In a slowing economy, you must stay FABULOUS, however, we suggest you do it on a budget. Now is the time to wear what's in your closet and splurge on makeup to enhance your look (a cheaper solution to looking great on a budget).
Bloggers, please share with everyone your best kept beauty secret. What's in your makeup bag? What beauty product(s) can you not live without?

Our secret to FLS is Smashbox PhotoFinish. You can buy it at Sephora or Ulta.
A beauty product that's a must is Chanel eyeliner...we haven't found a better eyeliner yet. We just recently spluge on their mascara as well, love it.
Wearing consealer (MAC or Amazing Cosmetics) with powder on top gives you FLS as well. CHEERS!
I can't live without MASCARA!!!
I have always and am still working on FLS. It is about making lemonade out of lemons!!
(1) What’s in my makeup bag?
Just got rid of it (was too dirty) when I had one it had just about everything in it. (sad) When I get my new one I will only put, lipgloss, mascara, small sissors(to cut the undiscovered nose hairs), tweezer (for stray hairs on neck, or anywhere else they pop up, uuhg)) concealer (stick), blot papers, blush, small brush set, chap stick, mirror, and top secret small hand sanitizer. (oops sounds like my old one)(stuff in the bottom of my purse now,in a baggie,lol)
(2) Beauty product I cannot live without: lip gloss
(3) Best kept beauty secret: Then it wouldn’t be a secret.
Okay, I’ll let you in on one – (1) simply mix table salt and body lotion; lather up and rinse, turn the water off while scrubbing, then rinse. Skin is so soft afterwards! Okay (2) I put eye cream under powder eyeshadow and it stays on beautifullly.
(4) Something Extra:
My favorite beauty product changes from time to time. My favorite at this time is a white eyeliner by MAC. It makes my eyes extraordinarily gorgeous.
If U don't like U, Y should I?
Natural beauty is my best kept secret!
Like passion4fashion, my favorites change from time to time. Without change, we sometimes get stuck and that's when your makeup can become outdated and boring. So, let me share some of my favorite products, why I love them, and some of my beauty secrets.
1. Taking care of your skin is the 1st step in having flawless skin. Don't rely on makeup to create flawless skin. So wash and moisturize your skin at LEAST twice a day. Use MAC Fix + to refresh and hydrate your skin.
2. I can't live without mascara. My favorite right now is Diorshow Unlimited, and Infinite Lash by Nixie cosmetics. Tip: Place your brush as close to your lash line as possible, wiggle the brush, and then pull it out.So think "wiggle, wiggle, pull." It helps to create a more dramatic lash.
3. OMG, Blush, Blush, Blush--ladies don't be afraid of it, it will set you free! Colors for any skintone: Sweet as Cocoa, Gingerly, Raizin. All colors are by MAC.
4. Okay, this is a product MUST HAVE. In other words, go buy it NOW! We all want our eyeshadow to stay on all day, so you should use an eye shadow primer to keep it that way. So use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I seriously can't live without it.
5. My new favorite eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner. It's waterproof and doesn't run.
6. My new favorite foundation is Even Skin Silicone Foundation by Nixie Cosmetics. It's very light and creates and even, flawless finish. Silicone is an ingredient that doesn't absorb into the skin. Therefore, it lays on top of the skin and fills large pores and fine lines. It just melts into your skin like butter! Tip: Try setting your foundation with a mineral powder.

Now let's all toast to looking Flawless and Fabulous! Cheers!
OMG, pink blush you ROCK,for real! I love fashion and I've just started getting into makeup and I think I'm turning into a junkie! Thanks for the tips and the product suggestions. I'm gonna buy those Urban Decay products for sure and that foundation too. Where can I purchase it? Do they sell it in stores or just online? I'm so excited and I hope the other bloggers get it too!
Hey pink blush,

What about SPF, what's a good product for that?
Pink Blush, where have u been all my life . . . Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, okay, you just don't know how long I've been wanting something to keep the eyeshadow on all day. I must go and get some, I must. Thank u.
I cannot live without make-up, period, I just gotta have something on when I go out or I'll feel naked. Anything, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick (U get the picture)
Natural beauty can ALWAYS be enhanced.
My make-up bag has all of the usual products; I also keep some mints in there.
Hey Tren-d, glad I can help you out!! You can purchase the Urban Decay eye shadow primer from sephora.com and the foundation at nixiecosmetics.com. I guess you can say I know a lot from trial and error, I'm a makeup junkie too!!!
@ Valentine, your life will change once you get that Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. You can get it from sephora.com.
@ anonymous, you can get spf in a lot of things. The easiest for me is in my moisturizer.
I don't like Tyra so I cant comment on nothing that has to do with her fake a**! But I am just naturally a beauty that was born with fls...I sound like Ms. Thang...
ivory soap and water... that will get you good and dry and try lander lotion from the dollar store that will for sure break your skin out in tiny bumps LOL!!!!! Have some fun ladies you only live once:}
@n2fashion, girl u big time crazy. lmbao @ "that will get you good and dry" and "lander lotion from the dollar store"
Girl u been shoppin with Ms. Thang?
Clean skin. Prior to washing, splash cold water on your face to close the pores...then cleanse. Use a great face cream. I use La Mers. Use a facial scrub at least twice per week.
There is nothing more beautiful than healthy skin.
