The Best of the Best in Makeup in 2012!

Hi Beauties! I got this idea from a blog post on Tumblr from Makeuptips.tumblr.com plus from two beauty Guru's on YouTube: KissndMAKEUP (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Series) & BeautyBroadCast (Emily Awards Series).

Welcome to the 1st annual of the cosmetics battle. I will share with you some of the best of the best cosmetics that’s out, from drugstore to high end. There are 23 categories and I will break it down into 3 Groups: Eyes, Face and Lips.
