Klitsch from Aldo (this shoe, well I already have a plan for them, they will be my t-shirt and jeans shoes, I can't wait)

Favorites for the year of 2010

hey there loves,

So can you believe 2010 is almost over, did we all have a good year? I know I did, can't believe its over but such is life isn't it. I thought that I would take sometime out and list all the products that I reached for over the year the most. So here goes:

Makeup

Foundation: Me and my MAC Mineralize Satinfinish have been as thick as theives from the first time the girl put it on my face. I did want to try NARS Sheer Glow because some many people had been raving about it but that just never happen. Maybe in 2011..

Concealer: I'm currently using 2 concealers at the moment. Their both MAC however I just find myself liking the consistany I get when I use them both together. Their MAC Studio Finish & Studio Sculpt, i'm in the color NW 35 (which, funny story, is my actual skin color. The concealer matches my skin tone perfect, however I use NC45 in a foundation. Weird right?!? or is it, do you guys have the same thing going on...just a thought).

Powder: Well I don't know I can't function without my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark. I just goes on so smooth and it really does feel like i'm not wearing anything at all. That Mineralize Skinfinish line is a staple in my makeup routine, it's just really light and at some point I just really don't like a lot of makeup on my face (or at least the feel of a lot).

Blush: MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul, I bought it in the spring for a nice flush of color but not to much and just can't seem to keep my hands away from it. It's an DO EVERYTHING blush and a really good inversment.

Bronzer: I'm not a real "bronzer" kind of girl. I mean yes like everyone out there I have my own NARS Orgasm/Laguna duo(I actually got my hands on one when it first came out.....I'm talking to you NAKED palette) but I would say I've used it maybe during the winter months just so I don't look too pale(that's right, some black dolls get pale too).

Highlight: NARS Albatross, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Perfect Topping & MAC powder blush Honour.

Eyeshadow: I have loved and will always love MAC Mulch e/s, it's so my "go to" eyeshadow. But I have also been reaching for the MAC quad Colour 4, its got really great gold and bronze colors and thats pretty much what I like putting on my eyes. I find it really brings out the gold in my eyes. With that said, this would be(if I had it) where I would say that the NAKED palette is also getting a work out. But I was very snooozzing and well now I'm lossing. WHEN are they going to get more in stock...I really need this palette, i mean it came out in the summer for crying out loud....wow, that was not a good color on me. Sorry you dolls had to see that. Back to the list!

Eyeliner: NARS black moon & Bobby Brown creamy eye pencil in black 5

Eyeshadow primer/base: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Eyelash curler: Luckly i have naturally curlly lashes.

Mascara: I tried a lot this year but the one that I keep coming back to is Maybelline Great Lash blackest black!

Lipstick: MAC Hue; Dressmaker, Dressmaker; Creme in your Coffee; Girl About Town

Lipgloss: MAC Boy Bait; Richer, Lusher (really good with Dressmaker, Dressmaker & Hue); Get Rich Quick (great for the fall date nights); Do It Up & Funtabulous (both could be possible New Year's Eve dazzleglasses, just don't know yet. Need to find a nice lipstick to work with Funtabulous.)

Nail polish: China Glaze in Shocking Pink (neon) perfect for the summer, Coconut Kiss perfect for the feet in the beginning of fall.



Body

Shower gel/soap: Bath and Body Works Velvet Tuberose Shower gel

Body lotion/cream: Nivea Smooth Sensation & Essentially Enriched Lotion; Velvet Tuberose Body Lotion; Victoria's Secret Violet & Jasmine Hydrating Body Lotion.

Body exfoliator:

Hand cream: Nivea pocket hand creme; Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy Cream

Lip balm/treatment: Blistex in the blue container that's my bible. I live and die for this stuff, it's my crack. In fact if there was a study that came out saying that crack was found it this stuff I wouldn't be surprised and I wouldn't stop using it....that's our little sercet.

Perfume: I'm back to being a preppy Ralph Lauren Bitty, I'm back in love with my Ralph Lauren Romance, and Style for the winter. I tried to stop being snobby but I just can't do it. I LIVE for that fragence, boyfriend even tried to break the cycle with D&G light blue. While that's great, I still can't seem to break the cycle. And not to get on another rant but it's one thing for us ladies to buy our dudes a fragence but it is quite another for them to do the same. Esp. if its a new fragence, fragences say a lot about a woman.


Face

Cleanser: Clinique Rinse-Off Foam; I'm a lucky bitty I've always had clear skin just by nature. I usually don't wash with anything but my soap (I live for Dial) and that keeps me fresh. But when I'm feeling jazzy I break out the Rinse-Off Foam so i feel like im really doing some shit.

Toner/lotion: Olay Refreshing Toner

Moisturizer: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

Facial mask:

Exfoliator:

Makeup remover: MAC Facial Cleansing Towelettes

Okay dolls, thats my list I plan on branching out on a few things come the new year (I'm coming for you NAKED palette) but seriously, hope everyone has a great holiday and a happy new year! See you in 2011! ♥

Fall For Your Type!

Hey dolls,

So if your like me you live your life with a soundtrack in the back. Well, Jamie Foxx has put out a video to one of the songs on my soundtrack right now. His song "Fall For Your Type" was long said via the underground to actually have been Drakes but I guess Jamie cleared that up. The leading lady in the video is Jessica Burciaga, I love her and her makeup always looks flawless. Enjoy!

MAC to Release a Nicki Minaj "Pink Friday" lippy







Hey dolls,

So I was just watching Wendy Williams and I know that there had been a rumor about MAC releasing a lippy with the title "Pink Friday" to coincide with Nicki Minaj's debut album with the same name. Well, Wendy had it in her hot little hands! I looked like a cross between MAC Pink Nouveau and Girl About Town, which btw are 2 of my favorite going out MAC lippys. I have to say I am really excited about this and didn't want to post anything because it was still in the works as a rumor. But it is a rumor no more, I called my nearest MAC store and they gave me the lowdown.

The lady that answered was SO nice, she told me that the lipstick won't be carried in the store that it will just be online. It won't be available until the 26th of Nov. and it will only be available for 3 fridays. So basically we will need to get online at 12am, and stock up! I think i'll be good with 2 (I really hope that will be enough).

Hope this helps you Barbies!
