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!
