On like everything!

Make-up, hair products, anti wrinkle cream, moisturizer. Why do you love them?

I really need to get out of my rut of using the same boring stuff.
 
I generally only buy Aussie hair products and Physicians Formula makeup, because they are cruelty-free.

I did buy some Younique fiber mascara from Tara's party a few months ago...it's fun for a change of pace, but I only wear it if I'm dressing up for something.
 
Okay here we go:

Make-up:
Foundation: Loreal Nude Magic Liquid Powder and Revlon Colorstay Whipped
Powder: Right now loving the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders, pricey but gorgeous
Eyeshadow: I am using my LORAC Pro Palette and then MAC Shroom, Silver Ring and then MORPHE shadows ($2 per shadow and they are as good if not better than MAC!)
Concealer:Haven't found a holy grail yet but Loreal True Match seems to be working well right now. I use the Warm 1-2-3 which is yellow tone to counteract dark circles.
Blush:Makeup Geek in Bliss, soft peach. And I love Milani Baked Blushes (Luminoso is a good dupe for NARS Orgasm)
Lipstick/Lipgloss:Not really rocking gloss these days but for lipstick I am wearing MAC Please Me (matte pink) and NYX Thalia (rosy plum/pink). I also love my Fleur D'Coral from MAC but it is limited edition. For brights, I wear either Maybelline Vivids Infra-Red or Milani Rose Hip. Super saturated red and pink

Skincare:
I am using Ole Henriksen skincare. I love their sheer transformation moisturizer and then I use their brightening serum in the morning and their night repair one at night. They also have a great moisturizer with sunscreen I use during the day. Still haven't found a good eye cream.

Haircare:
I have thick wavy/curly hair that I just chopped off to my shoulders. I use Organix Argan Shampoo and whatever conditioner I have on hand. Dry shampoo is Not Your Mother's Clean Freak. I just bought it and love it. No white cast. Other than that, I don't use much.
 
I don't wear much makeup, but my fave is MAC MatchMaster foundation. It's a liquid foundation, feels like I'm wearing no makeup at all. I'd usually skip my concealer (also from MAC, Studio Sculpt) if I'm lazy & just wear it alone. Then, dab on some lipstick and I can go out.

I am currently in the process of switching over to more natural products, but one thing I refuse to leave behind is my Younique 3D Fibre lash mascara. It is amaze-balls! 😃
 
I love Lancome's Teint Miracle make-up, it is fluid and turns in such a powder on a skin... the best I have ever had. Well, I love Lancome so much... HYPNOSE mascara (the classic one, I never fell in love with all the curled brushes) and their fragrances as well :)
 
DRUGSTORE:
I am totally in love with Revlon's ColorStay Liquid Foundation. I was about ready to spend $40 on fancy foundation until I decided to try it based on tons of beauty blogger reviews. It has amazing coverage, really does last all day, and when applied correctly (with my stippling brush), leaves such a smooth finish! I use the dry skin formula, but I know people with oily skin rave over the oily skin formula too.

I have dark circles under my eyes. It's always been my "problem" area. I've tried countless under eye concealers (including super pricey ones I returned to Sephora). I LOVE the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser in Neutralizer. The texture is wonderful and it leaves a smooth finish and it cancels out my circles and leave my under eye looking bright.

BEAUTY STORE:
Eyeliner - absolutely cannot live without my Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner!! The very best pen liquid liner I've ever tried and I've tried a LOT!

For a pencil, smudgeable liner, this Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil is my fave!

I bought the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette last year and it's now the ONLY eyeshadow I ever use.
 
Hair: Hebal Essences (color and long term relationship) occasionally Organix tee tree (helps with psoriasis)

Skin care: Mary Kay time wise set (cleanser, moisturizer, day/night formula), clear proof acne treatment gel for breakouts

Foundation: Mary Kay CC cream or primer and mineral powder foundation
Makeup: Mary Kay mineral powders, cream eye shadow & gel eyeliner LOVE them
Or MAC
Mascara: Mary Kay ultimate & maybelline
Lipgloss: love love the Mary Kay nourish shine glosses

I do use primarily Mary Kay. I am also a consultant but would not be of I didn't love the product so much. I used to have breakouts like horrible and since I started using them I have had maybe 3 in almost a year.
 
Skincare: Love love love philosophy's micro delivery peel at the moment. The smoothest my skill every will be. For cleaning I use Sephora's cleansing oil in the green bottle with pump. Does the job! Just put it all over my face after a long day of make up and everything is gone including heavy eye make up. For travel I always get a small bottle of the purity made simple cleanser from philosophy just because it's awesome and so easy to travel with that. Just that mini bottle and a day/night mini cream and i'm good to go for a short trip.

For make up I am hooked on the Too Faced chocolat palette. Love it!! So versatile, smooth and smells like chocolat. For blushes I would say Nars! And for lips the (too expensive) Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks in any color really.
 
I find I have more dark under eye circles over time and have tried a variety of drug store products with mixed results. I recently discovered Bobby Brown concealer cream which is AMAZING -- works incredibly well but very, very, natural looking.
 
I cannot live without Estee Lauder double wear foundation. Several times I tried to switch to other brands and nothing works like double wear. I keep going back to my favorite one.
