Everyone has favorite make-up items that are always on hand. I have only twelve (can you believe it??) essentials. I keep my daily make-up very minimal, and natural looking- this could be because I'm lazier than a sloth on a warm day. I only make big changes for occasions like Halloween when everyone can wear as much make-up as Snooki and it's okay. It's safe to say that I will bring out my girly pom-poms and cheer on anything made by Bobbi Brown, Korres, and Chanel. But this isn't to say that high end cosmetics always live up to their price tags. Sometimes, a drugstore brand really is the best bet.
1. Maybelline BB Cream (in light), $8- This is one of those drugstore items that I was talking about. It's phenomenal. A close runner up is Estee Lauder Day Wear BB. It retails for $40. Love the texture, & the smell is very fresh and clean- unfortunately me & the marshmallows of the world have the same complexion, so their lightest shade is too dark for me.
2. Time Balm Concealer (in lighter than light), $17- A less expensive Secret Concealer by Laura Mercier, $22.
3. Bare Minerals Matte Foundation (in Fair), $27- I was hooked on this the first time I used it.
4. MAC Mineralize Blush (in Dainty), $25- Another favorite is NARS Orgasm, $29. It looks good on almost every skin tone.
5. NARS Eyeliner Stylo (in Carpates), $27- H discovered this treasure & is a master of the cat eye.
6. Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow (in Heather), $21- This color may look daunting, but it is a fabulous everyday color.
7. Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow (in Forrest), $21- This is one of the most beautiful eyeshadows in the world. Works wonders as an eyeliner or as smokey eye.
8. Maybelline Colossal Lash (in Glam Black), $5- I haven't found a mascara I like more than this one. Here is another drugstore item that I give five stars!
9. Rouge Coco Shine (in Fetiche), $34- This stuff is phenomenal. It is sheer, it is hydrating, and it is wonderful. Maybelline Color Whisper is a great alternative.
10. Korres Lip Butter (in Jasmine), $12- This makes lips a perfect nudeish color, smells wonderful, & hydrates. I always have this with me.
11. Rosebud Perfume Co. (Rosebud Salve), $6. I LOVE THIS STUFF.
12. Korres Cherry Full Color Gloss (in Fuchsia), $17- All time favorite color.
