A few of my favorite things: Beauty Edition 12/27/2010

7 Comments

As 2010 comes to a close, I'd like to share a few of my favorite beauty products.

Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket in Max

It's a great nude color, I love the caramel popcorn-like scent, and the little picture makes me giggle every time.

CARGO Essential Palette in Cool/Neutral

This palette means that I can still look decent even when I've only gotten 3 hours of sleep, and can barely keep my eyes open. It's a lifesaver. The colors are nice and neutral, and I always bring it with me when I travel.

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

The packaging is ADORABLE (although it does make it difficult to use up every little last bit)! The Eden color is nice to throw on even without eyeshadow because it brightens up the whole eye area!

MAC Prep + Prime SPF 50

I always wear sunscreen on my face, but have had a hard time finding one that doesn't make my face greasy. I loved Shiseido's SPF 55 lotion, but it was discontinued this year. The replacement: MAC Prep + Prime with SPF 50. And I love the glittery black tube!

Urban Decay's 24/7 Eyeliner in Oil Slick

Oil Slick is a greyish black with silver sparkles. It's been my go-to eyeliner for months!

Clinique's Take Off the Day Cleansing Balm

This stuff gets off my sunscreen and waterproof mascara easily! I will never use a different makeup remover again.

What were your favorite beauty products of 2010?
