My Makeup Essentials

Ever since I developed interest in beauty products and skin care at the wee age of 13, I've need to have certain items in stock. Of course these aren't the only products I use (I do like variety) or the only ones I've tried throughout the years, but the ones I need to survive at the moment.

MAC Mineralize SatinFinish SPF 15 Foundation ($30): I picked up this bad boy when I got my makeup done for prom, and I don't regret it a bit. This gives you full coverage without all the heavy consistency that clogs pores. Just dab some on and spread with either a brush or sponge (you can even use your fingers if you like) and VIOLA! a perfect face for any occasion.

Benefit Erase Paste in No. 2 ($26): My younger sister Lorraine actually got me into this little potted piece of heaven and I thank her for it. This concealer is thick, so you can only use a bit on each eye or else you'll suffer from the dreaded cake face. Because of this, the pot will last you for a long time. Trust me, I've had mine since early August and it hasn't dried out. My only ugh is that it is not long lasting, so powder well!

Benefit Benetint ($29): This is honestly the best thing since sliced bread. This is a rose tinted and smelling stain that can either go on your cheeks or on your lips. Personally, I just leave it on my cheeks for a natural glow.

Mascara: No-brainer make up as it gives a little color to your eyes without the hassle. I don't like splurging on mascara (it should be thrown out after six months in order to avoid any illness), so I like using Estee Lauder and Clinique samples.

So, what can't you live without? Have you tried any of these products? Let me know below!
