BEST|
Benefit Erase Paste - It's not the best concealer I've tried, but it does brighten my eyes and I can wear this with just translucent powder and it'll match my skintone.
Benefit Where There's Smoke eyeshadow - Just my favourite dark grey eyeshadow.
MAC Satin Taupe - I didn't understand the hype before but I do now, hah. I really like this shade!

WORST|
bh cosmetics palettes - Dude, they're crappy quality, imo. I bought one to use as a backup for tutorials when I don't have a certain colour. I just haven't used it very much since I received it. I don't like it, aaah.

Worst has to be the Bobbi Brown Mini Brights Palette. $70 for eyeshadows barely bigger than my index fingernail. I can't even fit a brush into the pans! Best was Make Up For Ever's HD Foundation.

Best: Naked 2 palette

Worst: Eyeko Big Eyes Mascara--too heavy on my lashes and weighed them down... I need all the help I can when it comes to my lashes and this mascara did more bad than good

My best purchase would be Inglot eyeshadows. And worse purchase I would say was the BH palette that you pick your own colors. Color payoff is nothing compared to inglot.

Best purchases for me in 2011 was UD Eye Primer in Original and Sin, Bobbi Brown's Mineral Foundation in Honey. The worst purchase had to be Victoria's Secret kohl pencil in black. It was hard and no amount of rolling it between my fingers helped soften it up.
