2009 is almost gone! No, this is not my “year in review” post. This is my list of the “best of 2009″, as far as eats, treats, and of course, hair and beauty products. Let’s get to it:  **Update 1/1/10**: I added “Best Product Line”. I forgot it!

Best of Hair Products:

• Best Overall Product Line
  Afroveda
  Just amazing! The Shea Amla Whipped Butter Cream and the Pur Whipped Jelly are my new staples. The butter cream beat out my beloved Qhemet Biologics Amla and Olive Heavy Cream, so you KNOW it’s great!

• Peace Love and Sunshine Coconut Confidence
  A blend of virgin organic coconut oil, and unrefined shea butter. Dreamy, and creamy.  It’s dessert for the hair…and body.
• Sweet Nature by Eddie Love Deep Conditioner
  I do it. It’s a very simple, uncomplicated concoction that works to soften and condition the kinks. It absorbs into the hair, and leaves no buildup.
• Healing Herbs by Rene Herbal Black Soap Shampoo, and Extra Moisturizing Conditioner
  The shampoo cleans without stripping and the conditioner smells like a taste of heaven on earth…conditions well too.  100% natural and organic.

Best of Beauty Products:

• Lip Slip by Sara Happ
  I lip balms, but so many are… so-so. Not this one. It’s thick and rich, and it “coats” the lips with a moisturizing shield that protects against the elements.
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish
  A lightweight powder that perfects the skin. Think “healthy glow”, with a matte finish.  It’s replaced my pressed powder.
• Mure de Musc Extreme by L’Artisan Perfumeur
  Sweet blackberry…but not overwhelming, and not too “fruity”. It makes me dizzy…in a very good way. Divine.

Best Eats and Treats:

Nothing to share this year. There were a couple of things I wanted to try, the Amella Artisan Cocoa Butter Caramels for instance, but I didn’t quite get around to it.  I plan having a few favorites in this category, next year.

Advanced Firming Activator transforms skin to appear firm, toned, and absolutely glowing, while preventing further damage. Formulated with Alpha Lipoic acid and DMAE that work synergistically to visibly resurface skin’s texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reveal a radiant and healthy complexion. Paraben-free.

It’s available for one lucky winner! Just leave a comment and tell me why you’d like to try it. The giveaway is open to US  residents only! Post your reply by October 18th, 2009! The winner will be announced here, and contacted via email!

  It’s like Christmas in October!
