Hello everyone! Some of you might be already tired of hearing it, but happy new year! Personally I'm extremely excited about 2012, I hope to get my bachelor's degree this year and my second goal is to get my own place (and an adorable cat to live with of course!). However, right now I'm still enjoying my holiday break and really wanted to update my blog again, too much time has passed since my last post! Today I'm going to show you my favourite products of 2011. I still use a lot of my 'favourites of 2010' (with the exception of the LE gel eyeliner, foundation and concealer) so if you'd like to see more of my all-time favourites I suggest taking a look at that blogpost as well! Below you can see my favourite products of last year (I've added the links to the reviews as well):

L'Oréal True Match Foundation: I exchanged my Maybelline Superstay Foundation for True Match by L'Oréal a couple of months ago. Superstay is still a bit of a favourite, but I prefer True Match because it looks more natural on me and gives me a bit of a glowy/dewy finish. The lightest shade (Rose Ivory) is also the perfect match for my pale skin. I'll repurchase this over and over!

Essence Silky Touch Blush: I have the shade 'Adorable' and even though I'm not a huge fan of blush, I do love this one! A perfect everyday blush for the pale skinned ladies out there.

Sleek Luminaire Highlighting Concealer: I don't use this when I need/want flawless coverage, but it's the perfect tool to use when you want to look fresh and bubbly! Didn't get enough sleep? Grab this concealer and no one will notice.

Beauty Essentials Make-up Sponges: In 2011 I developed a love for make-up sponges, since I've been using a sponge to apply my foundation I have never used a brush or my fingers again. Sponges give me better coverage and they do the job very quickly.

Eye Charm Lash Glue: I wouldn't say that this is the best lash glue out there, but it's definitely not a bad one! I prefer using this one over others because it comes with a handy little brush and it's super cheap.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion: It's fantastic stuff! I don't use this every single day (it is a bit expensive) but it's one of the best eyeshadow primers out there.

Louise Young Essential Eye Palette: This is probably my ultimate favourite, I use this every single day. The eye shadows are very pigmented and super easy to blend. It has the perfect highlighter, the perfect shade for my brows and the black works great as an eyeliner.

MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick: I'm a lipstick junkie (I have a crazy collection of NYX lipsticks), but this one from MAC has been my favourite lipstick for months now! If you're also a fan of that bubblegum pink shade, you might like my 'comparison post' ;)

Sleek Wonderlast Lipgloss: Okay, Pink Parakeet is not the most wearable shade, but this is really a great product! I was seriously amazed the first time I tried it, it's SUPER pigmented. Oh, and if you like pigmented lip products, I'd definitely take a look at the Sleek Pout Paints as well.



MUA Nail Polish Shade 17: I thought it was a simple clear nail polish at first, but it turned out to be an amazing base coat! It really forms the perfect protective layer between my naked nails and nail polish. MUA has great eye shadows as well, but that's a different story.

Derma E Cleansing Enzyme Mask: Did I save the best for last? Probably! I haven't written a review yet, but I can already tell you that this mask is incredible. It comes in a tube, dries hard, doesn't smell weird, is easy to remove and it made my irritated skin soft and smooth again! A real lifesaver.


I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourite products! What kind of amazing products did you discover last year?
