UDPP - gotta have it, don't know how I ever lived without it. keeps my eyeshadow on til I want to take it off
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack - gotta love it, nice dark black line that stays on for a long time, even on the waterline & for tightlining. The other colors are fun, I have a few, but black is a neccessity.

 

[Hanne]

angel did you read the post about UDPP ..and how to get every single last bit of potion out of the bottle ?
The curves of the UDPP bottle really sucks because it leads to a ton of wastage.. you're actually throwing out 1/2 the product unless you saw the bottle in half (once there's no more on the wand.. ) and transfere the rest to a small container..

..I wish I could direct you to the post (with picture proff and all..)..but I can't find the post for the life of me..

Vichy Skinset moisturizer (I got it from my brother and have never seen it in stores... Does anyone know if it's discontinued?)
Jane Be Pure mineral powder (I was amazed that a $6-product can make my skin look so good. It's very light and non-comedogenic too)

Shu Uemura primer

Do you mean the mousse primer w. UVA aris?
I had that one.. and it was okay, but not spectacular on me.

 

[aris]

yes, that one! I love it - but this summer when I was in LA it didn't work the same as in Europe - maybe it was too humid?
Love Shu Uemura everything!
But have you tried the SK II air foundation? that is amazing!
