10 things I would repurchase immediately

If you've ever gotten into watching beauty Youtubers, you'll know that they're a lot like beauty bloggers, except they exclusively produce videos.  I'd say that's how I first got into the world of beauty as a hobby - I watched instructional videos about beauty techniques!  

I have a lot of respect for beauty Youtubers because they do a lot of creative things with their channels.  One thing you'll se pretty often is "tag" videos, where a person comes up with an idea for a video and then tags people so they'll make a similar video.  (These often take the form of a list of some sort.)  

One type of tag video that has floated around is the "10 Things I'd Repurchase."  The idea is simple:  if you were to lose ALL of your makeup collection tomorrow, what would be the first ten things you'd repurchase?

When you have a pretty large collection, this can be a tough question!  (I got mine down to eleven and finally gave up and took out my Sephora crease blending brush.)

Anyway, here are my ten products I would have to IMMEDIATELY repurchase!  (Click on the listed price to purchase.  If the product name is linked, it means I've written about it before and you can click to read.)

1.)  Milk of Magnesia - $9.39 - I've already explained how much I love this product.  I need this as my primer in the morning!

2.)  Skin 79 Super Beblish Balm Pink Label - $13.79 - This is my Holy Grail BB balm (and foundation).  It applies like a dream, stays all day, and doesn't break me out.  It's seriously perfect.  I'm planning an in-depth review, so look for that soon.

3.)  Urban Decay Primer Potion - $9 - This is the sample bottle I received with my #4 item!  Lol.  UDPP is a HG product for many, many people.  It goes on creamy and makes your eyeshadow stay in place all day long!

4.)  Urban Decay Naked palette - $50 - OMGGGG.  Do you have this yet?  If you don't, step away from your computer and drive to the nearest Ulta or Sephora and buy it.  No really, go.  I'll wait.  Ok, you're back?  Good.  Seriously - it is amazing.  This is the ONLY palette you need if you want nice, neutral looks or smokey dramatic eyes.  You can't go wrong with nudes and neutrals.

5.)  Benefit Coralista Boxed Blush - $28 - This blush is so lovely.  Trust me - it was a toss up between this one and NARS Orgasm blush.  However, I picked this one since it has an included brush and if I lost everything in my stash I would need a brush!  

6.)  Too Faced Caribbean in a Compact Snow Bunny Bronzer - $29 - This is the best bronzer I've ever come across.  It has four stripes of color which keeps it from being too orangey.  This is my HG bronzer and I couldn't be happier with it.  I would have to replace it!

7.)  Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Strawburn - $22 - I've talked about this baby before.  I need it, have to have it, can't live without it anymore.

8.)  Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner in Demolition - $19 - Wow, 30% of the products on this list are UD!  They really are my favorite brand EVER!  This color smudges easily and stays all day long.  I really love how easy it is to apply without tugging or dragging.

9.)  Fairy Drops Scandal Queen mascara - $24 - This is one of my biggest indulgences.  It's just too amazing and makes my eyelashes look a million miles long.  Review forthcoming, I promise!  

10.)  Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - $19 - I had used a cheap, terrible eyelash curler for six years (SIX YEARS, Y'ALL!) before I purchased this one.  I knew I deserved it, after using crap for so long.  Beauty bloggers all over the internet sing the praises of this baby and for good reason.  It's so good that it's unreal.  You can create incredibly dramatic curls with it.

So there you have it!  These are the 10 products that I'd have to replace right away if I lost them!

What are your top ten?  Let me know!  Do we have any in common?  Would you choose more face products or more eye products?

XOXO

Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil is a perfect fit!

Unfortunately, beauty isn't all sparkly eyeshadows and dramatic lipsticks.  Sometimes, it's about perfecting or enhancing our natural selves in a way that SHOULD be unnoticeable.  

One of those areas is eyebrows.  Eyebrows don't usually get noticed unless they're really messed up.  Too bushy or too sparse can look just WRONG.  Of course, we should note that my favorite celebrity eyebrows belong to Stephen Colbert!  *swoon*

That's why brow powders and brow pencils should be an integral part of any beauty maven's arsenal.  I recently snapped up the Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil that was mentioned in THIS post.

I chose Strawburn to match my newly-acquired red hair.  The pencil is 0.1 oz for $22 and I imagine this is going to last me a full year.  You don't use much brow pencil each day so you get a lot of bang for your buck.  

Sure, you could grab a cheaper eyeliner and use that, but unfortunately my color is difficult to match.  Trust me, I scoured the Internet looking for dupes and there just weren't any for Strawburn.

This pencil blends easily and looks very natural on me.  I have sparse brows due to over-plucking (sorry, beauty gods!) and this helps fill in the patchy places.  Don't go too heavy right at first - the trick is to build and make it look natural.

I use the spoolie on the end of the pencil to brush brows up.  Then, I drag the spoolie in the direction of the hair growth to brush the eyebrow hair down.  Then, I fill in my brows with the pencil starting at the top part of the arch in your brow.  Don't start at the very center - it can cause you to look REALLY off-balance.  If you have unruly brows, you can set them with gel.  My brows are pretty tame, so I can do without that step.

Do you need this?  It depends.  If you have a hard-to-match hair you might want to see if Anastasia has a match for you.  Plus, none of these pencils are too terribly dark, which helps prevent you from going overboard.  You may get away with a cheap-o drugstore pencil but it might look unnatural.  Plus, although $22 might seem steep, you'll be using this forever!

You can purchase HERE or in Sephora stores.
