Favorites of 2011

I really wasn't sure if I wanted to do a favorites list until I realized there were a lot of products that were used almost on a daily basis, therefore, I felt they each deserved shout-outs. So without further ado I give you my H.G. items of 2011....

~Lotions~

*Philosophy Hope In A Jar: This was the first facial cream I've used that wasn't super oily. It's light in texture and gives the skin a nice rosy glow.

*Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Neck Cream: Before using this my neck had these little lines across it. I've been using this product since February and since then my neck and decollete look tight and amazing. I'm in love with this cream and what it's done for me.

~Washes~

*Philosophy Purity Made Simple & Microdelivery Wash: I've been using these washes since Dec. 2010 and have seen such a difference in my skin. My face has a nice glow and is so smooth. The added bonus is that you don't need to use a moisturiser immediately afterwards.

~Treatment~

*Philosophy Microdelivery Peel: I use this on a weekly basis and love the way it makes my face feel, not to mention I think it's helping to lighten my acne marks.

~Eye Makeup Remover~

*Philosophy Just Release Me:Not only does this easily remove eye makeup, it also conditions the eye area and works great when applied after plucking your eyebrows (takes away the redness).

~Face Primer~

*Laura Geller Spackle: This is a product that I use every single day...and have even found multiple purposes for it! Not only does it keep my makeup on all day but it works great at night for locking in any kind of moisturizer, feels amazing after you shave, and works wonders on sunburn!

~Mascara~

*Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes:It gives lashes the same length and fullness with the added benefit of being completely waterproof...or should I say bulletproof. There have been times I've washed my face before taking off my eye makeup and it was still on!

~Eye Shadow~

*Laura Geller Baked Eyeshadow/Eye Rimz Duo in Vanilla Toffee and Black Cherry: I got this in her Vanilla Nudes kit and every time I wear these I get compliments. I just love the pretty colors and the way it makes my eyes look more awake and brighter.

~Highlighter/Blush/Contour~

*Laura Geller Baked Cheek Dreams in Neapolitan: This also came in my Vanilla Nudes kit and I can say that this comes everywhere with me. Sweeping all three colors gives a really pretty blush but on a daily basis I use the highlighter and contouring portions. I use the French Vanilla highlighter to lock in my eye liner and to give my face a little more light . I also love the chocolate colored section to contour my cheeks, nose and chin. Love this!!!!!

~Lip Gloss~

*Laura Geller Lightbeams in Skinny Dip: I love using this to give my lipsticks a boost, especially for a nude lip. I find myself reaching for it at least twice a week. To me it has the perfect amount of shimmer to make your lips pop.

~Lipstick~

*Laura Geller Italian Marble Lipstick in Dolce: This is my perfect pink color. I actually had to try to stop using it so much because I felt bad that I was neglecting my other lip products. It's so pretty, gives a little bit of a glossy look, and feels just like a lip balm. This really is my perfect lipstick.

Well, that concludes my list. I have other products that I used on a daily basis but these were my favorites. If you haven't tried any of these I highly suggest that you do!
