2013. Make-Up Favorites

The second and final installment of last year's favorites is here and I've had a really hard time choosing my top, top bits. It all came down to what I've really been reaching for the most. Sure, I could've chosen 2-3 or even more lipsticks or blushes but no matter how much I love some of them, there was a definite distinction between them all. So, these will all be my ultimate 2013. Make-Up Favorites. Best BB cream of 2013. award goes to L'Occitane Sublime BB (Beauty) Cream. It provided flawless skin whilst protecting it with SPF30. The 2013. was the year during which I've found my ultimate liquid foundation for my combination skin. The best liquid foundation was undoubtedly the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation. The most beautiful, most natural foundation that I've ever tried. The best concealer was my Collistar Lifting Effect Concealer. It covers blemishes in the same efficient way that it does my dark circles. I think that the Bourjois Happy Light Ultra-Covering Concealer was also a great and often used one during the end of 2013. As for lips, 2013. was the year during which I've stepped away from lip glosses and started to use lipsticks. I'm still not a true lipstick girl but one does stand out. The best lipstick of 2013. was the Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick (18). It's a gorgeous mauve-ish hue which I found to be easy to pull-off during the day as well as at night. The best overnight lip balm was the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. It has such a unique texture and such a visible effect. Award for the best tinted lip balm goes to Korres Pomegranate lip butter. It is super moisturizing and it gives a lovely pop of color. I simply had to throw in my most used and best make-up brushes of 2013. Those are the Real Techniques Brushes – Blush Brush, Expert Face Brush and the Base Shadow Brush (Starter Set). They are all most definitely worth buying.

Ovo je drugi i posljednji post na temu proslogodisnjih beauty favorita i bilo mi je prilicno tesko odabrati one uistinu najbolje. Sve se na kraju svelo na to koje sam proizvode koristila najcesce. Naravno, mogla sam odabrati po 2-3 ili vise ruzeva za usne, pa i rumenila ali koliko god mi neki od njih bili dragi itekako postoji razlika u kontinuitetu koristenja. Sve u svemu, ovo ce biti moji ultimativni Kozmeticki Favoriti iz 2013. godine. Najbolja BB krema 2013. godine je bila L'Occitane Sublime BB (Beauty) Cream.  Ten cini skoro pa savrsenim dok ga stiti zastitnim faktorom (SPF30). Protekla godina je bila godina kada sam otkrila idealnu tecnu podlogu za svoj mjesoviti ten. Najbolja tecna podloga je svakako bila YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation. Pruza najljepsi, najprirodniji izgled i smatram da mi od svih podloga koje sam ikada isprobala bas ona najvise odgovara. Najbolji korektor je bio  Collistar Lifting Effect Concealer. Prekriva bubuljice jednako efektno kao i tamne podocnjake. Mislim da vrijedi spomenuti i Bourjois Happy Light Ultra-Covering Concealer koji me zaista ugodno iznenadio. Njega sam intenzivno koristila pred kraj prosle godine. Sto se usana tice, 2013. je godina i kada sam prilicno odstupila od sjajila a priblizila sam se ruzevima za usne. Jos uvijek nisam potpuno naviknuta na njih no jedan se dosta isticao. Najbolji ruz za usne je bio Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick (18). Fantasticne je mauve nijanse bobicastog voca koju je podjednako lako nositi tokom dana, bas kao i tokom noci. Apsolutni pobjednik u kategoriji najbolji balzam za usne (koji koristim preko noci) je Nuxe Reve de Miel. Jedinstvene je teksture i djelovanja. Najbolji balzam za usne u boji je ‘pak bio Korres Pomegranate lip butter. Intenzivno hidratizira usne dok pruza lijepu i zdravu boju. Morala sam u izbor ubaciti i kistove koje sam najcesce koristila te koji su mi ujedno i obiljezili 2013. Najbolji make-up kistovi su Real Techniques kistovi – Blush Brush, Expert Face Brush (u pojedinacnoj prodaji) i Base Shadow Brush (dio Starter Seta). Smatram kako je svaki RT kist ali i set vrijedna investicija.

