I’m so glad to know you like them both. Mind you, with cosmetic companies failing or choosing to close up shop, I worry that EA might be one of those that soon shuts down (it’s a long time since it was really popular or “cutting edge”) and then there will be no more Lip Fix (or their eye makeup remover!).

Make-up wise I haven’t discovered a new true staple since MAC Veluxe Brow Pencil… I would have never believed that I would stray away from my beloved tear drop pencils to a classic one… but here we are 2-3 years later…

Skincare wise it’s the Paula’s Choice 25% AHA 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel. I’m usually not a fan of sitting down with a mask, but I love the effects. I switched from my routine of many years (5 days a week 2% BHA, 2 days 10% AHA) to using the peel once a week and the BHA the other days.

Hmmm, hard to answer as every product that I’d like to be a staple has ended up no longer being available, like Treats Traditions Pure Serenity Shimmering Body Cream (will so miss) and others in their line. So right now, I can’t think of anything that’s a staple that I’ve replaced. It looks like PMG’s Skin Fetish Sublime Foundation will be the first, as I am more than half way through the bottle.

Hard question for me to answer simply because I don’t remember exactly when I began using certain staple products, that’s how long I’ve been using those! Which says a LOT about their quality, doesn’t it? Here’s a few ride or dies: RCMA No Color Powder, Hourglass Dim Light Ambient Lighting powder, Smashbox Always On Eye Pencil in Fishnet, KVD Tattoo Liner in Trooper, MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation, Fenty Hydrating Profilt’r foundation, The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, Buffet, Rose Hip Oil, Youth To The People Eye Dream Cream, Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic Acid & Retinol Eye Serum, Lumene BB cream. Possibly The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalminate Solution 20% w/Vitamin F, or perhaps it will now be Josie Marian Argan Daily Tinted Moisturizer SPF 47?

No doubt about four years ago my Laura Mercier Candleglow #1. No idea why I picked it up, but I did and I’ve gone through about ten of them and have backups in the event it goes by the wayside. The most beautiful, subtle powder that covers as a powder foundation. Love it 🤍 Oh and Revlon Blushing Mauve lipstick, a can’t live without perfect color/feel lipstick. 🤍

I think the latest product would be Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Loose Powder in the shade 01, Mousseline Pastel. Got it on sale really cheap last November and didn’t think much about it, as I had other powders in rotation. Well, my Laura Mercier loose powder finished and I gave thi beauty a real shot. Color me impressed.
It works wonders on my combo/crazy skin. Good for the oily patches and the dry ones. Can’t imagine parting with it.
Others that come to mind are MAC’s Velvet Teddy lipstick and Fix Plus setting spray. Repurchased both recently

NARS Matte foundation. I bought it last year on a whim and because a youtuber I follow ( I believe it was Emily Noel) loved it, and it has ended up being one of my favorite foundations, I just repurchased it.
