If I could only have 9...

I LOVE make up, always have, always will. It’s my favorite part of my getting ready process.  I really think a look is just completed by the makeup. So here I’ve compiled some products that are my absolute, I cannot do without products, and I’d like to share them with you. These are the products that I would choose if I could only have 9 products for the rest of my life. Lord forbid that tragedy ever happens.

1.   Mary Kay Waterproof mascara- I get this through my mom who works with a lady that sells Mary Kay. I have very oily eyes and this formula doesn’t budge all day. I’ve tried other mascaras that perhaps I liked more, but they were not affordable for this broke college girl’s budget.

2.   Maybelline Super Stay 24Hr concealer-in ivory. This stuff works; I’ve battled acne for years. This not only covers the blemishes, but does a wonderful job of camouflaging the scars too. Again much easier on my wallet than a lot of products

3.   Eyelash Curler- Duh!!!!! If I do nothing else in the morning I curl my lashes. My curler actually came from the dollar tree. Works better that any one I’ve ever had.

4.   Almay Intense i-Color Liner-Brown Topaz. I bought this as an impulse buy years ago. I’ve never found a liner that can make the blue in my eyes pop the way this one does.

5.   Sally Hensen Healing Lip Butter. I just found out this product is discontinued :( I go through chapstick like Taylor Swift goes through men, so I’ve tried tons of balms; this one was definitely my favorite of all time. It was made purely of fruit oils and had no waxy residue. Sad to see it go

6.   Physician’s Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder- in translucent light. Like I said I have problem skin this stuff is amazingly gentle for the amount of coverage you can achieve.

7.   Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock- I wear SPF every day. Even in the winter. The higher the SPF the better. I put this stuff on in the mornings and my skin feels better than it did before.

8.   Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera 100% Gel – clear pure aloe can be used for so many things but I use it as a daily moisturizer. It even out the oily and dry spots and helps keep them that way all day long

9.   Mac Dazzleglass- in Moth to Flame. A lady at church once let me wear a bit of this when I was younger.  I was hooked. It’s so perfect for day or night and the smell is to die for. This is not cheap stuff I know. So I keep cheaper glosses for everyday use but I love having this in my bag on a big night out.

So yeah those are my got-to-have-it products. Making this list has given me a great idea for another post I’ll do soon on how to save on beauty products. For now, ta-ta
