So I was challenged by two absolutely beautiful bloggers Jacqueline and Karen to do this tag and I couldn’t be more excited! Definitely check out their blogs, their posts are incredible and they are the biggest sweethearts! Although it does make me sad to have to think about losing my entire makeup collection! =( Hahaha but nevertheless it really made me think long and hard about what my absolute makeup essentials are! I thought the best way to do this would be to break it down into smaller categories and pick out my favourites from each one.
I included collection sets as being one item (that’s not cheating right? hehehe). Now onto my sixteen picks…
♡ Foundation/BB cream – Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream (Review)
♡ Face/Setting powder – Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder
♡ Blush – CandyDoll Cheek Colour (Review)
♡ Highlighter – Too Faced Candlelight Glow
♡ Bronzer – Too Faced The Bronzed & The Beautiful French Riviera Edition
♡ Eyebrows – Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo
♡ Eyeshadow primer – Too Faced Shadow Insurance
♡ Eyeshadows – Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette & Naked 3 Palette
♡ Mascara – CoverGirl Lashblast Mascara (sorry it’s not in the picture, I haven’t repurchased yet ><)
♡ Lipsticks – Revlon Lip Butter & Too Faced La Creme Lipstick
♡ Lip tint – I Want Shining Crystal Lip Tint & Aritaum Honey Melting Tint (Review)
♡ Lip gloss – Majolica Majorca Honey Plump Gloss Neo
♡ Tools – Real Techniques Core Collections (Face & Eyes)
➳ So while I’m editing this post, I realised I completely missed out on an eyeliner and eyeliners are one of my necessary items. Oh gosh.. what thinking about losing your collection and having to start over does to you! Unbelievable. =(
This was such a hard tag to do but it really did make me think a lot! I definitely know that I missed out so many items (like an eyeliner)! As always, I’m tagging everyone who wants to do this to do it. =) It’s a great challenge and I can’t wait to see what your picks are!
please check out my last post! a valentines day look! x

i have several neutral palettes. I got a knockoff Naked 3 one that I usually pair with Too Faced’s Boudoir eyes. But i also just got a knockoff of the basics palette and those are really nice soft colors. I also got a nyx neutral palette and a book of eyeshadows from pixi that seems to have really pretty colors.

Such an interesting tag! I think I’ll be taking it on, too 🙂 Do you need to limit your choice to 16 items then? Are there set categories or do you just pick what you could absolutely not live without at the moment?
