Beauty favourites of 2013 <3

Hey girls,

Happy new year! :D I am so glad to finally be back blogging again after so long! My obsession for makeup has grown rapidly in the past year and so has my makeup collection so I have some beauty favourites that I have constanly been using in 2013 to show you guys! There's not an awful lot as I am constantly trying out new makeup products and never stick to the same routine but these are the ones I have used most throughout the year. So let's get started ;)..,

When I first got into makeup about two years ago this was one of my very first M.A.C obsessions and it has stuck with me ever since! I remember stealing this out of my moms collection and falling in love with it ;) There is never a day that I do my makeup without using this product! It is so amazing and makes your makeup simply flawless. I have recommended this to so many people and they all have gone out and bought it and loved it! This is definatly a staple item for me <3

This has been my favourite foundation over the past year. I only ever wear this when I'm going out and I get so many compliments on it! This foundation looks so flawless on the skin and is very long lasting. It is a completely matte foundation so it comes out great in photographs. It never looks caked on the skin which is one thing I adore about this foundation.

The naked 2 palette was probably the best €40 I spent in the past year. I always find use for the shadows in this palette whether it's for a smokey eye look, as an eyeliner or to fill in eyebrows! This is so handy to have in my kit when I am doing someone's makeup. Neutral colours are in trend at the moment and nearly all the colours in this palette are neutral! I am actually considering picking up a few of the other naked palettes at the moment!

This is the rimmel Kate moss lipstick in the shade '03'. This is one of the prettiest nude lipsticks in my kit. It is the perfect pinkey-nude colour! I love using this on people when I do there makeup.

This is the KIKO bloom blush. I got the bronzey shade of this. Unfortunately, KIKO products can only be bought in foreign countries or online. This product is great for contouring along with a creamey concealer two shades lighter than your skintone!

I am a big fan of rimmel blushes but this is by far my favourite one. This blush is in the shade 'Santa rose'. It is the most gorgous colour and It's perfect for everyday or night-time wear! 

My favourite mascara this year has been the rocket mascara by Maybelline. This is a great mascara and has become an essential in my kit. They have waterproof versions of this mascara if they are more suited to you but I personally hate waterproof mascaras so I went for the non-waterproof. 

My last beauty favourite for 2013 has been the dermablend ultra corrective foundation cream stick. I cannot live without this concealer. If my house went on fire tonight this would probably be the one makeup item I'd be sure to grab :p it is a full coverage concealer and just amazing to use on blemishes or imperfections that are hard to cover with a regular concealer. I just recently bought one of these for my sister to try out seeing as I love mine so much. I don't think ill ever be able to go back to a regular concealer after discovering this one!

That is it guys..All my beauty favourite for 2013! I can't believe it is 2014 already! I hope you all found this blog post helpful and I will talk to you all in my next one :)

Stay positive, Stay healthy, Stay fashionable!
