The One And Only

The One And Only Tag

I’ve seen this tag a few times and thought I would give it a try. It actually wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be!

The Question: If you could only have one ______ what would it be? And, in a few words, why?

So here goes:

Primer – Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15. The best primer I have ever used. Keeps oil away and it’s super light.

Base Product – Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H. I wear 460 Suede W. Builds to full coverage without ever looking heavy.  It lasts for several hours; even through sweat.

Concealer – NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Caramel. Another long-lasting product with a beautiful finish.

Powder – YSL Beauty Poudre sur Mesure in shade 3 amber.

Blush (cream or powder) – MAC Gingerly. It’s great for everyday wear and can be applied more intensely.

Bronzer – Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-Made Bronzing Powder in Moyen-Brunettes. It’s a great matte bronzer and with 4 individual shades, it can double as eyeshadow as well.

Highlighter – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant Light. Ready-made glow in a compact.

Make-Up Brush (single) – Real Techniques Blush Brush. This is my favorite brush to apply powders with.

Eyebrow Product – Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Soft Brown.

Eyeshadow (single) – MAC Smut. I love using this for smokey eyes.

Eyeliner – SEPHORA COLLECTION Long-Lasting 12HR Wear Eye Liner in Black. I would actually choose Inglot Gel Liner in 77  but I wouldn’t have a brush to apply it. The Sephora liner is a close second.

Mascara – MAC In Extreme Dimension Lash. Applying this mascara is almost like applying false lashes. It’s amazing.

Lipstick, Lip Gloss or Lip Stain – MAC Ample Pink Plushglass. My favorite nude.

Lip Liner – MAC Beet.

Lip Balm – EOS Lip Balm in Sweet Mint. It smells amazing and keeps my lips soft.

Nail Polish – Essie Muchi Muchi. It’s a beautiful sheer pastel pink.

I tag anyone who wants to give it a go!

Lip Care

I love bold color for lips.  With that said, I have to keep my lips free of dry skin and moisturized to insure a great application. Here are the two products I use to keep them in shape:

Lush Mint Julips

Lush Mint Julips

This lip scrub has been a great addition to my routine.  It contains fresh peppermint and sweet castor sugar.  It works well, removing dead and dry skin from the lips, leaving them feeling smooth.  I’ve noticed over time, it’s helped diminish some discoloration my lips have.

EOS Lip Balm

EOS Lip Balm

After exfoliating lips, it’s important to apply a lip balm to maintain the smoothness of the lips.  The Evolution of Smooth Lip Balm is my favorite.  There are quite a few flavors to choose from, It applies quickly and lasts for at least an hour on me.  It probably lasts even longer for others as I tend to drink water often, which is also important in the skin’s overall health.
