Beauty Products I Can't Live Without

This post comes as a response to my friend Jessica's blog Beauty Products I Can't Live Without from flatsareforquitters.com.

Jessica is a self-proclaimed beauty product addict/connoisseur. And while I do not claim to be a beauty product professional or connoisseur, or addict by any means whatsoever, I know what I like and I know what works for me.

I'll be honest though, many of the things that I have come to love have come from Jessica's collections and experience with products.  Once they have the "Jess Denomme stamp of approval", I decide to take the plunge for myself!  (Thanks, Jess!!)

So I thought I'd create my own list of beauty products that I simply can't go a day (or two) without using. If I didn't have them, I seriously think I would be lost. Some of them are a bit of a splurge (but so worth it), while others are things you can simply pick up at your local Shoppers, Walmart or Zehrs.

My hope is that something that I have found to love will somehow end up in your collection (or maybe under your Christmas tree!)

  1. love and have tried a lot of those products. My favourite would be the polish. I Love OPI!
    I personally didn't like the false lash mascara as it goes on clumpy... and looked odd on.
    I would go or FIBRE RICH my MAC any day. My second would be False Lashes by MAC.

    Hope you get all of your wishes in your stocking this year :)

  2. Thank Alysia!
    I double the mascara with Covergirl Lash Blast, and I've never had a problem. Love it!

    Unfortunately everything listed above is already in my collection! I need to come up with a new wish list!
