WIND IT UP : Best Of Makeup - 2008 on An Indian's Makeup Blog !

This has been a wonderful year for me thanks to my blog and you readers. I have made so many friends through it and I am very grateful for getting to know y'all . Its been so much fun emailing back and forth on what new lipstick / liner I discovered and learning about your finds ! But above all I am baffled at how many of you visit me everyday to see what I have to say . I cant thank you enough for it !

It has been so much fun to share my makeup thoughts and experiments with you and thanks to your encouragement I dint chicken out this year from anything...okay I did from spray tan and hair gels. A lot of products worked their magic on me and on many of you too !



However a few trends and products stood out. They were the highlights of 2008 for me makeup wise and I wanted to revisit it with y'all ...

1. The Red Lipsticks came calling way before the holidays ! I tried them all from $6 ones to $24 and am glad I did !


2. I learn't a thing or two about doing a Mean Smokey Eye and Classic Feminine Eye Looks.

3. Glitter Eyeliners ?? Who knew glitter would come back to haunt me after so many years and that I would actually like it !

4. My most favorite lip glosses cost less than $10 ! Now that saved me from becoming bankrupt.

5. I have a whole new level of love for color on my cheeks.

6. My search for eyeliners that "stay put all day long" has ended. No more time , only money goes into that area ...


7. I am no longer the crazy concealer girl who haunts Sephora / Nordstorm. I have found the right one for me .

8. Biore is still my favorite drugstore brand and Eyecream ?? Yes, I'm a regular...


9. Tinted Moisturizer is way better than foundation....must show a bit of skin.


10. Some skin care products are actually worth the dough you put into it. I am glad I discovered a couple of them like this one and this other one


What products made it to your list this year ? Did you try the red / dark lip trend with me ? Wonder what 2009 has in store ...See you then !!

Love,
Indian Girl
