• 2012 was all about...


Happy New Year lovelies!
I wish each and every one of you a very happy, healthy and full of love 2013!


Looking back on the year that just passed, I think 2012 beauty-wise was all about...
  • BB Creams
I mean the European ones. About a year ago Garnier introduced the first BB cream in Greece and girls went crazy! It's affordable, suits most skin types, covers, moisturises and has spf. I personally loved it. After that many brands presented their BB creams and till today even more brands keep making BB creams. I have to say I love this "trend", keep the BB creams (a.k.a. 3-in-1 products that save me time) coming! :D

  • Dry (hair) oils
Dry oils for hair or for hair, face and body was also a big trend! They are oils but they are not oily, meaning they deeply moisturise without leaving oiliness behind. Most of them smell amazing and some of them are shimmery or help straighten hair. I love these oils for my hair and the shimmery ones are perfect for the body during summer nights.

  •  Face serums
Another "trendy" product is face serums. They deeply moisturise even the driest skin types but they have such a light and easy-to-absorb consistency that even oily skin types can use them. They also have anti-age ingredients. Great products, I love that my skin feels so soft, so baby-skin-like afterwards!

And a couple "trends" that are not that new but I did discover them during 2012 :D
  • Cream blushes
I like cream blushes as  much as I love the regular-powder- ones or more. Unfortunately, most of them don't last long if I don't set them with a powder blush but I still like them. They look very natural and they are easy to carry in my purse and re-apply during the day. Most of them can also be used as a sheer lip colour.

  • Face sprays
Another product I adore! I use them to moisturise my skin before makeup, to set my makeup afterwards, to remove the excess powder, to apply my eyeshadow wet. They are lovely after waxing or shaving and they are a miracle-in-a-bottle during hot summer days!

So, tell me! Do you agree that these were the biggest trends in the beauty blogosphere in 2012? Did you like them? What's you favourite "2012 beauty trend"?

  2. I like all the trends but I am still in search for a BB cream in my skin tone, pfff the problem of a Greek girl of colour, I hope I will find one this year.
    The oils are just more than miracle workers for my hair and body.

    Αυτήν την χρονιά είδαμε όντως πολλά νέα προϊόντα.. Μου αρέσουν απίστευτα τα κρεμώδη ρουζ αλλά η άτιμη λιπαρή επιδερμίδα μου δε μ'αφήνει να τα δοκιμάσω!!
