Products you can't live without

[pinotgrig]

I'm in the middle of replacing/re-evaluating a bunch of my beauty products - everything from skincare to makeup.

I have very few faves so far - mainly my straightener (www.amazon.com/HSI-PROFESSIONAL-TOURMALINE-STRAIGHTENER-Treatment/dp/B001MA0QY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372470451&sr=8-1&keywords=hsi+straightener) and UD concealer (http://www.amazon.com/Urban-Decay-Concealer-Pencil-FBI/dp/B001COTI4C/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1372470489&sr=1-1&keywords=urban+decay+fbi).

You?

Boscia Makeup Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil--seriously, just the best cleanser I've found.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer--light, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, and fairly cheap for non-drugstore moisturizer.

Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer--if you have oily skin this does an amazing job of keeping your makeup in place all day.

Lorac Eye Primer--Works far better than UDPP, and it applies much more easily.

Fresh lip balm--I absolutely adore this stuff and am totally willing to pay over $20 a tube because it works that well.

Bobbi Brown Blush/Bronzer in Antigua--it's marketed as a bronzer, but it's really just the most lovely pink blush I own.

NARS lipstick in Falbala--whenever I need just a simple, natural looking pink lipstick this is the one I reach for. It's moisturizing, long-wearing, and very flattering.

Rouge Bunny Rouge eyeshadows--this is a weird "must have" pick because it's only sold online in the US, but their shadows are GORGEOUS and have the most lovely formula I've ever encountered. Delicate Hummingbird (mauve-tinged shimmery taupe) is my favorite, followed by Unforgettable Oriole (shimmering ivory) and Olive Violoteer (matte dusky green).

UD 24/7 eyeliners--I know there are many drugstore dupes that work just as well, but I'm still working my way through my 15th anniversary set.

NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder--this has wonderful imperfection-blurring and mattifying properties, plus it doesn't irritate my skin at all. Win!

Retin A;
Paula's Choice products may become my HG skincare products. I use a face wash, AHA gel, antioxidant serum, and moisturizer;
Foundation or BB/tinted moisturizer with spf (I'm really liking Purminerals CC cream);
Neutrogena T-gel is the only shampoo that helps my itchy scalp;
Revlon lip butters

Things I really can't live without:
-CeraVe hydrating cleanser
-Cover Girl lip slicks gloss
-Revlon lip butter
-Tarte amazonian clay blush
-pretty much all my makeup brushes, but especially my EcoTools powder brush, Sephora #55 Pro Airbrush, and Real Techniques stippling brush

nsl - I've tried a few dupes and still like the 24/7 pencils better

I love my Arbonne foundation.
Most other products I can take or leave.
