your skin at all!
4. My real techniques expert face! I use this to apply foundation, powder, blush, blonzer, any and everything!
5. Make up forever's aqua brow in blonde & a light brown brow pencil &powder for my brows!
6. Rimmels' lash accelerator mascara

1) Shu Uemura brightening cleansing oil. This gets all my makeup off in one step and leaves my skin perfectly balanced.

2) Kiehl's Eye Alert men's eye cream. This somehow gets rid of my circles and leaves my eyes fresh.

3) MAC brightening primer. This doesn't feel silicony going on and does a good job prepping my skin.

Bobby Brown Corrector- This is awesome even on its own for days where I am pressed for time and can't do concealer.
5) Cle de Peau foundation creme to powder compact. I use this mostly to correct any red spots on my face or discoloration so I have a perfect even porcelain effect.

7) Guerlain bronzer - I have this in the medium powder and during summer I love the spray bronzer. Nothing else gives a more natural color. I use the powder for subtle contour year round.
9) By Terry Rose de Rose blush. This smells delicious and gives the perfect pop of pink color on my cheeks.
10) Sephora liquid liner in grey. This is easy to apply and the formulation does not dry out easily. This is also a bargain at 10 dollars.

11) Burberry lipstick in Blueberry. This is a perfect stain for me. I find black honey a little too warm. This is cooler.

12) Victoria's Secret Grapefruit gloss. This goes over whatever lipstick I wear and makes it last. It gives it a cool silvery sheen that I love.

13) Blinc Kiss Me Mascara. I wear contacts, and my lashes are mile long but blonde. This saturates them with color and forms tubes so they stay put.

14) Maybelline color tattoos in barely branded. This is my new eye primer of choice. It is low end but performs like a high end product. I love it.

15) Anastasia brow powder in ash blonde. This is a desert island product for me as it follows that blonde lashes would mean blonde brows. This gives the perfect color.

Oh, number 8 got deleted. That would have to be my HG Skinceuticals Phloretin serum. I get the mini bottles on eBay in a pack of six as it is more economically reasonable and the ingredients are less likely to oxidize. Keeps my skin even and clear, and has made my 32 year old skin look 10 years younger.
