★2013 Favorites★

These are my all over favorites that I have used and 80% I have repurchased again! And as for 2014 liste to the video embedded up at the top. =) Happy New Year!

Skincare

Michael Todd's True Organics Charcoal Detox - I loved this stuff during the summer. It refreshed my face. It unclogged my pores from everything. It was a bottle that went very fast because I used it all summer. I am going to purchase it again for the coming summer as well.

Origins Checks and Balances - Summer leaves and winter comes... This is an amazing product! I love it for cleansing during the winter months. It's ABSOLUTELY perfect for unclogging pores and it's great for all skin types, oily, combo, and dry.

St. Tropez Self Tan Kit - I do tan or did. I no longer keep the shade like I use to do all the time. I do use this to keep some color. It goes on flawless and there is 100% no orange hue at all! The rest of you can use cheap drugstore self tanners and walk around like a Dorito but that's your prerogative.

Michael Todd's True Organics Walnut Grapefruit Body Polish - This an amazing scrub. It isn't much to look at coming out of the container because it really looks gross. But it really removes the dead skin off and leaves you with smooth skin and light fragrance.

Sally Hansen Zero Bumps Bikini Spray - Yep I am going there! Down there! Seriously this works, shave the bikini area (I only let very few wax me and I will sometimes wax myself there but that's for like extensive vacations) and this is awesome! Shave, get out of the shower and spray! No bumps!

I debated and debated with myself whether or not to add this. Yes it is a staple for me but it hasn't just been this year. I have loved this for a year and half.. So yeah Bioderma. It gets off ALL dirt, make up, and oil. Even guys that don't wear make up get off gunk with this stuff. It is seriously amazing.

Lips

Revlon Lip Butter - Any of the colors. I just love this moisturizing lip color!

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in Peach Passion - This is a smooth and beautiful color for just a hint of sunshine on the lips.

Eyes

Michael Todd's Intensive Organic Cream Eye Treatment - This has been my night eye cream since May. I was sent this (and the Eyeosonic) by mistake from Michael Todd and they told me to keep it free of charge and try it. I fell in love with it. They did go ahead and send me the rest of my actual order. It treats puffiness and aging. I don't care how good people say my skin is I want it to stay that way so why not go ahead and start on it.

Origins GinZing - Is my day eye cream. It really wakes me and my eyes up. It wipes out puffiness and makes me look like I had a full nights rest which I very rarely get.

Primers

NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base - Especially during the summer I can get oily eyelids and this knocks out the oil and my eye-shadow will stay in place all day.

Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer - This primer is flawless! I seen in some reviews about people mentioning glitter but I've never had any glitter in it, if anything I've found it matte. It blurs pores beautifully and makes my makeup last longer. I've tried many different primers but this one is my absolute favourite. Definitely worth the higher price point.

Face

CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 - I totally rocked this for the last 2 months of 2013 and still working it. I LOVE this! It's a complete coverage. I do wear moisturizer under the primer and this. I do not have to use as much primer with this though which is just, well, fabulous!

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Agent Zero Shine Vanishing Powder ~ I love this stuff. My pores have seriously vanished when using this! I have been using this for a couple of weeks and I do not care. It made 2013 amazing!!! Trust me it's magic in a bottle! The pores are gone!

Sleek Rose Gold Blush - Ahhh I love rose gold! Rose gold make up makes this girl really happy!

Hair

S Factor Smoothing Shampoo - I know I have raved and raved about this shampoo that's because it smells like heaven and it really does wonder for no frizz! I have just been astounded at the no frizz from the hair. If you color your hair the line has a color protecting line and they have a repair shampoo as well.

Paul Mitchell Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo - It is a great shampoo that smells amazing! It does it's just for fine hair. It protects against split ends and it strengthens your hair.

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque - This is the perfect conditioner during the summer if you get in the pool and have a lot of sun damage. It's also excellent for colored hair. It smells incredible. I would not recommend using this on your roots for it is really thick.

Tools

Michael Todd's Eyeosonic - This is a great tool if you use eye cream like I do. I use it during the day and especially at night. It gently vibrates the cream into the area of your eye without forces it into your skin or just laying cream onto your skin (which actually makes your eyes puffy if you do that.)

Kleenex Hand Towels - I love this product. If they stop making this I am up a big creek. Wearing a face mask that requires you to use a warm washcloth but you look at your wash cloth and think oh this is gonna stain these. Because it will. It is also great for washing off cleanser that brings even more make up off your face and doesn't need to stain your wash cloth. That is what these are so great for! Also great for spot cleaning brushes.

Tropic Shine Four-Way Colossal Nail Buffer - I love this in my desk at work and I have the mini one in my purse! Shape, buff and shine!

Real Techniques Stippling Brush - What most people don't realize is that Real Technique brushes are made out of the same material that MAC brushes are so why not go for some cheaper? I did and this brush is amazing. This is my foundation brush of choice.

Up & Up exfoliating rounds - Go ahead get the ones from Ulta if you want. I just like getting these on my twice a week runs to Target.

Shiseido Makeup Facial Cotton ~ I order these online all the time. They just feel so soft and help with cleansing all the time.

Candles

Paris Daydream from Bath and Body Works - You people have no idea how happy I was to have this scent my life. I actually started out with the wall flower right before I went to surgery when my brother had to have stem cells. I love it because it smells like the Walt Disney World ride called Soarin. I would sniff it and I was transported to Disney World.

My other favorite is definitely Candles by Victoria Coffee Cup Cuties in Red Velvet Cupcake. The really cool thing is that you can actually use the coffee cup afterwards when the candle is finished by doing a few simple ways of cleaning the wax out.

Movies

No surprise but Frozen is my number one.
Saving Mr. Banks
The Great Gatsby
The the Hunger Games 2
The Hobbit 2
The Heat
The Croods
Gangster Squad
Jobs
The Lone Ranger
Monster University
The Smurfs 2
Percy Jackson
Planes
Iron Man 3
Fast & Furious 6
World War Z
Star Trek into the Darkness
The Christmas Candle
The Wolverine

One movie I do not recommend even though it's a Disney movie is The Wizard of Oz movie. I am sorry this is geared towards kids and all this movie promotes is lying. So no not in my collection. (However I did love the make up palettes for the movie.)

Nails

Essie Topless and Barefoot - I rocked this color 90% of the year. It was easy and went with everything.

Esse Luxeffects Glitter Top Coat Shine of Times - I love shimmer. I think my cousin maybe having an effect on me. But this is a great shine coat.

Julep Bunny - Love this white!

Julep Audrey - Perfect baby pink!
