Favorite beauty products of 2012

I'm a product whore! There, I said it. Here are some products that left me thinking wow!

Live Clean Exotic Nectar Body Lotion
Live Clean has recently become one of my favorite brands. Their products are relatively green, affordable and of good quality. I picked up the Exotic Nectar Body Lotion about a month ago and I absolutely love it. It smells great, is refreshing and is reasonably priced. I also use it on my face an it leaves my face with a very nice glow which comes through even when I'm wearing makeup. What's not to love?

Equate Exfoliating Cleansing Towelettes
I was going to list the Balea Sensitive Facial Wipes (unscented) but I made this last minute change after using the Equate wipes for over a month.. The Balea brand is great but a little bit too moist for me. The Equate wipes are bit exfoliating which you can feel on your skin, and does a great job of taking off your makeup except my mascara which is always a pain to get off regardless of the brand I use. I still use the Balea wipes and I highly recommend it.


Estee Lauder Sparking Clean Purifying Mud Foam Cleanser
This cleanser has filled my


Loreal Telescopic Clean Definition
I bought this because it was cheaper than the Original Telescopic mascara (right). I didn't like it at first but I now really love. What works for me is not wiggling the mascara wand as much and more upward motions instead, if you know what I mean. Check out Wayne's vid for more info.



Skindinavia Bridal Makeup Finishing Spray
I bought this after a recommendation from Wayne Goss. This spray is great for many reasons: it has a pleasant smell, gives a nice finishing glow to your makeup, and makes your makeup last longer. When I ordered mine last April, it came with 2 additional mini sprays which was good. I use this daily and I just got done with my 2nd bottle.

Quo Retexture cream face primer
Does all a primer should do and gives an extra glow as well. Best primer I've used till date and trust me, I've used a lot.

Sleek Contour Kit
Amazing contour kit, about to hit pan with this one (about a year later) and will definitely be repurchasing.

Illamasqua Libido
5 words: Amazing orange (dewy) blush, buy now!

Coastal Scents Camouflage Concealer
I finally bought this concealer after the Youtube guru craze and I do not regret it. It's just like the MAC stuff I've used for years but you get 10 pans for less the cost of 1 tube of MAC. This concealer is creamy and long-lasting.

Milk of Magnesia
Yep, if you've got oily skin like I do then get this stuff and use it as a primer. #enoughsaid. PS: I've found that the Phillips brand works best.




Bonus product:
American Apparel Metallic - Violet Panache
This would be a perfect nail polish if it wasn't so runny and chippy. But the color is so beautiful and vibrant which kinda makes up for it.
