Best of 2013 : Makeup & Haircare

I am back today with the second edition of my favorite beauty products of 2013 listing my top picks in the makeup and haircare category. All of these newly discovered loves were released in 2013 except one. So, here they are…

It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush Butters – These lippies are a winner all around with the benefits of a color-rich lipstick, anti-aging lip conditioning balm and the fresh shiny finish of a lip gloss in an all in 1 formula that helps smooth and protect lips, while giving you a gorgeous flush of color! With an ultra-creamy, buttery texture and universally flattering, fresh hues, these lip butters are just perfect to create a luxe lip look with ease!

It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ – True to its name, this CC cream really gives your skin a natural “your skin but better” glow. The highly pigmented formula provides excellent yet natural-looking coverage with a slightly dewy finish that I love! You can easily count on this product to take care of any redness and it also covers up my acne scars and dark spots almost completely without looking like I’m wearing a ton of makeup…..complexion perfection in a flash!

Jane Iredale PureGloss Lip Glosses – Of all my lip glosses, I find myself reaching for these most often. Not only do they have a non-sticky, antioxidant infused hydrating formula but the colors also look beautiful…Beach Plum is just so gorgeous!

Urban Decay Vice 2 palette – This is a fantastic palette loaded with 20 new gorgeous eye shadow shades with cool brights, not-your-average neutrals, and sexy hits of smoke….perfect for just about any occasion. LOVE it!

Tarte smolderEYES Amazonian clay waterproof liners – These eyeliners have been my favorite since I first discovered them in 2011! They have a rich and creamy formula that glides on super smoothly and won’t fade, run, or budge until you’re ready to take it off. Truly one of the best long-wearing eyeliners I’ve ever tried!

DermOrganic Haircare – And the award for the best affordable sulfate-free haircare line of the year goes to DermOrganic! Enriched with Argan oil, Rice Keratin and antioxidant plant extracts, this moisturizing haircare range is perfect for dry, color-treated hair like mine. A must-try if you have been wanting to go sulfate-free. The leave-in treatment is especially great!

Agadir Argan Oil Hair Shield 450° Plus Spray Treatment – Infused with the goodness of argan oil and vitamin E, this alcohol free spray treatment is my favorite weapon against damage from heat styling! Not only does it protect my tresses from a flat iron’sintense heat but also tames my unruly, frizzy locks and leaves them silky-smooth with a healthy shine!
