Best of 2012



Instead of doing my normal monthly favorites, I decided this time to jump on the beauty bloggin' bandwagon and do a "Best of 2012" post. I've been enjoying reading these posts on other blogs so much that I wanted to put in my two cents. In order for products to make this list they had to meet a few requirements, mainly that I had used them for at least a season or the majority of the year, and that I had discovered them in 2012. If I had included the new products I discovered just in December, this list would probably be double the length! It was actually quite interesting to go through my old posts and see the progression of products that I used over the year. Who know, it might be fun to see if any of your favorites made my list as well!

  6. How is the benefit porefessional in terms of actual pore coverage? Do you find it minimizes their appearance?
