2013 Beauty Favourites Part Two: Hair, Nails, Skincare

Here are my Skincare, Haircare, and Nails Favourites of the year! For some of the products, like cleanser, for instance, I did not inlclude, because I haven't found a favourite really. I will only include products in here that I absolutely LOVE! So here are my most used products of 2013!

Face Moisturizer (Day and/or Night)
MAC Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel
I used this almost all year, I have replaced it with Studio Moisture cream in the winter months, which I haven't loved nearly as much. I wish MAC had a lotion that was in between these two for my winter skincare! I Love the moisture gel because it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and so soft with no residue or heaviness. All of the product absorbs into your skin and leaves a natural finish. Can be used directly before makeup application

   

MAC MINERALIZE CHARGED WATER SKIN HYDRATING MIST 
I spray this directly onto my face right after cleansing, before my moisturizer. I love this especially in the summertime because its so refreshing. I find it calms my skin after using an acne skin cleanser, or something with anti-shine or anti-oil in it since they tend to be drying sometimes. 

MAC FAST RESPONSE EYE CREAM
Omg I have never used an eye cream that makes my skin feel so amazing. This is almost a gel-like cream, that glides on so smoothly and hydrates the eye area. My skin feels like silk unlike any other product that I've used.


CLINIQUE Acne Solutions Spot Treatment Gel 
This stuff works wonders for any breakouts. It stings when first applied, and creates a bit of a coating over the blemish. It appears very shiny, but if you apply a moisturizer or makeup over top, it disappears.  This stuff works SO well !!! Blemishes clear up 1-2 full days sooner than without using it.


LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub
This is a bit messy because its loose, but I use it over the sink before I wash my face. It gets all dry skin off the lips, but gentle enough that you can apply lip colour afterwards with no irritation.

THE BODY SHOP COCONUT MILK BODY LOTION
This is always in my bathroom, especially in the summertime for quick moisturizing without putting on thick body butter or something heavy when its hot outside. 


ST. IVES Coconut Milk & Orchid Extract Lotion
This is also a quick, hydrating lotion that absorbs quickly, hydrates the skin and leaves no residue. Awesome for in the morning before putting on your clothes because it dries quickly!



BURT'S BEES Radiance Body Lotion
This is one of the products in my collection that I will always own, and always repurchase. It gives the skin a stunning sheen, it looks so healthy and glowing without appearing shimmery. I think that the smell is a love or hate scent. Personally, I absolutely LOVE the smell of it, I think it smells very clean and fresh!!





FAKE BAKE
60 Minute Self-Tan Liquid 
This tanner is the best I've ever used... and I've used ALOT! lol. Using the mitt, I can apply a full body tan in less than 5 minutes. The liquid absorbs so quickly and evenly. It does have a colour guide, which means you will get instant colour before the tan fully develops, and then when you shower, the color guide will rinse off, and leave behind your new golden tan! It has a green undertone, so there is absolutely NO orange colour, very natural looking!


SHAMPOO
J BEVERLY HILLS Blonde Neutralizing Shampoo
I was fully blonde most of 2013, and now, being ombre, my ends are still blonde! It is a deep purple colour, and when left on the hair over 5 minutes, It acts as a quick toner, to cut brassiness in the hair. This product is also all natural!


CONDITIONER 
KEVIN MURPHY Luxury Rinse
This makes my hair feel so soft and manageable. It leaves no residue and I can still layer my styling products without my hair feeling heavy. Awesome product.




L'OREAL Thermo Repair Milk
This is a light cream that I apply to my hair every few shampoos, as it is supposed to stay in the hair up to 5 shampoos. Using this I notice that my ends do not get as dry as quickly from blowdriers and curling irons as when I'm not using it. Plus it smells amazing 




MOROCCANOIL 
These two products will forever be a part of my collection. I fully believe in, and stand behing these products, as well as recommend them to many of my clients. These products have changed my hair and scalp, and have such a beautiful scent. If you have heard about these, and have not tried them because you werent sure, or the price was high, GO GET THEM! I used the oil treatment in wet and dry hair, every single day, and one bottle lasts me almost a year. The mask I use around once per week, and One 200ml tub will last me almost one year as well. AMAZING 


HAIRSPRAY
Label.M Extreme Hold Hairspray
I LOVE the finish and hold of this spray, it smells SO good and lasts in the hair all day


NAIL COLOURS
OPI Elephantastic pink, Cajun Shrimp, and Charged Up Cherry


CHINA GLAZE 
Sun of a Peach, Flip Flip Fantasy, and Top Coat(super glossy)
