I would put Smashbox Photo Finish primer high on my list, it really changed the world of makeup. Nice list, but none of my favorite perfumes are on it. I used to wear Fire & Ice lipstick, maybe I should go get some more! ;-)
At the moment I'm absolutely in love with the nail polishes from Dolce & Gabbana - wonderful colours and a quality I've never experienced before.
Plus Nars lips pencils - versatile and quick : the most important thing for me in the early morning rush.
Foundation from SUQQU - the perfect one for dry skin, with a perfectly natural look (some difficulties with colour : I guess it's produced for Asian skin tones).
After the experience with the nail polish I WANT to try D&G's lipstick!
I was surprised not to see bare minerals on that list. I think everyone wears some kind of mineral makeup these days!
OPI Nail Envy - a lifesaver for me and my fragile nails, and as far as the color I keep buying, it's OPI Got the Blues For Red, which is my perfect red. My HG mascara, from Max Factor, has been discontinued (sob) and I'm still searching for a replacement, but I can't bring myself to spend thirty bucks on a tube of mascara. I need that money for perfume & shoes!
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is some sort of miracle. I've loved it, and it's fragrance, for 20 years. It is on my Desert Island list of products I must always have in my life.
It's newer products than those on the list, but I'd add Becca Luminous Skin and NO Foundation Foundation by Dr Perricone
Lush Dream Cream, and Joy.
(oh, and Clinique makes me have reactions, too - but not the lotion)
Lancome Defincils mascara makes my list, as deos Diors waterproof eyelining pencil (The Best Ever)
I fear I'm late posting, but wanted to share that I love the texture of Cle de Peau concealing stick. Other favorites are L'Oreal Infallible lip gloss, Lancome Definicils mascara, and my micro needle skin roller.
