Top 50 Beauty Products for 2011

Top 50 Beauty Products for 2011

I wanted to share my Top 50 Beauty Products for 2011. Some of these products I have been using for years and some I have only discovered this past year. I stand behind these products because they work best for me, they may or may not work for you. Since I am so passionate about makeup, skincare, nails, etc. I am willing to test a lot of products. Testing a new product can be frustrating, but it can also be very enlightening. I hope you enjoy this post. Please comment below!
