Favourites | 2012

2012 has nearly come to an end so I decided to do my overall 2012 beauty, fashion and random favourites :)

BEAUTY
1. Face product

I recently discovered the 'Miracle Matte Pressed Powder' by 17 and find it very good. Its got a good amount of coverage and gives my face the perfect matte finish without being too matte. 

2. Cheek product

I have been loving lipstick as a blush recently because its so easy and then your lips and cheeks have the same tones :) so i have been loving MUA Shade 1 for this (old shade 1 because they recently updated there range - its basically a dark pinky red)

3. Eye product

I never really wear eye shadow and havent really found my perfect mascara yet, but the mascara i have been using is the Maybelline 'Great Lash' in very black and find it does the job well

4. Lip Product

As I said for my favourite cheek product, I have been loving MUA's (old) Shade 1. I can wear it full on red or use it more of a lip stain and make it more of a pink.

5. Skincare Product

I use E45 moisturising lotion and its not the best for my face but it is what i have and is great for the rest of my body. 

6. Nail Polish

I don't really wear a lot of nail polish and the one i chose isn't really a yearly favourite but i love it so much i had to include it! It is O.P.I's Skyfall and it is such a pretty autumn/winter colour! I love James Bond and Skyfall was definitely one of the best so to remember it and to celebrate 50 years I got Skyfall and the Bondettes mini set (doing whole other post about them later).

7. Hair product

My hair is a NIGHTMARE! It is curly but not nice and curly and well behaved. No. Its frizzy and fluffy and I can never wear it down because it always has an irritating kink in it but I won't straighten it because I dont like my hair straight :L so as you can tell im quite fussy but to try to tame my mane i weirdly use hair gel (L'Oreal Studio Mineral Control - Normal Strength). Now some of you might think ew but I put it on after washing my hair while its damp and then i go to sleep with wet hair, wake up and it doesn't feel like there is hair gel in it at all.

8. Body product/Perfume

Weirdly I dont own any perfumes... I have those little samples and I really like Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck - I think it smells so good! but it hasn't been out all that long so another I have loved this year has been Body Shop's Love, etc...

FASHION
9. 
Favourite clothing piece 

My favourite clothing piece this year was difficult to choose but I decided on my trusty Levi shorts. I got them in the summer but got hell of a lot of use out of them!

10. Accessory

I dont really wear many accessories but I wear earrings most days and my nanny (grandma) gave me her old pearl earrings and i wear those the most :)

11. Pair of shoes

The shoes I have got the most wear out of this year have been my dorothy perkins broguey biker boot things. I love these and have practically worn them to death!

RANDOM
12. Favourite TV Show

By far this years favourite has got to be Pretty Little Liars!

13. Favourite Movie

I have so many I have seen this year that havent necessarily come out this year so im just going to list some of them:
-Skyfall (AMAZING!!)
-LOL
-The Vow
-The Last Song
-Monte Carlo
-21 Jump Street
-Charlie St Cloud

13. Favourite Book

Hunger Games - all of them!

14. 
Favourite Food

Chinese crispy duck!

15. Favourite Beverage

Appletizer

16. Favourite Song/Singer

Ed Sheeran

Ok so that is my 2012 favourites done. It feels strange that it is nearly the end... Kind of sad :( but this year has not been the best so I am looking forward to welcoming the new year - I will be doing my GCSE's which is exciting and terrifying and then going into sixth form :D 


Anyway love you all and speak in 2013!
