My Beauty Product Backups
Hi everyone!
Are there any products in your stash that you MUST have a backup of? Things that- if you run out of them- there will be a mini-crisis? I have a lot of products in my daily rotation, but there are a select few that I tend to have extras of. There are others that I should or did have extras of... that are no longer extras :) But here's a sampling of what's usually in my "backup" stash!
Lash Glue... It's just common sense that you can't wear false eyelashes if you don't have glue. I prefer Revlon Precision Lash Glue, and I usually find it at Wal-Mart. They seem to either have the clear or the dark-tone in stock... but not usually both at the same time. I'll use either kind, and the last time I was shopping, I picked up an extra (not realizing there was already a backup hanging around!) This stuff will definitely get used!
False Eyelashes... Months ago when I fell in love with the Red Cherry #43 false lashes- I ordered more. I got a couple 6-packs of them on Amazon for super cheap. They are just awesome when you want full, long lashes. Gorgeous!
Clear Brow Gel... When you've got some big, thick eyebrows... those things need to be tamed! I don't require a certain kind of brow gel- but this product from ELF is about as cheap as it comes- just $1 at Target. I'll start using this when I run out of the Maybelline Great Lash Clear.
More Eye Products... I think most of us have mascara backups! I actually have some different mascaras from several brands that have been sent to me for review- but these are the back-ups that I actually insist upon having in my collection. Mally Volumizing Mascara-- I experiment with many mascaras, but sometimes you just need to go back to the old faithful. This stuff is great, especially once a new tube is about 2 to 3 weeks in... then the formula becomes perfection. I also made sure to have an extra of the Mally Evercolor Automatic Waterproof Liner in Onyx. This is one of the best black liners for the waterline- it wears wonderfully! I also keep a backup of Cover Girl Clump Crusher Water Resistant... fantastic when I need the BEST staying power. Doesn't flake, and doesn't even smear when I use it on the lower lashes.
Random Beauty Stuff... I almost always have an extra TRESemme Tres Two mini. I keep one of these in my purse at all times, and it's a carry-on friendly travel size as well. So this one is just waiting to be used. Also- I have come to rely on Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs leg makeup. I can't remember the last time I wore a dress or shorts and DIDN'T have this on my legs. It makes them look flawless, tan, and it doesn't wipe off onto clothes or sheets (it'll wash off in the shower). If this stuff got discontinued, I'd be in trouble. Actually I'd be in trouble if any of this stuff was discontinued- scary thought! I also typically have an extra box of the Equate version of Olay Daily Facials Cleansing Cloths. I actually just busted into my backup. Those things take off ALL of my makeup, including eye makeup.

What's in your backup drawer? Even if you have a big collection of products that you're always using... you just have to have backups of certain things! ;)
Daily Nuggets...
- Just posted a new Stuff I Love video! I know, it's been too long!
- Cupcake invaded 2 of the 3 videos that I shot today.
- I have the urge to take my makeup off and start over. And it's almost 5pm. Does that ever happen to you?
- Have you seen the K-Mart commercial where the dudes are wearing jingly boxer shorts?! HILARIOUS!
New Stuff You Love Video!! YAY I'm going there now!! Loved the Kmart Commercial!!
ReplyDeletemy new favorite commercial, for sure!! :)
ReplyDeletei redid my makeup just for the heck of it last night at like 7 p.m. - even though i knew i wasn't going anywhere - sometimes it's just nice to try a different or new look that i might not want to (or have time to) wear during the day! :)
i always have backups (multiple!) of my holy grail mascara, Avon Supershock, as well as their supershock eyeliner, i forget the color but it's a gunmetal dark grey and goes on similar to the urban decay 24 hour pencils. i also just grabbed a backup of my new favorite foundation, the nyx HD foundation! that stuff is fantastic!!
I always have a backup of my body shop Vitamin C Serum. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI always have a backups (or a hoard) of my Maybelline define a brow pencils- as a blonde its hard to find the perfect shade and the dark blonde does the trick. I'm afraid they will get discontinued so I keep buying them, and hoarding them.
ReplyDeleteI just saw that Kmart jingly boxer shorts commercial last night for the first time and busted out laughing so hard I couldn't stop. My husband looked at me like I'd lost my mind, LOL! My backups are Loreal Lash Out mascara which I get on Ebay cuz it's discontinued; don't know how much longer I'll be able to get it! Also have backups of my favorite Laura Geller Balance n Brighten foundation and of my favorite primers. Keep extra stock of retinol cream and 2 each of fave lipsticks, O by Mac and the Revlon peach lip butter. And of course, a chapstick in every room and every purse!
ReplyDeleteGreat post... I have a full shelf in the linen closet devoted to "Backups" most of which are items I seem to order online, QVC, or HSN for fear of running out and the time delay to replenish.
ReplyDeleteI usually keep backups of the Maybelline Age Rewind Eye Concealer. I try so many different products that I don't have many backups. I am currently on a spending ban, so I'm trying to use up alot of what I have!

