I’d been searching high and low for my absolute favorite nail polish, and looking with upturned nose at a basket full of other colors, but I just couldn’t pick another one. I knew I had it… somewhere, but where?
I couldn’t stop looking until I found it.
So I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things, that I sometimes carry with me only to later scramble around trying to figure out where that was.
1. OPI Sweet Heart Nail Polish. The perfect combo of neutral (I love this on my fingers and toes) and pretty. (Another great color is Bubble Bath by OPI)
2. It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Product. My hair needs help. This helps.
3. Dior Black Out Mascara. The first time I tried this, I knew I could never go back. Never back to my usual drugstore mascara that gets dry and clumpy. This one is so smooth, so thick… and makes my lashes look the same.
4. Smith’s Rosebud Salve. I use it on everything. Lips, cuticles, cuts. Love it.
5. NARS Bronzing Powder. The one powder that goes on smooth, isn’t cakey and makes me look like I’ve been at the beach.
Now it’s your turn… what are some of your favorite ‘products’ to have close by?

Love OPI polishes. I always have Purell hand sanitizer, almost any kind of hand lotion, and pony tail holders.

Great name brand choices. You know your stuff. What do you recommend for cover up under the eyes? Or foundation? I have yet to find a good one.

I am a nut for Burt’s Bees. I try to not put anything artificial on my body. I use their orange face wash, carrot creme moisturizer, both of their face scrubs, and of course their lip balm. I also use the foot cream, bug repellant, hand salve, and other things too. Told you I was nutty for Burt. lol
I have been looking for a new mascara, thanks. 🙂

I like that nail polish color! I always have lip gloss, usually Burt’s Bees, but I have many brands. And a hairbrush – but I think I might want to try out that miracle hair product you have there – my hair could use some help too!

crest toothpaste, Krispy Kreme SMOOTH coffee, Maybelline Eyebrow pencil and waterproof mascara(mine don’t show up, I’m blonde)…and my L’Oreal mousse (don’t want any flat hair)…

hi thanks for your comment on my blog! In response to your question, VGNO stands for “Virtual Girls Night Out” and if you click the link in my blog post about it, it will take you to the blog that started it all – The idea behind it is to meet other bloggers. You “blog hop” from one person on the list to another and “party”. It’s kinda fun! I’ve met some really cool bloggers that way! 🙂

I love my MK mineral powder. My skin does not wear foundation well and the mineral powder covers like a foundation. The reason I like MK is because of the way it goes on- very smooth.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and helping w/my decision on whether or not to redshirt my son!

Dior Mascara makes my heart pitter patter. It’s the best mascara ever.
Muthering Heights says
I absolutely HAVE to have my clinique skin care products, and my Victoria’s Secret lotion/body spray!
Briony says
i love love love rosebud salve and i totally agree with you about the Dior Black mascara…i bought it my last trip to sephora and i can’t imagine going back to the drugstore kind.
Tooj says
Lately I’ve been slacking on my own “must haves”, but I always have a chapstick. And a nail file and clippers. I just ran out of mascara so I might try this brand, thanks for the tip.
