Best Products of 2009 Wrapup

At the request of her fans it looks like Lillipop26 will start doing an end of year wrap up of her favorite products. Though actually recorded in 2010, this 2009 wrap up video has a list of more than 20 favorites of skin care and makeup products. Here are few of Lollipop26’s favorites, some of you true Lollipop26 fans probably already have many of these products in your bathroom...but here we go.

Clinique Superdefense which really wakes up the skin in the morning. This is an age defense moisturizer for visible signs of aging and is available for all skin types. Many department stores have Clinique counters making it relatively easy to find this product. You can also purchase it online at http://www.clinique.com/templates/products/mpp/index.tmpl?ngextredir=1&CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY21971 .

Kiehl’s creamy eye treatment with avocado. This cream doesn’t irritate the eyes or leave them puffy compared to other eye creams Lollipop26 has tried in the MAC and Clinique. The eye treatment can be purchased at some makeup stores an online at http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/face/eye-area-preparations/creamy-eye-treatment-with-avocado.htm for around $20.00. 

By Terry’s Baume de Rose IP/SPF 15.  Lollipop26 uses this as lip treatment at night.  According to the source this product has become a must have for Hollywood stars.  Baume de Rose is a melt-away balm, which has become the must-have of Hollywood stars as a treatment to repair, nourish, regenerate and lastingly protect the lips.  This ultra-rich product is also a precious salve to care for and strengthen the cuticles. This product may be particularly hard to find in the U.S. except in large cities Like New York, L.A. or Chicago for example.  However, it can be purchased directly from the website http://www.byterry.com/skin-care/rose-skincare/protect/baume-de-rose-anglais.html .  Also, Sephora sells a few By Terry products.  Check out their inventory online as well.

Bobbi Brown- The Creamy Concealer.  Blends in well and is very creamy on the skin. This is a yellow-based concealer that instantly camouflages dark circles. The creamy consistency ensures that it goes on smoothly, providing full, but natural looking coverage. It’s also an award winning product.  The Chestnut Creamy Concealer was featured as a 'Best Beauty Buy' in "InStyle" Magazine (May 2010).

Nars Sheer Glow.  It’s semi-matte so it doesn’t make your skin look dry at the same time it also doesn’t make your skin oily.  This is a medium coverage foundation which gives you good coverage.  People say that Revlon Photo Ready is the cheaper version of Nars Sheer Glow which Lollipop26 will be trying.

Sephora- The Professional Round Powder Brush. Lollipop26 uses this particularly to apply bronzer but it can be used generally to blend powder products. Check out the Sephora website at http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P102923&categoryId=S4600&shouldPaginate=true .

Prestige Baked Bronze Mineral Powder. The gold in this product is very refined which reminds Lollipop26 of one of her other all time favorite MAC products; MAC Refined MSF.  This product can be purchased from several sources online and in stores for about $12. 

There were many other products that are not mentioned here.  She listed at least 4 or 5 favorite eye shadows from MAC last year to include Gleam, Sketch, Antiqued, Methology, and Glamor Check.  The Nars palette 9947 and a Nars bronzer also made the list.  There are also a few more products in Best of 2009 part 2.  Watch the entire Best of 2009 Part 1 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BYblx-Dqpo&feature=related and part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqjwpIv2Nm0&feature=channel .
