In 2010, I did something completely out of character. I shopped the heck out of Sephora, Ulta, Target, and Walgreens, and tried on everything that I could get my grubby, little hands on. I admit that it was borderline ridiculous and there were a lot of duds, but now I can compile a list of staple products that I know I will go back to. Phew. This will also be handy when I need to replenish my supply. (^ ^)

Anastasia Bro Powder Duo in Medium Ash and Perfect Brow Pencil also in Medium Ash

Benefit BADgal Waterproof Mascara

Dior Best in Show Mini Mascara Duo

Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in Black Coffee

Urban Decay Ink for Eyes in Demolition

Benefit Stay Don’t Stray

Josie Maran Cream Blush in Sunrise

Benefit Boxed Powders Collection. I kind of fell in love with the boxed powders. I have Hoola, Dandelion, and CORALista so far. I think Sugarbomb will be next on my list.

Nars Sheer Matte Foundation in Deauville. I’m going to pick this up in Fiji when the weather gets warmer.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream For Face SPF 55 PA+++.

Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder. Much better than all of that ridiculous rice paper I used for years.

Amazing Concealer in Light Golden

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder

Buxom Lips in Bunny

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait.

MAC lipsticks in Please Me and Politely Pink.

Now I am on the hunt for a reliable tinted moisturizer. Liquid foundation can be a bit heavy for daily wear. I HATE powder foundation–they tend to make me look 10 years older. ㅠ.ㅠ
