I know this is a bit late but hey ho:) Here are my beauty favourites of 2014! Sorry in advance for some products that might not be cleanest but it shows that I use them a lot right? Anyway here are my beauty favourites of last year:)
Tropic Smoothing Cleanser & Skin Revive
These are my two favourite moisturizers and cleansers. They work on my skin by not making it oily but smooth. If you haven't heard of the brand Tropic before, it's a pure natural make-up and skin company that Lord Sugar has invested in. I love the brand myself however it's not that cheap but works a treat:)
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette
I was lucky enough to get the Naked 3 palette for Christmas and I have been using it A LOT. I just love it very much and even though it's quite expensive the colours in it are to die for! There is a mix of shimmers, mattes and metallics in the palette. There is a large mirror and 2 sided shadow brush which comes with it as well. Included are samples of eye shadow primers in the box, which help to prevent creasing.
Avon Super Shock Mascara
I only got this recently but I have used it loads! The mascara is so nice to use and keeps the volume throughout the day. It's not flaky or hard to remove which is good in a mascara:)
Elf Golden Bronzer
I got this when I went to America for my holidays and have used it practically everyday ever since (as you can see by the loss of powder in the middle). Its a lovely bronzer to use and contours your face and cheek bones without it being too dark. The only down side with this is that it may be too shimmery but who doesn't like a bit of shimmer now and then?
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (N'52 - Vanilla)
This is my FAVOURITE foundation! I love it too pieces. It's dewy but not too oily like you have been playing in a pool of grease, eww. It's just a perfect foundation, it's not cakey or too thick and you don't really need concealer because it covers up spots and blemishes pretty well. I would 100% recommend this foundation:)
Rimmel Stay Matte Primer
Me and my Mum use this to keep our make-up on for the whole day and it really works. We both have completely different skin complextions as it being too oily or too dry but it works for both of us. It's a thick consistency as well which makes you think that it is going to keep your make-up on before even using it. The cream is very smooth as well and easy to rub in.
Lip Balms
Lately I have been getting really sore lips (probably becuase of my braces) but these 3 lip products have been helping to keep my lips nice and smooth:)
EOS Strawberry
I got this on my holidays because I heard so many good reviews about it. It's smells nice and isn't too creamy on your lips but does help to keep your lips smooth:)
Tropic Lip Love
The orangeness may be deceiving to how much love I have for this product! It isn't orange on your lips! The smell of this is GORGEOUS, it's kind of an orangey lemon scent . It just smells so nice! I would say that this is the best product for solving sore lips as it works after a couple of days.
Barry M Cor' Balmy (Shade- Adam&Eve)
Again, this lip balm smells lovely and works well. There is a 'moisturizing core' in the middle that adds to the softness and keeping your lips feeling nice and smooth. You can get many other shades in this, I picked the light pink so it doesn't really show the colour.
Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter (Shade- 25 Peach Parfait)
This is a different option to a lip balm as it includes a lipstick with a balm. It's quite creamy as the name of the product is lip butter but it's very nourishing as well. The colour that I chose is very pretty and has a hint of sparkle.
Rimmel Kate Moss Mascara
I do like this mascara as it gives volume and keeps it up throughout the day. However it can be a little flaky or clumpy sometimes and can be a little hard to get off. But the volume and is great.
Elf Baked Blush
If you want a light shimmery blush that gives you a nice highlight, then this is the blush for you:) It's pale in colour but has a gorgeous shimmer and sparkle that really brightens up your cheeks. It's very subtle but sweet:)
Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner
This is the best liquid eyeliner that I have owned and most used. I use liquid eyeliner often and this is the affordable pen eyeliner in my opinion. It's very easy to use and best if you are just starting using it. It has a very thin end to the pen so it's easy to be precise with your wing.
NYC Indivdual Eyes
I love this palette for so many purposes, like the primer, highlighter and the pretty eye shadow colours. It's such a good versatile palette and very good for a starter bunch if eye shadows.
I use this product everyday and I love it. There are a range of colours to choose for your eye brows. The shadow is very pigmented and lovely to use and apply. The creamy thing next to the shadow is a highlighter for your brow bone. I don't really use this often but when I have it's a little shiny and shimmery.
Barry M Nail Paints (from left to right- 357 Ballerina, 310 Mushroom, Vanilla & 337 Pink Silver Glitter)
These are a couple of my favourite nail varnishes of the Barry M range. They are very good quality for a good price. There are so many different range of colours and styles, too many to choose!
Avon Stardust
I got this for Christmas and it's so nice to apply. The brush is nice to use and it dries quickly:) The glitter stays on well and doesn't flake off or chip. The bottle is gorgeous as well, it's such a cool design!
Thank you for reading:)
