I thought it would be fun to read what everyone's HG items are.
List any product that you always come back to because no matter how much you've searched, you cannot find a better replacement. A product that you will buy over and over again. A product you will not let yourself run out of.

So what is your HG......

Eye Make-up Remover, Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer, Eye Cream, Night Cream, Serum, Exfoliator, Mask, Lip Balm, Lip Gloss, Lipstick, Foundation, Concealer, Powder, Bronzing Powder, Blush, Eyeliner, Liquid Eyeliner, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Tweezers, Teeth Whitening System, Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioner, Hot Oil Treatment, Leave-in Conditioner, Hair Spray, Gel, Mousse, Hair Styling Product, Soap, Body Wash, Body Lotion, Sunscreen, Sunless Tanning Product, Base Coat, Top Coat, Nail Polish, Nail Treatments, Cuticle Oil etc.


I haven't found too many HG items myself because I am still searching/experimenting, but here is what I can't do without. These are what work for me because of allergies to certain ingredients that I have. Unfortunately, I cannot use some products that get all the raves because of my allergies.

I love reading these!

Remember, if you haven't found your Holy Grail item/product or if it's not applicable to you, you don't have to list it.
I use Cetaphil cleanser, but I don't think it's my HG that's why I didn't list it. I'm still searching for a perfect cleanser for my skin. :girlsigh:

I forgot one too...
Bespoke T3 Tourmaline Hair Dryer. :heart:

Cetaphil Moisturizer
All Everyday Minerals Makeup
Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers

Mask: Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask mixed with crushed aspirin!
Lip Gloss: Chanel Glossimers :love:
Tweezers: I use this little thing that basically shaves off eyebrows. I heard that tweezing causes wrinkles so I started using this. Kind of like brushing your eyebrows with a comb, just brush over and it cuts off the hairs. IDK what it's called and I bought some in Korea. I think you can buy them in the US though.

Shampoo: Frederic Fekkai Glossing shampoo or Biosilk

Chanel Inimitable waterproof mascara, Chanel Teint Innocence, Armani micro-fil loose powder are my favorites. :amuse:
