This topic may have been discussed before, but I don't feel like searching.

What are the beauty/cosmetic products you can't live without?

Here's my list:

Clinique pressed powder

Victoria's Secret lotion--Love Spell, Vanilla Lace and Body by Victoria

Almay Cool Effects eye shadow--cheap but really the only stuff I've found that doesn't crease.

Wet and Wild lip glosses--also cheap but so shiny and pretty.

MAC lipglass

Kiel's lip balm--Rosebud Salve is great too

Calvin Klein Obsession

Neutrogena Acne-Free face wash

Herbal Essences

OPI nail polish

Revlon Shine Control pressed powder!! They discontinued it and I have now been buying it at any store I see it in. I have 5 stockpiled so far and still looking!

I have a ton of makeup, but most of the time I buy it,wear it a few times and it ends up either at the back of my drawer or in my daughters' playroom. My good old standbys, though, are:

Origins Just Browsing in Brunette
Philosophy Supernatural Lash Darkener
BeneFit Dandelion used as blush
MAC liptint spf 15

I agree with Rosebud Salve for lips! My other favs are:
Chanel Double perfection foundation
MAC eyeshadows and brushes-they last forever!
Shiseido face products-esp the moisturizer
Juicy Tubes in berry bold
Jergens body lotion-cheap and smells good!

i love mac eyeshadow- (swish is my fave- hot pink)

neutrogena spf 15 moisturizer-

almay concealer- spf 15

almay blush

maybelline soft and full mascara- very black and everfresh foundation (natural beige)

jane-- these eye shadow stick things that are great- in summer (its a pink/gold and is a great base for eyeshadow)

caboodles sparkles and lip gloss! this is my secret- i take my blush brush and put some of the loose sparkles near the outside corners of my eyes- they make me look very angelic and attrack boys like crazy- (they are like WAHT is that stuff... and then stare like little kids- its too funny) and then i use the lip gloss in a very light pink sparkly color to keep it lightened up

candies perfume and calvin klein truth

I'm still looking for a good powder, and a blush color I really like but the products I like are:

Estee Lauder Foundation- It's got a pink undertone, so most people can't wear it, but I just happen to be very pink, so the color matches me well. It covers, but is light, it's not too expensive and it has SPF 15. perfect!

Mascara- I like Great Lash and the Clinique Mascara. Greatlash is cheaper.

MAC liquid liner with liner brush- It's a little hard to apply at first, but after a while you can do it easily. A lot easier, and less messy than other liquid liners with tubes and thick brushes. I love this stuff!

Shadow: Any good color, really. I like powder eyeshadows the best. I have a Laura Mercier kit that has a great shimmery brown.

I third or fourth the MAC Lipglass!

oh oh!! I forgot, the best concealer I've found is a liquid Maybeline concealer. Good color, cheap and it sticks!

Frutis deep conditioner (it smells really good too)

B&BW pumpkin facial mask (also smells really good)

Origins Perfect World Series

Origins Balance Lotion (made with H20 and not oils=no breakouts)

Origins Spot Remover (noticing a trend here?)

Estee Lauder shadows. i dunno the color names, but it's a deep purple and pink.

Clinique Happy Heart

Matrix Smooth Lite Hair Straightening Cream

Paul Mitchell anything.

Can you tell I love makeup?

I'm not a big one on beauty products. Until recently, I washed my face with Ivory soap... then I started watching Queer Eye and realized the error of my ways

So I'd go with:
- Clinique skin care line
- Clinique and MAC eyeshadow
- Cinnabar perfume
- A lipstick I found a few years ago, called "Mood Matcher" or something like that. It's brightly colored in the tube (green, blue, etc) but goes on red or pink... supposedly it changes color according to your mood.

I like it not because of the color thing, but because it stays on all day, even if you eat or drink... only downside... removing it at the end of the night! And the fact that hardly anyone carries it.

revlon color stay liquid eyeliner....the best ever...hands down. i've used 'em all, and this is the best for application.

the new oil of olay face wash.....it's in a blue and white tooth paste lookin tube......my skin has never really given me problems, but this winter, my skin has dried out!!!

i started using this stuff followed by their moisturizer....and WOW.....hate to sound like a cheesie commercial, but my skin is now silky and smooth, and my make-up goes on perfectly! love it!

bath and body works hand exfoliator.....silk ppl....skin=silk

NYC brand lip gloss....super cheap at ye ol wal-mart....but it has great "high priced" colors (i bought a lip gloss pod at victoria's secret that was fabulous, but $15.....i am poor....don't have $15 to spend on lip gloss.....even though it's worth it). found the same color (just not as creamy) in the cheapie brand....get tons o' compliments!

saint ives facial exfoliator in apricot........loooooove this once a week!

fructis deep conditioner is also fabulous....made my hair uber shiney!

Oh how I love these threads!!!!!

my favorite list has changed since I've become a Mary Kay consultant..... but currently I'm all about:

- Mary Kay Bronze eyeliner - brings out blue eyes like no other! I love this!!!!!

-Mary Kay Cheek color in Nutmeg - I can not wear too "pinkish" or too "orangeish" colors....but somehow this color is just right!

- Mary Kay nail polish - I am very into nail polish! But my Maybelline always, always chips off! Not trying to plug Mary Kay too much - but I did my nails and my toe nails over a week ago and it is still on and shiny!! I'm like mega hard on my nails so thats really amazing!!!!

- Victoria's Secret - Love Spell!!! I live by this scent!

- Dove Body Exfoilator - its a huge liquid bottle of Dove that exfoilates and moisturizes!! You'll have super soft skin!!

- Big Sexy Hair products/Healthy Sexy Hair products - I love this entire line! And the leave in Healthy Sexy Hair condition is awesome, especially for limp, fine hair!

KEEP IT COMING GIRLIES!!!!