I always have a backup of my dollar store makeup remover wipes! They are awesome, and just a dollar, I used to use the Equate ones, but they irritated my eyes. They don't completely remove my eye makeup but I just need a tiny bit of makeup remover(liquid) and I'm good.
ReplyDeleteNow, that you mentioned the Elf Brow/eyelash gel, I need to get me a backup of that too :-D
1st comment on your blog by the way :-)
Loved this, such an awesome idea for a blog post! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have backups; sometimes backups of my backups. You never know when your favorite product will be discontinued (happens to me all the time!) Many times after doing a face of makeup I want to turn around and do another look just cause I love makeup so much! No sense in just letting it lay around not being used, right? Got a travel size of that TS hair spray in my Nov. IPSY bag!
ReplyDeletei had no idea revlon made a dark lash glue! definitely going to have to find that :)
ReplyDelete<3 max.
petticoats & pantalones
I now have a back up of my HG (never thought I'd say that) lip product, Revlon Balm Stain in Honey! Since Walgreens is having a good sale, and omg I always wanna start over with my makeup! But like right after lol
ReplyDeleteI always have a backup or two or three of the Mally volumizing mascara, I cannot use another kind I swear nothing beats it. I use anything else and I am left disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs too! I have such pasty legs that the lightest one gives me a nice hint of color. I've only used the spray one but I imagine the lotion formula would be nicer because it's less messy and is less wasteful.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few backups of Mally's mascara too! I love it and won't use anything else. I always have a backup of my favorite deodorant too, haha. Nail polish remover is another must have... hmm... I can't think of any more even though I know there's a bunch of crap in my beauty closet right now! ;)
ReplyDeletexo Always, Abby
I just bought back ups of Garnier BB Cream in Med/ deep for oily skin, my fave BB Cream & Garnier Skin Renew Anti Dark Circle Roller. Also must have back up ELF Wrinkle Refiner (have 3 now because I ran out of it & was in a panic!!) Also back up of ELF High def powder.
ReplyDeleteI always have the Mally mascara on back up too! I have 2 unopened tibes right now. Bare minerals original foundation is usually in my back up stock also.
ReplyDeleteI love the Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara! Still have the worst eyelashes ever though haha.
ReplyDeletehttp://basicbeauty3.blogspot.com
love the tresemme and airbrush legs but you also try tripollar pose for your legs, buttocks and stomach.
ReplyDeleteYes, the TRESemme hair spray is a MUST have for me as well :)
ReplyDeleteI always have that TRESemme hair spray in my purse too! Gotta be prepared! I always have a back up (or two) of my Not Your Mother's She's a Tease volumizing hairspray, I get it bogo half off and with a coupon at Ulta.
ReplyDeleteI have a back ups of the Urban Decay theodora palette, UD deluxe palette(purple one), MAC push the edge lip glass(deep purple never found anything else like it), MAC viva glam gaga 1&2, and lastly katy perry color pop lashes.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love that Elf clear gel I also keep lots as backups since there are so inexpensive:) Thanks for sharing Emily:)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Norma
This may sound dumb, but I have never been able to replicate a look 100% alike, so I try to never re-do my makeup in the evening just for fun because what usually happens is I accidently get a fantastic look and nowhere to go :( As for backups, there is a great liquid eyeliner sold only here in mexico (the brand is called italia) and I always have backups of that. The good thing is that it's really cheap, so I can afford to buy 4 or 5 at a time.
ReplyDeleteI love the ELF brow gel, I always have 3 or 4 backups of it because it runs out quickly. I also have backups of sunscreen, wet wipes, makeup remover, mascara and cotton pads. They're essentials for me :) x
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of your post! Your blog is so excellent, it's refreshing (even though it shouldn't be....) to read a blogger with such good grammar and sentence structure! You're very well-spoken...a lot of the other blogs I read are just horrible English compared to you! I love that clump crusher too, although I don't have it in waterproof....
ReplyDeleteOh my god Emily, I KNEW we were beauty souls mates... The CG Clump Crusher WP mascara is my absolute, hands down HG mascara, regardless if I need a WP formula or not. It's just incredible stuff for the staying power and actual look of the lashes. I can not ever get enough of it!! I've been dying to get my hands on the Mally since you rave about it so much!
ReplyDeleteI almost always feel like taking my makeup off after class & starting over every day. Glad I'm not alone in this!
ReplyDeleteClear eyebrow gel is a must for me as well! I normally keep one or two mascara backups personally :)
ReplyDeleteAnastasia brow wiz and Urban decay all nighter setting spray for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe elf brow mascara and Mally volumizing mascara are both my current holy grail products!!
ReplyDeleteMiranda from SlashedBeauty.com
HAHAHAA the KMART Ad *IS* hilarious
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a backup tote! Too many items to name them all but it has Tarte Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara Gifted, Elf Illuminating shimmer powder (I have to buy it online so I stock up - like 4 of them in my tote), Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation, CoverGirl powder (can't remember which one), lip balm, polish base coat, top coat, remover and various other things.
ReplyDeleteHaha love the K-mart ad! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy only backup items I can think of off-hand are the L'Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, UD's all-nighter setting spray, and Revlon Lip Butter in "Red Velvet." I enjoyed your post - such a good idea!

