10 Beauty Essentials That You Need To Own in 2012!

Happy Friday, Glamazons. We all know the drill. It’s a new year, so we all have new goals and aspirations that can help make us a glam and fab as possible on the inside and outside. I don’t know about you, but I’ve already created my beauty covet list for 2012 that can help me at least satisfy being glam on the outside. Check it out!



Temptu Airbrush Makeup Kit

I know, I know there’s no such thing as perfection but if I can get close to it, then why not try? I’m a makeup addict so a system that allows me to spray myself to golden perfection is totes a lust-worthy item.

Huetiful Hair Steamer

I have thick, curly hair and moisture is its BFF, so a hair steamer is a MUST! The Huetiful looks like a normal hooded hairdryer, but it’s far more complex. It restores moisture up to 5x more than deep conditioners or oil treatments alone by producing steam that coats every strand of hair.

Conair Massaging Foot Spa

Our feet take a beating almost every day and one of my bi-weekly pleasures has always been getting a relaxing pedicure. Well, I’m becoming more conscious of how I spend money this year so an investment like an at-home foot spa is economical and it gives you the perk of being able to soak your feet in the comfort of your own home.

Hello Kitty Noir 5-Piece Brush Set

It started with a Hello Kitty notebook that I used in math class back in the day and escalated into a weird adult fetish with this cat/girl (It’s so weird how they define her)! I’ve copped just about every MAC collection and I even have her on my debit card. So, I might as well complete the glammy puzzle with a brush set!

Bliss Pore-Fector Gadget

My facial skin is soooo complex! One day it’s a little dry, the next it’s super-oily and on a good day, it’s just right. It’s time to get things under control! Bliss has a really cute dual-action device that is great for exfoliating skin and gently massaging on products called the Pore-Fector. The name alone makes me want it!

SensatioNail DIY Gel Nail System

Glamazon Andrea gave you the tea on this drool-worthy delight for your nails, and I’ve officially added it to my covet list. They have a Starter Kit ($50) available with everything you need to create up to 10 gel manicures.

Carol’s Daughter Shea Souffle, Almond Cookie

The softer the skin, the healthier it is. The more hydrated the skin, the healthier it is. This product does all of the above and it smells good, too! I want it. Need it. Gotta have it! Enough said.

Overnight Eye Cream

I’ve always heard my fellow Glamazons gush over the wonders that a good overnight eye cream can work, and I never felt like I needed them. That is until I walked into work one day feeling gorge after only getting a few hours of sleep (because us writers are always on deadline)! My bubble burst when someone commented that I looked “tired around the eyes.” After a little examination, I did notice some puffiness around my eye, hence this item making the list!

Bare Escentuals bareMinerals ‘Spotlight On: Big & Bright Eyeliner’ Kit

I know for some this might seem like a “duh” moment but not everyone wears black eyeliner. I have friends who only wear brown liner and others who swear by wearing none at all. While I’m all for expressing personal style, 2012 will be a year of bold eye. Cat-eyed liner and full brows will run the world this year. Mark my words!

Orange Lipstick You already know that I plan to add more color into my lipstick palette and one of the main colors that will totes be hot for Spring 2012 and beyond is orange. It exudes “look-at-me-now” prettiness with a dash of flirty fun.

What are you beauty must-haves for 2012, Glamazons? Are there any products that you plan to ditch?

Ciao Bellas,

Glamazon Margo
