Favourite Beauty Products of 2010 (Part 1)

Today I saw juicystar07's youtube video about her favourite products from the past year which gave me the idea to write about my own. I thought that this might be an extremely long post (similar to my "About Me" post) so I'm going to do it in several different sections with this one starting with the products I use for my face.

1) Facial Moisturizer
I'm a huge fan of Aveeno's products and I've tried almost all of their facial moisturizers. My favourite out of all of them would be the Positively Radiant daily moisturizer with SPF 15. I really like the texture of the actual cream and it does make my face feel smooth and it evens out my skin tone. Also, it's really important to use a moisturizer that has SPF in it because wearing sunscreen every day can make your skin look completely different by the time you're 30.
2) Concealer 
I've used Cargo's OneBase concealer ever since I started wearing makeup. I use it almost every day under my eyes, around my nose, and on any other blemish areas. It's really useful if I don't feel like putting on a full face of tinted moisturizer or foundation. This product stays on all day and blends perfectly with my skin.
3) Tinted Moisturizer 
The tinted moisturizer I used the most in the past year would have to be Smashbox's Sheer Focus. I know I've mentioned this product before but it was my favourite of 2010. I tend to have oily skin but this product helps reduce the shine and keeps my face looking smooth. I wear the "luminous" shade (the lightest one...) and I find it's lightweight but also provides just enough coverage.

4) Pressed Powder
I received Cargo's blu_ray Pressed Powder a gift a couple months ago and it's something that I've used almost every day since. It's a product that I put on after I've used concealer or tinted moisturizer/foundation. I find that it evens and blends everything together to make your skin look flawless.
5) Blush
I am obsessed with Nars blushes. My favourites are Deep Throat, Sex Appeal, and Angelika. I love how pigmented these products are and how the seem to look good on everyone! I use Deep Throat the most because I love the peachy colour on my skin tone. I'm sure many of you have tried these blushes but if not they are a must have to any makeup collection!
