A few of my favorite things: Beauty Edition

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

Picture
  • 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!



Picture
  • 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!

Picture
  • 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!

Picture
  • 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?

Beth, Bad Gal Lash is a great product! So fabulous in terms of lengthening and volume, but it does tend to smudge on me.

Pinch, I haven't tried that foundation, but I might need to! How is the coverage?

I love Hope in a Jar by Philosophy..it is one of the only lotions I have found to keep my face hydrated in the color winter months!

I love the Urban Decay primer potion as well! Seriously, nothing else keeps my eyeshadow on like this stuff does :)

I would have to say I am in love with my mac foundation and powder combo right now. Great coverage!

I must try this mac primer and screen!!

I also love the pocket rockets, the Cargo cool pallet and UD Primer Potion.

I am going to try Mac Primer w/sunscreen as soon as I use up my some of my existing SPF products.

Erin, Hope in a Jar is a good product for sure.

Kris, which MAC foundation and powder do you use? I love their color selection but haven't purchased any foundation/powders from them before.

Holly, I need to use up some of my existing SPF products as well!
