Beauty Favourites of 2011

Hello,


So since 2011 is coming to an end it is time to choose the products that I have loved the most this year.


Eyeshadow

• NYX eyeshadow trio in Aloha/Mink Brown/Deep Bronze: It has a wonderful pigmentation, a great texture and plus they are everyday colors.

• Kiko eyetech look in 04: Its gorgeous to use all over the lid or in the crease in a day when you really don't have time.

Eyeliner

• MUFE aqua liner in 5L: Gorgeous olive color with enhances my eye color (brown) and it also stays on forever.

• Kiko automatic precision eyeliner and Khôl in 712: it is really creamy so it smudges easily which is kind of the main purpose of this product

• Bobbi Brown long-wear gel eyeliner in Black ink: Precise, lasts all day and simply beautiful

Mascara

• Benefit Bag Gal: Leaves a natural yet lengthened and volumized look, the only down side is that it lacks of curling action. 

• L'oreal cil architect 4D: I love this mascara, I have done a review on it, if you want to see it click here.

Cheeks

• Mac mineralize blush in Warm soul: It is a shimmery rosy pink that gives a gorgeous flush.

• Mac blush in Well dressed: the pink that makes your cheeks look alive when it seems that you come from another planet where the sun doesn't come up and you look as white as paper, it is semi-matte, It doesn't look like much in the pan, but once its on its beautiful.

• Benefit Posietint: It stays all day as it is a liquid blush (a stain). It also makes you look naturally flushed and I personally love it because it is matte. I use this every day no joke i seriously love this stuff. You can also use it on your lips

Face

Since I don't use foundation i am going to talk about concealers only.

• Benefit Boing concealer in shade 2: This cream concealer covers everything and it leaves a flawless appearance to your skin. The down side is that the color selection is really poor,as there are only 3 shades.

• Kiko natural concealer in 01: Even thought the color doesn't perfectly match me (again they also have a very poor color selection) I really like it, as it has a great great coverage and a nice texture.

Lips

• Mac sheen supreme lipstick in behave yourself: I personally like this kind of mac lipsticks better than normal ones as some finishes can dry your lips. This color (actually the only one I own) is a light blue-toned pink with some shimmer, it is a bit sheer but really pretty.

• Benefit lipgloss in Life on the A list: This opaque peachy gloss is gorgeous for a simple everyday lip, I love its texture, its pigmentation and I ADORE its smell, an apricoty (does this word even exist LOL) scent.

Perfume

• Acqua di gioa: a fresh, sweet scent that I love for winter and fall. It young, with some floral undertones and plus the commercial is really really cool.

• CH l'eau: a floral, also sweet smell but with kind of a twist. I love, love, love this for summer and spring. This scent just makes me happy :).

I hope 2011 was a good year for all of you, and I also wish you an even better 2012,that the new year brings you health, love and happiness.

XOXO,

Andrea
