Blog Tag: Jess' 2009 Favorites

OK, I'm up! Here are my 2009 obsessions:





BENEFIT SUGARBOMB
I'm translucent (i.e., redheaded), so finding the right shade for my skintone can be a tall order. This blush won me over right away though. It has four different shades—peach, plum, rose and shimmering pink—that blend together to make the perfect sun-kissed pink.




DUWOP TWIGHLIGHT LIP VENOM
Confession: I never finished New Moon. I know. But the orginal Lip Venom has been my go-to for years, so when this crimson stain hit the scene, I couldn't resist. It's ridiculously cool (the "vampire blood" becomes tiny bubbles when you shake it) and gives lips a"bee stung" look. P.S., it smells like cinnamon.




DIOR DIORSHOW EXTASE MASCARA
This twisted mascara wand was inspired by John Galliano's "tiered" dresses, and the jet-black formula is made with black pearl pigments that make my lashes look much, much fuller. I'm hooked. I left for JFK yesterday, realized I forgot it, and walked back up three whole flights to get it. Interventions welcome.



NARS ORGASM ILLUMINATOR
Best. Product. Ever. The "lit from within" look doesn't go out of style, so basically, this pinky-peach shimmer is on my list for life. I apply it to my cheeks and forehead after foundation, or sometimes even wear it alone, and my skin glows for hours upon hours. Yes, please.
