Best Beauty Products of 2013

So, I recently uploaded a video of my favorite beauty items of 2013. All the products were new to me in 2013 except for one. 

What were your favorites?

March Empties

Sorry I have been slacking on here. I am hoping to get at least one or two posts up a week from now on. =)

On to my empties!

Garnier Skin Renew Anti Dark Circle Rollerball 

This is probably one of my all time favorite products. I have been using it for years and always try to have an extra on hand just in case. This is the first thing I use in the morning because it really helps depuff and awaken my eyes.

MAC Mineralized Skin Finish

I really liked using this to set my makeup. It gives you a matte look without making your skin look dull.  After I go through some more face powders in my collection I will definitely be repurchasing this.

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Detoxifying Facial Cleanser

I really enjoyed the way this made my skin feel. The menthol in it gives your skin a really clean and refreshed feel. I tried repurchasing it when I ran out but the store didn't have it so I picked up another one from this line. 

Murad Anti-Aging Moisturizer

I received a sample of this when I had a facial. I liked it a lot. I'm not sure of the anti-aging effects but I did like how hydrating it was. It's a little pricey but Murad has good quality products.

Those are my empties for the month of March. I hope you enjoyed them. 

What products did you finish in March?

Deep Cleaning your Makeup Brushes

This is how I deep clean my makeup brushes. If you do it properly they will last a long time. Many of my MAC brushes are 10 years old and still look new.

Let me know if you try this. =)

Mac Brush Cleanser + Tip

I really like, but then again I have nothing to compare it to since it’s the only brush cleanser I have used. =) I know some people think it’s expensive ($14), but it works well. If you use my tip you won’t waste a lot of the cleanser. (A complaint I have heard and use to make myself.) 

The best way to use it is to transfer it to a travel size spray bottle. This allows you to pinpoint the cleanser on your brush and you are using a lot less product. I swear my bottle lasts twice as long now. I may try some others in the future but it’s hard when I really like the product I have been using for years. =)

Grade: A-
