Lipsticks | 2013 Editor's Favorites

2013 was good year for lipsticks, particularly if you loved yours bold, bright, and/or matte. There were new formulas to fall in love with, and plenty of new and limited shades released from my favorite formulas. This was a tough list to compile!

Lipglosses | 2013 Editor's Favorites

When it comes to lipgloss, I personally fall in love with two types:  insanely pigmented, nearly opaque colors or glimmering, dazzling, sparkling, and shimmering ones--but they have to be loaded with sparkle (and yet, they can't feel gritty!).  Over the years, while stickiness isn't a...

Highlighters & Finishing Powders | 2013 Editor's Favorites

love a good finishing powder.  I love an ethereal, lit-from-within glow.  There is a very high likelihood of me trying any new formulas or shades that hit the market--I'm just a total fiend for them. I can't wait to see what 2014 brings in this department!

Nail Lacquers | 2013 Editor's Favorites

I have to admit: this was a complete challenge. In fact, it felt unfair trying to narrow down favorites to a mere ten when I was considering around 300 different shades from the past year. As what tends to happen when I start to feel indecisive, I went for favorites across brands and weighted...
