I probably have attachment issues. I can’t let go of the three main products I use, and I mean I’ve used the same products for several years now. It’s that whole “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” theory – I’m happy with the makeup I’ve been using, so why search for something new? The only product that changes for me is mascara. I am constantly on the hunt for something that thickens and lengthens my eyelashes (hint: suggestions are welcomed!). My friends think this is boring, but I’m perfectly happy with it. What are these three products I swear my life on, you ask?
Maybelline Water Proof Liquid Eyeliner
Maybelline Water Proof Liquid Eyeliner
This little guy doesn’t even budge regardless of how many hours it’s on your eyelids.
People always ask how I can line my top lids so well and smoothly and I give entire credit to this product.
N.Y.C Blush

I buy this in “Pink Cheek Glow” for my blush and it, like the eyeliner, stays on all day.
It also helps that it’s only $5.
Trucco Eyeshadow

I get this in “California Girl” and it’s a light shimmer that highlights my eyes.
I don’t like to look like I have eyeshadow on since my eyeliner can be kind of heavy,
but this makes it shimmer just a bit while creating a base incase I want another shade over it,
or just to help my eyeliner stay extra long.
Is there a product you just can’t seem to let go of? Do you change your makeup a lot or stay with several tried and true pieces?

smash box concealer.
guest
bareMinerals Mineral Veil, Revlon Colorstay eyeliner, MAC LoudLASH mascara, and my OLD NAVY french vanilla mint flavored lip balm (perfect ‘taste’ for the Holidays). Been using these for a few years now.
guest
My cherry flavored Vaseline chapstick and MAC concealer.

It’s one simple thing for my lips. Blistex Lip Ointment. Especially now that the air is so dry.
Mascara: Voluminous Mascara (has to have the curved brush) by Loreal.
Moisturizer: Dramatically Different Moisturizer by Clinique.
guest
my CG perfect point plus eyeliner!
guest
If after putting on a layer of mascara go over with 2 or 3 or 4 coats letting it dry in between each layer for thick almost fake eyelashes. I use Maybelline XXL Curl Power side 1 (1 layer) then go over it with CoverGirl LashBlast (5 layers) the combo makes my lashes soft and silky smooth.
My can’t live withouts:
1. Mascara(CG and Maybelline)
2. Avon 8-n-1 eye palette
3. Mary Kay Miracle Skin Care
4.Neutrogena Lip Gloss (Sheer)
5. Sophia Kashuk Brushes (the softest ever!)
guest
Chapstick.
guest
if you’re looking for a mascara that lengthens and thickens, the best one i have found is, maybillene volume express
it really works great, it’s the best i have and im always getting compliments on my eyelashes being long and full.
also this one works but it made me feel like i had TOO much makeup on, it works great nonetheless
loreal volume shocking mascara:
good luck!
guest
well i dont changed my make ups brands..unless i have to=] thisand of course, it is always important to get a good make up products. =p
guest
I freak out when I can’t find my Burt’s Bees. Due to having sensitive lips, no other brand seems to work for me.
Nivea for skin care, haha.
guest
My burt’s bees.
Big Fatty mascara by Urban Decay is pretty fabulous.
guest
The one thing i always buy over and over is also my eye liner but mine is L’OREAL – Lineur Intense and its liquid, it too stays on all day, i has never failed me. Im also on the hunt for good mascara, i really like one by maybelline “The Colossal” volum express, only bad thing about it is that it smells very chemically when you first use open it.

Hey, I have that Maybelline eyeliner, too!
To me it doesn’t that well. It smudges when I get home and leaves my eyelids tainted black by the time I get home. Is it because my skin is too oily and it starts to melt off? O_o
guest
I am still on the hunt for the perfect products, but right now I cannot let go of the maybelline pure make up. Its cheap, its wonderful, and it works.
guest
Chapstick or some variation thereof. I don’t do make up.

You’re top three tell me you’re into the natural look
I like your choices. I might just have to try them.
I can’t let go of any of my makeup. It’s just too hard. I don’t always wear them, but the fact that I wear them at all makes me want to keep them forever. I have a lot of mascara. I am for volume, the more the merrier. My favorite mascara is Maybelline xxl
guest
Lip balm and lip gloss. That’s all the makeup I wear and I can’t live without them.
guest
i cannot live without:
my chapstick, most important thing ever, i’d die without it…
and my black eyeliner and mascara from maybelline…
i love the turbo boost that volume express comes with now, and i plan to try the colossal when i run out of my current mascara…. but if it’s just everyday, me going to work or school.. i like to wear great lash, it’s the perfect amount of definition and length for a simple, don’t need to look overly fabulous day…
guest
The best mascara I would say would be “Katie B.” You can only order it
online. Her website is http://www.katiebco.com and its called faux
lash mascara. Her mascara does not weigh down the lashes and keep them
up. You really should try it!
guest
Burt’s Bees lip balm & lipgloss. I love to change the brands and colours of my lipgloss since there’s always something new on the market. I use whatever skin care cream stuff’s in the house. That could mean Aveeno, Nivea, Neutrogena, Vascaline for the harsh winter or my mom’s Guerlain, Lancome, etc. Even though it’s like superbad stuff for a teen’s skin I suppose?
I really need to think about starting to wear makeup. My face is beginning to get pimples D: and I have pink areas on my face.
Could you maybe write a blog about how to buy make-up for beginners? Just a suggestion. I’d really appreciate it though

