What are your holy grail beauty products? What have discovered and loved and no longer have to hunt for?
Thanks to Monica for the question!
Eyeshadow: Too Faced's Totally Toasted, MAC Folie Eye liner: Make Up Forever Lip gloss: Chanel Glossimer in Twinkle Foundation: Clinique Blush: NARS Orgasm Lipstick: Clinique Delovely, NARS First Bite Mascara: DiorShow Also, love Chanel Mademoiselle
Wow, I'm impressed and surprised that so many HG mascaras are drug store buys. I use Diorshow and love Chanel Exceptionnel. I'm too fickle to stick to just one of any kind of makeup but my HG concealer is Benefit Erase Paste, and my HG powder is Physician's Formula translucent pressed powder (the one that's a patchwork of colors). For hair my HG products are Lush's Big shampoo and Retread conditioner. For skin I always use the King of Skin body butter for excellent moisturization right before I get out of the shower, and I love Body Shop body butters. For face I can't live without Lush Herbalism cleanser, Tea Tree Water toner, and Vanishing Cream moisturizer. I use Clinique All About Eyes and the Dramatically Different Moisturizer on my lips and any dry spots in the winter (cheeks mostly). I use Lerosett face mask a few times a week for breakouts and as a spot treatment overnight. I discovered this mask/cleanser in high school and it saved my life.
Benefit Some Kind of Gorgeous MAC -Mineralize Finish -Rave Pearlglide -Violet Pigment Anna Sui Eyshadow (002) Turquoise Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Mine are: Prep + Prime Lash Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Rave pearlglide Blushbaby blusher MAC Red l/s :)
My two holy grails right now are my Nars multiple in Orgasm, a total lifesaver for me and perfect with my very pale skin tone, and my Nars eyeliner in London, a gorgeous grey liner.
HG mascara: Maybelline Great lash waterproof in very black HG foundation. mineral foundation by MAD minerals, Valerie beauty and Adorned with Grace minerals..and I am falling in love with Revlon Colourstay foundation HG e/s: MAC Shroom, Mylar, Sunnyside Up, In Living Pink, Hey, UD Sellout, Sin... I don
LOL I don't have much Holy Grail items. Most of the items I have like foundation and mascara, I'm only on the first container of! By the time I use it all up, something new has come out that I want to try! :P I think my holy grail black liquid liner would be Clinique Eye Defining liner and Stila Smudgepot for gel liners. They rest of my makeup items, mascara, foundation, primer, etc. I have not bought two of... yet.
my HG's: eyeliner: MAC Blacktrack Fluidline mascara; Rimmel Glam Eyes lipstick: MAC VGV lipgloss:Estee Lauder high gloss in Blush highlighter: MAC MSF Soft & Gentle
My (very recent) HG's Eyeliner - bobbie brown black mauve shimmer is GORGEOUS, i also like the bronze for lower lash Shadow - tarte lock and roll in rose quartz makes me look bright eyed Concealer - dior skinfinish Blush - tarte dollface Lips - the brightest red long lasting color from Mac, don't remember the name but it is BRIGHT, and Stila convertible color in poppy Mascaras never agree with me unfortunately... Happy Holidays!
My HG foundation would have to be any of the MAC products along with their powder line. My HG mascara would have to be L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara. I cannot go anywhere without this!!
oh i still have a long way to go to find my HGs for a lot of things. but i know for certain i've found my HG brushes that can do EVERYTHING when it comes to eye make up. the MAC #239 and #219. i can literally use them for everything to do with my eyes! they're amazing and so worth the money. :)
My HG's Eyeshadow: Mac Yogurt and Ricepaper Mascara: Diorshow Iconic Blush: Nars Mounia Lips: Benefit's Benetint Moisturizer: Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Eyeliner: Mac's Blacktrack Fluidline and Bobbi Brown's Black Mauve Shimmering Ink. Primer: UDPP and Mac's Paintpots Brush: Sephora's mineral powder I wouldn't go ANYWHERE without any of these!!
Earthline technakohl, Black Karat kohl power (it's DC but at least I have a backup!), Mystery e/s with Vellum highlight for easy work eyes Buoy o buoy for nude lips, dare you for red lips. And I just bought it yesterday, so maybe it's just a crush and not the real deal, but Icescape l/g is EXACTLY what I want in a pinky gloss. And is it my imagination or has it been reformulated with more jojoba oil and is less sticky? It is almost like last year's 3D glosses.
oops i meant Mylar, not Vellum! Since they are both craft/art supplies, I always get the names confused!
My HG pencil liner is UD's 24/7 liner in Zero (in fact all the 24/7 liners are awesome) My HG red lipstick is MAC's Ladybug and my HG blush is MAC blushcreme in Blossoming. I like quite a few mascaras but I'm still a sucker for trying new ones. Maxfactor Masterpiece, Benefit BadGal Lash and Maybelline Define-a-lash (the green one) are really really good. The Maybelline Colossal has just come out in the UK, has anyone tried it? Good/ok/really not worth forking out for? Merry Christmas Eve everyone! :o)
I like the Maybelline Colossal a lot..really dark, fantastic volume. Has a bit of a weird smell, but you get over it. Benefit Bad Gal Lash is my HG mascara!
Clinique's Almost Powder - if I wear nothing else in terms of make-up, I wear this. It's even more important to me than mascara. Stila's Convertible Eye Color - LOVE this product and the packaging especially. Super convenient.
my holy grail gold eyeshadow is my maybelline trio in bronze glitz...for being maybelline...they are very pigmented colors and they mix with other colors to make even more beautiful combinations...all my friends are obsessed with this palette...there's just no other gold my holy grail eyeshadows for mac is my cult of cherry spiced chocolate quad...every color is beautiful and go together perfectly my holy grail mascara is definitely maybelline define-a-lash...i love this mascara there is no other lol
