Top 14 of 2014

2014 was the year of brows, perfecting that 90's lip and recreating Kim K's contour.
And while I admit to following a couple of those trends, these are the products that topped my 2014. (Yes I am aware of how late this post  it, The last month has been rediculously busy for me)

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer.
I have fairly oily skin and this product is a livesaver, especially in summer for preventing my face looking super oily. May have another two backup stored away already. :P



Benefit Porefessional.
I do tend to layer my primers, especailly over my nose and cheeks as I do have fairly noticeable pores in these areas. While Benefits The Porefessional can be a little pricey I think it's totally worth it, plus I always order it off the American website rather than paying the prices here and the shipping is pretty reasonable.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation.

I spent a lot of 2014 wearing this foundation. It's a super lightwear, light coverage foundation that I love for day to day wear


Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser.
I only started using this concealer in the second half of the year after everyone started raving about it and I completely understand why everyone loves it. It's not too thick or thin, it's just a nice consistency and applies really smoothly to the skin.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.
The Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder is most definitely my favourite. It helps prevent my face from getting oily and lasts for ages. The only downside about it is the packaging.



Sleek Rose Gold Blush.
When I made my Sleek order earlier in the year I had to grab Rose Gold as it's supposed to be a dupe for the much raved about Nars blush in Orgasm. I love this blush. It gives a nice subtle glow that looks really pretty on the cheeks.

Chi Chi Bronzes Palette.
You guys know how much I love this palette. I raved about it so much when I first got it and I have continued to reach for it regularly.



Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette.
I feel adding this palette is cheating as I only got it a couple of days after Christmas. Whoops. But I am obsessed with it. I've been using it practically everyday since I bought it and it's just amazing. The pigmentation, the lasting power, the shade range, all just perfect for day to day wear.



Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Liners.
These liners are my life. They're water proof, there's a fantasic range of shades as you can see, and they last all day. Completely perfect in my eyes.

Rimmel Wonder'Full Argon Oil Mascara.
I was so hesitant to buy this mascara as I have had terrible luck with Rimmel mascaras. But the pretty packaging told me I had to buy it so the second it went on sale I did.
And I'm glad I did! I wear glasses so I've been looking for a mascara that lengthens my lashes slightly, while separating them and curls and this mascara does all that!


Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade.
Oh ABH dipbrow pomade. How perfect you make my brows look.
I cannot praise this product enough! You can do a subtle natural brow, you can do a super bold brow, this product just makes it possible to do anything you want with your brows. I do suggest using a pretty thin eyebrow brush and practicing before you wear it out. You only need the tiniest amount and it blends like a dream.



Nivea Hydrocare Lipbalm.
I went through a phase where my lips were always cracked and dry (too many matte lip days in a row, whoops) and the only thing that fixed them was the Nivea Hydro Care lipbalm. I have since tried the Nivea repair balm and it does nothing for my lips. So Hydro Care is my number one lip love. I have about four of them floating around the house. :p



Rimmel Kate Moss Spring collection #19
My perfect nude. I've had it for awhile now but with the 90's lip trend this lipstick got a lot of wear last year. I even made two of my friends buy it. :P


Nars Audacious Lipstick in Bette.
If you've read my latest Mecca haul post then you already know my love for this lipstick (linked here if you haven't). Super pigmented, glides on super smoothly and I don't find that it clings to any dry skin on my lips. Just such a pretty colour and the collection a whole is perfection. I have a list of about 12 that I want to get!
