2012 was a great year for the beauty world.When deciding to do a post on what beauties I have loved this year, I found it really difficult to cut the list to three but I eventually got there.
 |
| Decadence Tan Eliminator has been my exfoliating saviour for the year. Everytime I use it, I am amazed at how well it works at buffing away any tan remnants and dead skin cells. |
 |
| Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish has been the cleanser I kept returning too in 2012. I find it is one of the few cleansers that doesn't dry out my skin and leaves my skin with a healthy glow. |
 |
| I first tried Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24hr in 2011, and no matter what other foundation I try, I always return to this. A little of this foundation goes a long way and I am only now running extremely low. I definitely need to repurchase this beauty asap. |
 |
| Collection Concealer in Fair - I had this used on me during a makeup
course earlier in the year and couldn't believe how good it made my
under eye area look. Up until this point I had shelled out a small
fortune in Brown Thomas trying out the best and most expensive
concealers, only to be disappointed. This one is under a tenner, doesn't
cake under the eyes and gives you the bright eyed bushy tailed look
every girl wants! A total steal! |
 |
| Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream - I've been literally obsessed with this BB
Cream since I tried it last December and despite the huge amount of
incredible products I've reviewed over the year, nothing comes close to
how good this is. Now there are pitfalls, it only comes in one shade and
you have to order it off EBay, but luckily for me I'm a certified EBay
addict and the shade matches perfectly! This is a dream for dry skin,
can be slapped on with your hands, makes your skin look a million times
better than it is and never looks cakey or overdone. Love it! |
 |
| Benefit Hervana Blusher - I was lucky enough to be gifted this at a
bloggers event during the summer and ever since I've turned to this
blush every day. If you're pale like me and want a natural flush of
colour this is your only man! It may be a little more expensive but
it'll easily last a year and you can use the different colours in the
palette on their own or swish them together for the perfect natural
glow! The best blusher I've ever tried and now I want all the other
Benefit ones! |
 |
| Estée Lauder Doublewear Foundation in Ecru - I have struggled for years to find a foundation that covered my redness,
didn't clump on my dry patches and that didn't leave my skin feeling
like it was burning after I took it off. I finally found it this year!
Estée Lauders Doublewear foundation is very much a full coverage
foundation and so isn't to everyone's liking. I wear this only for
occasions that I really do need full coverage for but it really is a
godsend. It lasts forever on your skin regardless of what you put it
through. It has an SPF of 10 which does result in some flashback with
photography but I can honestly say that is the only negative for me! |
 |
| The full of grace serum bar from Lush is one of my favourites for the
last number of years. I have very dry skin and suffer with redness and
while this doesn't get rid of it it certainly soothes my skin while
giving an intensive moisture boost. A little goes a long way with this
so while it seems expensive for the size of it I feel it really is worth
it! This little bar is so packed with oils however that it takes very
little to melt it so rather than lose (another) one to heat I now store
mine in one of the tubs from the fresh face masks and that way it can
melt and solidify as it wants! |
 |
| 2012 was the year that I adopted gel liner as part of my regular makeup
routine. This liner is amazing! It sits great on the waterline, is
incredibly black and I love how easy it is to use. It can dry out over
time but I've added a drop or two of Duraline (also by Inglot) and it
has been immediately restored! | | |
