Re: What are your Holy Grail items?
DevaCurl AnGel (it has a new name now though)
St. Ives Apricot Scrub - the store brands just don't do it for me.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel Toner
Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Powder Foundation - covers everything, looks like I'm wearing nothing.
Nars Blush in Deep Throat - no other blush lasts as long for me or has as good pigmentation.
Urban Decay Primer Potion - original and sin
Ulta Eyeshadow in Organza and Truffle
Mac Lipglass - best texture ever and even though it's sticky it lasts so much longer than other glosses.
Also, not really makeup, but Cult Nails Wicked Fast Topcoat. It dries *almost* as fast as Seche Vite but with no shrinkage!

Re: What are your Holy Grail items?
OMG this thread is going to cost me a fortune! 
I dont really have any because I dont wear much makeup since becoming a SAHM but definitely my Clinique Superpowder Double Face compact would be on my list.

Blinc mascara
How do you like the Blinc? I have a sample and I really don't know if I like it. It doesn't seem to do much for me.

What are your Holy Grail items?
Benefit "They're Real" mascara.
I',m not a big make up wearer at ALL so I NEVER would have EVER figured I'd pay over $20 a TUBE for mascara but this shit is INCREDIBLE. In the summer I wear it with nothing else. It makes my eyes look super fabulous.
Jesus, I sound like a damn commercial!

The little tubs are weird, right? The first time I washed my face it was so odd!

OMG, I ALMOST bought this on Sunday at Sephora & bought dior show instead, wish i had seen this sooner! Well, now when my dior runs out I will try it
The only thing that i would say I think is "super awesome better than any other i tried" is Stila waterproof smudge stick which is a mechanical eyeliner pencil. It stays on & doesn’t run. I was wearing liquid for a while but it was too precise and I like the smokier effect the pencils give but they always seem to wear off. The Stila stays on all day for me.

Good to know! I love a particular MAC mascara but they've gone back into the stoneage and started testing on animals again Benefit does not, and I'm looking for a good mascara once this MAC one runs out. Thanks

I need to look into this. I had gotten Too Faced Better Than False lashes and it's great for lengthening, but does nothing for volume. And I hate having to gunk on more than one mascara.
As for my go-to items, it's all the cheapest stuff!
St. Ive's Apricot Scrub
Bare Escentuals Loose Powder
Bare Escentuals Warmth (In the summer, I forget the name of the one I use in the winter, it's a little lighter.)
SoftLips in vanilla or raspberry
I used to swear by Rusk Thick for volume for my hair, but even that doesn't seem to work consistently for me anymore. I feel like I have to switch up my hair products every few months so my hair doesn't get immune to the product.

Try the Rusk Radical Cream - it is awesome for volume and texture!

Dang it! I wish I'd have known you were looking! That stuff is the bomb, it really is amazing and worth every penny.
Good to know about the eyeliner, I may have to check it out because everything I've tried ends up running.

I love "They're Real" too. I dpon't buy it all of the time, b/c I am trying to convince myself I don't need to spend $ on mascara, but nothing else was living up to it, so I just
orderd it again.
I have used blinc and liked it, but it made my lashes feel very heavy.
Good to know about the eyeliner. I had the same conflict. I usually use gels, but sometimes they run.
