I may be a little late to the game on this one - but I've finally compiled my 2013 Beauty Favorites. Better late than never, am I right?
Although this isn't the largest selection of products, these are the few that really stood out to me this year! These six make-up products have seen me through thick and thin during 2013.

| L-R: Clinique Bountiful Blush, Burberry Nude Radiance, NARS Penny Lane, Laura Mercier Grey Pearl |
This lipstick is hands down my favorite lipstick of all time. It's the perfect MLBB shade, giving a light, glossy coverage to the lips. It's described as a 'sheer dusty rose', which is a perfect description of the shade, minus the word sheer. Although this formulation is sheerer than most, it still covers the lips with the dusty rose shade, and is higher coverage than most of the other Chubby Sticks I own. I love this lipstick so much, I'm already on my second tube - all within one year, which is unheard of for me!
I've proclaimed my love for all things Burberry Beauty many times on this blog, and this highlighter is no exception. A light, natural highlighter that doesn't look like you've gone overboard (like so many others - *cough* Dior Amber Diamond *cough*). I've even hit pan on this already, as it's the highlighter I always reach for when I choose to use one! This shade in particular is more pink-toned, which I find looks more natural than gold-toned highlighters do. Although it's quite pricey, I really feel like you get what you pay for with Burberry Beauty products!
NARS Cream Blush in Penny Lane
This is my all-time favorite blush, and sadly, it's being discontinued! It's a beautiful nude-pink shade that blends into the skin seamlessly and truly looks like a perfect flush. It's also super long-lasting, which adds 1000 points in my book, as most blushers fade within a few short hours!
This grey-tinged taupe cream eyeshadow stick is flawless. It's a perfect everyday shade, that can be worn to the office, or can be built up and worn on an evening out, as well. It also stays ALL DAY. This has lasted 12+ hours on me, even without a primer (which is a major necessity for my oily lids, otherwise). Overall, you can't go wrong with this formulation or this shade!
A cult favorite, no doubt, but this brow powder is what dreams are made of! Ever since purchasing this, I haven't used anything else. The long-lasting powder, and the perfect shade is something that I never plan to be without in the future. I use the lighter of the two shades in this duo, and use a MAC 266 for perfect brows!
Although I trust Anastasia for the perfect brow shade, MAC is my go-to for making them last even longer. The Clear Brow Set puts my brows in place for the rest of the day with one sweep of the wand. As you can see, my brow gel is very much loved, and I'm in dire need of a new one! However, I don't think I'm going to stray from the MAC Brow Set in future (after I finish up my other brow gels, of course).
What were your favorites this year? Have you tried any of mine?
