TOP 10 of 2010

2010 came to an end almost 2 weeks ago, and after reflecting on the products that I used this past year, I decided to compile a favorites list! Most of the products that I use can be found at your local drug store, Walmart or Target ! Of course it is never easy to shave down a list to only 10 things , but I am going to give it my best !!!
( In no particular order )


1) Maybelline Color sensational Lipsticks - I never really wore lipstick before trying these and they had me hooked from the start !! They literally glide on and feel so smooth on your lips !!

2) Cover Girl Wet Slicks Amazemint lipgloss - I LOVE lip glosses in general , but I was surprised by the quality of this drugstore find ! Not sticky and the minty smell is very pleasant !!

3) LOréal Collagen Mascara - I had a few favorite mascaras this year, but this one was the top drugstore brand for 2010 in my opinion. It does pretty much all it says it will and I love that !

4) Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish - for 3$ this stuff deserves a lot of credit ! The colors are amazing and they have pretty good staying power ! Aside from a few shades all of these are super pigmented and awesome!

5) Bioré Self Heating face Mask - This product was one of my favorites in this list. The mask heats on contact with water and gentle exfoliating beads disintegrate and turn the mask blue to let you know its time to stop scrubbing and rinse. My skin looked refreshed after every use ! Once a week is all you need to keep your skin nice and fresh!

6) Schwarzkopf Heat protectant Spray - I have tried other drug store heat protectants and find that they leave a residue in your hair no matter how much or how little you seem to apply - but not with this !  It keeps my hair nice and shiny and doesnt weigh it down with product. For 6$ its a great buy !

7) Aveeno Baby Body lotion - If you have dry , rough or eczema prone skin , this cream was my miracle ! I had tried every cream suggested to me by the pharmacist - until finally upon asking my doctor who told me about this one. My eczema finally found relief ! My dry legs and arms finally got the break from scratching that they were aching for - this is truly the BEST skin cream out there for dry, itchy skin !

8) Polysporin Lip Treatment - I suffer from dry cracked lips year round! Caused by the weather mostly but also from me licking my lips. I have tried many treatments before and Blistex came pretty close to this one , but for 2010 Polysporin was my go-to lip treatment. It heals your lips fast and therefore, has been a staple in my makeup case ever since I tried it this past November !

9) EcoTools brushes - Earlier in the year I found myself needing to change my makeup brushes , they were getting old and some had started shedding. Since they all seemed to need replacing at the same time , I decided to try and find a cheaper brand and not break the bank! I found Eco Tools - they are synthetic , eco-friendly brushes and they are some of the softest brushes I have ever touched ! They work great and are made from bamboo and synthetic eco-safe fibers.

10 ) Last but not least ... Elle by YSL - This perfume has been my perfume for almost 2 years now. I got it Christmas 2009 and after spending summer 2010 not using it , rediscovered it in the Fall of 2010 and fell in love all over again ! This perfume is my scent , it is sexy and sultry and womanly ! It makes my list because I still have yet to find a scent I love more !
