2013 favourites!

While over the year of 2013, despite being one of the mosts I wanted to get done every month, I havent managed to keep you updated over the months as to what my monthly favourites are! In fact I think I have only done a couple of these posts this year! I love reading these posts so I have decided for 2014 I will be sharing my monthly favourites with you!

Anyway today I thought I would do a run down of the products I have been loving over 2013 as a whole! This year I have discovered a lot of beauty loves and tried a lot of new things! Heres a run down of some of my favourites.

Tangle Teezer 

Im not going to lie - my hair can be a right bitch! I started using my Tangle Teezer religiously this year and man can I tell the difference! I can certainly tell the change if I dont use it! I really love this brush as it unknots my ever so curly hair when I have washed it with no problemos! 

Mac Soft and Gentle Skin Finish

I have a lot of love for this skin finish as you will know if you have been around for a while! It is extremely beautiful! More recently I have been shaking thing up and have been using Buck from my Naked Palette in my crease and then using this as a base all over shadow which looks really lovely. I have also been doing the same with Nooner from the Naked 3 Palette! 

Urban Decay Naked Palettes! 

 I cant believe that this year was the first year I dabbled into the world of Urban Decay and Naked Palettes! I picked up the original naked palette as a treat to myself for hitting my 2 stone and I jumped at the change to get the Naked 3 when I saw online how beautiful the colours were. I have been loving using the colours in both of these palettes! They are perfect for day time when I am at work but also there are some beautiful colours in there too to create a gorgeous smokey eye!

Essie Nail Polishes

2013 also saw my first Essie nail purchase when I was sent a voucher from Boots and i picked up the beautiful and ever popular Mint Candy Apple! Since then I have had a bit of a love with their polishes and have added a few to my collection over the year! As well as their beautiful colours they also do nail prep well. Although the Rock Solid to me was just another base coat and nothing special I am TOTALLY in love with their Good to Go topcoat! This baby dries your nails in seconds flat and prevents those smudged mani's that we all dread! 

OPI Nail Envy

Again this was another buy that I got drawn into by the blogging community! I had heard so much about bloggers raving about how good this product was that I couldnt not buy it and give it a try for myself  - only problem is I am now hooked on this! It has improved the health of my nails massively and although they have never been massively bad, they were starting to see the ill effects of being painted every week and lots of glitter polish! Although expensive I can see this is going to be one of my nail staples for 2014. I am just coming to the end of my bottle now - not bad when you consider I have used it every week since I picked it up in May! 

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Another beauty blog on the whim purchase! Are you sensing a theme?? I picked this up not long after I started wearing contact lenses and again I havent looked back since! I have already repurchased for when my current one runs out. I love the little brush on this and this is defiantly the winning part of this product. 

Mac Pro Palette

You may remember I picked up this little beauty on my trip to Birmingham with my bestie in October (and another one in December when I went to Trafford) - I love this palette and seriously wish I had picked one up before now. I can definatly see more of these little beauties in my life. In fact I may even pick up one of the 15 palettes next time I am passing a Mac stand as I already have 8 mac shadows now. When we go away in May I am hoooooping and praying that the Mac stand will be open!

I could go on and on as I have discovered some pretty good beauty finds this year! I think though that these have got to be my top products which I love! What products have you been loving for 2013?? Have you made some discoveries which you are loving and taking into 2014???
