The Wednesday Question

This week's question is one that will require some serious thought (well maybe not serious thought, but you'll have to think about it for a minute):

If you were on vacation (somewhere in your own country) and you were to suddenly lose your makeup bag, which three EASILY-ACCESSIBLE DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS would you rush out to purchase, just to get you through the day?

In other words, I'm not necessarily looking for your holy grail products, I'm looking for the top three products that would get you through the day, and that you can find pretty much at any drugstore across the nation.

I'd go with the following: Maybelline Super Stay Concealer, Physicians Formula SPF50 Powder Foundation, and a Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick. Those three products could certainly get me through the day and night, especially if I was already wearing some mascara (and I'm pretty certain I would be). So how about you? What are your top three "in a pinch" drugstore products?

    I'd say

    Revlon Colorstay Foundation
    Maybelline Full & Soft Mascara
    Rimmel Coral Shimmer lipstick

  7. Good question! I'd probably go with L'Oreal Bare Natural mascara, Maybelline Pure Makeup, and Soft Lips lip balm. I love myself a plain ole lip balm!

  8. I guess this depends what I have to do that day. But here goes:

    - Some sorta blush - maybe the Maybelline Mousse blush so I can apply with my fingers.

    - Mascara - Maybelline would be my brand choice

    - Lipstick - Maybelline's moisture extreme (b/c I might get dry lips)

    WOW - look at that - all Maybelline products. Maybe they'll be a BOGO too :)

  10. Yes to Carrots lip balm
    Yes to Carrots face moisturizer (either cucumber or the other one)

    Can't use most drugstore makeup because of my skin sensitivity so that would be all I can think of right now.

  11. Covergirl concealer (the one with the blue cap)

    Rimmel Stay Matte powder to keep the shiny skin at bay

    Milani Liquif'Eye in black -- I wear glasses, so I don't use mascara, but I always always line my waterline!!!

    I would also say lip balm, but I have a hard time thinking I'd loose *all* my lip balms. I usually have one in my makeup bag, one floating around in my purse, one or two in the luggage, lol!

  12. Ug, I'd try to find the palest drugstore powder foundation out there, because I HATE not having my skintone evened out. I'd pick up my Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara (which hey, is pretty much my HG mascara right now), and I'd grab Physicians Formula Gel Liner for Blue eyes so that I could have liner.

  13. ooo good question! maybelline cover stick, great lash mascara, and revlon super lustrous lipstick in "pink in the afternoon" which looks GREAT on cheeks (and lips too :P)

    ReplyDelete
  14. it would have to be

    1.Almay Line smoothing concealer in medium. I gotta use concealer or else i'll look tired and dead.

    2.Carmex lip balm.

    3. Maybelline Matte powder to set the concealer :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. 1. Maybelline Mineral Power concealer
    2. CoverGirl LashBlast
    3. Tweezerman Super Curl lash curler

    For me, mascara's useless without a good eyelash curler :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Maybelline dream matte powder
    maybelline instant age rewind double perfector concealer
    lash blast mascara

    ReplyDelete
  17. What a fun question!

    Bronzer- Jane Aguaglow would be great to have because you can use it as bronzer, highlight, and eyeshadows. What a great way to cheat!

    Blush- I like Wet 'n WIld blush for quality, perhaps in pearlescent pink.

    Mascara- My favorite is Maybelline XXL Lash Extensions

  18. Hmmm...I've actually been in a situation where I had to stop in at Walgreens and grab a few things to face the day.

    I'd get Physicians Formula mineral powder foundation.

    Styli-style black eyeliner

    Milani's Lustrous Blush

  19. Eyeliner in a brown or purple, black mascara and some blusher.
