Best of 2013!

Heyy, I wasn't able to make much in the latter part of the year since it was that time of the year for Long Exams and passing of requirements. *long siggggghhhhh* So instead of making reviews I decided to make the best of 2013! These are mostly products that I use everyday :)
Note: Photos belong to their respective owners - taken from google

In no particular order:

1.  Etude Proof 10 eye primer
     
     This is by far the best primer I've used! I have extremely oily eyelids so every time I use eyeshadow it creases within the hour but with this under, my eyeshadow stays for the whole night, even when I'm about to take it off. The shadows are also more pigmented when I use it with this. I also use this everyday for my eyeliner (which would also make it in this list)


2.  TheBalm Balm Shelter tinted moisturizer
My everyday moisturizer, it has SPF 18 which is good but since I live in a tropical country I use this with sunblock. Coverage is light but if layered could be medium, it also does not cake on my face. Some say this is even better than Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer but I have yet to try that one. For less than 1000php 65 mL


3.Snoe Poudre extraordinaire
Love this! Love that it hides my pores. I can use this with or without foundation and I'd still achieve a polished look.


4. Etude House Drawing eyebrow pencil
Easy application, angled, good staying power. I used this when I was just starting out to fix my eyebrows and I still use it until now.


5. Nyx jumbo pen - Yogurt
What is a best's list without a nyx jumbo pen? I use this for my waterline and for the corner of my eyes. Keeps me looking awake the next day when I haven't slept through the night.


6. TheBalm Sexy Mama
This is a staple for me. I use this for touch ups whilst in school.


7. Clinique Chubby Sticks Intense
Another staple! Color pay off of a lipstick but as moisturizing as a lip balm. I already have this in Caramel, Chili and Grape and I'm planning to get more!

8. Yves Rocher Pore Clearing Mask 
  I use this as a spot treatment for when I have breakouts and for my case it usually takes 2 days for them to fully flatten and disappear.


9 - 10. Maybelline Rocketeer and the Falsies
Does not clump my eyelashes and when used with the Falsies it gives my lifeless sparse eyelashes the illusion of full lashes (after a few coats of course)


 11. The Body Shop Honey Bronzing Powder
Love that these are made from beeswax and marula oil and that these are very pigmented and matte. Staying power is average but I can't really find anything that stays on my extremely oily skin so I'm not complaining.

12. Yves Rocher Bath Gel - Jardins du Monde
I love this scent! Love the packaging and the size of it. Price is also reasonable in the Philippines. The scent also lasts me a few hours.

13. Maybelline Hyperglossy
By far the most pigmented and lasting eyeliner I've tried at its price point! Used up a whole bottle and I've used it everyday since July. Tip is very fine, precision is easily achieved.

14. TheBalm Betty Lou Manizer
Most people hate this or prefer the Mary Lou version but I love that this warms up my skin even more. I get that healthy skin look with this, for the people who can't work with this use a big fan brush for a sheer effect. The only complain about this is that it's easy to break. :(

15. Shiseido The Makeup Smoothing Foundation
Love the case! but more than that I love that it smooths out my bumps well. I have to stop myself from touching my face because it feels that smooth. Hides my flaws well.

16. Za 2-way cake foundation
The only foundation that captures my skin color PERFECTLY. I am a BO 10 here and let me tell you how hard it is to find a foundation that yellow. Staying power is above average.


17. Clinique Pressed Powder - Translucent
Packaging is beautiful. Powder is really fine and smooth I use this a lot and it does not look cakey even though I pile this up on my face.

Well these are all the products that I could remember when I have products to share again I'll probably collect them first.
