Best of 2012: Beautywith Ruby Kisses, Burt's Bees, M.A.C This is by no means an exhaustive list but I'd be typing forever if I posted all the items I loved this year so here are a few that have become staples for daily use. 1. Maybelline Color Tattoo- I have all of the original release and plan to get a few of the newer shades. These are great on their own or as bases for your shadows. 2. Urban Decay Naked Palettes (1 & 2). I use these daily! I absolutely love these palettes and never get tired of the neutral looks that I come up with. Of course you can incorporate them with pops of color too. 3. NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer- Believe the hype! I'm in the shade Cuba and it's a perfect match for my skin. Blends well and gives your face an amazing look and feel. Of course, it's a tinted moisturizer so the coverage is light and it may not last all day but it's a pretty good product. I usually set it with MAC Blot powder in the T-zone only and I'm good to go. 4. Ruby Kisses Gel Liner in Black- Hand down THE best gel liner I've ever used. Water-proof and will not budge until you're ready to take it off. They also make great eye-shadow bases. 5. MAC Russian Red- My favorite red lipstick ever from MAC. It's a matte bluish red but definitely not the same as Ruby Woo. It's actually a bit creamier (less drying) than Ruby Woo which I absoloutely love. 6. Burts Bees Lipbalm- The.best.lipbalm.ever. So moisturizing yet not waxy on the lips. I have the minty one and the pomegranate one. Need to expand my collection in 2013. 7. MAC Blushes- Fell in love with MAC blushes this year and really built my collection a bit. Gingerly, Pinch Me, Sincere and Coppertone were in heavy rotation. 8. MAC Careblend Pressed Powder- Not cakey. Very sheer and smooth. Goes with every foundation I own 9. MAC Prep and Prime Natural Radiance Base Visage- Love this primer. Use this under your more matte foundations and it allows the product to glide onto your skin. It gets rid of that cakey look and gives you more of a your skin but better glow. 10. Revlon Whipped Creme Foundation- Revlon blew my mind with this. The coverage is lovely. It's a whipped cream foundation but it does not feel heavy on the skin. I use Toast and while it can look a bit white on the darker areas of my face, once i use a corrector i'm good to go. I usually set this with my MAC MSF Natural in Dark
