Favorite Products of 2013

Well, my little blog is 6 months old as of December, so while I don't have a whole ton of products that I loved for 2013, I do have some good ones. These are some products that I loved so much during 2013 that I repurchased them (some multiple times!)

Olay Fresh Effects Cleansing Wipes

I was totally in love with my Love & Beauty ones from Forever 21, so the fact that these have become my new go-to is pretty impressive. They're wet enough, take off makeup wonderfully, and are just a little bit textured. They're not too hard on my sensitive skin but still get the job done!

Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Repair Balm

I picked this up on a whim at Ulta, and I love it so much. It keeps my feet (and hands) soft and moisturized without being greasy or thick. Plus, it has great natural ingredients in it!

St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub

Even though this doesn't work as well as it did when I first started using it, I'd highly recommend it. It's gentle and has natural ingredients but still does it's job. I like how clean my skin feels after using it.


Victoria's Secret Body Splash in Fresh & Clean

My favorite summer scent! I like that it's girly, but not overwhelmingly so. A little floral, a little fresh and totally me!

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Powder

While these two aren't my holy grail products, I am currently on my third bottle, and they've done really well for me. I might step up to a more full-coverage foundation when I run out of these, but until then, I like they way they feel, the way they blend into my skin, and the color match.

Don't forget to come back on Wednesday - I'm talking 2014 resolutions!

Five Products I've Emptied

It's time for another products I've emptied post! Let's see what I've used up recently:

1. Revlon Nearly Naked Powder in Fair

I had never tried a non-translucent powder until this one, and I love it. When used with the foundation, it gives me the perfect combination of warmth and that little bit of extra coverage I need. I hit pan on this pretty quickly, but it also lasted for a really long time afterwards. I was very impressed!

2. Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Ivory

I really love this foundation. I don't like full coverage foundations, and this is the perfect mix of light coverage while still making my skin look flawless. I'm always impressed when I look at myself after I've put this on. Oh, and I've already repurchased (and use daily) both this and the powder.

3. Elf Makeup Mist & Set

I've raved about this before, and I will rave again. It's literally $3 and it works better for me than the Urban Decay All-Nighter. I never want to put on makeup without it. I'm already halfway through my second bottle.

4. Victoria's Secret Pink Body Mist in Fresh & Clean

After rediscovering my love for this body mist this summer, I finally made it through my original travel-sized bottle of it. I love it. It's not overwhelming, and it's not super girly, so it's perfect for me. I'm already more than halfway through a second travel bottle, and I have a regular bottle of it waiting for me. Clearly, I'm obsessed.

5. TRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

Another thing I've had forever and just recently got around to finishing. This wasn't a bad product, but it wasn't amazing either. Compared to the one I'm using now (the Suave version), it doesn't smell as good, BUT it does make my hair feel cleaner when it's oily. I think this is a better dry shampoo for cleaning, but the Suave is a better one for volume and texture.

So that's everything for this round! Anything you've finished recently?
