The Year that was: 2012 Round up!

Ah, posting after a long time! Feels good. ^_^ This post had to go up, it was all the things this year has been for me makeup wise!
It's a big mash up of things but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

First of all let me wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sweety wants to wish you too! Sweety was Spartacus/ Handsome the turtle but ever since we found out out he would rather be a she, she's Sweety now! XD


Okay, now lets start with the year that was! 


For me 2012 was all about the Corals, Oranges and Peaches! The whole spectrum! Check out:
Coral/ Orange lipsticks:

There are so many more that I haven't even reviewed! I mean look at that heap in the picture. Lol! But that's what 2013 is for right?


2012 was the year of the London Olympics and the first time I won a giveaway, this one was by Sleek Makeup to win their 2012 collection!


I used a lot of Korean makeup this year! And loved all of it. I still have some from my last haul to try.
What I tried so far:

The Year I did Something for a Good Cause
I used my makeup to show the world what women go through in India. This was for a one minute movie by Sophia College girls for Population First- Laadli


Now for my 2012 Favourite Products!


I loved a lot of eye makeup products this year but these were just amazing! A cut above the rest.
Yanqina's pen eyeliner gave me so much precision, Faces Eye Magic Transforming gel was a perfect primer! Coastal Scents 88 palette gave me a world of colour to experiment with initially and the Maybelline Color Tattoos made awesome bases for my eye looks. 


I have created quite a collection of lip makeup but some products just blew me away! Colorbar's Velvet Matte lipsticks come in such an array of colours and are so affordable! 
2012 was the year I picked up my first MAC lipstick, that was Viva Glam Nicki... Now I have 4 of them! They're just amazing! See Sheer being my fave and Viva Glam 1 my newest addition, yesterday! 
And last but not the least the Fresh Cherry Lip Tint by Etude House is the perfect product for when you don't want lipstick but still want colour!


There were some nail paints I used consistently in 2012 and they were mostly NYX polishes. My absolute favourite go to polish being NYX Surf. I wore it with polka dots and glitter polish and all kinds of other ways! I wore NYX Hot Coral a lot too, my fave was this look with gold sequins. ^_^
I finally found flakie polishes in NYX, this is Pink Avenue!
My fave red polish was Ulta 3's Pepper Pot, perfect for my skin. NYX Multi Glitter was my fave glitter polish especially over pastels and whites with Innisfree's Libra taking over that spot as soon as I tried it on another favourite, Miss Claire's hot pink!

And those were my favourite products of the year 2012! Hope you liked it, be sure that I will bring you more awesome reviews and tutorials in the coming year!
I'm sorry this post seems a bit rushed... It is. >.<
Anyway, Happy New Year all! Enjoy and be safe! See you next year.
