What are your favorite MAC products of 2010?

[liba]

Well, this has certainly been a momentous year for MAC and MAC fans. So many new products and formulas, so many unexpected colors, so much frenzy and hysteria!

We still have a little ways to go before the year's over, but it's not to early to start reminiscing over our favorite items from 2010.

For me it sort of breaks down to Most Beautiful vs. Most Used, with the overlapping ones being the all-around best. There were also the surprise favorites I never thought I'd use so much or love so much, but I did.

For me:

Surprise Favorites: Bi-Tone MB, Below Ground GPS, In the Buff n/p, Almost Noir PG, Truth & Light powder

Most Used: Bi-Tone MB, Dirty GPS, Rhapsody in Two MB, Fresh Salmon l/s, Marine Life, Soften the Mood MES trio

Most Beautiful: Undercurrent PG, Bold & Brash DTW l/g, Go For It l/s, BOA blush, Temperature Rising l/l, She Who Dares MES

All Around Winners: Gimme That! DTW l/g, Industrial PG, Nocturnal Superslick e/l, Flurry of Fun l/g, Bloodline pg

#1 Top Winner - for most use, most innovation, most beauty and most insanity goes to Marine Life, you glorious bitch!

Also just for fun, my top 5 lipstick shades (because lipstick is Serious Business):

• Toxic Tale, Cunning, Liquid Lurex, Go For It, Jazzed

Ooh this is a fun one!

Surprise Favorites: Wicked Ways l/g, If It Sparkles p/m, So Rich So Pretty n/l, Bubblegum l/s, Rock Out! l/g.

Most Used: Later p/m, Go For It l/s, Marked for Glamous e/l, Azalea Blossom b/o.

Most Beautiful: Azalea Blossom b/o, Stacked 1! pigments, Oh So Fair b/p, Greengrease GPS, She Who Dares MES, Bite of an Apple p/b.

All Around Winners: Later p/m, Go For It l/s, Ban This! DTW l/g.

I can't pick one winner- too hard!

Top 5 Lipstick Shades: Dark Deed, Viva Glam Cyndi, Viva Glam Gaga, Bubblegum, Go For It.

Lots of repeats, but I swap anything I don't like, so these are all the true winners.

Also, this doesn't really fit, but I thought I would do my five disappointing products, aka biggest letdowns.

Top 5 Letdowns:
5. Bubbles l/s (I need to play with this one more)
4. Rose Maiden l/s
3. Shock-a-holic e/s
2. Riveting l/s
1. I Want Candy DGC

Great idea, liba!

ooo, I like the letdowns idea (even if I DO try so hard to be chipper, peppy and positive )

My letdowns - all stuff I actually bought:
Blooming Lovely l/s - I try and try but almost always feel like a clown with it.
Greengrease GPS - I wanted it to be deep but less blackened. It's pretty but the missed potential was huge for me and made me sad.
VG Gaga l/s - Same situation as Blooming Lovely, if not as extreme. Remind me to avoid colors with lots of chalky white tint to them.
Thrills l/s - It looked great in the store, but never again, somehow.
TTB Bronze Body Oil - Was almost invisible on NC15??? Plus it made me break out.

The good part is I had to think pretty hard to come up with an even five - almost everything I bought this year was a win!

it literally did not bronze. we were told that at update, that it would just add shimmer. so don't fret that it didn't show up on you, cuz it had no colour on anyone, which is sad for something called a bronzing oil.

i was impressed with all the face/cheek colours this year-RP, AB, ML, IC, P&P, TPC...

and for the eyes? i can't forget the GPSs and PGs!!!

Wow I used to be able to identify all of these MAC names whenever someone would start the annual favorites thread.. and now I can't figure out any of them! I've been off MAC for a while because I reached a point where nothing excites me anymore and I felt like I had enough makeup to last me a lifetime

But I'm back now! =D and I have some favorites from ITG and FF..

- All Styled Up l/s (love it! wearing it right now)
- Happy Together MB
