Whew! Where do I even begin?

2013 has been one hell of a year… and I really do mean it. It’s opened my eyes and made me think about things and in some ways has helped me decide how I want to go forward. After all, 2014 is a brand new year!

But you know what? This post isn’t about me. I’ve had my say. It’s for all of you.

I doubt I’d have gotten anywhere this year without all your interactions, your input and your questions. So for all of you who have joined me on this blogging journey in 2013, THANK YOU!

Here are YOUR Top 3 favourite posts in each month of 2013. Did you miss any or were you here with us contributing to the numbers? 🙂

Been naughty? Brush on some good karma with Benefit Hervana Blush

December 30, 2013 Paris B 24 Comments

There are some posts you want to write and you try and start, over and over but it never gets published. This has been one such post/review in making. It’s taken me 2 years. 2 freaking years to tell you about a blush! Man, I better get lots of good karma after this! 😀

I bought the Benefit Hervana Box of Powder Blush over 2 years ago and although it took me a while to warm up to it, I actually really like it. I picked this as one of the 5 light pink blushes you can consider if you’re in the market for one because it does give the skin a very pretty flush of pink.

And really, who can pass up a chance for some good karma eh? 😀

With all the hurly burly of the festive season culminating in Christmas last week and then the New Year next week, It almost feels like the year is speeding up as we draw to a close. Here were some of my highlights of the week as seen on Instagram.

At this time of the year, I don’t feel very verbose. Keep it short and sweet yes? Do let me know how your festivities went, and here’s the little stories behind my photos that are just too long or too tiring to type out on a phone 😀

Picking out A Baker’s Dozen of the Best Things of 2013 (and share yours too!)

best of 2013

If you didn’t realise, the brand new year is exactly 7 days after Christmas Day and the anticipation and momentum of the festive period just keeps rolling on to that last stretch to the year. With many people usually taking time off work and just slowing down in general, it is a good time to reflect on the past year and pick out the highlights.

I don’t like doing “Best of (products)” generally. I prefer taking a more macro outlook at the year that’s past so here are my slightly different “Best of” categories, some of which of course, include beauty picks 🙂 You are most welcome to share yours too because it’s always nice to share in and take part in others’ highlights of the year.

Here we go! My Baker’s Dozen 🙂
