Urban Decay Metal Eye Sheen

My Favorite!

I wear this almost every day. Apply lightly w/ a finger for a sheer wash that picks up light (esp. when you didn't get enough sleep). Layer on for a pretty -not glittery- smooth metallic look. Really lights up your eyes. Doesn't crease and stays in place through a 12 hour shift.

Revlon ColorStay Nail Enamel

stays put

My hands are constantly in water and no other polish has ever stayed like this. Two coats of color, one of topcoat and, I swear, you are good for a week. Works even better if you hold the brush straight up after wiping nearly all the polish off on the top of the bottle and use the long side of the brush to sweep a light coat on the front edges of your nails; topcoat,too. This is easier if you do it before doing the tops of your nails so you can wipe off any tiny drops so it's all nice and smooth. This seals the front so water,etc. doesn't get in and make it chip.

CoverGirl VolumeExact Mascara

tried it all- this is the best

My favorite used to be Lancome until I found this. Drugstore price, will not clump even if you put on several coats. Doesn't flake off, even on lower lashes. Can't beat the price!

Benefit moon beam

glow in a bottle

This is packaged like nail polish- easy to apply to eyes, cheeks, etc. for subtle pinky-peach highlights. I mix it in with my moisturizer and a drop of bronzer for a perfect tinted moisturizer. (when I wrote this, the photo above showed a powder blush; it's actually a small bottle, easy to throw in my purse)

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

The Best-

I wear a lot of cream shadows and use dark powder shadows as liner. The cream used to crease and slide, the powder would flake and smear. Primer Potion goes on smooth, let it dry for a minute, then the cream and powder shadows go on and stay on.
