Favourite Beauty Products of 2013

Soooo, 2013 is now over and I guess it's time for drawing a thick and meaningful line and showing you the products I've been loving through 2013.
Without further ado, let's get started!
1. Oriflame Essentials. Hydrating Face Mask
I've been having some dry spots on my face which are so annoying so I bought myself this hydrating face mask. It was really cheap and I couldn't have expected that it would be of good quality and help for my skin. But it worked! It has some multi-vitamin complex and echinacea which leaves a good lifting and hydrating effect after you rinse it off.  
2. Maybelline. Dream Fresh BB Cream
I've alwys been looking for some BB cream that would make my face seem healthy, moisturised and fresh. I can tell you that this one is perfect for my skin. It's not greasy and it makes your skin soft and hydrated for good 7 or 8 hours. One thing that I don't really like about this product is that it's too liquidy.
3. Gosh. Powder Brush 
This brush id just all you need in order to smoothly apply your powder. It's soft nylon hair and hypoallergenic. I think I'm going to buy other brushes by Gosh cos' this one is amazing.
4. Bourjois. Compact Powder. 71 Beige clair 
In winter times my skin becomes as pale as snow outside so this powder shade is just a must. It stays for so long and prevents my skin from turning into an oily mess.  Moreover, it's soft and affordable.

5. Avon. Diamond Sparkle Face Pearls 
 I bought that not so long ago but I've loved it ever since. This highlighter is far much better than the one by Mary Kay. I think it'll last me forever!

6. Bourjois Blush. 11 Brun Illusion 
 When I bought this blush, my cousin (who came around at that time) loved it so much that she told that she'd still this blush when I'd fall asleep! Thank God she didn't haha! This blush has been my favourite not only because it is really pigmented but also because of the smell it has. It smell like chocolate and I don't know how it happened that I haven't eaten it up already.

7. Mary Kay Eyebrow Pencil in Soft Black
 This is an oldy in my make-up collection but is still a perfect shade for any haircolor I have.

8.  Avon Glimmerstick Cosmic. Eyeliner in Midnight Sky
It is the first sparkly eyeliner I'm having and I bought that thinking that if it didn't suite me I'd give it to my friend. It is a blue-purplish sparkly colour and it was on sale in Avon when I bought it (something around 3 Euros, I believe).


 9. L'Oreal Color Infaillible. 021 Sahara Treasure  
It's a nice golden shimmery colour eyeshadow which is really easy to apply using your fingers. Even my mom loved its consistency. She even asked me to buy the same one for her (which she never does).


10. Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Mascara. 01 Noir
 It is my favourite mascara of all times. I've already bought the third one. Usually I tend to try different mascaras in search for the perfect one. I stopped searching for it when I bought this super volumizing mascara a year ago. The mascara is easy to apply with the brush like that. Moreover, it stays for good 10 hours, I promise you.

11. Syoss Volume Lift Mousse
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Syoss shampoos because they made my hair look greasy and thin. But speaking about this hair product I can leave nothing but a good review. It really does its job in volumizing. I apply it before drying my hair and just dry it upside down. The volumizing effect is just humongous. Now I really want to try their dry shampoo volumizing product.
12. Nina Ricci Fantasy 
Frankly speaking, I prefer more fresh and flower like fragrances but this sweety and childish one is so addictive. I personally think it's purposeless to discribe a sent because it'd be different to each person. I wear it when I'm going to spend time with friends or go to a party because I feel like it gives me energy and inspiration. Silly, I know, but true.
This is it for my favourite beauty products of 2013. I'd be really glad to hear about your favourite products of last year. Happy New Year! I wish you all the happiness and joy in 2014!

Love, Christina
