~Hebridean Sprite 2011 Beauty Awards~
These are my favourite products from the year of 2011. These aren’t products that have necessarily been released this year, but instead are the ones I have used the most and have risen in my esteem or taken over the star spot for each category. Starred or asterisked items are ones that blow me away again and again or just really do their job well with no side effects. In comparison non-starred items are ones that are the best that I’ve tried that fits the category currently but I’m still on the look out for something better. Hope this makes sense!
If you are interested in any of the products further please type the item into the search bar at the top right hand side. Almost all of the items have reviews for them!
