My 2014 Favourites - Part 1

 

Hey guys! I honestly can't believe how fast this year has gone, it seems like just a yesterday when it was January and 2014 had just started! But the end of the year means a 2014 favourites, these are the products that I have loved all year round and will most likely continue to use and repurchase. I am doing a 2 part favourites post as there are just too much products to fit into one post so this is going to be all makeup, check back on Wednesday for tools, skincare and hair care!

 

 

So we'll start off with the base, the foundation I have been loving all year has been the Mac Face and Body Foundation. This has just been my go to foundation for any occasion, it has light to medium coverage which I like and its super light weight on the skin, its also very buildable and it looks super natural and dewy on the skin.

I don't think its any surprise that my favourite concealer this year has been the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I absolutely love this concealer as it provides a very natural finish, its super easy to blend and it has very good coverage. I have a whole rave on this concealer here. I much prefer this concealer to the ever so famous Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which I have a love/hate relationship with.

For powder I actually have a fairly recent purchase but it is by far the best powder I have tried this year and it is the Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder. This powder I so finely milled and it just gets rid of any un wanted shine but it leaves you with a beautiful healthy glow, I have done a full review on this powder recently here.

 

 

A blush that I have loved this year has been the NYX Blush in Mocha. I really like the formula of these blushes and I am just in love with the colour of this blush, its like a muted pink shade and it literally goes with every look!

I have two bronzers that I have loved this year for two different purposes. The first one is the Body Shop Honey Bronzer. This bronzer is my go to bronzer that I use every day as it is the most natural looking bronzer I have tried, it looks super natural on the skin and it is not orangey at all!

The second bronzer I have comes in a sample size and it is the Benefit Hoola Bronzer. This came in a box set that I bought a while ago and I love this bronzer for contouring, it gives me a really nice and natural contour but personally I much prefer using my other Body Shop Bronzer for an all over bronze.

 

 

Now onto eyes and lips. For eye shadow my favourites would definitely be the Artist Of Makeup Eye Shadows. These eye shadows are so buttery smooth and extremely pigmented, they are really easy to blend and I would definitely recommend them! I have a full review on them here.

For lips I have two products which are the Rimmel Lip Liner in Eastend Snob and the Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Champagne Toast. If you haven't seen already I did a signature lip post a few weeks ago here including these two products. The lip liner is so pigmented and so creamy it just glides onto the lip and the lip gloss (I have a full review on the Tanya Burr Lip Glosses Here) is not sticky at all and it is really nicely pigmented.

As you can see I haven't mentioned a mascara or eyeliner as I haven't found one that I have absolutely loved so if you have any recommendations then please leave them below. 

 

So I really hope you have all had an amazing year and check back on Wednesday for part 2 of my 2014 favourites. :-)