me too! i use ZA face powder, and have been doing so for 6 years. everytime i pass by a make up shop, i’ll be like, ‘maybe i should try something else’, but each time i just thought, im so used to ZA, why change it?!
another product i’ve been using for years, Lancome Blusher. i simply cant bear to change to any other brands!
guest
i am always on the search for new products, but i always go back to my MAC concealer! everyday i put concealer, blush bronzer, eyeliner and mascara…..but i have SO much unnecessary makeup!
guest
urban decay’s 24/7 eyeliners..i <3 them so much! now my best friend is obsessed with them too lol
i like to try different brands of makeup but i will always be buying urban decay’s eyeshadow because it’s very pigmented and smooth!

stay buff clinique powder foundation and cover girl lash blast brown are the items in my makeup bag that can always be found. Unless, I get really dark then I have to change the powder foundation. Generally I try to stay with the same kinds of makeup. I’m sometimes a little wary of venturing out of the box.
guest
lip gloss
smackers is cute
guest
i can’t let go of a lot! maybelline turbo boost mascara – waterproof in very black; benefit benetint; blistex lip conditioner; and recently i’ve rediscovered my love for Clinique’s Different Lipstick in Tenderheart.
i think i would experiment with more makeup brands if i had the financial means. but i don’t, so i stick with my tried and true.
guest
Try the Borjuis Clubbing Mascara… it’s really great and doesn’t smudge at all.. cheers~ =)
guest
i love my lancome gloss, i been using it for years and i also love mac factor mascara, its really gooood! =]
guest
mascara suggestion: Maybelline Great Lash. Trust me, I’ve tried everything from the pricey to the less-pricey. This is the best thing that actually works!
I always try new stuff but I stick with bareminerals for foundation. I have very oily skin, so it helps control my breakouts and doesn’t cause them. That’s the one thing I don’t change.
guest
Mineral foundation (specifically bare essentials). It makes my face feel like it just has moisturizer on, but it has great coverage. I get compliments all the time because of it. Also, Vic.Secret “pink slip” lip gloss, so silky, and when you just want some gloss without much color it’s perfect. Or you can put it on top of color and it ads a nice gloss. And yes, I can’t live without mascara. Believe it or not, Mary Kay has great Mascaras. You should try them. One coat coverage too!
guest
If you’re looking for good mascara, I use Benefit BAD Gal mascara. GREAT for lengthening and adding volume, but not so much if you’re looking for curl.
I use it in plum. It’s a good alternative to black, because it’s still dark, it’s not overwhelmingly purple, and looks great with dark eyes. It does its job very well.
I’m also very addicted to my Nars blush. It’s the best stuff I’ve ever put on my face.
guest
Hmmm. The thing is.. what do you do when they stop making the thing you cannot live without?
guest
I like Gap’s Favorite Lip Balm in Lemon Sugar

nivea chapstick (used to be lobello, in the dark blue tube)
i’ve used it for the last 6 years. And i will never change
mabeline mascara. it’s cheap
guest
Collective Wellbeing Beeswax lipbalm. And that’s about it. I don’t use makeup. Especially since I’m only fourteen (and harnessing the effects of puberty–acne-prone skin!).
guest
try clinique high definition, and it washes off amazingly, no after washing raccoon eyes
guest
I never stray from my Mary Kay!
guest
ALL if my makeup is BareMinerals but the three things i cant give up are the mascara, and the foundation they have and the mineral veil cause its a powder sunscreen!!
guest
i could not live without mac studio fix foundation, dior diorshow mascara, and chanel chance perfume. but i’m always looking for new lipgloss and eyeshadow.
guest

i love my red earth blush… i have been using it since i started wearing makeup. and i love the mini mascara by maybelline too, it’s specially designed for asian
as for the other makeups, i don’t mind trying new things. but if i really like certain ones, i tend to stay with them!
guest
covergirl lash blast is awesome!
guest
Haha, Will not let go of my Chapstick [Preferably Burt's Bees]. and Liquid eyeliner scares me.
Won’t let go of Physician’s Formula Bronzer either.

I recently purchased Max Factor’s 2000 Calorie…I know they have an ultra one but I like the simple curved brush. It’s really good and I love the packaging..so legit!
