Best of 2013 - Lips, nails, hair

Well hello,

this is the last category, containing nail, lip and hair products. Let´s get into it, shall we?

I thought choosing my favourite lipstick is going to be a lot harder that is actually was. Ever since I tried it for the first time Mac´s Kinda Sexy stood out from everything else that I own... The buttery finish, great pigmentation, staying power, this one had it all. It is matte finish but not drying at all. Its considered to be a neutral shade, but on my light skin it looks brownish red. It probably doesn´t sound very attractive, but on the lips and my complexion it looks quite beautiful.

Next lip product is waterproof lip liner from the brand Art Deco. The vibrant fuchsia color in number 91 was one of my favourite shades last fall. And It is so long lasting. This is one of those lip products you put on once and can dance the night away, drinking, having fun without worrying about your lipstick smudging all over your face. Definitely one of the greatest lip products I have tried so far.

You already know I own a lot of nail polish, so I really tried to restrain myself from buying a lot of nail polish last year. And I quite succeeded. One of the few I did purchase is Essence nail polish called Gold Digger. This shade was on my nails all through  December. A perfect combination of elegant, festive and subtle. And I got a lot of compliments on it.

I already talked about my love for this next product. My new  favourite make-up remover from Loreal. Their Skin Perfection removes the makeup and also benefits the skin. And doesn´t irritate the eyes, so it is  perfect for all the sensitive eyes out there, ha ha.

I don´t talk about hair products a lot, because when I find something that works I tend to stick to it. Macadamia deep repair masque really made a difference in my hair. My hair has never been so smooth, silky and healthy looking before. True, it is not cheap at all, but worth the money. A little goes a long way. This little guy will last you for a while.

 I  hope you enjoyed my 2013 favourite posts and found them useful. If you need any more information don´t hesitate to ask. Tell me, what are your fave products from 2013?

Love,

Best of 2013 - Eyes

Well hello,

even though I love lipsticks and blushes way more than eyeshadow,  last year I played with eyeshadow quite a bit. So let´s take a look at my fave eye products of 2013.

I have been using Prime and Fine from Catrice Cosmetics as an eyeshadow primer for a long time now, It also made it in my 2012 favourites. I had a love and hate relationship with this one, since it is made for the face, where it failed miserably. My oily skin was  an even oilier mess and I was ready to throw it away. Then I used it on my eyes and I couldn´t believe how great it works. It doesn´t creases, eyeshadow stays on for hours and hours and it is very buttery. It really is the best. And so affordable. Winning combination! Mine is pretty beat up that is why I added an official picture.




I also caved in all the hype about Maybelline 24hr Color Tatoos, and I obviously fell in love in them. I own three shades, but my fave is Permanent Taupe (I still don´t get the different names!), which is perfect neutral matte  shade for everyday  use. It has been my winter must have. I have been using it as an eyeshadow base as well as on its own. Equally beautiful.

For a single eyeshadow I have to mention Catrice Cosmetics Liquid metal eyeshadow in the shade  All real Gold. This one came out in a collection, but they have many beautiful shades in the permanent range now. The pigmentation is phenomenal and staying power as well. You have to check them out.




Now for the favourite palette. I finally own The Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. And I am amazed with the quality and beauty of the shadows. It is probably my number one product for the 2013. I will do a review on this one soon.

My fave eyeliner is  a repeat from 2012 favourites, but what can I  say? I always go back to it. Its Catrice Cosmetics Kohl Kajal eyeliner. It´s very creamy,  pigmented and long lasting. I have been using black and brown eyeliner as well.


And lastly, fave mascara. I finally found a mascara that I love more that Maybelline Falsies mascara. Even though they come pretty close, I just prefer Maxfactor 2000 Calorie. It is extremely black, ,thickening and voluming. In the last year I probably repurchased it about three times.



And that is all for eye favourites. The last category is coming up shortly.

Love,
