So I was at Ulta the other day and I saw the Katy Perry Lashes on display. I forgot all about them! There are 4 different varieties: Oh, My! (full, bold lashes), Sweetie Pie (natural looking), Oh, Honey! (natural but fuller), and Cool Kitty (full, bold lashes but shorter than Oh, My!). They . . . → Read More: Katy Perry Lashes]]>

Check out all the lashes!

I haven’t had a chance to try out the lashes yet. Have you seen or tried Katy Perry’s Lashes yet?

I thought it would be fun if I compiled a list of my favorite products I tried during 2011. Some of these products have been on the market for awhile and some of them were introduced in 2011.

I thought it would be fun if I compiled a list of my favorite products I tried during 2011. Some of these products have been on the market for awhile and some of them were introduced in 2011. I didn’t realize how many product reviews I posted until I started to go through all the posts I had written thus far. It was a lot! I also noticed I didn’t write a lot of reviews for products I had gotten and tried this past year. I guess that means lots more reviews for 2012!

Find out which products made my Favorite Products list!

Hair

Coy Build Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner

I cannot explain to you how much I love Coy’s Build Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. After every use, my hair looked and felt so smooth, light, and soft.

Remington 3-in-1 Styler

I love the Remington 3-in-1 Styler for one reason: the beach wave attachment. It is the answer to quick and easy beach wavy hair.

Makeup

Kiss Me Heroine Make Mascara Remover

The Kiss Me Heroine Make Mascara Remover ranks as my all-time favorite mascara remover. It’s the answer to removing the heavy-duty-doesn’t-budge-no-matter-how-much-remover-I-use mascara. Plus, you don’t have to worry about spilling, taking up a lot of space, and it’s super travel friendly.

NYX Propel My Eyes Mascara

What I love about NYX’s Propel My Eyes mascara is that it’s the type of mascara you would use if you didn’t want your lashes looking obviously fake and gooped with mascara. Propel My Eyes gave my lashes the appropriate amount of lift and volume to grab attention, but yet still look natural.

Palladio Tinted Lip Balm

I am a lip balm fanatic, and I have tried many lip balms. Believe me when I say the Palladio Tinted Lip Balm is amazing! The lip balm is long lasting and moisturizing. The best part? It gives a pop of color to your lips at the same time. It’s a lip balm, lipstick, and lipgloss all rolled into one. Gotta love multi-purpose products.

Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary 24/7 Eye Pencil Set

Words cannot describe how much I love the Urban Decay 15 Year Anniversary 24/7  Eye Pencil Set. My reasoning for purchasing this besides for my love of Urban Decay eyeliners? I got 15 full sized eyeliners for $92. Normally, they would’ve cost me $255+ had I bought them individually.

Nails

Revlon Liquid Quick Dry

Revlon Liquid Quick Dry was indeed quick drying. It was able to dry my nail polish in less than 5 minutes. No joke! In less than 5 minutes!

Skin

Arcona Bronze Tinted Self-Tanner

I saved the best product for last. Arcona’s Bronze Tinted Self Tanner is my absolute favorite product from 2011. The Arcona Self-Tanner gave me a natural looking tan; not an orange tint in sight! My friends and family couldn’t even tell the difference between my real tan and the Arcona Self-Tanner.

What were you’re favorite products for 2011?

Did you hear? The color for 2012 has been named. It’s Tangerine Tango! Tangerine Tango is a vibrant reddish orange shade.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

Here are some inspirations to get your Tangerine Tango groove on!
