Top 5 of 2013 - Makeup

Hi beauties! Today I'm doing the first part of my series: Top 5 of 2013. The makeup part. It was really hard to choose only 5 products! But I think those I've been used/loved alot during 2013. I plan on doing a Top 5 on: Skincare, Haircare, Favorite Albums (?), Nailpolish, Perfumes. Not too sure if I'll do all of them but let me know if you're interested.

Urban Decay Naked Palette // Of course I have to have my super loved Naked palette (so loved that I hit pan on 4 eyeshadows!!). I don't really need to explain it as I'm sure everyone is pretty familiar with this palette. But I can say that it's really my go to palette, super easy to use when you're in a rush! My favorite shadow would have to be Sin, which I use everyday.

Maybelline Color Whisper in Lust for Blush // Color Whispers are one of my favorite lip product. They are pure color pigment suspended in a weightless gel. (described by Maybelline). They are similar to Revlon lip butters (another favorite) but they aren't as heavy. This color is a pretty medium pink nude, which is like a ''my lips but better" lipstick.

Benefit High Beam Highlighter // You can put this on the top of your cheekbones, under your eyebrows, down the bridge of your nose or anywhere you'd like to put accent on your face. It's perfect to add a healthy, dewy glow. Very easy to use as well: just put a dot and then blend it in your skin.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the bronze // Color tattoos are great eye product. It's a cream eyeshadow that last all day and doesn't crease. It's a gorgeous light bronze. Can be used as a base for eyeshadows or alone. It looks great on its own, but for a quick, simple look - just add Smog or Darkhorse from the Naked palette. 

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion // This is a staple in my collection. My eyeshadow last all day with this and does not crease at all. If your looking for an eyeshadow primer, I recommend this one!

Here are some swatches:

I think I could've had more than 20 products, but this post would have been way too long. Hope you all had an amazing 2013 and that 2014 is even better!

What is your favorite beauty product from 2013?

Also, please let me know if you'd be interested in seeing other Top 5 posts. :)

2012 favorites

Hi beauties

So, another year has gone by! Time seems to fly by! I've been watching beauty/fashion videos on youtube for ages. And I've been a fan of fashion/makeup for a long time also. But I feel like my passion has truly begin in the past years. I knew about the beauty community on youtube for a long time, but I just discovered the beauty/fashion community in the month of November, and I'm so excited to take the ride! :)

I will be doing my best products of 2012, this will be so hard; considering I've discovered so many products I love. But here it goes!

Eye products:

Urban Decay Naked Palette: You've probably all seen it. Amazing color selection, amazing palette. Amazing amazing amazing. Need to say more?

Maybelline Color Tattoo: Stays on all day, never creases. I love them all, but Bad to the bronze and Barely Beige are the one I use the most because I love neutral colors and those are perfect for everyday use.

MAC eyeshadow in Woodwinked: I love this eyeshadow; such a gorgeous color. It is my first MAC purchase, I don't have a store that sell mac close to me, so I'm thinking about ordering online!

Lancome Hypnose Mascara: I really fell in love with Lancome mascaras this year. This is one of my most used one and I plan on trying out some more of that brand.

Maybelline Line Stiletto in Blackest Black: Love this liquid liner. Thanks to this mascara I can now apply eyeliner with no difficulties.

Wet N' Wild Idoleyes in Pixie: This is a cream eyeshadow. It's literally perfect. Perfect color. Put it in your inner corner and it'll brighten your eyes like nothing else would.

Urban Decay Primer Potion: If you want your eyeshadow to last all day, this is the solution. I'm actually out of it and need to pick one as soon as possible.

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit: I can't tell you guys how much I love this product. Some people think eyebrows aren't a 'daily' thing but, trust me, when you'll try this you'll be hooked.

Covergirl eyeshadow trio in Shimmering Sands: Such beautiful colors for an everyday use.

Face products:

Rimmel Lasting Finish in Pink Sorbet: A really nice everyday color, it gives such a natural glow to my face. I plan on buying more blush from Rimmel this year. Love it!

NYX Concealer in a jar: As the name says it, it's a concealer in jar and it's my first time using one. It does a great job at concealing your imperfection.

Benefit High Beam: I haven't tried many highlighters to say it's the best of the best, but I know enough to say it's a wonderful product.

Lip products:

Maybelline Baby Lips: I have all the original collection and I love them all. So amazing, moisturizing and give a nice touch of color!

Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain: I have 2 of those and I love them so much! I plan on buying some more.

Revlon Lip Butter: I have so many of these and I just can't get enough of them. It's between a gloss and a lipstick, so, if you're not used to wearing lipstick, I believe that this is the perfect thing for you!

MAC Lipstick in Angel: This made me fall in love with MAC lipstick. Perfect color. I really need to try more MAC products this year.

Hope you enjoyed! It was really hard trying to pick my favorites cause as I said I have so many favorites and I didn't want to make this too long. Can't wait to see what 2013 will bring, including beauty products! ;)
