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
Blush = MAC Blush Azalea Blossom
Powder = Skin Food White Grape Fresh Compact Powder



Eyes Products:
Eyeshadow primer = NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base
Mascara = YSL Faux Clis Mascara
Concealer = Clinique Airbrush Concealer Light 03
Brow pencil = Benefit Instant Brow



Eyelash curler = Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
Eyeshadow = Shu Uemura ME850 (taupe color)
Eyeliner = Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner Chocolate Shimmer Ink

Lips Products:
Lipstick = Givenchy Rouge Interdit 06 Precious Rose
Lip Gloss = MAC Plushglass Big Baby

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
Mac white eyeliner

Lip:
YSL rouge volupte 2

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!!!
