Beauty Favorites of 2012

Beauty Favorites of 2012! 

I thought I would share my favorites from the past year!

1. Face product
My favorite face product has to be my Revlon Colorstay whipped cream foundation. I think I have honestly bought 3 bottle of this just in the past couple of months since it has been out.

2. Cheek product
Cheek product has to be the Hot Mama blush by The Balm. I love this one. I think my mom really likes it too. She got a mini sample of it in her last Birchbox.

These are the limited edition colors that I got earlier this year.

3. Eye product
Out of the eye products that I bought this year I think the Maybelline Color Tattoo's are great!!!! I actually just got two more today. (The Metal line: Barely Branded and Inked in Pink) I already have Barely beige and Gold Shimmer.

4. Lip Product
Hmmmmmm...... My favorite lip product is oddly enough a chap stick that I got in the month of December. It is the Chap Stick Limited Edition Candy Cane. I literally have like 5 of these. I had to buy three more to stash away in case it is never released again. Seriously, I have a thing for minty chap sticks and I adore the original Burt's Bee's but this stuff BLOWS that out of the water for like half the price. And it really does taste like a candy cane. So if your at Walmart checking out and see the little display that is hung by the register I definitely suggest trying this out.

5. Skincare Product
This was the year of Lush discovery. I am in LOVE with the Ocean Salt scrub. I know it is probably not meant to be used every day or even every other day because it is a pretty heavy duty scrub but, my skin loves this stuff. I ran out and finally got more this week. And the really nice guy from Perimeter Mall convinced me to get the large container of it. I never want to run out again. Other than my favorite cleanser Purity by Philosophy (which I have used for years or it would be included) it is an all time favorite.

6. Nail Polish
Camera by Essie is my favorite for 2012. I searched EVERYWHERE for this polish. It was apart of the "lights, camera, action" set. I was so sad when I could not find it. Months later, I was in ulta and looked at a bottom shelf and there were like 20 of them just chilling out on the shelf. I kind of jumped up and down a little.

7. Hair product
 My favorite hair product is the Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt spray. My hair is pretty straight. I have to really try to get it to do anything. I love braiding my hair and then spraying this on my wavy hair to give it some texture.

8. Body product/Perfume
My favorite body product is my Coco Mademoiselle Body Lotion. I actually think that the scent stays around longer than it would with the perfume. I love the way it smells. I would like the perfume though. The bottle is really classic and I just love the way it smells so you can never have enough. 

If you have any great products you discovered in 2012 I would love to have some new products to try in 2013! Also if any of these are your favorites too please let me know!!!
