MWS Christmas Gift Guide and Best of 2009

When I thought to start a Christmas Gift Guide, I decided to not go the way of the limited edition goodies that companies come up with towards the end of the year. Some coffret sets may be of excellent value but I’ve learnt that coffret sets aren’t always full of gems. In fact, I’ve had many coffret sets that contained 1 gem and 5 duds. I prefer to stick to gems not plaster 🙂 [Edit: No offense to anyone might find coffret sets they like and some ARE stuffed with gems – and look pretty to boot! I’m just fussy 😛 ]

So I prefer to create my own gift sets and I wanted to feature something that I might like to receive for Christmas and it may not come in a coffret set or be part of the limited edition Christmas collection.

So, we will have our own gift guide for Christmas – based on gift category and based on my star picks of 2009! I guess you could call this my “Best of 2009 makeup and skincare series” 🙂

You can easily pick up some of the items mentioned in coffret sets and maybe get a good price for them but I will hope to remind you of  some other star products I have encountered over the year. You are welcome to add your choices in the comments as we go along.

Christmas is always a good time to get something nice for yourself or a friend 🙂 The list which is limited only to makeup and skincare will be updated below.

Note: I have only included products I have sampled in 2009 which may include new and “old” or existing products. Its a best of the products I tried in 2009 not the best of new releases in 2009.
