Best of MAC 2008
MAC product (skin): Moisturelush - Really rich, I use it as a night cream when I hit those dry patches, its a godsend.
MAC product (cosmetic): Lollipop Lovin - Never have I used a lipstick so much! Pearlgliders - wonderful pay off and creamy. They don't drag your eyelid either. Solar White ES - OMG I wish I had a back up!
MAC Collection: N-Collection - lovely neutrals I could wear everyday for work.
MAC Newcomer product: Pearlgliders
MAC visual/promo: Dazzleglass

Makeup Icon of 2008: Dita Von Teese - Gorgeous classy woman

Worst of MAC 2008
MAC product (skin):
MAC product (cosmetic): Fafi Quads - Colour pay-off was rubbish and I didn't really think the colours complemented one another either
MAC Collection: Red She Said - Really didn't interest me like I thought it would. I only bought Quiet Please l/s
MAC Newcomer product: Mineralise Skin Finish Natural Duos - I just wasn't going to waste the money with that. Good idea if I hadn't just bought the MSFN about a couple of months earlier.
MAC visual/promo: I thought the promo pic for the Sonic Chic collection was a bit uninspiring. Didn't really like Suite Array either, why have a blurry photo that looks like its been taken with a camera phone as your promo? Defeats the object really...

Makeup nobody of 2008 (celeb): Amy Winehouse


Other brands (just to be inclusive)

Best:
Other brand cosmetic: Urban Decay
Other brand newcomer: Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation - Just the right paleness for me

I use it as a concealer too. Just a shame the blinkin' lid unscrews in my bag! I've lost about half of it in my bag which is quite gross...

I'd also like to mention her Shiteous return policy that will force you to jump through hoops and then set you back at least 6.95 in UPS shipping because you can't send it USPS for what would cost 1.80.
