8. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer - I use this a facial lotion after I use the Clinique Clarifying Lotion. $24.50

EYES:

2.Duo Eyelash Adhesive- This is a waterproof formula from them, I love it . It goes on easy and it dries to a complete clear while being waterproof. $3-6
3.Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - I love this ! All I can say . It makes my lashes long and bold and I think they look great with two coats applied.
4. Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner- I love this eyeliner more then any I have ever used before. It does not smudge , it stays on all day and it is SO easy to apply. If I can apply this at 5am and still half a sleep before coffee without one flaw , this is what makes me realize how wonderful it is . $6-9
5. L'Oreal 24 hour Infallible Eye Shadow(997 Eternal Sunshine) - a new eye shadow from them , I love this color in particular . It goes on so easy , has such a beautiful color and it does stay on all day . I have had it crease minimally on me one time out of many . $8-9

LIPS:

1.Yes To Carrots Lip Butter- I use it as a basic lip balm , it does not get sticky and it works well. $4-6
2.Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick(006 Pink Blush)- I love this formula of lipstick , I think it goes on well with good color for a good price. I love this color in particular - It is a great dupe for Macs Lady Gaga. $4-6

Another one of my favorites for this category is the new Lip Butters from Revlon. I do not have it pictured because I have it at work . I do love it though . It goes on with good color and is very moisturizing. $7-9

NAILS:

1. Sally Hansen Recovery Nail System Rehab- I am using this now after removing my acrylic nails I had on for so many months , so far it has been improving them . To bad I don't think it is available any longer :(
2. Burts Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream- I love this for a cuticle cream , I carry it in my pocket and put it on throughout the day to help with the growth of my nails. Smells wonderful too ! $6-8
