Happy Monday to you! I hope you're staying warm where ever you are. As per my annual tradition, I'm once again sharing some of my favorite beauty products of the year. And I made a really short video as well! I hope you enjoy.
Can't view the video? Click here.
- Revlon Lip Balm Stain in Smitten--I wore this very wearable shade but love many other shades as well as the new matte ones. For more lip crayon reviews, click here.
- Walgreens Revo Lip Balm in Sugar Cookies--I have other scents as well, but this is the one I grabbed the most. So moisturizing! I love it way more than EOS.
- Milani 3D Lip Glitsy Glamour Gloss in Designer Label--A nude peach with pink and gold sparkles that looks great over any color. I really love it on a red lip.
- Sally Hansen Twinkle Toes-ty--This is just a perfect glitter polish. Every time I wear this, I get asked what it is. Gorgeous.
- Essie First Timer--I was expecting pink since I have the most of those, but I wore this one so much! My favorite green shade of polish! I've tried for years to make my own shade of this and so glad it exists now!
- L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm--For when I'm too lazy to whip up my own mask and want something that works--soft hair in a hurry!
- Suave Shine Mask--My super cheap (under $5) secret for getting shine back into hair
- Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara--For gorgeous bombshell lashes
- Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara--I love the wand for those tiny bottom lashes. And the formula for the top lashes makes them extra long. I get compliments on my lashes every time I wear it. Skip the waterproof!

- Lorac Unzipped--A neutral palette full of rose-gold tones that's different from the usual browns
- NARS Guy Bourdin Blush Palette--This LE palette is full of gorgeous blushes, a highlighter, and a bronzer. It's an all-in-one!
- Nova White Teeth Whitening Kit--Originally shared here, this is one of the best at-home kits I've ever used.
- Sigma E40 Blending Brush--This brush is the icing on the cake when it comes to blending out shadows. I've used others and nothing gave me the look I wanted until I started using this. I've got a code on the left for 10% off, if interested.
What were your favorite products of the past year?
You have some products on there that I love too!! :) I want to try the Lorac palette && the Too Faced mascara. Some of the products that I fell in love with this year are: Essie- Set In Stones, NYX eye pencil- Milk, and Burts Bees lip balms. I'm working on a blog post right now about my favorite products from 2013 so I don't want to say too much. ;)

ReplyDeleteLove that polish combo! And I would love to try that Revlon lip stain.
ReplyDeleteThat NARS palette has shown up a few times today on my reader -- such a cool set! :) I also love that Essie polish. I'll have to keep an eye out for it, it looks creamy and comforting. :)

ReplyDeleteThat NARS palette looks mighty fine:D And will look for that Suave mask.
ReplyDeleteI love Revlon Just bitten lip crayon too! it goes on so smoothly! I'm bummed I left it on a plane ride a few weeks ago. I have to try that Sally Hansen nail polish too!

Nice video. I would love to try the l'Oréal hair mask!
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome list and I have to get so many of them...the Revlon Lip balm, the L'oreal balm, the hair shine mask, the lorac palette and the blush.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind having that NARS blush set. :) cool video, btw.
ReplyDeleteThank you for another wonderful review, Elle! x
ReplyDeleteMy favorite product was they are real mascara by benefit.
ReplyDeleteAw I was looking forward to you talking! Loved the suspense of each item lol I wasn't a fan of Maybelline's Big Eyes but I do like Too Faced's Better Than Sex (just not the name). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying your mascara picks as mascara and eyeliner are the only cosmetics I wear on a regular basis. Smashbox Limitless Lash has been my favorite for a while and if I admitted how old my stash is I'm afraid the girl police will show up to confiscate my cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever review shampoo and conditioner? Does brand matter that much if you use finishing products?
I like the color nail polish you chose. The girls and I love a nice color. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great things you have listed here and I think I may need to go on a mini shopping spree now :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try the at home whitening!
ReplyDeleteBetter than sex? That must be some mascara! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff and i so want that nars blush palette!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Unfortunately none are available in India

That Essie color was my favorite this year too. I literally wore mint on my nails the entire last summer.

Will have to try Sally's Twinkle Toes--looks lovely! I adore mint/green-toned nail polishes! Just bought a new one (Essie), myself. :) T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Maybelline mascaras! It seriously looks like I have fake lashes when I use it!

Love the video! I'll have to try the hair products-- my hair is so dry right now :(
ReplyDeleteI am OBSESSED with Revlon lip balm stains. I think I have 5 or 6 now. They're the best, no doubt about it. Portable, easy to put on, long lasting... ahhh... I just love them!
ReplyDeleteGonna try that Too Face Mascara! Great pick as always, Elle!
ReplyDeleteLove your video honey and so cute products!
ReplyDeleteHappy and fabulous 2014 <3

Love this list! While I haven't tried all of these products, I agree with you on the Lorac Unzipped palette - I think it doesn't get enough love at all. I think its colors are stunning on any eye color, and I found the pigmentation and quality to be better than even the Lorac Pro palette. Am loving the Suave Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner, too, and will have to use the deep conditioner more now (I bought these 3 plus the serum in a kit).

Oh my gosh I want that Walgreens lip balm NOW! My favorite products this year were Revlon Colorstay, Smashbox Soft focus and Too faced chocolate soliel (sp?)
ReplyDeleteGreat. I told myself I wouldn't buy any more makeup for a while since I ruined the last stuff I got, but I want so many of these! I'll have to make a trip back to the store. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that Nars Guy Bourdin palette looks amazing! I'll bet I missed the boat on it, maybe I should hit my store...
ReplyDeleteI tried that Maybelline Mascara, didn't care for it. But I wish I could get that lower lash brush in a tube of my Volumionous Million Lashes <3
