Top 12 Products of 2012 - Part 1

Hey All  -

Since 2012 recently came to an end, I thought I would talk about my top 12 products I loved from 2012. This ended up being quite hard to narrow down but I did it. Most of the items I discovered in 2012 but there are a few that have been favorites for a while!

1. Stila In the Light eye shadow palette. I got this in April at IMATS in NY. After thinking about all of my eyeshadows I have this one stood out to me the most. I have been using this like made since I got it. The palette comes with 10 different eyeshadows and an eyeliner in Damsel. My favorite color from the palette is Kitten. I love putting Kitten all over the lid and mix Sandstone & Gilded Gold in the crease.  The eyeliner is great it's a really dark brown color that doesn't budge. You can find this at Ulta or Sephora and retails for $39.00.

**You can barely see Bare because it blends so well with my skin . 

2. Hard Candy Baked Bronzer in Tiki. This is clearly not a bronzer in anyway, it's a highlighter. It gives the nicest glow to the top of your cheekbones or wherever you like to highlight your face. I've been using it non stop since I got it months ago.  Hard Candy products can be found at Walmart and this retails for $9.00

3. Loreal Infallible 24 Hour Eyeshadows. I only have 1 shown in the picture above but the whole line of these things are amazing. I'm going to do a separate blog post on all of the colors I own with swatches and looks, so keep your eyes out for that. But my favorite color and the one pictured above is in bronzed taupe. These last a very long time on the lid, I obviously have not worn makeup for 24 hours so I have not tested their claim but they do last a long time. They do not crease but I still usually wear an eyeshadow primer underneath like I do with every eye look I do. These retail for about $7 at drugstores but prices vary.

4. Wet & Wild Brulee single eyeshadow. This is my holy grail highlight color for my brow bone. I use this pretty much everyday. It's a great matte cream color that goes with every eye look. It's great for making sure your crease color is all blended out. And for about $1.00 you can't beat it!!

5. NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Sugar Pie. I really love all of the glosses I have from NYX in this line. I have multiple colors but Sugar Pie is the best nude lip gloss that I can put over any color lipstick to make it look shiny. I think these glosses smell and taste good, but I have heard others that don't like them. I think it's just a personal preference. These also last a long time on the lips and are not sticky. These can be found at Ulta or several different online stores. They retail for about $5.50 each.

6. Eve Pearl Dual Salmon Concealer & Treatment. I got this at NY IMATS back in April and love it! I've always heard good thing about this and wanted to try it. It's great for covering my dark under eye circles.I mix the two colors together and dab it under my eyes. I don't use it everyday but I do use quite often when my dark circles look really bad. I think it's a great under eye concealer.  You don't need to use a lot of product so I have a feeling I'll have this for a while still. I have it in Fair/Light. It is quite pricey but I think it works great.  It retails for $39 and can be found here.

Here are the first 6, the other 6 will be coming shortly! Let me know if you have any questions!! 

Thank you so much for reading!!
