Awesome!! Fun thread!
The only HG products I have are the few that I consistently buy over and over again, and always have so I don't run out....lol
It's a small list though.haha The only things I keep buying are: 1)that cheapo Milani blush--love it so!! 2)actual real authentic Korean bb creams--like like the gold label and pink label best of all! 3)korean bb powder--to set my bb cream. 3)again with the Milani lol--their 'nude' lipliner that you just twirl to get more to pop up 4)blistex has some moisture lip balm in a tube with little blue bubbles in it--best lip balm ever ever ever! 5)**please don't flame me because I'm not here to start any fights**but for hair stuff, its all Wen--best results I've ever had even after going through super-expensive salon stuff 6)again with the drugstore stuff--I *love* Salma Hyak's oil-free moisturizer and I keep stocked up on that. 7) For bodysprays I love CVS's Japanese Garden--I think it's by Essence of Beauty or whatever.. 8)I don't leave home without my eyebrows lol, so I love Milani's little brow kit with the tweezers, brow color and highlight. 8) and I have an obsession with Maybelline's mascaras...there's one that's dual ended--one side for lower lashes, one for top lashes--I just love it beyond words and it's sooo affordable!! 9)And last but not least, Almay makes a lip gloss/balm in a tube with applicator--that thing is awesome! It's my go-to everyday lipbalm/gloss all in one--talk about multitasking!lol
That's pretty much the list for me...Everything else I just kinda mix and match--skin cream, eye cream--there's nothing I get crazy about and keep buying--sometimes I return to something that I liked previously, but normally I don't give a fig if I ever see most of that stuff again.lol I kinda like trying new things

I was having a real issue with my skin breaking out from Rosacea and these are the products that are working for me.
Foundation- Bobbi Brown tinted moisturizer. This doesn't seem to break my skin out and makes my skin look nice.
Powder-Make up forever Duo Mat face powder- I discovered this a couple months ago and This has replaced the Mac studio fix powder I used to use.
Blush-Bella Bamba by Benefit
Lipstick- Urban Decay Revolution lipstick in Anarchy. I really love this color.
Hourglass Femme Rouge Lipstick in Whisper. I love this color also.
Lip Gloss- Nars Easy lover. Pretty color and goes well with Anarchy.
Eyeliner- Milani Liquid eye pencil. Really creamy and on me has great staying power.
Face cleanser-Simple moisturizing cleanser. Doesn't strip my face or make my face feel tight.
Still on the hunt for my Hg eyeshadow, mascara, face moisturizer, and concealer.
Perfume- Viva La Juicy Noir. I got a sample in the mail and I loved it so much that I went to Sephora to Pick it up.

I have only three HG's
Bare Minerals Original Foundation
Benefit They're Real Mascara
Benefit Eyebrow Pencil
That means I've settled on these forever. Well, you know what I mean. Every other category is still open to experimentation.

I wanted to add that instead of lip balm I like to use Bite Beauty lush lip tint when my lips are really dry it really does help my dry lips better them most lip balms that I have used.
