Which Ones Do You Love Best?

Here’s the scenario:

The sheriff is at your door. There’s a natural disaster headed your way and you must evacuate immediately. Thank goodness your emergency bag of necessities is packed and ready to go.

You bat your expertly applied MAC lashes at our handsome sheriff, and he graciously agrees to give you an additional minute to gather your most precious beauty items. Which ones do you pick?

In other words, what are your most prized beauty possessions????

Since the sheriff started at my place, I’ll tell you what I grabbed.

First I ran to my home office and snatched up my plastic-wrapped July 2008, all black issue of Italian Vogue. I went through hell last year locating a copy, but it was totally worth it!

As I left my office, I glanced over at my Obama bobble-head doll and groaned. "Sorry, Mr. President, but you simply aren’t a beauty item so I had to leave you behind." (He nodded his understanding.)

Next, I hotfooted it to the bathroom and snatched open the top drawer of my vanity. There I found my beloved Yves Saint Laurent Palette Esprit Couture compact from 2007, inspired by the iconic gown from his Fall 1983 couture collection, still in it’s packaging. (I wouldn’t dream of actually applying it. Too me, it’s more than make-up. It’s a beautiful piece of French art.)



Now it’s your turn. What beauty favorites would you retrieve? And remember you only have a minute.

  1. great question!
    i have a roll-on cart with my goodies!
    Can I bring that?
    I might need to invest in one of the suitcases that Ren Ren put her make up because i know as much as i bat my eyelashes, the sheriff won't let me take the 3 traincases

  3. Oh goodness!! Um, I would probably grab some random balm and some cuticle moisturizing cream. Those really are my only necessities. Everything else I could stand to part with.

    Not that I'd want to, but you know...lol.

  5. I really wanted that magazine but i couldn't find it! I wonder if I can find a copy on Ebay? I still want a copy!

    I don't really have any prized beauty possessions but more like things I haven't been able to part with lately like: concealer, mascara, Burt's Bees gloss, bronzer and definitely my bedhead gel. With those things I'm good to go!

  6. Oh good gracious that's a tough one! I'll have to say Guerlain Kohl eyeliner and Prescriptives Anywhere Powder Foundation. Everything else I can fake with dirt and clay lol

  7. I am so ready! Got a cute green make-up travel bag from Ebags last year when I pretty much bought the MAC store. :) I've got all the goodies in there, beautifully organized in compartments: BRUSHES! lipsticks, powders, liners, makeup remover, even the pencil sharpener and tweezers. I don't need a minute; give me ten seconds.

    (And I'll grab the wicker basket with the hair stuff in passing...)

  9. It's funny--I never really thought about beauty stuff if I had to leave asap! So now that I'm thinking about it, it's gotta be lip balm (something moisturizing & protective), nivea extra enriched lotion, and my eyeliner brush--guess then I'd need a pot of stila shadow, but without that brush, it's all downhill!

  10. It would be mascara, some mineral powder foundation and lip gloss.

  11. I would run to my bathroom and pull my entire cosmetics drawer out of the vanity before ripping the medicine cabinet off the wall. This is an emergency, right?

  12. Deoderant and hair wax :). Hopefully they'll have shampoo and other necessities where I'm going, but I won't trust them to have deoderant!

  13. Love your posts. I would probably grab my lancome oscillating mascara or givenchy phenomen eyes lip gloss and my chestnut Mac lip liner. Or if I had to really keep it simple, lip gloss and I'm good to go. I could always put clear lip gloss on my eye lashes if i wanted to add a little glistening pop to my eyes.

  14. Girl, please...since most of my prized beauty items are on my vanity, I would get one of my big Whole Foods reusable grocery bags, dump the contents of my pretty acrylic containers into it and ROLL....teehee. Seriously. Mission complete, lol.

  15. Dang, I'd grab the Laura Mercier Secret Camoflauge pallet and the Giorgio Armani foundation, and the Retin A.
