you can all take a massive sigh of relief because its finally here... BEST OF 2013!!
woohoo, I finally fixed my laptop enough to start writing this blog post, yaay!
lets get on with it!
My first favourite is 'Rimmel London match perfection foundation' in '200 soft beige' or '230 warm ivory' depending on how my skin looks that day,
I love this foundation, it's a medium coverage and it leaves the skin looking radiantly flawless.
I really think Rimmel do the best foundations and it is obvious why when you apply them. They glide on easily and don't slip off during the day!
My next favourite is my 'stay matte' powder also by 'Rimmel London' I promise I'm not sponsored by them I just genuinely love their products! This powder is beautiful on and doesn't make you look absolutely caked in make up. It really does mattify the face and you can reapply as many times as you need.
Another power I've been loving in 2013 is the 'kick ass retouch powder' by 'soap and glory' whilst I don't love it as much as my 'stay matte' I still chop and change between the two. I believe this looks slightly cakeier on however I still like it and it definitely keeps your makeup in place most of the day.
As for concealers, I've been loving 'collections lasting perfection concealer' this is truely the best concealer I've ever used at such an inexpensive price! It's blendable and lovely I have it in the lightest shade for underneath my eyes but I also buy a darker one to cover redness and blemishes! The only fault I've found is the packaging it rubs away easily but the product itself is amazing.
Another concealer I loved last year is my 'benefit erase paste' this is really great for covering those under eye circles however sometimes there is a little bit of an issue with creasing! More about it here!
Now moving more onto skincare I have to say I've absolutely LOVED my 'garnier skin naturals pure active intensive spot purifying toner' this has cleared my face up a treat! More about it here!
Another skincare favourite of mine has been my 'Estée lauder daywear moisturiser' woah there... You'll be utterly stunned by this... It's like a little hug for you face.
It had lots of good anti-oxidents in it, I'm not quite sure which ones but I'm pretty sure cucumber and aloe vera are in there somewhere because thats what it smells like but don't quote me on that one... (clearly this girl knows her stuff ;)... )
This makes the face appear less puffy and is totally moisturising and you just need one in your life.
For bronzers last year I'm going to go for 'Lancome's Mineral smoothing bronzing powder true lively glow- exquisite wear spf 10' I don't use bronzer often but when I do it's this one and only this one, it gives a really natural glow and doesn't look muddy at all - I LOVE IT!! (icona pop style)...
For Blushes this year I'm going to say 'benefits rockatuer' love this its such a beautiful blush, i go into more detail about it here!
For lipstick last year I've was and still am loving 'mac' in general but my most worn colour is 'morange' I wore this colour everyday of the summer I love it this is an amplified finish so it's very creamy and pigmented it also stays on forever, literally ages! More here!
Another lipstick I've been loving in the year of 2013 is 'Estée Lauders pure colour creme lipstick' in ' crystal coral' this is like a really sheer lipstick almost like a tinted lip balm I've been wearing it too school its really natural and lovely on!!
For mascaras last year I loved 4 different ones that are all very similar;
Essence get big lash: this is brilliant for thickening eyelashes unfortunately it isn't available where I live. I got this in Ireland but you can also get it in the US and it's so cheap! Brilliant value for money!!!
Estēe Lauder: This is amazing it gives length and thickness however quite pricey but if you can get over that it's totally worth it!
Elizabeth Arden ceramide lash extending mascara: this is great for lengthening however the thickness isn't really there and again quite pricey but worth it!
Lancôme hypnose star: woah buddy! Hold your horses, this stuff is beautiful! Length, thickness and winged out look! It's bloody brilliant!!
Avon super shock: this is good for length but again thickness isn't quite there very similar to the Elizabeth Arden one however not as long lasting and a lot cheaper!
As for makeup brushes I love / loved anything real techniques! Do I even need to say why? Soft beautiful and easy to use!
For eye shadow I pretty much all year wore my naked 1 pallet until the end of the year when I used my mac pallet which I wrote about in my previous blog post! I love the naked 1, colours are beautiful! If you'd like a more thorough review like I did for my mac pallet let me know.
I don't wear much nail varnish but last year I fell in love with the L.A colours nail varnish, I don't have a favourite but the one in the picture is sea siren!
Finally!!!!!! I finished! It's done! I hope this is everything you hoped for, I know the wait was long but I've just been so busy!
Bye loves
