Hue In The City Girls Chat 1: What 3 makeup items can you NOT live without and why?

Question of the Week:

What 3 makeup items can you NOT live without and why?

This one is actually pretty easy for me and one of the items is in my post for the Roundup links below! I am a pretty low-maintenance kind of gal and my basics are mascara, lip balm and a good blush. I love my BB Cream too, but some days I don't mind skipping it and letting my skin breathe. My 3 absolute faves that I use on a daily basis are:

1. Dolly Wink Long Mascara - this is THE BEST mascara ever for lengthening. It gives me long, soft water resistant lashes.
2. Maybelline Baby Lips - my absolute FAVE lip balm. I have 3 in my purse at all times to hydrate and condition my lips while giving a soft pop of colour.
3. Smashbox Blush/Soft Lights Duo in Under/Cover - This is the softest, prettiest, most glowingiest (is that a word? No?) blush and highlighter duo everrrrrrrrrr. It makes me look almost airbrushed, even without foundation.

I would probably wither away without these 3 makeup items, since they keep me looking pretty and fresh without looking like I caked on the makeup. I love playing with a full face of makeup as much as the next girl, but honestly I usually don't have a lot of time so I just make sure I have the basics. If you're low on time, but still want to look 'naturally' beautiful *wink wink* these three products are a lifesaver. I might even be able to survive on a desert island with just these three things o_o okay, I'm sorry I'm exaggerating. But they are quite awesome.
