The Vitals.

This week I wrangled myself into the daunting task of organizing all my beauty/health/hair products into a new system in my closet. The hoards of products that I own, and never use, was alarming.
It got me thinking to my essential product stash, the one that I keep on hand at all times, and that never gets lost in the abyss of my closet.
Here are my beauty saviors, most of which I've used for years and years and years...

FAV-PRODUCTS

1. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
{Oil free and perfect for just a teeny bit of moisture before makeup.}

2. Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner
{One of my favorite times of day is washing my hair with this succulent coconut creme.}

3. L'Occitane Body Lotion
{Smells like the sweetest baby powder.}

4. Healthy Hoof Nail Lacquer
{Started using this when I was a teenager! Major addiction. Nails.Never.Chip.}

5. Benefit Cosmetics "Dallas" Blusher
{Somehow always defines my face and adds the perfect sun-kissed glow.}

6. Prada Infusion D'Iris Perfume and lotion
{All time favorite fresh scent.}

7. Lavender Oil
{Perfect for bedtime, relaxation or extra dry spots.}

8. Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste
{My savior for blemishes and under eyes.}

9. MAC lipstick in Blankety
{Consistently works, whether I'm pale or tan.}



What are some of your Vitals?

  14. I love seeing the products other girls swear by. And I do the similar things when it comes to hoarding products that I don't use! Why do I do that?? I also love Benefit Erase paste! It's so much more creamy than other concealers. I've been wanting to try Dallas, good to know you love it. I'll check it out next time I'm in Sephora.

  16. My favorite scent is Prada too. For the longest time I wore Amber but now my absolute favorite is the new Prada L'Eau Ambree. You have to try it!! And MAC-well between MAC, NARS,and Bobbie Brown, that's my entire make up collection. I should try some of these other products you have listed here too!

  17. I love erase paste - I got it when I was in Vancouver for work and was alone & wandering around the mall - I went to the bay and a girl asked if I wanted a mini makeover, and since I was alone with tons of time to kill, I said sure - she introduced me to erase paste, and I loved it - but we don't have abay here! Gotta hunt one down!

  18. I've never tried Hoof Nail Lacquer! (or most of your things so this is a true jackpot for me). I do love lavender anything. My go to's really are Fresh Lip Balm and 100% Pure Nourishing Facial Oil. I just love that stuff!

    xoxo,
