A few favorite products from 2011
So, the new year has arrived.I have no idea where 2011 went, it seems to have been and gone in record speed. With the new year comes hopes for the future, good intentions and a splash of optimism that the next will be better than the last. I’m going to take a little while to reflect on the year that has passed and the best beauty products that came with it.Foundation
Since starting this blog I have replaced each old foundation with a completely new one and so far I found two firm favourites:
Favourite: NYCNatural Matte Foundation
This budget foundation is super affordable, gives great coverage is easy to wear,is long lasting and you get all of this for £2.99!
Runner up: Maxfactor Smooth Effect Foundation
A good light to medium foundation that is longwearing and easy to apply. The oil free formula is great for spot prone skin.
Nail Varnish
Favourite: Maybelline’s Forever Strong Pro
The bargain nail varnish (its only £4.09!) is the most durable, chip proof and long lasting polish I came across in 2011.
Mascara
Favourite: Maxfactor’s False Lash Effect Fusion
This false lash effect mascara give dramatic lashes. It layers well to give lashes with volume and length. This is definitely my favorite mascara of 2011.
My other favorite products of the year include Famous by Sue Moxley’s Shimmerbrick, Collect 2000 Cream Puff Lip Cream, Jillian Dempsey for Avon’s Professional Corrector Palette Barry M's Wink Marker Pen and The Body Shop’s Tea Tree SkinClearing Lotion.
