Bought and Loved Products of 2010

Today is the last day of 2010, and this year has been such a rush. I have to admit that I really slacked off with this blog during this entire year, and I have not really posted much at all. It has been a really rough year, and there were a lot of unfortunate things (which I won't go into detail because I don't need to burden you all with my stories) that have happened. It really hindered my progress on this blog. I hope you all forgive me, and I will try my hardest to improve in 2011 to really deliver what you were all expecting to see. I am very backed up in reviews and such, and I feel so bad about it. Thank you for all of you who are still with me. I can't wait to start fresh in the new year, and for the last post of the year, I decided to do my Bought and Loved Products post that was very well received last year.

Please note that these are products that I have bought and used for 2010 ONLY, and they do not include products that I still love that I bought in previous years. I decided to do this because if I didn't, the list would just go on and on. I hope you all enjoy nonetheless. If there are any products any of you want a full review on (and you don't mind waiting awhile for it XD) please let me know, and I will add it to my never ending list.

• Nexcare 3M Acne Dressing - These little acne patches from Nexcare have been a life saver and really helpful throughout this year. These are basically little semi-clear circle patches you can stick on pimples, and it will help the process go by faster. For pimples that have already come to a head, I stick one of these suckers on before bed and the next morning the patch will have sucked out all of the sebum (yeah, I know it sounds kind of gross XD). All in all, I love these! The only bad thing about it is that it is only available in Asia so I have to get my cousin to send me stock every couple of months.


• Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion - We all know that sunscreen is a necessity, rain or shine! But I have to be honest, I never liked wearing sunscreen because it made my face sticky and greasy and my face is oily enough on its own. Therefore, I use to often just skip out on it all together even though that is a really bad habit. I saw this product at TJ Maxx and decided to pick it up on a whim. My gosh! I am so happy that I did because it has changed my perception on sunscreen. It's a liquidy type of sunscreen which I love because it's light and not sticky at all! Most of all it doesn't make my face more oily than it normally would be. Now, I don't mind putting sunscreen on at all.


• Shiseido Perfect Oil - I truly bought this on a whim, because I saw it at one of my local Asian grocers for a really good price. I've personally always tried to stay away from cleansing oils because I was afraid they would just make my face more oily or prone to breakouts. I use to use my Clinique makeup remover to remove my eye makeup, and use makeup removing wipes to remove my face makeup. Now I just use this product all over my face and it literally takes EVERYTHING off! Waterproof mascara, eyeliner, sticky glosses, you name it. It will come off. Best of all, it doesn't break me out. It is water activated, so after I massage the oil all over my face to dissolve my makeup, I just splash my face with water and it turns into this milky substance. It's almost like a milk cleanser. After it's all off my face, there's no greasy feeling at all.


• Shu Uemura Face Architect Foundation - This was my first ever high end foundation, and I absolutely love this. It doesn't make my face break out, which is always a plus, and it's really light. It does not make my face cakey, and all in all I am glad I picked this up during one of their sales.


• Rock & Republic Contrived Pressed Blushes - These blushes are pretty self-explanatory. Everyone has been crazy for these, and I have a total of 6 that I picked up! They are super pigmented and finely milled. I love these, and ever since I started using them I pretty much neglected all of my other blushes. These are a definite a must have!

• Urban Decay Naked Palette - This palette is a gem, and I'm sure everyone has heard about it because it was such a hard item to get your hands on. I'm always traveling back and forth from my parent's house and my apartment at school all year long. This palette is great because I can just take this and I am all set. I don't wear eyeshadow on a daily basis but if I do, most of the time I tend to stick to the good old neutrals. It's the only palette I have been using since I got it and it is worth every penny.


• Lancome Artliner - I love this eyeliner, period. It's so easy and quick, and I have been using it everyday for the past 6 months. I love how black it is, and it does not smudge on me at all. I have tried the alternative L'oreal one, but I still prefer this one any day.


• Shiseido Majolica Majorica Lash Expander Frame Plus - This mascara is awesome! It makes my lashes super long and it has impeccable staying power. I was hesitant to try it at first because I was afraid the fibers would flake off and get into my contacts, but it doesn't. The comb like brush is wonderful because I can apply my mascara with ease. It also works wonders for my lower lashes!


• Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil - This was my first eyebrow pencil ever, and I have to say for the price it works wonderfully. I used it for most of 2010 until recently. I have stopped using it because my hair is no longer dyed brown and they only come in brownish colors. However, if you have brown hair and want a cheap but effective brow pencil give this a try.

• The Face Shop Color Shimmer Lipstick - I picked this up at The Face Shop store in LA during the summer, and I have to say it's really good. It reminds me of the Dior High Shine lipsticks I love because it gives off the same effect. The texture and pigmentation is similar. So basically these lipsticks are a good dupe for the Dior High Shines for a fraction of the cost. I am definitely going to pick up a few more colors the next time I am there.


• Chanel Aqualumiere Lipstick - My first Chanel lipstick, and I have to say if it wasn't so expensive I'd be hauling these like crazy. They are so smooth and moisturizing, and they do not make my lips peel at all.


• MAC Pro-Long Lustre Lip Color - I have one of these that I got at the CCO, and it has been my go to lip gloss this winter. I love how long lasting it is, and I never have to worry too much about reapplying. I can drink my tea without lip color all over it. I also love the gloss end it comes with because it gives such a beautiful finish. I need to get my hands on more of these!


• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss - My favorite drugstore lip gloss! I have 6 of these, and for anyone who wants a good affordable gloss definitely give these a try. I used these a lot during this past summer.

I hope you all have a great new year with friends and family! See you all in 2011!

Title: Coalesce - The Plot Against My Love

"The Plot Against My Love" from the Coalesce album entitled "Ox" (2009). If you love fast-paced metal such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, odds are you will love this album if you happen to pick it up. Lyrics: I had to cut them off. They had me bought and sold. They plot against my love with my fears in their hands. I climbed into bed with no will to refuse them. If for just one night. In my haste I had to cut them off my flesh. I bought our lives in bulk. Refused sacrifice. I would not concede this damn curse that binds my blood. I am lost when my blood guides my hand and chooses to ignore. When my personal passover is a failure to discern an obvious liar. They write in anger that what they own is theirs, and they replace charity with a hollow gesture. They recruit angry fools to replace the old law that was handed down to them and fulfilled with their own sick and twisted games. They can be kept with little effort as no one checks but once a week. And only but a few will make them turn their heads. They tithe as a purchase of right. As a pack of liars they set themselves as the standard, and put you in your place where you always belonged, but were too foolish to understand. Sub to their culture of pretenders in their white sheets that will sway easy to their will. I had to cut them off of my flesh, I had to separate the head from the body the way that I would any other serpent. Grown men told me they loved me then disappeared. Grown men demanded apologies of me. None were given. But I've bit my tongue and checked my heart. I cut off my flesh and I conceded my fear to flee. I was left behind while our business took its seat in its rightful place. In the hearts of business men. I am lost. I was questioned and refused. I was given something you could say was a gift. But I do not. Free is cheap and what's cheap is tossed. It's what we are taught. And in that we have always trusted firm. I have faith that this promise will not be overturned.
