Best beauty/make up product ever

[boobmoob]

I'm trying to slim down my beauty & makeup collection & buy less but buy better.

What products do you love & always come back too?

This is my list

Skyn eye patches
Guerlain bronzer
Mac lipsticks
Khiels olive conditioner

Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, nothing else compares! Everything else is negotiable

Mac Eyebrow Pencil
Nars Concealer
Becca undereye
Laura Mercier brushes

Sunblock 🤷🏻‍♀️

Boobmoob@ just interested I am thinking of doing the same. Are you thinking of buying less but better quality of make up, skin care and hair care etc or just one category?

I only ask as I am tempted to stick with my Clinique make up which I love and feel better using but think in that case I'd need to cut down on skin care, hair care etc.

@citygal1961 across all categories really although I don't buy anywhere near the amount of make up & nail polish I used too.

So in theory one mascara instead of 5 or 1 shampoo I really like as opposed to what's on offer & I end up with a load of half used bottles I don't really like. Doesn't have to be always the most expensive option just a good option. I'm going to try the Ordinary & I've used expensive moisturiser before & not been particularly impressed.

@boobmoob, thanks for this. So for instance, I love Clinique foundation, eyeliner and lipstick but find cheaper blusher and mascara OK. I also like salon shampoo and conditioner and Liz Earle cleanser so would you class all that as extravagant?

Aldi Caviar moisturiser
The Ordinary Niacinamide and Zinc serum - has made a huge difference to my skin texture
Nars orgasm blush
Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation
Anastasia Dip Brow

These are the only 'staples' that I repeat buy. Everything else, I've always got my eye on the next thing. I've tried dozens of foundations but seem to always come back to Double Wear.

Only one I've discovered so far:

Nars Sex Appeal blusher - perfect for pale skin.

Still on the quest for everything else!

Glossier boy brow
Benefit roller lash

Benefit Bang mascara.
Ultrasun tinted sunscreen
Kerastase shampoo and conditioner

Well mine was the bourjois foundation
If anyone knows of a similar product I’d love to see it. I’m running low on my last bottle

Nars creamy concealer

Repeat purchases?

Liz Earle C&P
Vichy Vit C serum
Clinique quickliner for eyes
Dior Pump n Volume mascara
Astral and Nivea

Things that I'm trying for the first time but will be repeat purchases:
Bobbi Brown corrector
Bobbi Brown nude illuminator
Bobbi Brown serum foundation.
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery serum

I splurged on those just before lockdown and this week started playing with them...have had 8 video conferences over yesterday and today and just kept looking at my skin and thinking "oh I look all lovely and glowy"

Hoohah- Sali Hughes says the nearest thing to Health Mix (if it was that one) is Mac Face and Body.

I forget to add No 7 Hydraluminous. I have stockpiled it already.

Purito SafeSun 50+

Not extravagant at all @citygirl1961

Aldi Caviar moisturiser

Im going to try this.

I've just bought fresh sleep mask so can't wait to try that.

Estee Lauder advanced night repair

EL foundation

Urban Decay eye shadow palettes

Nars Orgasm blusher

I'm trying the same, but I have rosacea so I need something.

I'm enjoying Mac F&B foundation, Glossier stretch concealer (a surprise win for me!), Glossier cloud paint, and mascara. Erborian BB cream if my skin needs it. Lips I prefer lipbalm. I'm trying to cultivate a very natural look!

I have so much make up it's shameful. Easily two bags under the bed .

Have spent the last five or six years doing lots of experimenting and now pretty much everything is a regular repeat. The only thing I need to find is a translucent powder.

Unless something gets discontinued or there’s some new miracle ingredient for real, I think I’m good for five years anyway. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to miss borjouis foundation and eyeshadow, wish I had stocked up.
I once used aveda shampoo and conditioner and really liked it. It's next on my purchase list.
I find no 7 translucent powder good.

The best powder was Corn Silk, still can't believe that's gone. I do still have one sealed box left and tempted to eBay it for the amount it sells for these days!

Better than sex, mascara - Too Faced
Squalane cleanser - The Ordinary
Dip brow pomade - Anastasia Beverly Hills

(I used to love double wear este lauder but I recently swapped to the Too Faced, born this way as it’s vegan and a little kinder to the skin! Can really recommend to DW lovers!)
