Beauty411 Favorite Beauty Products of 2009

Is it really the end of 2009?  To a beauty blogger, that just means "on to bigger and better" in terms of beauty products. After testing hundreds of products this year, I've done the work for you to find the best of the best. 

Looking back, it's been a great year in beauty.  Innovative products, creative packaging and exciting technology, particularly in skincare.  Expect those trends to continue in the upcoming year as brands try to edge each other out for the consumer's attention (and dollars!).

Here are some of my favorite beauty products of 2009:

Guerlain Holiday Colour Collection 2009 - Imperial Holiday

Guerlain Holiday Colour Collection, Imperial Holiday, is a limited-edition makeup collection worthy of royalty but designed to be enjoyed by every woman.  Guerlain's holiday makeup collection celebrates the opulence and splendor of the aristocracy.  Colours remind us of the nobility of precious stones and fabrics, while the packaging is always elegant.  As with every Guerlain Collection, the products are stunning. Every year, Guerlain is the holiday collection that sets the standard for beauty.

The Guerlain Imperial Holiday Makeup Collection includes:

Sublime Radiant Powder Face & Body: Silky and ultra light in texture, this sparkling powder graces the skin with a sheer veil of diamond-like reflections.  Like fine-spun muslin dappled with delicate sprays of glitter, it will subtly illuminate shoulders, arms, back, decollete and hair and leave a light violet scent. Sublime Radiant Powder Face & Body is one of the most exquisite cosmetics you'll ever own.  $85
