Best of 2012.

 I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon and doing my best of 2012 post. I was hesitant to do this post as there are many products that I love but still think there's better out there. However while rummaging though my stash I realised there are a good number of products that I can see myself repurchasing over and over in the future.

Dove summer glow - Helps my fake tan last for a week, doesn't stink and offers a natural even colour.

Sleek Storm Palette - Probably the most spoken about sleek product, offers a range of colours in matt and shimmer shades. Can create many different eyes from it.

MUA Lipstick Shade 4 - A sheer moisturising Nicki Minaj colours, looks fab mixed with other shades and over the top of Benefit posie tint.

Bourjois Healthy mix - A long wearing natural looking foundation. Offers a medium to full coverage and has a good shade range.

Revlon Colourstay - A full coverage heavy foundation, comes in two formulation and has a reasonably large shade range, all with fairly neutral undertones.

Jade Goody Shh... - A light wintering scent, best described as sweet and spicy.

Carino Miracle Oil - Representing hair oils in general for me, a light weight cheap alternative for Moroccan oil.

Murad Oil Control Mattfier SPF 15 - Light weight and doesn't flash back in photos. Has protected my skin from the harshest of sun, doesn't do much for oil control.

Clinique Blended Loose Powder - Bloody amazing, well worth the spend, lasts forever and is very finely milled, can look cakey but the best powder I have ever tried.

EOS Lip balm - Light weight sheer lip balm. Very moisturising, works great under & over lip stick.

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer Sunny - Cheap and cheerful, applies like a dream and doesn't look orangery, muddy or cakey. Is completely matt.

Cargo Lip Gloss Serengeti - received this as a sample and fell in love. Haven't been able to purchase one full sized sadly. Non sticky and very smooth on the lips making your lips look plum and full.

2 True Eyebrow Pencil - I warm this up on the back of my hand then apply it with an angled eyeliner brush. It's not to ashy or too red and stays all day while remaining natural.

NYX Eyeshadow Vanilla Shimmer -  A peachy eyeshadow with a hell of a lot of shimmer/glitter running through it, when buffed in looks neutral (colour disappear) and literally looks  like fairy dust on your eyes,

Keep your eyes peeled for a worst of 2012 post.
