Lipglossiping 2012 roundup

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for year-in-review posts. Not necessarily of the “what I did this year,” variety, but certainly of the “what I loved this year,” kind.

While I skip most monthly roundups, I can’t get enough of the yearly ones. Whether the roundups are of a blogger’s favourite products, favourite posts, or favourite blogs, my brain gets into “gotta catch ‘em all” mode and just gobbles them up. If it’s something so standout that you singled it out over an entire year’s worth of distractions, it has to be worth a second look, you know?

A few year-end beauty roundups that are well worth a read:

    Loving the best if 2012 posts too, I can't get enough! I'm dying to try so many new things. Might I say Joeys space was makeup porn :-) oh and I need to try the Korres liquid lipsticks!

    Haha, I know what you mean! Post-holiday wishlists: the only lists longer than pre-holiday ones :p

    Of course, darling! I loved your Top 100 Picks — had it open in my browser for ages. What a gorgeous post! ;)

    Isn't it always? ;o)

    The Korres lipstick is being phased out if I'm not mistaken (which absolutely guts me), but a few of the shades are available through All Cosmetics Wholesale at the moment! (I've been loving #28, which I picked up through them in the Love Your Lips Collection.)

    Thanks for the links…. I do agree that year end lists are way more addictive than monthly faves. :)
