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)

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!!

Flora by Gucci Perfume

This is way way belated. Had uploaded the video on this HERE. Is it just me, or is this year flying by too fast?? I don't get it... Where did all my days went?? And its freaking November already.

Apologies for the lack of interesting topics on this blog. Because I'm boring like that. And nobody wants to take pictures of me :P

My Favourite Scent for Work at the Moment

I had been always intrigued by the name of this perfume. Flora.... Mmmm..... How florally could it be?? Could it be that all sorts of flowers are added into this tiny bottle?? If so, wouldn't Jasmine and Lavender and Lily collide with each other and cause smell confusion???

By judging from the brand that debut this perfume, I sincerely erase my doubts as who would ever question the quality of product made by Gucci...

Enough said, here's some pictures:

• top notes of citrus mandarin accords and peony
• heart notes of rose and osmanthus flower
• base notes of pink pepper and sandalwood

Oh well, what do ya know, none of the flowers that I'd mentioned acted as a character in this perfume, speak about being close-minded. On me, the scent was quite subtle but longevity wise was excellent (and I do sweat a lot, mind you). I just love how the hint of sweetness comes through all the florally notes and the best thing of all is that it is not overpowering at all, which makes it suitable as a work scent.

So people, if you don't mind paying the extra, go ahead and purchase a bottle. I've been converted ^_^
