Huh. I was so convinced that I would not need a break… and then I proceeded to go fourth with a rather threadbare posting schedule. Well, I guess you never really know where life’s about to take you! (Hint: the answer is “for such an exciting and unpredictable spin!” of course).

But I digress. Here’s a year of your favourite posts and categories (my faves will be going up tomorrow). Enjoy, my lovelies! And please ignore the empty comment boxes – we never did manage to get those to transfer over in the end.  xoxo

Your top ten…

1. The “Holy Grail” category. Which makes sense, because this  means that your favourite page to view is the one with all my favourites! {visit this category}

2. Our preview of The Body Shop “Smoke and Fire” collection. Another one of my favourites; the kajals were a pass if you ask me but the blusher is stunning. {visit this post}

3. Ironically, the third most-visited page on theNotice is the MAC label. Why is this ironic? Well, because less than 10% of you ladies have listed it as one of your favourite brands to read about in our current survey! {visit this category} {visit the survey}

4. In fourth place is a comparison between two great highlighters, MAC Pearl and Hush. I’m wearing Pearl right this moment, as a matter of fact! Hush has been my recent obsession on others, though — it looks amazing on NC30ish and darker. {visit this post}

5. Your favourite EOTD? Violet glitter and B-Ray. Good choice! {visit this post}

6. Our review of Revlon Mauvy Night turned it into one of your faves, too. Shopper’s happened to have a Revlon SL sale not a week later, and the number of amazing bloggers that let me know they went to pick up a tube (and loved it) made my entire month. {visit this post}

7. Your favourite series was the three-part Adventures in Epilating overview, with the Emjoi Emagine, so feel free to check out any of the following… {visit the product review} {visit the tips & tricks post} {visit the video}

8. The (very) recent review that we put up of Benefit’s Creaseless Creams caught your eye, too. Another prime example of the fact that everyone’s lids are different! {visit this post}

9. Anatomicals’ No Old Bags eye gel turned out to be the most viewed skincare item on theNotice this year. And, yes, I’m still loving it. {visit this post}

10. Finally, a result that didn’t surprise me – your favourite product category! I’m a cheek gal, myself, but it’s the lip products that really get you talking. {visit this category}
