I know a lot of people will be writing posts about their best products of 2012 and I most likely will do the same once I've had the chance to think about what mine are!
However when I was thinking of what products have featured heavily in my 2012 and also in general in the cosmetic/blogging world there was only one type of product that stood out in my mind: oil.

How many types of oil are there available??
Hair oil, face oil, body oil, shower oil.......
In particular Moroccan/Macadamia/Argan oil have taken the cosmetics world by storm and although I haven't used much of it, I have used the Macadamia hair mask and the Ojon oil and am very much a fan of both!
I have used some body oils but I'm always in a rush and am yet to find one that sinks in fast enough and does a good job.
As skincare is one of my favourite topics and aisles to browse in store, I have tried and tested a few face oils this year that has been my biggest surprise.
Starting off my year with oily skin, the last thing I would have put on my face is oil!
Once my skin changed due to stress and became drier and covered in cysts, I was forced to apply more moisturiser to combat the lack of hydration that I'd never experience before.
This included oils and now I would never be without them!
They helped clear some scars on my face, hydrated dry patches and did not in any way affect my oily t-zone! (Particularly Antipodes Divine Oil)
This for me was a revelation and I have been happy to swallow my words on adding oil to oily skin.
Do you agree that oils have been the biggest buzzword of 2012?
It makes me wonder what will be the product type of 2013...does anyone have any ideas?
I think nail art comes a close second as the biggest hype in 2012, maybe it hasn't had its day yet....or maybe products with a distinct lack of chemicals will become even more popular and product choice will increase with demand?
Who knows!
You know however, that we will all be watching! I for one cannot wait for 2013!
