How’s it going, ladies? I just got back from the pet store because Tabs lost yet another collar, grr!
I picked him up the most affordable replacement I could find, a red nylon breakaway for $2.99. No much more $18 fashion collars until he proves he can be responsible.

Oh, I got some much more bad news today. MBB reader Jackie sent a heartbreaking e-mail this afternoon. She explained how all of her makeup was stolen, and now she’s searching for guidance to rebuild her collection from scratch.
“I’m heartbroken… all of my makeup, gone! I want to ask you for a list of your favorite basic makeup for daily use. I like Shu Uemura, but I’m open. I’m a basic kind of gal.”
Hey, Jackie. Çok üzgünüm. I’d be crushed!
I’m sure karma will come back and bite that makeup thief in the butt. until then, try to see this as a chance to start fresh, like a makeup phoenix rising from the ashes! You don’t need a lot of different products to look great and put together.

I’d start with my tried-and-true favorite face products, the ones my skin tolerates well and that look natural.
First, there’s Laura Mercier Oil-Free tinted moisturizer ($42), and a tube of MAC select Moisturecover Concealer ($15) (to even out my skin and to cover my dark circles).
Then, I’d get a good powder, one that doesn’t cake, like MAC Blot pressed Powder ($21), MAC Prep + Prime transparent finishing Powder ($21) or MAC select sheer loose ($21).

For some color…
… I might choose MAC’s Gel blush in just a Pinch ($21). It’s a sheer berry that creates a beautiful natural flush.
For much more of a bronzy J. Lo glow, I might try Clinique’s Shimmering stripes Powder blush ($29.50), new for summer from the Bronze Evolves collection.

I can’t live without my eye makeup, so I’d stock up on versatile products able to work in different situations.
I think I’d start with an eyeshadow primer like too faced shadow insurance ($17), which I’d use to set my eye makeup.
Next, I’d get a basic eyeshadow palette with colors I could use for either neutral looks or bolder smokey looks. speaking of versatility, I *love* the new NARS modern love palette ($50).
As for eyeliner, I’d get a few urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye pencils. They’re easy to use and long lasting, too. They’re also a good bargain best now as UD is selling a special duo with two of the company’s bestselling shades — Zero (black) and Bourbon (deep brown) — for $24. That’s two shades for $24. Normally, the pencils are $16 each, so two for $24 is quite a steal.
For mascara, Clinique’s High impact curling Mascara ($14) is a good all-purpose one. It’s a deep, dark glossy black that lengthens, thickens and curls like a mo’ fo.
Dudak
Last, but not least, I’m a pink lip kinda gal, so I’d get a few lipsticks and lipglosses from the Shu Uemura Pink collection ($23 each).

Since even I can’t wear pink every day, I’d also try to include a nude lip product like Shu’s Gloss limitless in BG 930N. It’s a shimmery beige from their new summer collection, Eternal Gold.
Do you have any guidance for Jackie? What makeup would you start with if you had to start from scratch?
