High End Makeup Brands I became a HUGE fan of: MAC, NARS, Chanel
Drugstore Makeup Brands I became a HUGE fan of: Revlon, Wet & Wild, NYX

Makeup Brands that disappointed:
Certain Chanel products–for the money,pigmentation should be up to par.
Urban Decay: more along the lines of how they promoted Naked 2-it was shady and rubbed me the wrong way.
Sigma: advertising whores. I’d rather pay double for MAC brushes in the future.

I can’t wait to see what new & exciting beauty items catch my eye in 2012!!

Thanks again to my beautiful friend, Katrina for sending me these beauty makeup goodies! xoxo
