2014 has been a year of great new releases and also some older rediscoveries. I've bundled together eight of my favourite beauty products from the past twelve months into one post, so put the kettle on and let me give you a run through.
Clinique Even Better Foundation: This has been my everyday foundation throughout most of this year. It's a very lightweight foundation, that leaves you almost forgetting your wearing anything on your skin. It gives you a "my skin but better" kind of look instead of leaving you looking like your wearing a mask. This foundation will definitely be one that I just purchase again and again and again.
MAC Fun Ending Blush: I've raved about this blush in a previous post and I guess I'll do it again. It truly is one of my favourite blushers because it's just so versatile. It looks great with every make-up look whether it's a dark smokey eye or something quite light and natural, it really is just great.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: I use this concealer mostly in the colder months because it's quite high coverage which isn't what I tend to gravitate towards in the summer but in the winter it's my go-to. I never fail to come back to this concealer because it has good coverage and great lasting power, its also a bargain at only £4.19.
Soap & Glory 2 in 1 Brow Filling Pencil & Brush: My eyebrows have never looked so good since I started to use this product. The little pencil nib is great at making precise lines whilst still looking natural and the spoolie is great for grooming those pesky sticky up hairs into place. This product is great because it does everything all in one, the only down side though is the lack of shades to choose
from.
Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics palette: This palette comes with 5 matte shades and 1 demi-matte shade that's perfect for highlighting. This taupe-hued palette is cooler toned than the original Naked Basics which is great for me because these shades are much more up my street that the original. The packaging of this product is so compact making it great for travelling and let's not forget about the massive mirror inside. All in all a great everyday product.
Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner: I'm a big fan of a cat eye and this is the product that I find is perfect to do it with. The ultra-fine tip really helps to gain control and create a precise wing. The formula is very long lasting making it stay in place all day because there's nothing worse than itching your eye only to find you've smudged your eyeliner half way across your face.
MAC Plumful Lipstick: This lipstick is all kinds of gorgeous. Its a lovely transition colour from day to night as it can be patted into the lips for a softer stained looked or it can be applied quite heavily straight from the bullet to give you a bold lip. It makes you feel very sophisticated when you wear it and it gives any plain outfit a little bit of something something.
Essie Sparkle on Top Nail Polish: This holographic top coat looks amazing over almost every nail polish. I often wear this polish paired with a dark blue colour underneath and it just looks amazing. It's perfect to wear to a special event or party to make you feel all fancy and with NYE right around the corner you have the perfect opportunity to run out to Boots to pick this up for yourself.
Well I think I've done enough rambling about my favourite beauty products of 2014 so i'm going to let you go as if I keep going you might start to grow a long grey beard.
See you next year,
