My essentials are the five beauty items that if I couldn't have anything else, would be enough. I'm a product junkie. I love to try new products, new colors and new formulas. The thought of only using five products forever, is a bit scary. Double or even triple duty products would be key.
My five are:
- Face lotion with spf 50 - I like Neutrogena Healthy Defense because it's not too thick, chalky and greasy. I wear lotion with spf every day. It can do triple duty as tinted moisturizer (see below) and as a makeup remover. A small amount rubbed in with your fingers and a wet cloth can remove eye makeup.
- Eye cream - Mary Kay Age Fighting Eye Cream is my pick because it sinks in quickly but it rich.
- Concealer - I can't live without Cle de Peau Beute concealer. I have very dark circles (heredity) and it is the best concealer I've ever used. It's pricey but lasts forever. Thinned with a bit of lotion, it could also be used as a tinted moisturizer.
- Mascara - Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara is lengthens and thickens but isn't clumpy. I could do double duty as eyeliner.
- Tinted lip balm - Mary Kay tinted lip balm has spf 15 and comes it great colors (Blush is shown in the picture below). It could do triple duty as lip, cheek and eye color.
