BEST OF 2013-LIPSSSS


BEST OF 2013- LIPS!


Welcome back!!! If you know me at all, you know that I am a huge lip person; therefore the selected few lip products below really must have been something!!!! Hope you enjoy and leave a comment below with questions and requests!! I love hearing from everyone!!!



1. Jordana Easyliner Retractable Lip Liner Pencil - Tawny $2 (Walgreens, Kmart & Online)
This liner will look fantastic under ANY and EVERY lip color you choose. It is pretty much the exact same color as your lips!!! OH! And also, it is SUPER CHEAP!!!

2. NXY Slim Lip Pencil - Ever $3.50 (Ulta, Targer & Online)
This is my favorite lip liner of all time. I just love the color so much! It's a warm mauve-brown. It is really stunning on the lips and the formula of the lip pencil is on point. 

3. Urban Decay 24/7 Slide on Glide on Lip Pencil - Venom $19 (Ulta, Sephora & Online)
If you follow me on other social media sites, you would know that I rave about this color. Both the liner and lipstick are in my favorites. Its just perfect. Venom is a deeper berry shade which is one of my favorite lips to wear. 

4. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick - Venom $22 (Ulta, Sephora & Online)
Again, I cannot say any more wonderful things about these two products. Really, lol, if you don't own these, just do yourself a favor and buy them. You won't be sorry. The formula is also perfection. Long lasting yet still hydrating.

5. MAC Tinted Lipglass - Lovechild $15 (MAC counters & Online)
The smell of these lip glosses are to die for!! It's like you are jumping into a vanilla happy place!!! They are very long lasting for a lipgloss without being too sticky! I usually put this ontop of a lipstick that is just a tad bit too light so that it gets a little darker. 

6. MAC Lipstick - Creme In Your Coffee $15 (MAC counters & Online)
This has been my favorite everyday lipstick for years now. I have purchased probably 3 of this color. I just will never get enough. Also, like the lipgloss, it smells like a vanilla heaven (I am a sucker for vanilla scented things) It is a great my lips but better color that still gives you a small amount of color addition.

7. NYX Butter Gloss - Tiramisu  $5 (Ulta, Targer & Online)
Uh Oh! What do you know, another vanilla scented lip product!! But, by all means, that pretty much has nothing to do with why I love it. This is probably the creamiest product that has ever been on my lips! Gret pigment!! There is no formula for a lipgloss better than this one. 100% for me!!!

8. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Honey $7-$9 (All Drugstores)
This is what I put on when I'm wearing either minimal makeup or no makeup at all. It is the exact same color as my lips. It just defines them better. I love this product. I have it in I think 6 different shades. Wonderful formula. It also stains the lips after is wears off a little bit. AWESOME!

9. Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain - Cranberry Crush $3 (Walgreens)
GREAT dupe for the revlon balm stains. Super cheap. Good Pigmentation. And, they aren't lying when they say they are moisturizing. I love this color and wear it quite often. Sometimes, I even put it on top of the venom lip liner. Great to keep in the purse.

10. Rosebud Salve $6 (Sephora)
Pretty much the only chapstick that I use. If this is not in my purse, I am not going anywhere!! I live for this salve!!! SOOOO MOISTURIZING!! Smells lovely! Also, this has many different uses. You can put it on dry skin, cuticles and your lips! FANTASTIC!! I have made many of my friends buy this and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!!

11. MAC Lipstick - Capricious $15 (MAC counters)
This is a lustre lipstick so it isnt completely pigmented therefore it just puts a nice flush on the lips and keeps them very moisturized. This is the only lustre lipstick that I have ever liked. Perfect wash of color. It looks very dark, but I promise you it's not! I love this lipstick on the lips! 

12. Mary Kay Tinted Lip Balm - Rose (DISCONTINUED...SORRYYYY)
I know I should't have put this on here because it's discontinued, but you may be able to get it on amazon or something. I found myself reaching for this more and more because it is the exact same color of my lips. I love this product. I'm not usually one for tinted lip balms either.

13. Essence Stay Matte Lip Cream - Silky Red $3 (Ulta)
I have no idea why I even picked this up, but holy moly thank goodness I did because this has become my absolute favorite go to matte red lip. It literally feels like velvet on the lips and smells divine! I am obsessed with this product and I will go back and get the other shades because they are that amazing!!!!

14. Buxom Full On Lip Gloss - Dolly $19 (Sephora)
If you don't have this, get it, NOW!!! This is the only lipgloss I wear now a days!! Perfect lip color, great smell, slight cooling effect to plump lips, super long lasting, not sticky!! JUST SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Another product I cannot say enough about. Just do it, GET IT!!!! You won't be sorry!!!!

15. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsitck - Cherries in the Snow $5 (All Drugstores)
FAVORITE DRUGSTORE LIPSTICK!! Not too red, not too pink, just bright enough to have some fun, but not too bright that you look like a clown. I could not have a lipstick bag without having this color in it. It is literally perfection. Another color that I have made some of my friends buy. I love it!! SO MUCH!!!!

