Here are the Candy eds basic beauty essentials:

miac.jpg Whether I'm fully made up or completely bare-faced, I cannot step out without my tube of Maybelline Lip Smooth. The strawberry and cranberry shades are great, but it's the raspberry shade that I'm obsessed with. Mia C., Editor in Chief
mimi.jpg It’s a three-way tie between SPF, eyelash curler, and lip balm/gloss, then I’m all set to face the world! —Mimi, Managing Editor
angel.jpg Lip and Cheek Tint from The Body Shop. I hardly wear makeup and I remember back in college, whenever I would put some of that on, someone would always tell me, 'Blooming ka!' It never fails. Haha! Angel, Assistant Features Editor
marla.jpg A hot oil treatment once a month, especially since I subject my poor tresses to so much torture (i.e., chemicals, coloring, blow-drying). Allow-Me-to-Gloat-Trivia: I won Best Hair in college (Yes, we actually had that award, haha!). Marla, Editorial Assistant
macy.jpg I never used to put anything on my face but I've realized that, ahem, I am getting older. :P Everyday, I use Neutrogena Moisturizer on my face. And on some days, I put Pretty When Pinched from Bench on my cheeks. I get that flushed look without looking too made up! I love it! —Macy, Web and Mobile Producer
roch.jpg I always use Skin Focus Face Illuminator from The Body Shop. It's like a tinted moisturizer that makes my face glow instantly. I also love putting on L'oreal Colour Juice Lip Gloss in Capucine coz it makes my lips look yummy hehe! :D —Roch, Web and Mobile Producer

What about you? What beauty product or treatment can you not live without?

20. clarypink says:
Whenever i'm taking a bath, i make it sure that i wash my face twice with AVON Natural Whitening cleanser. After taking a bath I'm wiping up my face with AVON Naturals Whitening toner to even out my tone, and it is tried and tested because after a few weeks of using it I found my skin clearer and my dark spots fades away slowly. Before getting out of the house, i'm applying my AVON Naturals whitening cream sun screen so that my skin will not be infected too much with UV rays. During nigth, after cleansing and toning I'm applying PONDS detox cream. After 1 month of using these products, i found my skin better that before. Dark spots due by pimples on my forehead lessen and my skin became toned. When it comes to make-ups, i'm not applying many make-ups in my face because it causes pimples. I'm just applying AVON pressed powder and a lip gloss from body shop. If i'm putting too much make-ups, it causes my face to produce lots of pimples.. hehehe... that's why i'm just applying simple ones. These are my beauty regimes. hehehe...
