Last but not least, we want to give a special shout-out to a few other products that particularly impressed us at ChickAdvisor HQ.  Here are our individual Editor's Choice Awards picks for 2012:


Alexandra's Pick: Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge
This is an incredibly long-lasting and pigmented lip colour. The liquid lipstick end is very matte but there is a clear gloss end for more impact. I love that this is an all purpose lip colour, for work or a night out when I don't want to worry about reapplying.
 
Claire's Pick: Vichy ProEVEN Mineral BB Cream
I had been very loyal to my tinted moisturizer but lately found it wasn't up to the task.  I just discovered this BB Cream and I'm thrilled with the natural-looking coverage and balanced matte finish despite my combination skin.
 

Mandy's Pick: Samsung Galaxy Note 2
This phone is everything I need on the go and more: a 5.5-inch screen large enough to browse and watch videos, a quad-core processor that allows me to multitask, and really amazing battery life. Although the phone is significantly larger than traditional smart phones, It's still light and thin enough to conveniently carry it around.

Ali's Pick: Nest Learning Thermostat
This thermostat quickly learns your heating/cooling patterns and is able to automatically adjust to your preferences.  My favourite feature is the smartphone app which lets you remotely adjust the temperature if you're away.
