The very best of 2012

Hello everyone and happy last day of the year! I really hope this 2012 was a great year for you, for me it definitley was an interesting year, lots of things happened and thinking about it i wouldn't change much, as always i wish you lots of exciting things for the upcoming year!
Today i decided to share with you a selection of my favourite beauty items of 2012, it was such a challenge to pick just few goodies to show you because i love so many!

The first favourite is a solid shampoo by Lush Cosmetics, it's called Godiva and i just can't live without it!

 It lasts for a very long time and since is not liquid you cantake it with you anywhere. This is how Lush describes it:

"Named after a certain naked protestor, Godiva gets to work sending a message to your hair. Our vegan, 2 in 1 shampoo bar conditions your hair follicles with moisturizing nut oils and Shea butter to care for dry, processed locks and leave you with glossy, shiny, and softened tresses. Long used as a tonic for the hair and scalp, jasmine also perfumes your locks with an ultra-sexy fragrance with serious staying power."

The second one is also from Lush and is my favourite face scrub and mosturizing cleanser in the all world. It smell like spicy cookied dought and it even looks like it! Even if it's also a scrub, it's very gentle, i use it every other day. This is how Lush describes it:

"With maize flour, polenta and a popcorn topping, the ingredients listing makes this fresh facial cleanser look more like a festive snack! We combine these ingredients to give you a very soft scrub, leaving your skin bright, clean and smooth. It is gentle enough to use on your entire body, and has a dash of cinnamon powder to warm up winter skin"

Of course i could not leave out the best makeup remover ever! I just can't get enough of Bioderma H2O, it removes any makeup without irritating my eyes and my skin, it feels very fresh on the skin and gives you that little bit of moisture that is always good!

Definitley the star of my makeup this 2012, Kate Moss n.107, you know how much i love it! I've talked about in at least two more posts but i can't help it! It's the perfect rich oxblood deep berry color and pared  with a neutral eye makeup or some eyeliner it's perfect for fall and winter.

In the past two years i've always come back to this brush set, it's quite unexpensive, it's arround 27€ for the all thing and the quality is amazing! It comes with 5 eye brushes, 5 face brushes, a fan brush and a lipstick one. I really recomand it to anyone who wants a compact complete brush set to travel with or as a gift to someone who's just starting getting into makeup. Some beauty guru said that the fondation brush in this set is even better that the Mac one. Set by Zoeva.com

 This is a new entry in my top beauty favourites but as soos as i tried it i knew i was going to love it! This is Clinique "All about eyes" a under eyes serum that reduces puffs and dark circles, it leaves that area soft and smooth like never before. It's quite pricy but the results and crazy and immediate! 32€ from Clinique

 This oxblood violet nail polish from Essie is just a statement piece, the pigmentation is amazing, with two coats you get the most beautifull dark manicure. It lasts for a 7-8 days and the best part is that when you remove it it doesn't fades your nails not even a little bit. The applicator is wide and big so with one brush stroke you cover the all nail. The color is called "Sole Mate", 13€ from Essie.

Let's be onest, this is a classic in the beauty charts, the Naked palette by Urban Decay is to die for! I had it for a year now and i couldn't do my makeup without it. The pigmentation of the eyeshadow is incredible all the nuances are tridimentional and very particoular for a neutral palette. You can create hundreds of different looks with it and in my opinion is just the best investement. 45€ from Urban Decay.

Last but not least two of my top O.P.I favourite  nail polishes, "I spotted the lizard" from the Spiderman collection and "Malaga wine". The first one is the exact dupe for Chanel "Peridot" only with better pigmentation and duration. You only need one coat in my opinion because the nail polish it self is very thick. I love the duo crome gold and green effect. The second one is a O.P.I. classic, is this deep berry wine red, it's just very sophisticated and elegant i really love it and again the quality is to die for. 12€

I hope you liked my "Very best of 2012" i hope you will have an amazing new year's eve and i'll see you next year!!!!! Bye bye  XO

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
