I think my must haves are:

mac coquette e/s for my eyebrows
inglot 395 e/s as a highlight

shiseido lifting foundation spf 17

nars creamy concealer in custard

I refuse to step outside without my eyebrows done and at least some coverage! and mascara, but I don't really like the mascara I have right now. still looking for "THE" one. 

 
So I'm gonna update mine now :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Currently I'm OBSESSED with my Let's Meet In Paris Cargo Palette!

Also, the La Bella Donna Moonlight Highlighting Cream Colour......seriously freaking amazing!!!
 
At the moment, Lorac unzipped Palette.

I just can't stop using it!

Oh, and my EOS lip balm.

Oh I love the Unzipped palette too. I got it last Christmas and used it all the time. The colors are so gorgeous!
 
I absolutely love my stila convertible color for lips and cheeks in the color peony. It was a gift from my Secret Santa and it's my absolute HG blush.

 
I've been using L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundation for a couple months now, and just can't say enough good things about it. I also have to give honorable mention to Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play hairspray, because I've been using it for 14 years.14 years!!!! I've tried so many others and haven't found anything I like better.

 
Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders (these are finishing powders though, not setting) Naked 3 - I love it even though I don't really like the other two Stila liquid eyeliner pen - I've used Essence as well, but the Stila pen is just amazing and I can line my upper lashline so much faster and cleaner with this MAC huggable lipsticks - I highly recommend grabbing at least one.

 
Wet 'N Wild liquid eyeliner in the waterproof form.
I have a faint birthmark on my left cheek and I love to draw over it to make it more noticeable, and the Wet 'N Wild liquid eyeliner is perfect! It is cheap, goes on well, and the waterproof one stays on FOREVER!

I don't know about a 'must have', this is more of a 'currently obsessed', but this little gem from Tarte:

So obsessed, in fact, that I broke my 'no buy' this month to get it. Actually, I just swapped February's low buy for January's no buy. But I told myself I'd wait at least 30 days between wanting something and actually purchasing it. This little gem? 6 days.

I'll receive it Monday and we'll see if it's a 'must have' by then.

My other 'must haves' that I've actually been using daily include:

NYX brow cake powder in 'light'



And Lorac Pro palette (especially lt. bronze, taupe, mauve, white, and sable)



My ELF blending eye brush



And finally, Sanni's eyeshadow tutorial for hooded eyes, which has saved my life!

I've seen mixed reviews over this palette. It's either a hate or love. The ones who hate it says it's not very pigmented.

EDIT: But, I am interested in it. I think though it might blend into my skin color because they're very pale colors.

I agree, there are very different opinions on it! I think from reading a bunch of reviews that the people who dislike it or were disappointed are people who have medium skintones. It seems to work for fair or deeper skintones. The medium skintone people seem to have the colors just blend in and not show up at all, which is very unfortunate.

For me, I'm very fair and I think this is a godsend- midtones for me are usually on the lightest end of most palettes (Lorac Pro, Naked) but this one seems like it would work fine - like I could actually get use out of each and every color.

Also, I have hooded eyes, so mattes are a must for me. I am looking forward to giving this palette a whirl.
