1. Evolution of Smooth lip balm: these
babies became very popular this year for their smooth texture, wide range of
colors, range of flavors, and odd egg shape. They are a bit pricey for a lip balm ranging around $3.50, but they last
quite a long time and are a nice change from standard chapstick.
2. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette: this
palette had more hype around it's release than the first Naked Palette and
rightly so. This eye shadow palette is
simply perfect containing 12 neutral shades. It allows you to create anything
as basic as a natural eye look to a dramatic smokey eye. Priced reasonably at $50, it is a staple in
many women’s vanities.
3. Vaseline Spray On Lotion: this spray on
lotion was revolutionary in the beauty world for 2013. It makes the process of moisturizing quick,
efficient, and leaves out the oily residue on your hands. It also dries surprisingly fast which is a
nice bonus!
4. Essie Nail Polish: this brand really
made an impact in 2013 with their creative titles, wide range of colors, range
of finishes, and perfectly shaped brush. I am a huge fan of Essie and would choose it over most other nail polish
brands. Each polish costs around $8,
which can be a bit expensive, but the quality pay-off is worth it.
5. Benefit 'They’re Real' Mascara: this
mascara is like nothing I’ve ever tried before. The formula is budge proof and does not flake throughout the day. However, it requires heavy makeup remover to
take off. But overall, it’s a great
mascara especially because the applicator is shaped perfectly allowing you to
reach your most inner and outer lashes.
6. Maybelline 'Baby Lips' lip balm: Baby Lips
have been huge in the world of beauty gurus on YouTube this year. They’re essentially tinted lip balms that
come in many different colors and flavors.
They’re great for moisturizer dry chapped lips and are pretty cost
friendly.
7. NARS Laguna Bronzer-This bronzer is the
best in the business. It has amazing
color pay-off, matches many different skin tones, comes from a trusted brand,
and comes in both matte and shimmery versions. The catch is, it’s quite expensive costing you $40. Just think of it as a beauty investment. It will last a very long time so it will
probably pay for itself over time.
8. Urban
Decay Primer Potion: if you are an avid eye shadow wearer this product
should be in your makeup bag if it’s not already. This magic potion keeps eye shadow looking
fresh all day without smudging or creasing. I swear by this stuff.
9. Maybelline 'Age Rewind' under eye concealer: this
concealer is great for girls who wakeup with dark circles under their eyes in
the morning. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for concealing blemishes. The sponge roller ball applicator is very
handy and keeps applying your makeup from getting too messy.
10. Makeup Forever HD Foundation: this
foundation has been raved about in the beauty community all throughout
2013. It's texture, finish, and overall
staying power is what makes it such a great full coverage foundation. If you are a foundation girl or are looking
for flawless coverage I would try it out!
11. MAC lipstick: MAC's lip products in
general are great but their lipsticks are especially good. They come in any shade imaginable and many
different finishes. The packaging is
sleek, simple, and priced pretty well at $14.50.
12. Rimmel Stay Matte powder: this powder is
a life saver for me! It’s light coverage
almost translucent, but it takes away any oily areas on your face. It’s great for setting foundation and keeps
your face looking fresh.
13. Batiste Dry Shampoo: this dry shampoo is
one of the best I’ve tried. It comes in
many scents and really cute quirky packaging. The product itself takes away any oil build up in your hair, leaves it
smelling fresh, and doesn’t leave a white residue behind.
14. Garnier Fructis Moroccan Oil: this
little oil works wonders for dry and split-ended hair and it smells absolutely fantastic.
15. Real Techniques makeup brushes: these
makeup brushes are nice for someone who wants flawless makeup application, but
doesn’t want to pay for expensive brushes. These brushes were actually designed by a professional makeup artist and
are great for anyone interested in makeup. They are reasonably priced, very soft, and will give you amazing
results.
16. Clean and Clear body wash: these body
washes smell delicious, exfoliate with mini beads, and have you feeling clean
fresh out the shower.
17. L’Oreal Elnett hair spray: this hair
spray is loved by the beauty community for its flexible, but strong hold
formula. It allows your hair to move
without the crunchy, sticky feeling some other hairsprays can give.
18. Clear shampoo and conditioner: this set
works well for basically any hair type. It moisturizes, doesn’t strip the scalp of natural oils, and takes away
any problems concerning the scalp such as flaking or itchiness. It’s also very inexpensive, which is another
reason to try it.
That’s a wrap for the
beauty awards of 2013! I can’t wait to
see what new products 2014 has to offer.
