My Best of 2006.

December 29, 2006/

I have discovered so many great new beauty products this year - some new, some tried and true, but new to me - that I am having such a difficult time narrowing down my "Favorite Things" list for the year.

One thing that I can easily add to the list is you, my faithful and loyal readers. Without you, there would be no beauty blog - and I would have no other way to show and express my joys of beauty searching. So to you all, I thank you for your continued support.

Onto the list. Here I present My Favorite Things 2006.

Smashbox Photofinish Primer - I don't know what took me so long, but I cannot live without this now.
Tarte Cosmetic's Lights. Camera, Lashes! Mascara - I think this is my hg mascara find.
Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit - a great kit to get started with BareMinerals, and I am happy to have finally become a BEliever.
Benefit Cosmetics Weather Girl Palette - I take this out to use at least twice a week - lovin' it!
Lancome Flash Retouche Concealer - I use this daily to cover and brighten my under eye area.
BourJois Lip Gloss Cell Phone Charm - the cutest and best accessory ever!
Clinique Brush On Cream Eye liner - so easy to use and blend - and stay on all day!
MAC's Holiday Velvet Smoked Eye Shadow Palette - the perfect combination of shadows I use almost daily.
Bliss Spiff Upper Lip - I use this twice a day to fill in lines, plump my lips, and stop hair growth.
Cle de Peau La Creme - the most luxurious moisturizing cream e-v-e-r!
DuWop Revolotion Face - a tinted moisturizer that lightens, brightens, and covers.
ModelCo Tan Airbrush in a Can - the best body self-tanner I have ever tried.
Philosophy's Purity Cleanser - I don't think I will ever use anything else to cleanse and freshen.
Essie Nail Polishes - too many to name, but they continue to work the best for me.
Estee Lauder High Gloss Lip Gloss - a lip gloss fave that I have multiples of.
Tom Ford - the fragrance, the man, and the collections - can't wait to see what will come from him next year.
Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Shampoo & Conditioner - my hair never looked or behaved better when using these.
Bond No. 9 Fragrances - I was reintroduced to fragrance this year thanks to Bond and their wonderful scents.

Pink is The Word!

Do I really have to wait until February to get my hands on this pink pleasure palette?

It is from none other than Benefit Cosmetics, and it is called, appropriately enough - Hopelessly Devoted to Pink. And it will be on counter just in time for Valentines Day! Yipee!

Hopelessly Devoted to Pink looks similar to this past falls Weather Girl Palette, featuring 3 shadows and lip creams in shades of pink, with brush, and mirror. And in a cutie-pie box too. Don't ya just love Benefit's packaging? All for $28.

I can't wait to try it. Pink is for me!!!

Gift Cards Galore!

December 27, 2006/

Let's here it for the Gift Cards! I hope Santa brought you some to your favorite stores.

I love, love, love Gift Cards. I dropped hints to everyone that I need new "pretty things" from Victoria's Secret, which I do - really. But I forgot to tell them about the huge line of Beauty products they carry now. Oops!

So besides some pretty new undergarments, look at what else I picked up online from their ever expanding beauty department:

Very Sexy Makeup Mosaic Blush - looking for a new everyday blush and this looks do-able in Love Life.

Girl2go Naked Eyes Eye Makeup Remover Wipes - these look so convenient, I am just hoping they do the job and leave no after oils or film.

Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara - because I am running low on this favorite of mine.

Pout Illuminator- selected this in love glow, which is an iridescent pearl to highlight and refresh (hopefully look that way, anyway).

Patricia Wexler, M.D. Universal Anti-Aging Cleanser - been wanting to try something from this line and who doesn't need an anti-aging something?

DuWop Eye Palette - in Gray as I have been eyeing this for awhile now - can't have enough eye makeup!

That's it. How do you think I did? I can't wait to get everything - and shipping was FREE too. Right now a $100 purchase and the code SEMI is all you need to qualify for it.
