I am looking to see what products you have discovered that are so super-fantastic that you are no longer looking to best it. What holy grails are hiding in your beauty bag-o-tricks?

Oooh, good poll! smile.gif

Mine:
-Mascara: Bourjois Volume Glamour
-Body wash: Philosophy 3-in-1s
-Deodorant: Fresh Sugar
-Blush: Tarte gel stick (I use Flush)
-Face lotion: Alpha Hydroxy Souffle (This hasn't totally unclogged my skin or anything, but I do notice it looks and feels much smoother, so no more bumps!)
-Nail polish: NYC (Only $1 a bottle)

I'm forever on the hunt for the perfect concealor, but I have yet to find it!

I like to try out new products all the time so it's hard for me to have only one HG in any particular catergory, but I stopped looking for an HG deodarant after I found Fresh Roll-On sugar.

Here are mine:

Maybelline Great Lash mascara in Blackest Black
Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten (my go-to shade when I feel like having a little more makeup on without getting into different colors)
Nars blush in Orgasm--I know it's on every list and whatnot, but I still love the stuff.

chapstick: ganache for lips- chocolate mint or choc. raspberry- $4 a pop and the only thing that really heals my lips
lipstick: Nars is my absolute favorite, and Labello chapstick in cherry kiss for red stained lips.
blush: Tarte in blushing bride, nars orgasm in the summer
hair: I love bumble and bumble, Fresh, and Phyto. Phyto 9 is an amazing leave in conditioner. I really like the Does it All and Brilliantine Bumble styling products. The fresh meadowfoam conditioner is really good too.
Lotion: Soy milk lotion by archipelago botanicals. genius. I also use their shower gel.
Candles: La compagnie de provence in figue, diptyque in baies or feu de bois

Those are probably the only products i'd buy over and over again, regardless of the cost.

moisturizer: I just went back to Aveeno skin brightening and I forgot how much I love it!
blush: I am with the others about Tarte. My favorites are flush and dollface.
tools: Shu Uemura lash curler & tweezerman tweezers are totally worth the hype. Essence of Beauty brushes are cheap but awesome
eyeshadow: I am committed to all things Stila
lipstick: Revlon Shiny Sheers are pretty awesome, and they last a while
hair: Sebastian shaper hairspray

ETA: I forgot to add MaMa lotion under skincare. It does a great job of fading freckles, etc

really love the following:
  • Kiehls blue herbal moisturizer - it keeps the oil away through most of the day
  • Hylexin under eye cream - keeps dark circles away
  • Boscia willow bark breakout treatment - brings pimples out instead of drying it
  • T Le Clerc pressed powder in banana - natural and brightens my skin tone
  • Clean & Clear continuous control acne cleanser - 10% benzoyl proxide does a good job of keeping pimples away
I'm in desperate need of a good foundation hence my post!!
