Makeup & Skincare favorites of 2012!

Despite almost having no time due to overseas relocation and bloodily turned 25  in 2012, I started investing a lot in what I use on my face, especially skincare. 

The list below represents the best I have used in terms of makeup and skincare throughout the year after a LONG mental battle. As you can imagine, I do not limit my products into just drugstore or high end. As long as they work great with my normal-dry mildly combination skin and complexion, I continue to use them.

Without further ado, here goes my winners for makeup & skincare products for 2012!
