What is that one (or maybe two?) beauty product/s that you swear by, live by, and if you happen to be running out and you have that exact amount in your bank account, you'll go without food til your next paycheck? (that last part... just kidding. Food is better.)

For me... I have two. Sorry.
1. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturizer. Makes me smell good AND gives me moisture with a glow. Can't beat that.
2. Lucas Paw Paw Balm. Lovely on lips and body.

What about you?

Good question!

I would have to say:

1. Aveda tinted moisturizer -- especially if it's a "no-makeup" day

2. Plain old medicated Blistex. I would freak out if I didn't have lip balm on me at all times

I would have to say...

1. Mascara. I can't stand the thought of not wearing mascara outside the house!

2. Any good lip balm or cream. Right now I'm using Pangaea Organics Wild Lavender & Cardamom (I think) balm, and it's heavenly!

Oh great question!

Aussie Colour Mate Hair Conditioner- it smells so nice and leaves my hair unbelievably soft.

Benefit Thrrrob Blush- the perfect shade of pink with a tiny bit of shine to it. It's easily layered to build up colour and blends very well with a soft blush brush.

L'Occitane 30% shea butter hand cream, my hands get terribly dry, and this seems to be the only stuff that works. I get really uncomfortable without it.

A good buildable powder foundation (currently M.A.C. Mineralize skinfinish natural, my face gets shiny easily and is prone to blemishes.

1. Lush Celestial moisturizer
2. Burt's Bees pomegranate lip balm
I rarely wear makeup, so keeping my skin & lips from freaking out too much is a must.

I second Burt's Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm. I was actually applying it just as I was browsing the forum.

Second product is a good old hair gel. LA Looks Sports Gel. I have very curly hair and all though I like to layer a few products, the gel is a must.

Sadly, my must-have thing is being discontinued. :( I noticed that my drug store stopped selling it awhile ago. I've been able to find it other places, but I think they're discontinuing it. Chapstick brand in strawberry, NOT cherry. :)
Another thing is Clean & Clear Advantage mark treatment. Whenever I get a blemish it clears it up.

And that's really it...I'm pretty low maintenance.

My main one: Jojoba oil. Super cheap, keeps my pores a reasonable size and my skin sucks it up like Superman drinking cola. I carry a dropper around of it with me everywhere for lip balm, eye brightener, and moisturizer.

Number two: Gosh nail polish! It's super cheap, they have a ton of great colours at Shoppers Drug Mart and I've actually found that it wears and applies much better than Essie.

Third on Burt's Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm. I equally like the Peppermint, too, though.
