The Year So Far........

Let's assess the year so far, shall we? The year started out in a bit of a funk but the landing of a job (yay!) has changed more than my financial situation and I am finally feeling like my old self! However I remain a complete and utter slacker with regards to my evening skincare routine...Anyways towards the end of last year I really got into swapping and some lovely additions landed in my stash and some losers went on to loving homes...

2010
Items Swapped or Given Away -61   (my swappers always benefit from my loser list)
Items Received in Swap- 22   (does not include skin & body care or nail polish)
Items Added to Stash by Other Means- 33  (includes items bought from gc's rec'd in swap)

My 2010 Favorites so Far.....

Face

I am really impressed by Coverfx primer, I use it on days that I don't use Genifique on those days I am really impressed by Lancome's La Base Pro BUT the new BE brightening primer is pretty awesome! I have yet to find an eye primer that sends me over the moon but BE's primetime eyes is on the launch pad. I remain in love with mineral foundations wether it be Bare Escentuals or Lancome. The best 4.99 (awesome sale at Soft Surroundings) I spent was for the T.LeClerc Terre de Sienne powder it is the most lovely bronzing powder. Undereye? The Thierry Mugler Bleu Glacis is the savior. BE's Mineral Veil is always in my bag if I get too glowy during the day...

Blush

Rock & Rerpublic, awesome pigmentation, awesome packaging, and just the loveliest colors ever...

Eye Shadow

Dior, there is magic in those blue compacts of color. I am not sure what it is but I am never displeased...

Lancome, the colors, the formula, the texture, what is there not to love?
