Hi everyone!
Happy 2014!
I'm so excited to see what the New Year has in store. As for today's post, I'm going to share my favorite beauty products of 2013. There are 13 different products and many different categories and brands. I'm super excited, so let's begin!
Favorite Nail polish-
Being the nail polish junkie that I am, I can't pick just one polish, so I decided to broaden it to my favorite brand which is Essie. I tried Essie polishes for the first time this year and I fell in love with their great formulas and beautiful colors.
Favorite Foundation & Concealer-
In 2013 I discovered the Wake Me Up line from Rimmel. I tried both their foundation and concealer and I love them both. These were definitely my favorite foundation and concealers of 2013, as they have a great consistency and they never break me out. I'm not using the foundation at the moment because I've gotten considerably paler since summer, but the concealer still matches my skin fine.
Favorite Powder-
You can tell just by looking at this product that it's gotten a lot of love in 2013. I know you guys have heard me talk about this a billion times, but it's still my favorite powder. It lasts all day and keeps my skin shine-free. The best part is this powder lasts for so long, I purchased this in December of 2012, have used it almost every day since, and there's still plenty of product left. Amazing.
Favorite Mascara & Eyeliner-
I know you guys have also heard me talk about both these products before. My favorite mascara of 2013 was the classic Maybelline Great Lash. I like how it has a tiny wand, so it's also great for using on your lower lashes. My favorite eyeliner of 2013 was by far the Elf Liquid Liner. I tried this product out on a whim (it's only $1) and I fell in love with it! I use it every day and liquid liner is my one go-to product if I had to pick just one. Unfortunately, when I went to the store the other day, I didn't see this product anymore so I'm not sure if Elf is still selling it. In that case, leave me your liquid liner recommendations in the comments below!
Favorite Eye Shadow-
The Color Tattoos from Maybelline get talked about very often and there's a reason for it. They're incredible. My very favorite shade is "Bad to the Bronze" and I wore it so much in 2013. I can honestly tell you this is the best eye shadow I've ever tried. The color's beautiful, greatly pigmented and it doesn't even need a primer underneath. I got compliments on this eye shadow every time I wore it.
Favorite Blush-
Honestly, I have no idea when I got this blush. I randomly found it in my makeup collection one day and I'm SO happy I did because I love it! The color is super natural and pretty and it compliments my skin-tone perfectly. This blush is from Ulta and the shade is "Flush." I use this product almost every day and it gives a nice, rosy glow to my complexion.
Favorite Lip Products-
In 2013 I finally became a little more adventurous with lip products. First off, I love the Revlon Lipbutters. All their colors are gorgeous and the formula is super creamy. My favorite colors were "Sweet Tart," which is a vibrant hot pink and "Strawberry Shortcake," which is more natural. As far as moisturzing my lips, I'm all for Nivea products. I especially love the Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose Kiss. I know I told you all a while ago that I wasn't really a fan of it, but it's grown on me. I apply this every night before bed and it works wonders.
Favorite Self Tanner-
In 2013, I tried my first self tanner. I absolutely adore the Jergens Natural Glow self tanner. During summer I used it every other day and I could soon see great results. It's a gradual self tanner, so you don't turn out looking like an Oompa- Loompa. I also really like the face self tanner from Jergens. It smells nice and it doesn't break me out.
Favorite Hair Product-
I'm not sure if this exactly counts as a hair "product," but in 2013 I discovered the Wet Brush. Previously, my hair had been so difficult to brush through, especially when it was wet. After I started using this, my hair was always easy to brush through, even after the shower. This brush is very gentle and doesn't pull out much of your hair. It's not painful and this has definitely become my all time favorite brush.
Favorite Curling Iron-
Honestly, I didn't buy this curling iron in 2013, but I wanted to share this with you all because I'm not sure if I've talked about much before. This curling iron is from Remington and I found it at Target for $15! I've used it so much this year, including for school dances, plays and performances, and just on occasional school days. This iron is amazing. It's super easy to use and I don't burn my self with it very often at all. It creates gorgeous curls and all my friends like to borrow it from me.
So those were my favorite beauty products of 2013! I hope you all enjoyed this post. Would you like to see my favorite fashion items of 2013? If so, tell me in the comments below or tweet me.
