My 2013 Make Up & Beauty Favourites



Happy 2014 to all of you lovely readers. I can't believe that 2013 is already over, it honestly doesn't feel like a year since I posted about hitting 300 followers and now I'm sitting here close to 1000. Its really so insane and I love each and ever one of you for taking your time to click the follow button. It genuinely means a lot and keeps me posting on here on a regular basis (or as regular as I can with a full time job) 



Right so enough of this cheesy stuff, and now on to my favourites. I was going to do a December Favourites but one of 2013 is definitely more fun and will obviously be a million times more fun. 


I was lucky enough to receive this from himself for Christmas and even in the last few weeks I have fallen head over heels in love. It is the most beautiful fragrance I have ever smelt. I love a floral fragrance but most can seem quite cheap and young, this is a very mature elegant fragrance and its truly beautiful. 


This baby has been on my blog many many times. I absolutely adore this product and it is a holy grail of my make up routine especially if I have a long day of work or a long night out with the girls. A few sprays of this baby and my make up wont budge what so ever. Its a must have if you are like me and have suffered through make up being on your chest after a few hours of wear.


I rant and rave about this product as much as I can. I absolutely adore it and it is hands down my holy grail of tans. It has rarely left my skin this year. It is beautiful. Its the perfect natural brown tan and not orange what so ever. Its so natural and a breeze to put on. Use it with the Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip Moisturiser and you have a perfect non streak natural tan.   


I have used this for years now. Sadly its only available in Sephora so I make sure to stock up at any chance I get. It removes your makeup in one fine swoop and you are perfectly clean. Its a great alternative to the devil that is make up wipes. I used to be addicted to make up wipes before I realised how bad they are for my skin so this is a perfect quick and easy option especially after a long night out. 


Since I received this flat topped duo fiber brush at a Dublin Beauty Blogger MeetUp in November and I haven't used any other foundation brush to do my make up since. This gives a flawless finish to all fluid foundations and makes your skin truly flawless.  It can also be used to blend in contours and powders. Its truly a well rounded foundation brush. If you have yet to try any of the Blank Canvas Brushes you have to. They are all incredible. 


I have repurchased this primer so many times over already. It is an amazing product. I use it over my foundation to minimise the size of my pores and imperfections. It is an amazing product and definitely one that I would urge everyone to buy it. 



Who doesn't like a naked palette?? That's right nobody!!! They are an amazing range of palettes. Even though I have get to get my hands on the Naked 3 palette (its always out of stock!!!) The Naked 1 & 2 as well as Basics are all amazing Palettes that can create a natural and a smokey eye. Its the perfect every look palette. 



Every beauty lover knows how popular Nars Laguna and Orgasm are. I adore both of them and love how well they work together. Nars Orgasm, as many may know, is one of the fastest selling Blushes on the market. When you try it you definitely know why it sells out so quickly. Nars Lagona is just just like orgasm, It is an amazing bronzer. Since it is a mostly matt shade with only a small Golden shimmer  so it works well with the shimmer in Orgasm. Now that I've sadly hit the pan on it I'm in line for a new one for sure. It is one of those shades that works well with both tan and pale skin. Its the perfect shade. 


I have used Bio Oil for years, but recently I have learn of a beauty trick Kim Kardashian swears by which is putting Bio Oil under your moisturiser at night. I have started this trick lately and my skin has never been as soft or clear in ages. If your in need for a new nighttime routine I can not recommend this enough. 


I blogged about this recently, it was sent to me for review, which shall be up by the end of the week for sure. I adore this product already and its only been about 2 weeks of using it. As an avid red wine and black coffee drinker my teeth have been through the mill of stains and until this they were definitely in need of a whitening treatment.  This product has brought them back already in such a short space of time, I'm so excited to see what it can do with them over the course of a few weeks. 

Hope you all liked my favourites. If you have a blog and have posted your end of year favourites make sure to post your link in the comments. I cant wait to have a read of some of them.
