I have many favourites of this year; whether that’s make up,
hair, or fashion; these are what I have enjoyed using this year and will be
continuing to use through the beginning- and hopefully most- of 2015.
Maybelline the
Falsies Waterproof Mascara
This has been a staple throughout 2014 and is my favourite
mascara ever! It gives fluttery, long, voluminous, lashes without looking
clumpy. This gives a really natural finish to your lashes. It is also really
easy to build to get a fuller looking lash, to go with a heavier eye make up.
Collection Lasting
Perfection Concealer (in 2- Cool Medium)
This concealer has been repurchased so many times this year
I have lost count. It’s almost my not so secret weapon (as it is raved by so
many bloggers and youtubers). It covers everything from spots to under eye
circles and can be used with foundation or by itself. It’s so versatile and is
brilliant for most skin types as it’s not cakey. It is a drugstore product and
is available for £4.19 which is brilliant for how amazing it is.
Tanya Burr Lip
Gloss (in Chic)
Chic is my favourite colour from the collection. This is
because it is a natural, everyday colour. This nude also lasts all day without
much re applying. Moreover, it’s opaque so is easy just to throw on in the
morning. The formula of it is creamy as well, with an amazing sent (good enough
to eat!) making you want to apply it just to smell it.
Real Techniques
(Buffing Brush)
The Buffing Brush is
my favourite brush out of the whole collection (but the contour brush is very
close behind). if you are nervous, and
just starting out in make up, this brush is perfect for you. It buffs the
product into your skin seamlessly (this avoids the awkward “you've got a line”
sentence). It is versatile as can be used for cream, liquid and powdered based
products.
Rimmel Stay Matte
Powder
Gives a natural look to your make up, which doesn't alter the colour of your foundation. It also helps your make up stay put and not be shiny.
River Island
Tartan Scarf
This is my autumn/winter fashion staple. It goes everywhere (but
the stables) and I have been wearing it since the beginning of September non-
stop. It is on the price side, however it is double sided, super cosy, plus
taller (okay that’s not too hard) and wider than me. So you get what you pay
for. My warm cosy scarf that makes me think: I can conquer the world: and be confident.
Soap and Glory
Sugar Crush Body Wash
My penultimate product is the
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash I have now repurchased this twice
since I discovered it. I love it. The refreshing sent really wakes you up in
the morning and makes you feel clean and refreshed.
Tony and Guy
Reconstruction Mask
My final product is the Tony and Guy Reconstruction Mask. This
mask leaves your hair feeling soft, silky smooth and nourished after use. Especially
as I have dry hair, I find it really hard to locate products that do this jobs
as well as this mask. I love the brand tony and guy and have used it for the
past three years. Although it is on the pricier side of my budget I will keep
going back to their products as they leave my hair in the best condition ever.
I hope these products are useful and you see why I love
these products. I hope you had a brilliant year and I wish you the best in 2015.
