Best Beauty Products 2010

This is sort of late as its already mid Jan 2011 and I'm still living in the world of 2010. And OMG, I can't seem to keep up with my new year's resolution = Blog as frequently as I can.

I have to stay motivated in any sort of way **acting tough**

So here are the things that I used so often in 2010 that I can't really live without them. The reason that they are a keeper is due to either that they give tip top quality/consistency/texture, or they are heavenly scented, they don't break me out, or they perform excellently in their relevant fields, or just simply the brand that comes together are just too hard to resist.

 Hopefully, I'll get to discover greater new stuff this year (of course, by splurging more moolah and experiment on the vast amount of products out there)

Perfume = Flora by Gucci

Face products:

Foundation = NARS Sheer Glow in Fiji

Primer = MAC Prep and Prime

I do find it quite peculiar that none of my Chanel makeup made it through this round. It ain't because I'm not crazy over Chanel's cosmetics (in fact, I just can't go a week without them), maybe its just that other products outshine Chanel's and I seem to grab other products more frequently than the big C.

And I'm sorry to say that I have a tendency to choose high ended products over drugstore/pharmacies ones. Maybe its the materialistic demon in me stirring ever so often that I tend to lose sight of how great sometimes low end cosmetics could be.

But fear not. Its 2011. I'm going to venture more into other brands and will try to stick to my meagre budget this year so that I don't hoard those expensive thingys in my drawer and forget about them (seriously, I think these branded ones are just for display and nothing else).

**Phew**

That's a lot of words....

So, enjoy your day everyone, have a great starting to 2011, and remember to stick to your New Year's Resolution. I'm sure you'll do better than me ^_^ Love you guys so much!!

Face Of The Day

Face:

Fasio primer

Fasio concealer stick

Bobbi Brown liquid foundation

Elf bronzer and blusher

Clinique highlighter

Eyes:

Elf eye primer

Lancome palette

Mac satin taupe

Elf gel eyeliner

YSL mascara

Benefit brow pencil

This is my favourite look at the moment. And I absolutely adore how easy it is to get this look. Took my about 45 minutes (plus the time of watching animes while doing my makeup). I just love Satin Taupe. I think I'm going to invest more on taupe and earthy color. I used to despise brown on my eyes as I thought they made me look muddy and dirty. Maybe my perceptions are wrong all these while.

Enough said... Chanel Taupe Gris and Vert Khaki, here I come!!!

Faces of 3 Days

I am a typical lazy ass procrastinator. So much so that the mission of writing "Face of the Day" has been completely forgotten until I go through my pile of photos in my laptop. And the worse thing is that I'd completely forgotten which makeup brand did I used to complete these looks.

Its a total bummer. I wish I should have done this earlier so I can list down whatever products that I'd used.

But anyways, here are some of the looks that I'd created for my day time appearance. Its kinda heavy for day time actually, but I like using colours so I don't care.









I do think that these are the product brands that I used throughout the 3 looks...

Eyes: ELF Eye Primer, 88 Shimmer Palette, Beauty UK Eyeshadow Palette, Maybeline Eyeshadow Trio Palette, Benefit Eyebrow Pencil, Loreal Liquid Liner, ELF Mineral Eyeliner, The Body Shop Eyeliner, ELF False Eyelashes

Face: N7 Intelligence Balance Foundation Mousse, ELF Concealer and Highlighter, ELF Mineral Booster, Bobbi Brown Liquid Foundation, MAC Select Cover, Max Factor Blush, NARS Orgasm Blush

Lips: Barry M Palest Lavender and Dolly Pink, Ianti Lip Gloss, Lancome Juicy Tubes, Loreal Glam Shine, Lipice, Bobbi Brown Shimmer Lip Gloss

Sorry, its my bad to give such vague description of which products I'd used. In the future, I would try to bear in mind that I need to stop procrastinating so much in order to save my own skin and my blog ;p
