Jaclyn Hill has pretty much been taking Youtube and the beauty world by storm, and recently she did a video devoted to her "ride or die" makeup products that she always falls back to, or never wants to be without. My lovely blogger friend Kate {KateLovesMakeup} posted hers, and tagged me to do mine, so here are the products that I reach for when all else fails!