Best eye shadow (and most used) of 2013. was the Maybelline Color Tattoo (On and on bronze). It was on my lids basically every day ever since I've bought it. I only alternated it with my Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint (Rich Russet). Both look lovely on and last for the entire day. The best mascara (& most worshiped) was the Revelique Define mascara. It gives extreme definition, separation and a nice flutter without looking unnatural. Best eye brow product was the Revelique Eyebrow Pencil (Brown). Perfect color match and a slightly waxy texture makes sure my brows stay in place. No highlighter or illuminator impressed me during 2013.. Hopefully, I'll find the one during 2014. Best bronzer was the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder. Not perfect but darn close to perfect. Best blush were either of my  Deborah Milano Hi-Tech blushes I own. Mostly, it was the shade Mogano (59) but by the end of 2013. it turned out to be Rosa Pesca (46). I actually have three best nail polishes (I had to cheat a little). I haven't featured this yet on the blog. It's the OPI Nail Polish (Samoan Sand) – a classic nude shade. My next pick is a beautiful grege hue – Revelique High Shine Nail Polish (Poetry Slam). So unique and I'm actually on my second bottle. The final most used nail polish of the 2013. was the Deborah Milano Gel Like (Cherry Bang). This chic deep cherry-plum nail polish always looks amazing. I am also on the second bottle of this nail polish. That wraps up my 2013. top beauty picks. Hopefully, you have enjoyed browsing through them. If there is a beauty product that marked last year for you – let me know in the comments section below.

Najbolja sjena (i ona koju sam najvise koristila) je bila Maybelline Color Tattoo (On and on bronze). Na kapcima mi se ugnijezdila otkako sam je nabavila. Nju sam naizmjenicno koristila sa Eyeshadow Paint (Rich Russet). Obje bronzane sjene djeluju krasno ali im je i trajnost izvrsna. Najbolja maskara (jedina koja me prosle godine bez problema “oborila sa nogu”) je bila Revelique Define mascara. Nevjerovatno efektno definise i razdvaja trepavice, odrzava ih uvijenim (nakon upotrebe uvijaca) i nikada ne djeluje neprirodno. Najbolji proizvod za obrve je, bez trunke sumnje, bila Revelique Olovka za obrve (Brown). Savrseno poklapanje sa bojom obrva djeluje prirodno a i njena voskasta tekstura se pobrine da budu na mjestu tokom cijelog dana. Niti jedan hajlajter niti iluminator me nije odusevio tokom 2013. pa se nadam da cu mozda ove godine naici na odgovarajuci. Najbolji bronzer je bio Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder. Nije savrsen ali je dosta blizu. Najbolje rumenilo 2013. godine jeste bilo koje iz moje kolekcije Deborah Milano Hi-Tech rumenila. Vecim dijelom godine je to bila nijansa Mogano (59) a pri kraju godine je kao favorit isplivala nijansa Rosa Pesca (46).  Odabrala sam ukupno tri najbolja laka za nokte kao favorite 2013. Prva se jos uvijek nije nasla na blogu. Rijec je o  OPI Nail Polish (Samoan Sand) – klasicnoj nude nijansi. Lak koji sam mozda najduze nosila na noktima je bio Revelique High Shine Nail Polish (Poetry Slam). Jedinstvena grege nijansa laka ciju sam drugu bocicu kupila i pocela koristiti krajem novembra. Treci favorit medju lakovima za nokte je Deborah Milano Gel Like (Cherry Bang). Tamna sljivasta nijansa svaki put osvjezi ruke. Druga bocica ovog laka je takodjer otvorena pred sami kraj prosle godine. Time smo zavrsili serijal najboljih i najvise koristenih beauty proizvoda tokom 2013. Nadam se da su vam postovi bili ugodno stivo. Ako postoji neki beauty proizvod koji je vama obiljezio proteklu godinu – javite mi u komentarima.
