Favourites: 2014

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.
