What’s your most treasured piece of makeup? Share! 
.
It’s tough to say! Nothing actually pops up in my mind, so I guess there’s no one piece that sticks out.
.
YSL faux cils. its ended the mascara buying madness for me.
Cover FX concealer and probably my loreal double extend mascara because It holds the curl really well and carmex is always a must have.
Sounds so blah but I love my eyeshadows from the N collection. I have 4 of each! They are my daytime shadows. The colors are perfect for me.
My MAC e/s and l/s collection. 266, 217, 109 & 182 couture brushes Lately I can't get enough of my DSquared Naked Rose l/s. I am ordering a backup since I think this will be the first l/s I run out of!
There's a lot I like. My Personelle (drugstore home brand, lol) palette, cheap but I love the colors, my Ana Sui lipgloss, Face and Sephora mono eye shadow and my l'Oreal Panoramic mascara.
My Diorskin foundation, NARS Super Orgasm blush, my new Bobbi Brown nude palate, and my 2 new Chanel Rouge Allure Laque lipsticks. They were all expensive and worth it!
My chanel glossimer in coconut. It was a european release only. Divine
I have two things: An urban decay single eyeshadow in oil slick that I bought ten years ago....it was my first high end purchase and it looked so cool and edgy to me in the little silver pot with urban decay written across it. I've kept it so long because of sentimental value. My absolute treasure of my collection would be my shu uemura adorned marguerite palette from last year's holiday collection. It has beautiful colours which blend together like a dream....one could make hundreds of different looks with it! The packaging is also beautiful!
Such a hard decision, deffinatly would be between MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink, Face & Body Foundation or Fix+ Spray! My go to face!
My Sandy B lipstick and my omega e/s both MAC 'cause the omega makes my eyebrows look fab and Sandy B is just a life saver.
My Dior foundation and 188 face brush
I have a couple: My Guerlain Meteorites gold compact (priceless), my Dior limited edition palettes (they are for show, as I probably will never tap into them, crazy, I know) and my crystal Mac Hello Kitty Mystery Powder (expensive and gorgeous!)
Mac's So Ceylon, gives me a tan beautiful! Also just got MSF in Refined and it's a nice tan peachy color! great combo!
anything LE just because it's LE :)
If I had to choose one it will be my primer Or de Guerlain... its been a year I have it now and I only wear it for special occasions and it is almost done. If I can have a top 5 list 1) Or de Guerlain 2) Rouge G #66 de Guerlain 3) Burberry Brit - Gold 4) Rita Beige Dior 5) Shimmer powder de Dior
My Rouge G lipsticks & my guerlain forever Pink lipstick from Holiday collection 2007
Yikes, its hard to pick just one! I'd have to say my MAC Smoking Eyes palette, the 129SE from the Monogram collection (it's gold tone with a charm on the end, so it's like jewelry!) and my Juicy Couture perfumes. The last one because they have charm necklaces on them and the bottle is so beautiful.
I will have to say my Crystal MAC Hello Kitty Mystery Powder compact because it was so expensive and it is wonderful to have such a luxe compact to be carrying around in my purse.
it's tough to choose just one...i'd be devastated to part with any of it...but if i had to, i would say this chanel LE palette from a million years ago with a slightly sparkly black powder that is used to super plumpify lashes by layering with mascara.
Dior Night Diamond Shimmer in Beige - the powder is gorgeous and the packaging is so beautiful. I keep it on my dresser because its so pretty to look at and I put my engagement ring on it every night. I do use it, but only every now and then. A close second would be my collection of DiorKiss glosses (the old 18mL tubes that have been discontinued) - I don't have them all, but it's close!
My YSL Golden Gloss in shade #7. That is my HG lipgloss and I love it!
My MAC Deep Truth eyeshadow...I adore it.
i am obsessed with my bobbi brown BBU palette. the best part about it is that i won it in a bet. go me!
My MAC brushes specifically my 239 brush. Can't live without it.
It's not one piece of makeup in particular, but I would have to say that I get very upset if I don't have my eyeshadows. I feel like my face is so unfinished without them, even if I have on foundation.
definitely all of my MAC brushes. They're such an investment and I have nearly all of them from gifts and saving up. I take such good care of them because I know that they'll last such a long time if I do.
i agree! it's taken me so long to build my brush collection, but i love them. those are my babies for sure
Hmmmm I don't have one most treasured item, but I do tend to be more careful with my more expensive items!!!
My MSF collection, for sure.
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in ZERO...it completely changed the way my eye makeup looks! =D
My coveted Lancome Erika F eyeshadow. My mom lives in Australia and I had her track it down for me.
Definitely my MAC eyeshadows. :D Those are my babies!
If I have to pick one thing, it would be my MAC brushes. They are expensive, but well worth the money. Without them I couldn't do a decent face !!
I agree, I dunno how I ever did make up before my MAc 217!!
Great question mine is My MAC Lip liner!!! I go to sleep with it lol :) twitter name: GV_REDDJOAN •§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§•§
My Dior Elegante quint because it's PERFECTION, and my Guerlain Brunettes bronzer that I bought in Epcot at Disney World.
OOOH there's makeup at Epcot Center? I'll be there in Novemmber!
my #266 brush - my brows are not complete without it - no brows - NO FACE! =)
I have a bunch that are my favorites, but if I had to pick just one, I would have to say my Benefit Erase Paste. I have terrible dark circles, and it does wonders for them. If I leave the house only wearing one thing, it's the Erase Paste. My second favorite would have to be Benefit's That Gal Face Primer.
my 217 brush and 187 and my stereo rose msf (i can see the pan already *shock*)
To pick a few: my Chantecaille collection (all those gorgeous powders and shadows like Protected Paradise and Papillon), my Guerlain Meteorites and Voyage powders and LE eyeshadow quads, my Mac MSFs (including my Stereo Rose and Pleasureflush MSFs), my Dior eyeshadows (they are the best eyeshadows ever), Guerlain Le 2 Mascaras... Basically the beautiful expensive LE items. :)
My feline and indigo kohls. And all my nars blushes and all my lipstick collection.
Guerlain Volga Princess Pallette. I use it everyday, I couldn't go without it, the pink eyeshadow is a magical color.
My eyeliner... I swear I can't leave without it. I love trying different brands to find the best. =D
me too. what's your verdict so far?
Everything that I own (which isn't much :P). This is basically because I put a lot of thought into what I buy and I am indecisive but I need to make sure that decision is perfect and I'm getting my monies worth :D
Right now I really love a blush I got from Rock and Republic called "Spank". It gives me a great flushed look and I love the cool packaging/compact.
My NARS Orgasm/Laguna duo, all my lipglasses, eyeshadows, or my Stila Cobalt Clutch Smudgepot. I can't choose between my babies!
Right now my most treasured product is Bobbi Brown's Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Antigua. With cold and flu season already hitting my area I can go from half dead to healthy looking 2.8 seconds. This and some mascara and I am good to go!
At this moment, my DSquared Mac Lip Erase, I'm in looooove! Our counter only got three in (?!) and I got one. It's perfect, exactly what I hoped for and more! For sure my HG lip product. I seriously haven't been this thrilled over a cosmetic purchase in a long time.
