Here’s a thought I had when I was putting on my make up today. Let’s say something happened, oh your apartment burned down, your luggage is lost, your make up disappears into the great unknown, what would be your must haves that you replace first?
It wasn’t hard for me to make my list at all. I have my go to products that I use daily and few favorites that if I had to choose, those would be what I replace first. (I was lucky in that my make up box was up off the ground in the one dry room (my bedroom) and I got it out before the broke the hole in my bedroom ceiling, flooding everything in there. I would have been so upset if I lost my make up box, it was my grandma’s.)
So, here are my go to items –

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Very Black
I’ve used other mascaras, I like other mascaras, but I always go back to the old standby. I love the way it makes my eye lashes look after 2 coats. I think I’ve used this brand most of the time since 7th grade. It’s not that change is hard it’s that the mascara is hard to beat for the quality at the price.
Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer
I got this at Wal-Mart. Turns out they are starting to sell Hard Candy. I know they sold it in Ohio, but this was the first time I’ve seen it here. LOVE this concealer. It says it covers up tattoos. I haven’t tried to cover up tattoos with it because I like my tattoos and don’t work outside of the home so need to cover them up. It does however cover the mask of pregnancy I earned while pregnant with Christiano that never went away. And it stays covered all day. It also keeps my dark eyes (see the apartment burning down post) and blemishes (again, see the previous post – stress does wonders to my face) covered.

So I haven’t tried any other booster to compare this too, but I love this one. It just gives you a little shimmer to your face. Not glitter. Shimmer. Pretty.
NYC Smooch proof long wearing lip color in #486 (Goddess)
No picture, but this is my ABSOLUTE favorite lip color. Stays on, and I am not kidding you….All.Day.Long. It’s a stain that you put a gloss over. The gloss you reapply throughout the day but the lip color lasts the whole day unless you are eating/drinking a lot. If that’s the case, I reapply once and I’m good.
LOVE IT! Used that brand and type for a few years.

Revlon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup in Medium
I just started using this stuff, but for the price, it’s the best mineral make up I’ve used.
It’s a powder, that feels wet. Weird. I think it’s the coconut water in it. My brush is dry every time I apply it and it still feels damp. Don’t know, all I know if it evens me out after I’ve put on the concealer above. And it stays on, even after I’ve napped with the kids. I don’t have to reapply anything but eye liner. I know, sleeping in make up, bad bad. But it’s just a nap, right?
ELF Eye Brightening eye color – neutrals
I just love the colors and the price. $1? You should see how many of the ELF eye shadows I have. All of them I think. This would be the must replace one because it’s neutral.

Mary Kay Signature Eye Color / Shadow Vintage Gold
My go to most favorite eye shadow that I use all the time. Bottom, middle, top, it changes the way my make up looks. Love it!!!
I actually have to replace this because mine was destroyed in the fire. I love this though. I have the driest face. No matter what foundation I wear, it makes my face look dry and powdery. When I use this under my foundation, it makes me look fresh and not powdery all day long. Favorite!!!

L’Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Pro Perfect Airbrush Medium Natural Tan
This isn’t make up technically, but I use this every other day when I get out of the shower. Gives me a nice tan color that I miss in the winter plus no skin cancer chance. Doesn’t turn me orange. Makes me happy!
Those are my go – tos. What are yours? I might need to add to my stash!
Have a great day!
