I am not one of those women who can go out with no make-up at all and still look and feel gorgeous (but I am on the way, thanks to these guys). In the meanwhile, this is the very minimum I have to wear every day (minus the eye liner). This is how you'll see me when I am dropping off my baby cousins at school, or running to the grocery store because I'm baking something and just realized I'm out of eggs.

I bought the Maybelline foundation and powder just to try them, but frankly, I am very satisfied. Not only do they provide the full coverage I need, but the match is simply the most perfect I've had yet (and I've spent fortunes on department store brands that still didn't match), and the make-up lasts until I wash my face.
I've always been told that my eyes were my best asset, so I've always liked enhancing them with very black mascara. I was blessed with long, full eyelashes (yes, I've never worn fakies... Although I've tried once (understand: "two hours before prom"), and it was a disaster where I pulled out some of my real lashes. Never. Again.
As to my lips, I like to use an inflating lip gloss to give them a little more volume. I think they're slightly too small unless I pout, but well, I can't remember to pout all the time. But the product I use ALL the time is the Rosebud Salve. It's among my all-time favourites.

In a few days, I will be showing my make-up collection, then later on my hair care essentials, since many of you have enjoyed my jewelry closet tour.

Meanwhile, tell me what are your basic products! I'm eager to hear!
