Top 10 beauty posts of 2010

Being a nerd can be so fun sometimes. :)

In addition to being practically invincible at Scrabble and a main-stay of prominent Quizzo teams, there are also all sorts of fun ways to geek out online. For example, with this blog, Cosmo Skin Care's official website, my Examiner articles, and even my Facebook posts-- I can track which topics garner the most interest, and react accordingly. 

It's always interesting to note that the things I deem the most important in the skin care world are not necessarily the same topics that my audience finds the most interesting. With 2011 right around the corner, it seemed timely to review the top 10 most popular blog posts featured here. 

You might be surprised to see the most popular topics, but then again-- since you are my audience, maybe not? (I know I was.)
