Top 5 of 2013 - Skincare

Hi lovelies! Hope you're all having a lovely week! Today, I'll be looking back at what saved my skin in 2013. Throughout 2013, I've been having trouble with dry skin and a bit of acne. So let's see what has helped me!

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution - I don't I have to talk much about this one, because every bloggers raves about it! It's a makeup remover that removes ALL of your makeup, and cleanse so your left with a fresh face and no makeup at all.

Origins Drink Up 10 minute mask to quench skin's thirst - When I went to the Sephora to purchase this, I was looking for the overnight mask, but it wasn't available. The lady suggested me this one: 10 minute mask to quench skin's thirst. It works wonder! Anytime you have dry skin, this will help. Put it on, wait for 10 minutes or more (I always put it on for more than 10 minutes or use it overnight as well), then rinse it off. This smells like apricot, which is wonderful smell. The tube might seem small but it will last forever.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum - 2013 has been the year that I have been trying out more skincare. The Body Shop is one brand that I recently truly discovered (thanks for blogs), and been loving. The Body Shop isn't that expensive and has great stuff. This serum is described as a pre-moisturiser. It's a great product for people with dry skin that get rids of dry patches. Plus, it sinks in quickly and isn't greasy.

Freeman Refining Facial Cleanser - This leaves my skin looking fresh, feeling super soft while fighting off acne. The smell of this is amazing - smells like pears. This is hands down one of the best cleanser. It will improve your skin texture and balance your skin. It is a very gentle cleanser as well. Hopefully it's not discontinued cause I rarely see it.

N7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Balm - This a great cleansing balm that leaves face super soft. This balm has a light and lovely scent to it. Leaves dry skin feeling smooth. It removes all make-up as well.

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. :)
