EMYLI'S BEAUTY MUST-HAVES! 1. SHU UEMURA EYELASH CURLER. Cannot live without this! I don't know how many times it's gotten an award for being the best eyelash curler in the world. Allure, Cosmopolitan, GLAMOUR- you name it, they've probably given an award for it. 2. EMBRYOLISSE LAIT-CREME CONCENTRE I've written a product review for this here. I know it's a face cream, but I love it so much I use it for my hands! It makes a great moisturizer for this winter, where your hands can feel very dry and tight. 5. MAC BLOTTING POWDER PRESSED An essential to your make-up bag. I don't like cakeing myself with more powder during the day for touch-ups. Instead, I choose to use a facial blotting powder which is a translucent powder that helps to absorb the excess oil and shine off my skin- especially on my T-Zone areas. 10. DIOR J'ADORE COMPACT PERFUME One of my most prized posessions! I love this perfume, and I came across this compact version on my flight to Hong Kong. It's a perfect size, (and because it was gold) I bought it straight away. Unfortunately, I'm heartbroken to find that they have discontinued it..... 11. SHU UEMURA DEPSEA FACIAL MIST SPRAY Excellent for hydrating my skin throughout the day. You can find my review here. 12. CLEAN & CLEAR FACIAL BLOTTING PAPER I sometimes use this before using the MAC Blotting Powder. I don't usually carry this with me- but I help my boyfriend carry it as he uses it too! 13. ORAL B SATIN DENTAL FLOSS. No. I don't have a tooth problem. However, I do like to floss my teeth now and then to keep it healthy and from decay. So what? Vivian from Pretty Woman does it! 14. BLINK Eyedrops. I wear contacts, so at times my eyes feel terribly dry and tired. Having eyedrops handy is great for refreshing up, adding moisture to your eyes! And especially from clubbing!
YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED! Now I want all my girlies to post in pictures of what's in your make-up bag, featuring your beauty must-haves and essentials! I think it'll be really fun!

Great selection of beauty must-haves! I particularly like the Boujois blusher (12)- which I absolutely love myself.

I love the simplicity of Anny's make-up. All of her beauty must-haves does an excellent job at what they are made to do. Anny's make-up reminds me of my own! She also has the MAC Pressed Blot Powder, and the Blotting Films by Clean & Clear that I use during the day to help get rid of the shine and excessive oils from my face.
Visit her blogspot here (Yes, you can slater her for leaving Xanga for Blogspot!) ______________________________________________________________ My girlie Miyuki reveals her beauty essentials!
My girlfriend Miyuki has great beauty must-haves! She has great glowing skin and make-up, and I always compliment her on it! I think it's the Dior skincare and make-up products she uses, which give a beautiful, flawless finish. Her choice for creating beautiful lashes without the need for fake lashes is Rimmel London's Magnif'eyes and Volume Flash mascara. And of course, we both cannot live with Shu Uemura's Eyelash Curler!

MUJI mirror 3. Dior- Diorskin Forever Compact 020 SPF 25 4. Some Mac brushes 5. Mac Blotting Powder Pressed 6. Some Japanese made eyelash curler 7. Dose de Nacres mini Boujois Eyeshadow powder 8. Boujois Trio D’ombres A Paupieres Eyeshadow Trio 9. Lancome Hypnose Mascara (for volume) & L’oreal Waterproof Telescopic Mascara (for length) 10. Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick 11. H&M Glitter Black eyeshadow
Chelly uses the Lancome Hypnose Mascara for volume and L'oreals Waterproof Telescopic Mascara for lenghthening her beautiful lashes. Her favourite beauty must-have is Dior's Addict High Shine Lipstick because "it makes your lips shine yet natural-looking!" Chelly's best beauty bargain is H&M's Glitter Black Eyeshadow, which is cheap and doesn't smudge! She cannot live without Johnson's 24hour moisture hand cream, which helps to keep her hand baby soft.
My favourite product is Bourjois' Eyeshadow Trio which features beautiful, romantic shades.. perfect for the everyday look! I also love Bourjois' Mini Eyeshadow Powder which I use myself for creating a gorgeous shimmer.

1. Peripera Wonder B.B Cream 2. Chanel Irreelle Blush – 24 Pink Cloud 3. Chanel Les 4 Ombres (eyeshadow) – 84 Sequoia 4. Missha Perfect cover B.B Cream - Colour 21 5. Space N.K Perfecting Powder – Moonlight 6. Rimmel Soft Kohl Pencil Eyeliner – Jet Black 7. Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner – Black 8. Tesco Bronze & Pink Shimmer mixed into a MAC pot! 9. Corn Silk Translucent Loose Face Powder 10. MAC Lipstick – Myth 11. Chanel Mascara 12. Go! Glitter Eyeliner (£1 from the Market! Absolute bargain!!!) 13. Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil – Dark Brown 14. Shu Uemura Eyelash curler
What I love about Lia's make-up essentials is that she has done some custom mixing with her eyeshadows- by mixing two eyeshadows together into into her MAC Pot, so then she can reuse this without having to throw it away. She swears by Missha's Perfect Cover B.B Cream which contains SPF 42- whilst being an excellent moisturizer as well as a foundation to cover up blemishes. She uses Chanel's Irreelle Blush because it is subtle and gives out a natural, beautiful flush to the cheeks.
Xanga User Jessica reveals her make-up must-haves!
1) Smashbox Dusk Fusion soft lights 2) Tiffa Mascara base- holds curls, lengths, volumizes 3) Shu Uemura eyelash curler- FAVORITE curler ever 4) Marcelle Tinted moisturizer. 5) Maybelline Instant Age rewind concealer- "for my panda eyes." 6) MAC Select Sheer Pressed powder 7) Aerie perfume spritzer- "I love this smell and I love how it has a small version of it so I can put it in my purse :)" 8) Sephora brushes
From the bottom left to right: 1) Nexcare eye tape- for days when my eyelids are ugly "(i.e. crying after/during fight with boyfriend. )" 2) Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash expander 3) Dejavu Imju fiberwig mascara- "my current favorite mascara!" 4) Tweezers 5) Mini scissors for my eyebrows
Jessica uses Marcelle's Tinted moisturizers "for days when I don't want to wear foundation but need a glow. I love this because it's so lightweight and allows my skin to breathe." She uses Sephora's brushes which are excellent for girls on the go! And of course, how can anyone live without Dejavu's Imju Fiberwig Mascara! For an excellent concealer for those panda eyes, Jessica recommends Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer.
