2012 Favourites!

OK so this post may be a little late but I wanted to share with you my favourites of 2012...
  1. Lee Stafford Hair Treatment - £7.99 - I love this product, it makes my hair feel amazing and I feel like it has grown more since I have been using it - Review here
  2. Soap and Glory Cosmetics, Trick and Treatment Concealer - £9 and Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Gloss Sticks - £8 - Again I have been loving these. I am not a massive fan of lip sticks as I find them drying but I love these as they give a colour which lasts for hours. 
  3. Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Beguile - £15.50 - If you follow Louise at Sprinkle of Glitter on her blog or youtube channel then you will know how much she loves this. I brought this on her recommendation. This is such a nice eye shadow, perfect for christmas or a night out. It is so pigmented (as you would expect from the name) and this one is such a nice sparkly shade. 
  4. Lush Snow Fairy - from £3.25 - This to me smells like Lush in a bottle - This is such a fantastic smell. Its such a shame this is only avaliable at Christmas but I stocked up to last me!
  5. OPI Polishes - I'm all Ears and You only live twice - £11 - These 2 were my first OPI purchases (the others I have were gifts). I love these, I can see why people rave about these. 
  6. Benefit Hello Flawless foundation - £24.50 - I started using this towards the end of 2012 and I am  completely in love. It is such a fantastic foundation. It feels so light on my skin and allows skin to breath as well as giving a great coverage - Review here
  7. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - £14.25 - This has been my favourite product find of 2012. I only started again using this in late 2012 but I am in love and have already taken advantage of Liz Earle Christmas offers to repurchase it.
  8. Sally Hansen Insta Dry - £5.99 - You all know how much I love to change my nail polish lots and this product makes it so quick and easy to do this! - Review here
  9. Real Techniques Brushes - £20ish - This has been my joint find in 2012. I really got into using make up more this year and I have seriously extended my make up brush collection this year. These brushes are my all time favourites.
  10. Accessorise Lovely Day Palette - £8.99 - This has been my go to palette this year. It has all the colours I use in and I love that they are all in one place - what more can you ask for!
  11. Mac Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle - £21.50 - My first Mac purchase has been a complete and utter success. I am so in love with this product. It has slipped right into my make up routine and I am loving using it! 
  12. Benefit Porefessional - £23.50 - Again something else I discovered in late 2012 but again something I love. This makes my make up look so much better and I am really loving using it.
I really feel like I have found my make up self in 2012. I have tried so many different products and have really found some ones I love. I cant wait to keep discovering new things in 2013.

What have been your beauty highlights for 2012?
