favorite products of 2009

i am so ready for 2010! for me, 2009 [beauty wise] was when i learned what looks and works for me and not to try to do something out of my comfort zone cause usually i cn't rock itt.

ACNE FREE SKIN CARE SYSTEm
this has saved my skin. although it didn't vanish my acne, it reduced it majorly!

LIPSTICKS
i don't like the dark pigmention of mt lips. lipsticks just make me feel like a rockstar ya knoww? i really like MAC's Hue, L'oreals Color RICHE in fairest nude. loveeee.

L'OREAL LINEUR INTENSE
i've always hated using liquid liner. it always came out uneven, and was so hard to use! not with this baby. love it. i just reccommended it to one of my friends today actually and she loves it!

BARE STUDY PAINT POT
really good eye shadow base. at first, me and this product didn't come off to a good start. he was kinda dry and goopy. but now he's smoooth and creamy! and he doesn't crease on me woooot!!

MAC 'HEY' EYEDHADOW
you can only find this in the fafi eyes 1 quad which is LE. but this color is sososososso pretty. it compliments my skintone and looks pretty natural.

MAC 217 BRUSH
AWESOME. GET IT NOW. I LOVE IT.

EQUATE NEUTROGENA OIL FREE MAKEUP REMOVER
it gently removes the makeup including the oh-so-lovely mascara with ease.

VIVA LA JUICY EDP
love! works well with my body chemistry. i get lots of compliments on it. it has a fruity sweet smell but still ugh idk! i like it. kinda strong for my taste but still bearable.

CHI SILK INFUSION
i love it! it gets rid of my hair's frizziiness and smooths it down. seriously, my hair dries straighter cause of this stuff. i don't even use flat irons anymore.

soo thats basically it!
tell me YOUR favorite products :)

Products That I don't love =(

The title says it all. These products are things that I don't reccommend just because they have not worked for me.

MAC Dazzleglass- too sticky/thick. waste of $18.

Clinique's Dramatically Moisturizing Lotion- i used to like it but its making my skin too oily and it's clogging my pores.

Icing Nail Polishes- not pigmented. finish is dry. not long-wearing.

NYX's Jumbo EyeShadow Pencil- it creases on me after 20 minutes. It would work if you have drier lids.

MACARAS-note : i have stubby lashes. so these mascaras just did not do much for me at all. WILL NOT REPURCHASE.

-CG Lashblast
-CG Lashblast Length
-DuWop Lash Venom< worst.
-Stila's Multi-Effect
-BadGal Lash from Benefit
-Bare Escuentals Buxom Lash
-Maybelline's Lash Discovery
-Maybelline's Define-A-Lash(both the green & pink)
-L'oreals Panamonic Curl?



*I have purchased all of these products with my own money. I am not affilated with any of these companies. This is my honest opinion.

Current favorites/HG materials.

So i'm the kind of person who loooves to try new products and can never stay faithful to one. i'm a cosmetics whore =\
anyways, there are a new products that i like[almost LOVE] & have re-purchased.

SKIN:
-acnefree : this is my skin savior.
-nivea's soft refreshingly moisturizing cream. : makes my body sooo soft and moisturized without the stickiness/greasey feeel.
-neutrogena's oil-free eye makeup remover: best eye makeup remover evuh! although it's oily, it takes everything off! i have tried the non-brand name ones{target, cvs, etc} & i personally prefer the equate's one that you can get at walmart.
-aquanil HC: you cant buy this at the drugstore. i bought mine online at dermstore.com
it reliefs itch, rash, and bodyacne.
-dove's skin revitalizer: good for a deeper clean. I like using this when i break out because it seems to stop my skin from going crazier. Also good for sensitive skin.

MAKEUP:
eyeliner: l'oreal linuer intense. this product makes liquid eyeliner application a breeeze! srsly, i used to hate liquid liner but now i lllllooooves it.
as for pencil liners i like revlon colorstay & urban decay's 24/7

mascara: havven't found my HG but i do reallllly like the l'oreal telescopic mascara. but i'm lemming for the MUFE smoky lash.

lipgloss: MAC's Cremesheen Glass- this lipgloss is NOT sticky and not thick. gives incredible shine and lasts for a good amount of time. WAY better than the dazzleglasses.

lipstick: MAC's Hue. My perfect nudey pink lip.

lipbalm: CARMEX. cheap. effective. spf15. amazing.

eyeshadow: MAC has amazing eyeshadows, but i prefer NYX's just cause they're affordable.

HAIR:
samysilk: best hair replenishing stuff. makes my dry ends look alive, but the kitchen-lemony smell is not a plus.

CHI silk infusion. good to put in your hair to give it shine and smoothness.

NAILS:
i am loving OPI's Lincoln Park at Midnight. It's a nice dark plum with purple/silver shimmer. A great fall colour.

skincare routine

so i'm still a sophomore in high school so my skins goingg ccrrrazzzzzzy.
but i've struggled with serious acne since 6th grade. i'm talking about like pimples evv'where. and i mean more than 10.
i've been to the dermatologist about 4 times. the first time, the prescription worked amazing! it was clinamycin. but after about a year, it stopped working.
after that i went to a different dermatologist and all of the treatments did NOT work for me.
i've also tried proactiv, clinique, neutrogena, and blahblahblahhhhaha.
but i've found a routine where it reduced it by alot! and my acne is starting to go away, but scars take its place. =\ grr.
but i'll live. scars go away in time.

in the morning:
-cleanse with cetaphil. just a gentle cleanser to remove oils

-tone with clinique's acne solutions clarifying lotion. =LLLOOOOOVE :) best thing from clinique[in my opinion] its a good way to kind of wake you up and have a extra clean face to start the new day! [side note: i don't like the rest of the acne solutions kit]

-moisturize with clinique's dramatically different lotion with neutrogena's ultra sheer dry sunblock w/ spf 70. i mixed in the spf cause i love this moisturizer & others tend to make me either reallllly oily or break me out. plus i don't want to look 60 when i'm 30..

oh & i do NOT wear makeup on my face. no concealer, no powder, nadaa. keeping my face as good as possible.


NIGHT
-remove eye makeup with lancome bi-facil. [i prefer neutrogenas oil-free makeup remover]
-cleanse with acnefree's cleanser. it has really tiny microbeads and its thick so you can massage it around your face nicelyy.
-tone with acnefree's toner. it's almooost as good as the clinique one. lol
-apply acnefree's repair lotion --amazing stuff :)
-apply C&C's persa gel 10 to ZITs =\
-apply CVS' mederma scar gel
-apply eye cream. im currently lovin' azure cosmeuticals hydro peptide.




yup, its a loooot. but its worth it.
i suggest you girlys getting at least 7 hours of sleep, drink lots of water, and don't touch your face! your hands carry so much, its disgusting.