ReplyDeleteIn my backup drawer? Lots of dry shampoo, self-tanners (I had malignant melanoma, so NO sun for me), TREsemme hairspray (thanks to you), Neutrogena healthy skin foundation, CG True Plum blush, MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle, Elf lipstick in classy (again, thanks to you), and many many others! xoxo.

I have several backups of Milani Mai Tai (bought out CVS when it was on clearance for less than $2) and Milani Sweet Rose, NYC Sunny, a few favorite lip products that are discontinued, Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation (it's getting hard to find, and most places that do have it don't have my shade [yay for being super fair]), and most importantly: several backups of my Physician's Formula Canyon Classics quad. I use that quad for EVERYTHING! (brows, contour, browbone highlight, blending color, etc.)
ReplyDeleteRimmel Match Perfection Blush in Light. It is a total no brainer, natural look for me no matter what lip or eye colors I am wearing. That and Wet N Wild's Walking on Eggshells are my choice on hectic mornings when I don't even know what clothes I am going wear yet.
ReplyDeleteI aaaaalways have backups of black eye pencil, mascara and mattifying powder. Along with a ton of other stuff.
ReplyDeleteThese are such lovely suggestions for back-ups! Thank you for sharing!

Aaaah, see whenever I run out of beauty products I have to wait around until I feel like going out and buying them again. At one point I went two weeks without mascara because I was just THAT lazy ;)

Hi Emily! Great post! I have four backup beauty products- Revlon Colorstay liquid liner, Revlon lip butter in Berry Smoothie, Aveeno positively radiant facial cleanser, and Secret outlast deodorant in sport fresh. I also stock up on mascaras- if I find a 2 pack or a steal at Big Lots. I have Falsies, Mega Plush, Lash Stilletto, and Lash Blast stocked up. I get bored of the same mascara! I like to mix it up!
