Happy New Year! | 2012 Favorites ♡

Hi guys! It's crazy to think that it's already 2013 which means it's time for a rundown of my favorite products from 2012! I have to say that looking back over the past 12 months I'm kind of proud of myself! I really branched out and tried a lot of new brands and broke out of my MAC shell. I even started a Drugstore Makeup Tag! Who would've thought?

This video is kind of a long one and I'm probably talking pretty fast because I had so much ground to cover... but I hope you enjoy a look at my stand-out products of 2012:
