Questions:
1-Which lipstick/ lipgloss did you use most often in 2010?
This was HARD!!!!! Since I always change my lipstick colour depending on mood/season/outfit or rest of makeup I had trouble narrowing it down 😛 I looked in my purse to see which lipstick I’m grabbing all the time and I came up with this:
Avon Ultra Color Rich in Rose Gold (picture is not exactly identical!):
I think I keep reaching for it because I feel like it brightens my face even if I’m not wearing a lot of eye makeup or if I just feel a little “blah”. It has gold flecks or shimmer in it too which makes it really pretty. It goes on really smoothly and isn’t too pigmented so it still looks somewhat “neutral” and work appropriate.
2-What was your favorite eyeshadow this year?
Another hard one! I change up my eyeshadow pretty often, but on weekdays I do tend to do the same neutral look.
Avon 12-in-1 eyeshadow palette:
I really like this eye shadow palette because it gives me a lot of colours to play with all in one. They pay off is really nice too. See my review here.
3-What product for the complexion (foundation, blush, etc.,) did you use the most?
This is the product I had been using for most of the year though in the past couple of months I have been trying out liquid foundations.
Avon Smooth Minerals foundation:
I really like mineral foundation – I used to use Bare Essentials but when I started selling Avon I didn’t see a huge difference in the way the Avon version looked and the price was much more affordable.
The blush I’ve been using for most of the year is Avon True colour blush in heavenly pink:
It looks really bright in the compact but with the right brush (not the brush in the compact) it goes on really nice and sheer and give my face that pop of colour it needs to look alive 😉
I also really like Too Faced Shadow Insurance:
I got a sample from Sephora and it was amazing!! I will definitely be picking up the full size version of this. I have oily skin and my eyelids will often not hold makeup on – with this stuff my makeup doesn’t budge! I have yet to try it in really humid conditions though but so far so good.
4-Your favorite nail polish color of 2010?
Honestly I couldn’t pick a favorite colour because this year I’ve actually been experimenting with a bunch and I like a lot of different colours for different reasons. I decided to add my favorite nail product of 2010 which is hands down Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat:
I first discovered this product from Jen at From Head To Toe and I’ve been hooked! I did a post on it on my other blog and since then so many of my friends have picked it up too 🙂
5-Which skin care product would you not give up under any circumstances?
I would have to say my Clarisonic Brush. I’ve only been using it for a month now but I love how it makes my skin feel and how my face cream goes on. So soft and smooth!
6-What is your favorite personal care product?
I think I’m going to skip this one. I don’t have any personal care product preferences.
7-Your usually worn fragrance in 2010?
I LOVE this perfume and I ALWAYS get compliments when I wear it. In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon for Avon:
It’s a very romantic scent. And I just love the bottle too!
8-What was your personal favorite jewelry piece?
My strand of pearls from my husband 🙂
9-What have you discovered in 2010 that is new for you (new products, inspirations, blogs, hobbies, etc.,)?
In 2010 I discovered the Seche Vite Top coat, the Clarisonic brush in terms of products. I have new style inspirations thanks to all my lovely blogger friends. I guess I’ve discovered a new hobby in blogging too!
10-Do you have resolutions for 2011? If so, what are they?
I blogged my resolutions here.

I’m glad to hear you love the Clarisonic brush!! I love mine – couldn’t live without it!
I also love my Clarisonic! (But admittedly, I’m so lazy I don’t use it as often as I should.)
Love Seche Vite – I love how fast it dries my nail polish!
Love all your choices ^_^ – thanks for the note about Avon mineral powder – I currently use BE too, so if one day I run out, I will try out Avon. I like their facial lotions a lot – I feel like they exfoliate well (I use the Renew)
I keep hearing rave reviews about the clarisonic i might have to try it out soon 🙂
I just recently got the Seche Vite too! I haven’t tried it out yet but I’m looking forward to it 🙂
Love Avon!
XOXO,

Oh, I have that problem too where my eye shadow congregates in the crease of my eyelid and by the end of the day I have only a line’s worth of shadow left. I’m going to try this Too Faced Shadow Insurance from Sephora. Thanks for sharing!

I tried out the urban decay one a while back and it seemed to work ok for me – but I didn’t buy it – I tried it in the store so I don’t know if that’s an accurate review! The Too Faced I was able to get a sample from Sephora as it’s kind of a “paste” I guess that’s the best way I can describe it and it really does work for me! My eyeshadow is usually sliding all over the place!
How do you compare Too Faced Shadow Insurance to Urban Decay’s Primer Potion? I have such oily lids that I don’t find UDPP to do too much. I’ve heard good things about the Clarisonic Brush, so will definitely be trying that out!
Thanks for tagging me! I’m excited to do it.
I have never heard of the perfume you mentioned, but now I really want to smell it. I really love Reese Witherspoon (as an actress and her style). She’s so classic.
I also want to try the Two Faced Shadow Insurance. I hate when eyeshadow wears off or your eyeliner kind of migrates…
I’m so excited I got tagged! This is my first beauty tag! I’ll have to post mine on the weekend. hehe, blogging is my new found hobby too! I’ve been hearing lots of love for the clarisonic from reading blogs and watching youtubes, and am thinking of buying one as well!
Echoing your favorites! Pearls, Clarisonic, too faced (dsk steph sent me a little sample to try!), and Seche vite which I discovered the same time as you when Jen posted about it : )
I don’t have any Avon products but I do love flipping through the little catalogues. Everything is so affordable!
The Avon lipstick is gorgeous!

nice…i gotta try eyeshadow insurance…i have the same problem!
@Lilly
Hope you love it!
Someone loves Avon!
I agree w/Seche Vite. Once you change to this top coat, you never go back! At first, I hated painting my nails b/c it took forever to dry, but w/Seche, dries in a minute! Love!
I also am a huge fan of Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Holds my shadow all day!!
Great favorites! Today I bought Seche Vite since I’ve heard so many bloggers rave about it.
