New task.

What is the cult beauty product that you think no make up user should be without?

In groups of 4 you can discuss your findings and argue your case. Present your choices and final winner to rest of class.

We want proof! 

Look at cost? Reviews? Ease of use? And anything else you think is important. 

I asked my wife and she went with Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. I have even been known to splurge some on myself.

I want back up for your choice. Photos , feedback, a poll of your followers! Go get em!!
