I know this post is BEYOND late but just bear with me ok? Can you believe that 2013 is over? In this post I'm going to be naming my favorites of the entire year of 2013, in other words I highly recommend all these products that I'm going to be listing here. I hope all of you do this tag because I love reading these.... And yeah, let's get started!
PS: For my movies/music/ TV shows and all those random ones, I tried my best to choose things that came out this year so that's why I didn't mention some other ones that I've praised in past posts.

BEAUTY
1. Face product
1. Face product
My favorite face product is most definitely, without a doubt the Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Barcelona. This is a rather pricey foundation ($44) but I have to say it's worth every penny. It is literally my perfect shade and it has amazing coverage, it's definitely buildable. You don't need to wear concealer with this because of the amazing coverage. A little amount of this goes a long way so it'll last you awhile. If you have oily skin then I suggest trying out the Nars Sheer Matte, it's the same thing but for oily skin. I love this foundation and I will most definitely repurchase it, regardless of the price. I made a post on the Sheer Glow a long time ago!
2. Cheek product
I've used so many different bronzers and I've found that a lot of them don't tend to show on my skin tone. I'm not very dark, I'm considered a Medium skin tone but still. Benefit Hoola was a complete waste of money for me but surprisingly one bronzer that worked is the NYC Sun 2 Sun Powder. I've hit pan on it which means I use it a lot.
As for blush my Nars Exhibit A is my baby. I love this product so so much. It's so pigmented and you only need a little bit of product to make this work. It gives you a sort of sunburnt effect but I promos you it looks amazing.

3. Eye product
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to name two products for this.... I'm in love with my Naked 2 palette. I find myself reaching for it constantly whether it's for a casual day out or going out. The shadows are so pigmented and I love it. You should definitely check it out!
Primer wise I'm in love with the Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer, I love it so much that I don't even want to try any other one. It makes my eyeshadow look amazing and it stays on for the entire day. It's a bit pricey for just a primer but I think it's worth it.

Another eye product is the Benefit They're Real mascara... Holy lashes! Seriously, this product is amazing, it lasts all days and it gives you length and volume. The only problem is it is quite hard to take off but if you use a make up remover you'll be able to take it off quickly!
4. Lip Product
I am in love with chubby sticks. I haven't tried out the Revlon ones yet but so far I've loved the Clinique ones and the Victoria's Secret ones. I found that chubby sticks last a long time and are very moisturizing. They're also very easy to reapply.
5. Skincare Product
This comes as no shock to anyone but I had to choose my St Ives Apricot Scrub. I ran out of the bigger bottle so I'm just using my travel size because I'm to lazy to run to the store... Oops. I love this product so much, you can actually see the difference after a few uses. It prevents blemishes and blackheads.
6. Nail Polish
I barely use any nail polish so I don't have a favorite, sorry!
7. Hair product
The Batiste Dry Shampoo has been a saver of mine various times so I had to choose it. I love the smell of it, the consistency. I use a hint of brunette because I'm a brunette for the most part and I hate how some dry shampoos leave white residue behind. I think I've gone through like 5 bottles of this product throughout this year. I just really like it.
For shampoo and conditioner I've been in love with the L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Shampoo & Conditioner.

8. Body product/Perfume
My favorite perfume would have to be Daisy by Marc Jacobs, I made a post on this a long time ago. I love this scent, I like how it's an appropriate scent for any occasion. It's sweet and subtle, I'm not going to describe the scent because I'm terrible at that but you can visit the Sephora website to find out the notes and all that good stuff!
FASHION

9. Clothing piece
I'm gonna have to go with my inner common white girl and say Victoria's Secret yoga pants. I mean, they're so comfy and they match anything.
10. Accessory
My favorite accessory this year has been watches, I've been using this chocolate/bronze colored ones by Style & Co. that I got at Macy's a lot. I originally wanted to get one from Marc Jacobs that looked similar, it didn't have the little rocks around it but I settled for this one because there was about a $300 difference! It matches all my outfits and I've gotten so many compliments on it... I use others one as well but this would probably be my favorite.
11. Pair of shoes
I never thought I'd like these shoes from Charlotte Russe as much as I did. They're so comfy and they look cute with anything. I was going to get Toms but I couldn't find them anywhere so I got the next best thing.

12. Favorite TV Show
This is where it's going to get tough... I can't pick just one TV show because I watch so many and that wouldn't be fair to them... So I'm going to do a top 4 TV shows!
1. Teen Wolf. If you've read any of my favorites posts then you know that I'm in love with this show. I am beyond hooked. I find myself rewatching episodes over and over and over again. I can honestly say I've rewatched the entire thing about 3 times and yes, that is a lot.
2. American Horror Story. This show is pretty scary for the most part but once you get over the fact that it's creepy/scary then you get so hooked. I don't know what it is about this show but it's just so interesting, you just wanna keep watching to know what's gonna happen.
3. Heroes. Heroes is definitely one of my favorite TV shows of all time, it's so interesting... You can't just watch one episode, it's THAT good. And who doesn't love Milo Ventimiglia?
4. Friends. I can't make a favorites post without Friends. This is another one of my favorite TV shows of all time. And who needs friends when you have Friends?
13. Movie
Once again I'm gonna have to do a top 5. PS: Click on the name of the movie for the trailer.
14. Favorite book
My favorite book this year would probably by Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer. This is the non fiction story of Christopher McCandless, a man who left every behind to explore the world. It's such an inspiring story and it gives me all sorts of feelings. I love it so much and you should definitely either watch the movie or read the book because they're both amazing.
I have to add all of the Hunger Games books to my favorites as well because I couldn't stop flipping through it until I was done. Oh yeah, by the way I am #teampeeta for the win!
15. Food
16. Beverage
Coconut water has been my favorite beverage this year. I began liking it this year and I'm so glad that I gave it a chance. It's hydrating and also really good for you!
Once again, I'm going to cheat and do a top 10 rather than just one. How do you expect me to just pick one song for 365 days?
Does music video land under favorite song category? I don't know but I have to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that all of the music videos by The Neighbourhood are amazing and have a message behind them. They're planned out so well and they really impact you. Go check them out. Som of my favorites include Let It Go, Afraid and Female Robbery. By the way in the video of Female Robbery she's speaking french and she says the exact opposite of everything written in the subtitles. Oh yeah and their music is amazing and they're one of my favorite bands this year. I love going to songmeanings.com and figuring out the meaning behind their songs. And, Jesse Rutherford is just so dreamy...
1. Counting Stars- One Republic
2. Ribs- Lorde
3. What Now- Rihanna
4. Just Another Girl- The Killers
5. Let It Go- The Neighbourhood
