Mav- I've heard great things about Shiseido's Pureness line, but the SA at Shiseido told me that this may be too harsh for me other than the summer. Do you use this line year round? How do you like it?

Mascara- Day: Chanel Inimitable. Night: DiorShow Black Out

Highlighter: Same DiorSkin powder as above
Lipstick/stain/gloss: Laura Mercier
HAIR PRODUCTS
Shampoo: Aveda Shampure
Conditioner: same
Hydrating masks: n/a
Hair products: I have long, straight hair that often gets a halo of frizz. I love just a dab of Aveda Light Elements Smoothing fluid to make it so smooth and shiny!

Hey, I've lurked awhile after the switch-over from The Nest. I'd like to play!
MAKEUP Foundation: was a loyal Bare Minerals user, just recently purchased Mac Studio Fix in NW22 and I like it a lot. The Garnier BB cream is ok if I use concealer and powder with it. I generally use it when I'm running out quickly for a short amount of time.
Powder: Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
Concealer for blemishes: Benefit Erase Paste
Under eye concealer: Benefit Erase Paste
Eyeliner: L'oreal Smoldering Kohl
Mascara: no holy grail but Cover Girl Lash Blast and Maybelline Full N Soft are pretty good. So is the old school Cover Girl Great Lash
Eyeshadow: I love Darling Girl and Fyrinnae (indie -online only companies, but well worth it. The eyeshadows are much cheaper than high end brands even with shipping and the colors are much more intense than any brand I've used), Mac Vex, Wet N Wild Comfort Zone palette and Silent Treatment palette
Blush: No holy grail but I am enjoying NYX Pinched and Darling Girl Boardwalk Blush
Bronzer: no holy grail but I like Bare Minerals Faux Tan Matte powder. Cargo Sunset Beach is pretty nice too (bronzer, blush, and highlighter mixed, but can be used separately).
Highlighter: TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer, also NYX Nude Pigment
Lipstick/stain/gloss: no holy grails, but I like NYX Smokey Look Lipgloss, Victoria's Secrets Beauty Rush lipgloss
I really don't have any hair or face products that I love, so I am skipping these sections.

MAKEUP
Foundation: Depends on the time of year. For a lighter weight formulation, Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua. For a heavier, more matte formulation, MHD's Matte.
Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Powder.
Concealer for blemishes: MAC's Studio Finish.
Under eye concealer: I still search for the perfect one...hahaha. Right now I am liking the Lancome waterproof formulation for under eyes.
Eyeliner: UD 24/7 for my waterline, and Bobbi Brown gel liner for my upper lash line.
Mascara: Either Dior Show or Benefit's They're Real.
Eyeshadow: I really like both of my Naked palettes, but specifically, I love UD Sin and Chanel's Fauve.
Blush: This depends on the time of year. Right now I am using Benefit's Coralista.
Bronzer: Nars Laguna.
Highlighter: Benefit's High Beam for a liquid formulation. I like MAC's MSF in Soft and Gentle for a powder formulation.
Lipstick/stain/gloss: This is also dependent on season. Right now I am liking Lancome's Coral in Love and Bobbi Brown's Neon Pink. These are both lipsticks. I rarely use lipstick and never stains.

Foundation - I typically wear BB or CC. In summer, Physicians Formula CC+. Otherwise, Dr Jart, Boscia, etc.
Powder - The Balm Sexy Mama (translucent pressed). To set concealer I will be using Tarte Smooth Operator loose (when the rest of my Benefit Powderflage is finally gone).
