Best of Beauty 2013

Happy New Year! Another year has gone by, and that means another (or my first!) beauty favourites post.
Here are my beauty favourites of 2013:

           1. Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee. I love this product as an everyday lip colour, it is creamy and quick to use. 

              2. Rimmel's Paradise and Airy Fairy; Mac Velvet Teddy; Revlon Siren. All of these lip sticks are called upon time and time again and they never fail me. The first three are the perfect neutrals, and Siren is my favourite special occasion lip stick. Thanks Jessica Alba for the suggestion!

                       3. Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss in Bordeaux; Clinique Lip Gloss in Glamour-Full. These lip glosses are both opaque and are not over powering when worn. I never wear red lip stick because it doesn't suit my lip shape, but Bordeaux is perfect for anyone who has smaller lips that are overpowered by red lip stick. It is shiny so it will make your lips appear fuller, and the creamy texture wears well all night long. 

                  4.  Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation, Mary Kay Highlighters Bronzing Beads. These 2 powders are perfect for summer. Mac Studio Fix is an amazing foundation, and even though I have dry skin, when you apply this foundation and set it with a setting spray, it creates a gorgeous natural finish, and doesn't dry out your skin. I apply it with a Real Techniques Multitask Brush for a medium coverage. The bronzing beads are the perfect highlighter when I have a tan, and they give the most delicate wash of colour along the cheekbone. Its a very golden goddess effect. 

                   5. Clinique Coloursurge Eye Shadow Quad in Choco-Latte, Tarte Amazonian Clay Eye Quad in In the Buff. These eye shadow quads are almost dupes for each other, and they both don't crease when not used with a primer. I'm a neutrals girl, and the shades are super versatile and work really well with my brown eyes. 

6. Mac Eye Shadows in Naked Lunch and Wedge, Yves Rocher Luminelle Blush in Rose-Gourmandise. Both the eye shadows and the blush are my makeup must haves, and staples in my makeup bag. If I don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup, I will just use these products and I am set to go. These are my favourite eye shadows by Mac, and I have been using this blush for over a year, and still not put a dent in it. 

7. Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara, Yves Rocher Pure Light Foundation, Maybelline Super Stay Concealer. Lumping together mascara and face products, all of these are re-purchases and are favourites every year. The foundation and concealer work beautifully with my dry skin, and this is my HG mascara, it is dark, lack, and volumizing, everything I want in a mascara.

Sorry the pictures are so dark, by the time I took them it was late, so all of the natural lighting was gone. Let me know what types of posts you want to see.
