Over the past year, I've painted, brushed, applied, and moisturized MANY a beauty product. There were definite hits (the products listed below) and unfortunately, major misses too. The products below range from eye shadows and blushes, to moisturizers and hair products - and they are my favorites of 2012!
Enjoy!!
NYC Sunny Bronzer
a wonderful matte brown bronzer; it might be the least expensive item I used all year

Maybelline Eye Tattoo -Bad to the Bronze
