♡ Best of Beauty 2013 ♡

Hey Guys~!

✧･ﾟ:*Happy New Year*:･ﾟ✧

I can't believe 2014 is already here~! 
For some of you it may already be a new year, but not for me (⁎❛ᴗ❛⁎)

So to kick off 2014 I thought I'd remember 2013 by sharing my favorite products of 2013~~! I'll be covering makeup, skin care, hair products and nail polish in this post. If you want me to do a non-beauty best of 2013 which would probably be anime, movies, music, video games, etc, leave a comment telling me. 

So let's remember my favorites of 2013~~!

Makeup

Skin79 Super+ B.B. Cream: I love this B.B. Cream to death~! It was my first Asian B.B. Cream and I just can't say enough good things about it. It feels light on my skin and matches perfectly with my skin tone. 

Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless Concealer: This is my favorite concealer ever. It works great on my dark circles and on spots. Sadly it is discontinued and I will miss it oh so very much (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder: This has been my favorite powder all year. It's so great cause it keeps me matte and it isn't super expensive.

Benefit Dandelion Boxed Powder: I don't think I've talked about this at all on my blog and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong. It's a natural pink blush that adds a nice flush to my cheeks without being too bold. 

Urban Decay Naked Palette: I know this didn't come out in 2013, but I got it last year. It's one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes cause of the variety of colors and their great pigmentation.

Stila In the Know Palette: Another great eyeshadow palette that I just love. It's all matte neutrals and it can create so many different looks. 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in Nude: I've talked about this in so many of my favorites posts. It's just a peach eyeliner and using this on the waterline brightens and widens my eyes. Also it looks more natural than white on the waterline. 

Maybelline The Rockey Mascara: I like really long and thick looking lashes and this mascara gives me that. I use it all the time for cosplay makeup cause it makes me look like I'm wearing false lashes. 

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit: This is the only brow product I've ever purchased and I really like it. The powders work well with my hair color and are also great for cosplay makeup when I need to give myself blonde eyebrows. 

Maybelline Baby Lips: How could you guys not see this coming? I'm obsessed with these tinted lip balms cause there's a variety of shades and all of them are moisturizing.

Skin Care

Neutrogena Rapid Clear Foaming Scrub: This is the best face wash if you have acne prone skin like me. It clears up my skin and it doesn't irritate my skin. 

Freeman Face Masks: I'm not going to put a picture of all the Freeman masks I own, so I'll just put in the Anti Stress one. All of the Freeman masks work great and none of them have caused any irritation or anything like that. Each mask has a different purpose, so you'll be able to find one that works for you.

LUSH Tea Tree Water: I haven't talked about this, but I do want to review it soon. Tea Tree Water is really good for oily/acne prone skin so that's why I got it. It feels light and works well and reversing any irritation and gets rid of excess dirt and oil on my skin. 

Clean and Clear Hydrating Gel Moisturizer: I've used this every single day since I first bought it in July. It works great as a base for my makeup and I just love the light feeling gel texture it has.

Hair Care

 

Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves: This is my favorite styling product ever. I put it in when my hair is damp and after scrunching it, it creates bouncy curls without using a curling iron.

L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm: I've been meaning to include this in a post, but I just haven't yet. This is a hair mask that works wonders for my hair. It hydrates my hair, repairs split ends, and keeps my hair looking health and smooth. I use it once a week and I'm really happy with the results it gives me.

Nail Polish

Timeless Rubies by Covergirl: This was my go to fall nail polish. I love all the flecks of gold, pink, and deep red mixed in this color. It just reminds me of fall leaves whenever I look at it. 

Pacific Blue by Sally Hansen: I'd heard a lot about this nail polish before buying it. It just looked so pretty that I had to get it. I got a lot of wear out of this polish, I wore it a ton in the spring and summer. It's a gorgeous purpley blue and it just pops on your nails.

On a Trip by Wet and Wild: Thank you to my friend who introduced me to this color. If I never got it, my life wouldn't be complete ♡♡♡ It's a beautiful purple color and it's also been a go to color for me.

So those were my favorites beauty products of 2013~~! Leave me a comment telling me some of your favorites products, I'd love to check them out. See you guys at my next post.