BEST OF BEAUTY 2013 - FACE

Well, another year has gone by and my has it been a great one, especially in the beauty department. There has been TONS of new products that have been added to my collection. Here are a few either staple items in my collection, or product discoveries that have changed my life, lol. I characterized them by face and my favorite topic of all, LIPS! This is just the face products. I will have an entire post about my favorites of lips of 2013!!!! Hope you enjoy and let me know your favorites of the year because I love trying new products!!!


1. Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme Foundation   $45- Sephora
           If you have dry skin, this foundation is AMAZING!!! Fantastic coverage and all day moisture!!!

2. Loreal Visible Lift Foundation   $11- Drugstores (One with brush is discontinued)
           This is by far my favorite foundation of all year!!! EXCELLENT coverage!! PERFECT COLOR MATCH!! GREAT MOISTURE!!! Just an amazing foundation. Hands down my favorite!!

3. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation    $37-  Sephora and Counters
            If you have an event to attend, this should be your go to foundation. It will not budge!! It will cover anything and everything you do not want to be seen. Matte finish so make sure to moisturize intensely. Just plain fabulous.

4. Loreal True Match Foundation     $9 - Drugstores
            This foundation is a staple foundation in both my kit and personal collection. I wear this foundation pretty much every day. It is a medium to full coverage foundation that is def buildable and sets to a very natural finish. I cannot say enough great things about this foundation. I recommend this foundation to everyone who has both dry and oily skin. TERRIFIC!!! GO TRY IT!!! HUGE COLOR SELECTION.

5. MAC Prolongwear Concealer       $19- MAC Counters
          If you don't own this, what are you waiting for!?!? This will both spot conceal and work perfectly under the eyes. You can use this for both concealing and highlighting. It is a completely creaseless concealer that has an advanced technology that prevents the concealer from settling into fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer       $5- Drugstores
         This concealer has become my go to concealer of 2013. For being $5, this really does feel like a luxurious concealer. It is thin in consistency, but so creamy and covers  flawlessly. It doesn't settle into my fine lines and brightens up the under eyes great!!

7. MAC Powder Blush in Melba   $21 - MAC Counters
         This creamy warm toned peachy pink is beautiful. It is a matte blush, but, to me, it almost has a satin finish. I love this blush and wore it almost every day in 2013. It gives the cheeks just a beautiful flush!!

8. MAC Powder Blush in Dame    $21 - MAC Counters
         Another matte blush that is my go-to blush. This blush will go with ANY look from a deep, dark smokey eye to a simple everyday look. This is probably my most worn blush of 2013. I also used this on many clients throughout the year because it works so well with so many skin tones.

9. Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Creme Brulee    $6  - Makeupgeek.com
       FAVORITE EYESHADOW OF 2013!!! HANDS DOWN!!! B E A U T I F U L warm medium peach color. PERFECT for a transition color on the eyes. There aren't enough compliments in the world I could give to this shadow. THE EXACT SAME CONSISTENCY AS MAC FOR LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE. I would recommend this to any and everyone. REALLY, GO GET IT!!!

10. MAC Eyeshadow in Brown Script   $15  - MAC Counters
       Dark warm brown that is beautiful for the crease or darkening the outer corner. I eyed this shadow for EVER until I finally just bit the bullet and got it! NO REGRETS HERE. Beautiful color and so buttery it's crazy.

11. Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Beaches and Cream   $6   - Makeupgeek.com
        This is the perfect all over matte lid color ever. It is a creamy color with warmer undertones. It is a staple shadow in my kit and personal collection. Basic but I still love it!!

12. MAC 224 Blending Brush    $32  - MAC Counters
        I know what you're going to say, "$32 for a makeup brush!!??" I know, I know, but really there is no other brush out there that does what this brush does, I PROMISE!! My mission is to find a dupe for this brush. It blends shadows out immaculately!!!!! PERFECTION FOR REAL!!!!!!

13. Maybelline The Rocket Volume Mascara   $6   - Drugstores
        If you know me, I have the straightest, thinnest, gimp lashes in the world. I do use the waterproof formula because it holds my curl, but I have used this on countless clients and it has never failed me. To this day, it is still my go to mascara. Nothing does what this mascara can do!!

14. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer   $30  - Sephora
         This is the perfect contour powder bronzer in my opinion. Not too warm, not too cool. Completely matte and oh if I forgot, IT SMELLS TO DIE FOR!!!! JUST LIKE HOT COCOA!!!

15. Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette    $27 - Sephora and Ulta
         I have used this palette so much, I hit pan on 4 of the 6 shadows. This is a palette that can be used for everyday wear perfectly. It has a yellow toned matte, pink toned matte, cool light brown transition color, neutral medium brown (my brows) a matte black (linerrrr) and a shimmery white shadow. I would 100% recommend this to all beginners!! You def get a bang for your buck!

16. Urban Decay Original Primer Potion   $20  - Sephora and Ulta
           I don't think this tube will ever end with the small amount you need for one eye!! Your eyeshadow will not budge, crease, wearoff or anything with this stuff!! Talk about heavy duty. MAKEUP STAPLE EASY!!!!

17. Tweezers   $3   - Sally's Beauty Supply
          Another staple and if you know me, I am a brow fanatic. I have an entire blog post about brows, go check it out. If you don't own a pair of tweezers, I am so sorry!!

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed sharing this post with yall!! Let me know what you want to see next!! I love hearing from you guys!!!
