What are your 4 Secret Weapons you cannot live without?

[Elizabeth of Mason & Mia Cosmetics.]

Well, I personally cannot live without 4 products out of my line, Mason & Mia Cosmetics.Com.

1. Mason & Mia ReTextureCreme Under M/U Primer/Moisturizer :It's an oil-free lightweight luminescent gel/crème that will be your moisturizer AND under make-up primer IN ONE. Excellent for ALL skin types, it will improve your skin's texture, elasticity and moisture retention. You can use it alone, or wear it under your favorite make-up. It just makes your skin radiate, keeps your make up in place all day, thus minimizing time consuming touch ups. All my clients swear by it, & it will become your best friend too.

2. M3M.i.n.e.r.a.l.s Mineral Matte Glow EyeShadow in Indigo ( Navy ) Wetting this with a pointed kolinsky liner brush and creating a languid line on your top lids , everyone will notice how bright & clear your eyes look. I switched from my basic black / gunmetal to navy and I have gotten a lot of compliments.=)

3. M3M.i.n.e.r.a.l.s Mineral Matte Glow Bronzer in Santa Fe : This Bronzer goes beyond the bronze to protect and condition the skin.This velvety powder offers something for everyone. Livens up dull complexions with a soft luminosity. Enhances already tanned skin with a bronzy sheen & evens out skin tone. I adore this bronzer because it looks amazing on any skintone without that orangey sheen/shimmer.

4. Smooth & Sexy Lip Rouge in Dirty Pink : Smooth & Sexy LIP ROUGE.
This one drenches your mouth in a smooth, sexy, super-volumizing color. Deceptively light and comfortable to wear, LIP ROUGE ignites a blast of rich lustrous color. Not like any other lip product it's fabulous, again, all day wear without sacrificing moisture.

Now I would love to know what you all are wearing and your 4 can't live without products.

addicted to the shine.
3. WetnWild or Cargo bronzer

4. Maybelline LashStylist Mascara
makes my lashes look natural but great.
5. Cargo Blush
huge blush tins that last forever.

Great question......

1. Custom blend Foundation by Motives, its colormatched on the spot to me and also have an adjusted formula if I tan....which I don't anymore, unless we go boating more than usual. No more mistakes buying the wrong base for me and its got antioxidants too.
2. Dusky Rose Lipstick by Motives, great natural lip color for me. Goes with everything.
3. Tubular Mascara by Motives, its like instant fake lashes!
4. Custom eyeshadow 6 pan palette by Motives in everyday browns and vanillas, some matte with a few shimmer with one blush in the mix.

As long as I grab these basics I can go anywhere.......for a fifth & sixth product, I'd also definitely need my primer & tinted lip plumper too. Four is not enough!

1. Prescriptives Camouflage Concealer Kit. The kit works great for targeted cover-ups--everything you need is right there in the compact: application brush, concealer in shades that are great for me, and setting powder w/its own brush.
2. L'oreal Self-Tanning Face Wipes. Easiest and quickest way I know for an instant glow & pick-me-up.
3. English Ideas used to have a lipstick that was more of a sheer balm--Sephora used to carry it. It's nowhere to be found now, but I loved the natural yet rich look it gave--it was more moisturizing than Origins Bite My Lips and less "stainy" looking. I bought as many as I could when I could!
4. Stila eye shadow pots. Great for lining eyes w/the flat tipped brush. The pigments are rich, too, so a little goes a long way.

- NAO Highlighter in Dark
Brightens up my face and just makes me look so well rested (even on long days).

- NAO Blush in Smitten
Very long lasting blush.

- Artistry Waterproof Mascara in Black
One of my favorite mascaras ever.

- Artistry Oil Control Foundation
Seriously controls oil and doesn't rub off even in the most hottest/stickiest conditions.

1. Avon Daring Curves mascara in Black Waterproof ~ This is the very best mascara I've ever tried. Right out of the bottle it is clump free and so light and smooth. A must for everyday wear.

2. Avon Plumping Lipcolor SPF 15 in Raisinette ~ Such a flattering color for all skin types. Plus it goes on smooth, lasts all day, and really plumps your lips.

3. Mark Powder Buff Natural Skin foundation in buff ~ This is the absolute best powder foundation! Its smooth and provides blendable, buildable coverage that looks oh so natural.

4. Avon Ideal Shade Smooth Mineral Makeup in Sand Beige ~ Our newest and greatest line of mineral makeup. Milled to superfine and super smooth consistency, it blends like a dream. So easy to use and is completely natural.

My four favorite products are:
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Mascara - a great mascara that doesn't burn my eyes or cause me to tear up. It gives me great length which I love. No clumping is a MAJOR +

Clinique Superbalm Gloss in Rootbeer - A perfect nude for me. This gloss has a ton of moisture and the shine is very sexy. I love the fact that I don't necessarily need a lipliner when I wear this gloss.

Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum - After a few weeks this serum really does smooth skin and make pores look smaller.

Nars Orgasm Blush - Very pretty on and I love the subtle glow it gives me.

I bookmarked your site Mason and Mia, I can't wait to see the products because I know I'll see something I want and of course buy it, lol.

Great post! Let me think.

Mine are:
1. Urban Decay Primer Potion: I never used to use a primer for my eye makeup before, but the last time I was in the city, I swung into Sephora and decided to splurge. Best buy ever! I use the eeensiest bit of this, let it dry for a split secon (I usually put my blush on while it dries) then apply my shadow. It helps it go on so smooth, makes the colors much more vibrant, and it doesn't budge til I remove it at night! I will be buying more of this! It's a must have!

2. MAC eyeshadow: Every finish, and every shade from neutrals to neon, this is the best stuff around. applies like a dream, and the color combos are endless!

3. Everyday Minerals foundation: I never used to wear foundation, since I didn't really have problems with my skin, and it always felt cakey on me, but with the new mineral craze I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the beginner sample set for a very reasonable price, and what a purchase. I wear this, and even though I've never had skin issues, it makes me look more radiant without looking like I'm wearing makeup!

4. MAC lustreglass: A little less sticky than the original tinted lipglass, and even more shiny. I love the smooth texture, and the great shades. It still lasts as long I've found. Love Nectar is my new addiction!

I can't live without Diorshow Mascara, NARS blush in orgasm, NARS lipgloss in striptease, and MAC eyeshadows.

My 4 are:
1. MK Signature Eye Primer I have oily skin especially on my eyelids so if I didn't use this my eye makeup would last about an hour.

2. MK Signature Facial Highlighting Pen I love this product! I use it like a concealer under eyes and to cover light blemishes. It's thiner than concealer but it reflects light so it's perfect under eyes.

3. Mary Kay Timewise Lip Primer I can't put on lipstick or lip gloss with out using this fist. It creates the perfect finish and my lip color lasts longer.

4. Mary Kay Mineral Bronzing Powder (Desert Sun) I just started using this and I don't know how I lived without it. Quick way to get a little glow. I love the shimmer.

[Barbara Siragusa]

My number one ( which of course is discontinued already! ) is a blue MAC lip glass. When the girl in the store showed it to me, I thought it would be horrid,but over any lipstick from red to pink, it looks amazing! I wish I had bought more now!

My number 2 is Cargo blush.

3 would be Magic lash enhancer

If I have to choose for the last one it would be Guerlain mascara

But I have lots more favorites!
