Jessica Nicole in Vogue: best of 2012!!

its new years eve! the last day of 2012, so what better time to list all of the amazing products i have liked this year!!

BEAUTY

1. Face product: hands down the cover girl nature luxe foundation

so maybe its only a drugstore foundation, but it gives me the right amount of coverage without feeling cakey or like i have a thick layer of foundation on my face. an added bonus! it actually comes in a shade that matches my uber pale skin! yes!

2. Cheek product: NYX's powder blushes

they're so pigmented, a little does go along way, and they have the same quality as a mac blush for a fraction of the price, who doesn't like a bargain?

3. Eye product: i have two

1. Urban Decay's Naked Palette

this has every neutral shade you could want. its great for creating subtle to dramatic eye looks. i have slowly stopped wearing colored eyeshadows like purple and stuck to more neutral looks with a winged eye liner and this palette gives me so many options i do not get bored!

2. mac's paint pot in painterly

this eye shadow primer covers all the veins and redness on my eyes and works great on its own with eyeliner or as a base for my eyeshadow and keeps it lasting all day long! love it!!

4. Lip Product: EOS lipbalm!

an all natural chapstick that comes in super cute packaging! do i need to say more? of wait, its makes my lips so soft!

5. Skincare Product

this doesnt make my acne go away entirely but it does a really good job of taking off make-up and cleaning my skin. my skin feels soft and happy :) after i wash my face.

6. Nail Polish: this one is really hard because i am sucha nail junkie... i'd have to say... OPI's do u lilac it? and OPI's Malaga wine.

the lilac color is perfect for spring/summer and the vampyish red is a go to color for fall/winter season.

7. Hair product: Moraccan Oil

a little goes a long way... but a little makes my hair oh so soft! it keeps my ends from getting damaged by all the heat i use, and leaves a nice shine

8. Body product/Perfume: can you guess?

if you guessed daisy you guessed right! i love how fresh and light this scent is. and the cute bottle doesn't hurt either!!!

FASHION!

9. Clothing piece: hmm.. Chambray Shirts!

they go with everything!! and are so perfect for layering! how could i say no! i have maybe four or five in my closet and even though that sounds excessive! i wear them all so much!

10. Accessory: if you know me at all you know its my leopard print scarf from forever 21.

i've had it for a good three years now and its my most worn piece hands down.

11. Pair of shoes: i would have to say i've been loving the loafer trend for 2012.

my nude loafers go with so much and its a little different than your typical flat!

RANDOM

12. Favorite TV Show/Movie: ummmm... pretty little liars... no shame...

13. Favorite book:if you thought i'd say the hunger games like everyone else did you thought wrong. while that book was good, i dont think i enjoyed it as much as everyone else. my favorite book for this year was Helen of Troy by Margaret George.

i am an art and history nerd... and a avid reader of historical fiction! this book was good. margaret george did a wonderful job of portraying the trojan war through the eyes of Helen.

14. Food: this is bad but its panda express
