Through Twitter, I recently found out about Friend Friday on the fashion blog Modly Chic. I used to be a huge Friday Five addict back in the day. I love that Modly Chic is offering a fashion and beauty related version! Here are my answers for Friend Friday.

1. What are the three products you couldn’t live without?
Concealer, blush and eyeliner. Those three are my absolute essentials. No matter what, they are all I need to get out the door in a matter of minutes and still look decent. I love versions of all three by CoverGirl. Their stick concealear, cheekers blush, and Outlast eyeliner are three items I always keep in my make up bag. I also love Benefit Cosmetics’ concealers (both Boi-ing and Erase Paste) as well as their Thrrrob blush.

2. 2. Which products do you never leave home without?
Lip gloss, a 3-in-1 compact, lip balm, and eyeliner. I learned the hard way to never keep expensive make up in my purse, so I buy a set of cheap stuff to keep there. I love E.L.F.’s minty lip gloss (it’s great quality, especially for a buck!), my CoverGirl 3-in-1 compact, Softlips chapstick, and a spare CoverGirl Outlast eyeliner. I also always have hand sanitizer around. You never know when you’re going to need it! Oh, and, being honest here, at least 4 pairs of sunglasses. In the winter I also carry a pair of fingerless gloves in my purse.

3. 3. When purchasing what is your one big beauty weakness?
Lip gloss! I have a ridiculous amount and am always on the look out for new kinds to try. From low end to high, I just can’t get enough of the stuff. I love love love Nars’ lip gloss, but definitely cannot justify the cost on more than c ouple of shades. Orgasm (a peachy pink) and Easy Lover (sheer hot pink) are my two all time favorites. But I also have everything from E.L.F. to CoverGirl to Victoria’s Secret gloss around. I consider it a cheap splurge. If I can spend under $5 on a new lip gloss and have it make my day, then it’s worth it.

4. Do you have a secret remedy, concoction, family tradition that you use?
I’ve talked about it a lot on here already but, olive oil. Warmed up and in my hair as a deep conditioner or mixed with honey and oatmeal for a face mask. I take several vitamins every day and I love that olive oil is like a vitamin for my hair and skin. I love the stuff.

5. When it comes to your face, what area do you usually try to accentuate?
My eyes. I love that I have green eyes and naturally have a good arch on my eyebrows. I’m lucky enough to only have to pluck a few strays and not have to do much at all in the way of shaping. This is why I love my eyeliner and using highlighter under my brows.
