My Favorites for 2011

Hello again! I know that I'm a little late for posting this but like they better late then never right? So let me get into :)



The items!! :D

I was going to take pictures of the items in category but I just got lazy :p LOL Well here we go!

FACE:

- Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in B30 Sable
- MAC Prolong Wear Concealer in NW30
- Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in Medium

* MINI REVIEW! *

If you guys have been reading my blog for a long time then you know that I RAVED about the Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation and I even did I comparison with the infamous Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer, go check it out if you haven't yet!

The Maybelline Concealer was a recent find and I'm glad I pick it up because it feels nice and lightweight on the skin unlike some concealers, and it really does brighten up the area of the eyes :) I definitely have to thank MakeupByTiffanyD for recommending it in one of her favorites video!

EYES:

- MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study and Soft Ochre
- Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner
- Loreal Linear Intense Liquid Eyeliner ( not pictured )
- Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara
- Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara ( not pictured )

If you couldn't tell I didn't include any eyeshadows just because I didn't really wear much eyeshadows during the year ( I know shocking! ) even though I keep buying them -___- but if I were to choose some eyeshadow favorites it would definitely be MAC's All That Glitters, Naked Lunch,Style Snob, Wedge and of course everyone is going to include this in their favorites which is the infamous Naked Palette.

LIPS:

- MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Hot Gossip
- Dior Addict Lipstick in 333 Nude
- EOS Lipbalm in Summerfruit
- Nivea Lipbalm in Milk & Honey
- Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle
- LUSH Lip Scrub in Sweet Lips

I have to say that I have been really taking care of my lips these past couple months but I think it's due to the weather where I live but I will definitely be taking care of my lips all year round. And I will say that Nivea's Milk & Honey really saved my lips, it moisturizes and keeps it nice and smooth through out the whole day! I would definitely recommend you guys go check it out :) and I like it even more cause I can find it at any drugstore!

CHEEKS:

- MAC Creme Blush in LadyBlush
- MAC Sheertone Blush in Pinch O Peach
- MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty ( not pictured )
- NARS Blush in Deep Throat ( not pictured )
- Benefit's Boxed Powder in Hoola
- MAC Matte Blush in Harmony

As you couldn't tell my cheeks have been really loving MAC this past year. I was realy into the pinks and peachy shades which is in my comfort zone :) I also been using Hoola and Harmony as my contour shades and they both give me a natural look where as some would give the orange look.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS:

- Clean & Clear Soothing Makeup Remover
- Ponds Cleansing And Exfoliating Towelettes in Citrus Scent
- My Beauty Diary Masks
- Lady Speed Stick in Summer Citrus
- Victoria Secret's PINK Body Mist in Sunny & Happy

If you are a long time reader of my blog then you know that I was jumping for joy when I found out a local asian supermarket carried My Beauty Diary Masks! :) These are a definite favorite for this year because I really did seen some improvements in my skin like my skin doesn't look as dull as before and definitely more hydrated too! I will definitely be doing a review on these babies once I go and load up on some more ;)

Now I have reached the end but there's still something which is one final favorite that I want to mention and that's YOU GUYS! I want to thank you guys for the lovely support! I will admit that there was one point that I didn't want to blog anymore because it's just too tiring to update it frequently but because of you guys knowing that you read it and leave me comments is what keeps me going and I can't thank you guys enough! :)

That is everything! I hope you guys enjoyed this and feel free to leave me a comment of what were some of your favorites this past year :)

Sephora Friends & Family Sale Haul! ( It's a really MINI one )

I am back with another haul! I just love doing haul posts because they are just so much fun and I love sharing with you guys what I got recently :) So without further ado, here is what I got from the sale and trust me it's like nothing compared to some other people.. And I know Stacey would be proud/happy for me! :D

*DRUMROLL PLEASE! * MY VERY FIRST YSL LIPSTICKS!!! :D :D I was so freaking happy when I saw them at my Sephora I didn't even know that they had it there! So I'm assuming that they just lauched YSL just recently.



The packaging the lipsticks came in! So gorgeous right? Well wait till you see the next picture..



BAM! Aren't they freaking gorgeous?!?! :D

Left to Right: 1 Beige Charnel ( Nude Beige ) & 26 Peche Tendresse ( Tender Peach )



I love how the middle part is the same color as the lipstick which would make it ALOT easier to find if you were a lipstick junkie like me... Not as bad as my blush stash I don't think..

And I was also excited was that I got to use my 20% off coupon with it so I saved almost $16 CAN!! I only had to pay around $60 for both which isn't all that bad compared to when I have to pay the full price which would run me around $76! Eeekkk!

Sorry I didn't provide any swatches but I just want to admire them a little bit longer before I use them. Wow that just sounded dumb.. O_O



I got this with my 500 point perk and it's awesome because I get a FULL size of the Benefit Dandelion boxed powder! :D I think I might have all of the boxed powder from Benefit O_O



I also made a spontaneous trip to LUSH because I've been seeing all these awesome review of their Christmas stuff and I wanted to see for myself if it's worth the hype. When I first walked in the smell was definitely overwhelming but after awhile I got use to the smell. After a good 10 minutes in there, I ended up getting two items: Strawberry Feels Forever ( a massage bar ) and Lemony Flutter ( cuticle butter )

I will say that LUSH is actually pretty expensive because my total came up to almost $30 O_O so I can't say if it is worth the price/spending your money so I will definitely be doing a updated post when I've tested the product enough.

Well that concludes another post from me! Hope you guys enjoyed it and let me know if you picked anything from the Family & Friends Sale or even just recently! :)
