Temptalia Asks You - What five products do you use everyday?

What five products do you use everyday? What products are in your everyday routine?

My list: Cleanser (whatever I am in love wtih or testing), Estee Lauder DayWear Plus moisturizer, mascara (currently testing DiorShow), lip balm (anything I have!), and Studio Fix Fluid foundation. I haven’t had much normalty in my routine lately, because I’ve been doing my best to test new products to review them for you all, so many of my staples have been on the back burner!

1. i think my beauty routine (such as it is) depends on a good base – i use clarins hydramatte lotion, have done for around a year now, and i absolutely love it. its amazing after a hot shower, the lotion is so cool and a tiny bit goes a long way!

2. i’m becoming quite addicted to my mac mineralize satinfinish foundation (nc15 and nw20!) – it makes my skin feel so springy and light, yet i feel covered and even. i usually like to use mineralize skinfinish in light, to set this around the edges.

3. when i was in america i bought a sculpting powder in “sculpt”, i use this daily to contour, i think it suits me perfectly, and i love the definition it gives.

4. because i will have put on foundation and sculpting powder, i feel the need for blush, a beauty powder or coloured mineralize skinfinish, usually stereo rose, for colour and glow.

5. the best mascara i’ve ever tried, that works perfectly for me, is black plush lash, this completes my 5 essentials – everything else i wear is a bonus!

If I only had 5 beauty products to use everyday, they would be:

– Chanel Hydramax+ Moisturizer
– Lancome Dual Finish compact
– Lorac blush in Plum
– Chanel Glossimer in Spark
– L’Oreal Original Voluminous Mascara

But really, who can live with just 5?! 😀
