I don’t even want to think about it, really, because so many of my “must haves” are discontinued.

I’d certainly replace Dior Jungle, Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush (I think it’s still around but renamed/repackaged) and Sephora Cappuccino pencil liner.

Thanks for the heads up, Nancy, but I’ve never hit pan on an eyeshadow, let alone finished one (I’m closes with Nars Kalahari, Chanel Tisse Rivoli and MAC Tempting but still not even really close) so I don’t think a backup is a real necessity and at Dior’s prices, I need to be judicious! I also need to be sure I don’t lose this one!

Same goes for me with only one exception: MAC Orb. Other than multiple pans of that one lone eyeshadow, I’ve only hit some serious pan MAC Kid and a few of my older e/s’s have pin-dot of pan showing, so I certainly know that our stuff might as well be put in our will for the next gen! Man, my daughter and my son’s two girls are gonna make out like bandits one day, LOL!

MAC Orb (along with Quarry) was the first MAC eyeshadow I ever purchased. I felt so lucky and just kind a special to have those 2 shadows and thought they’d be all I’d ever need (HA!!!). Back then, I only wanted matte shades but after trying Naked Lunch, I was sold on MAC’s frosts and velux pearl shadows. Until then, frosts had been garish offerings from cheap brands but, oh how the flood gates opened when I discovered those finishes from MAC!!!

My foundation, most likely Lancome Teint Idole Care & Glow in 125W.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Medium Brown. I’d prefer a pencil and don’t love ABH products, but the pomade is the only thing I’ve found that doesn’t make my eyebrow hairs fall out.

MAC Love Me lipstick in Tres Blase or NYX Butter Gloss in Sugar Rush.

I would really like a bronzer/blush as well, Natasha Denona’s mini Bronze and Glow to be specific, but the other three are more important.

Laura Mercier Candleglow #1 (it’s been discontinued, but I’ve got backups galore). WinkyLux ph Confetti Lavender lipstick (smells like vanilla, turns my lips a berry/pink shade) Makeup Revolution Contour/highlight palette, I’m in love with 4 of the shades to mix and make the perfect contour/bronzer (who knew! I’d never heard of this brand)

Hmm – now that’s tricky! Only three? Here goes:
1. Maybelline’s Spice for Me lipstick – my all time favourite
2.ND’s Glam
3. L’Oreal’s True Match foundation in porcelain rose

Honourable Mention goes to my Real Techniques brushes, CP’s Foolish/Tea Thyme and CT’s The Rebel 2020.

I would repurchase the Wet N Wild Photo focus Dewy Foundation, Milani Nude Creme lipstick, and I would hunt down the Jackie Aina palette somehow.

Oof, what products don’t I have backups of or alternatives for that are actually still available?! Assuming said backups were also wiped out, I would probably go with the clear lash & brow mascara (aka brow gel with surprisingly good hold) by elf, Clump Crusher waterproof mascara in Very Black (or whatever the blackest shade is. Why do drugstore brands do that?) by CoverGirl, and…so as to not say the same lip gloss…Super Shock highlighter in Stole the Show by ColourPop.

I’d get a mascara (I don’t have any particular one that I like), an eye pencil (a black or a dark brown one), and something for the lips, most likely some MLBB lipstick (again whatever, I don’t have a favourite)

The Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes vol 2 mascara, a moisturizing lip gloss is a must for my dry lips (currently using Givenchy Black pink Liquid balm but could be something else), and most probably the Pat Mcgrath under-eye concealer which I use everytime I wear makeup. I own so much makeup that for anything else, I think I could just use something else from my vast collection of lovely makeup products! I anyway rotate a lot between my blushes, lipsticks and eyeshadows, so there isn’t one that would be an absolute must for me.

MAC Love Me Lipstick in Hey Frenchie! not that it’s possible as it’s DCed, something that makes me a bit upset. I really love everything about this one lipstick. Another one I’d love to replace if it ever got lost or turned bad is UD Lipstick in F-Bomb, also not possible. Sigh!
So on to products I can replace.
MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation, my most used foundation ever.
CT Eyeshadow quad in Uptown Girl. I use it whenever I don’t have a clue what to do with my eye makeup, and that is quite often.
Revitalash eyelash serum. I have stupidly short lashes, that aren’t helped by lengthening mascara so this is a must-have for me.
Honorable mention to the Temptalia eyeshadow palettes and to MAC Satin Taupe.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter in fair, Buxom O Gloss in Dolly and probably Grande Lash MD Lash Enhancing Serum.

1.) My facial, day or night skin creams (with age these are soooo important), no matter the brand.
2.) Eye or face serums (again, with age these are soooo important for moisture), and again, no matter the brand – but in this area I’d want to have the best performing I can afford.
3.) And I think I’d agree with you that after finishing all of my Fenty Fenty Gloss Bombs, I’d replace at least two of them: Glow and Hot Chocolit
