FROM YOURS TRULY

FACE- The face to me, is one of the most important parts to a beautiful flawless look. I've been loving the Rimmel liquid foundations for a long while now and had to include one of them in my favourites. The 25 hour (yes i said 25 hour) lasting finish foundation in the colour 100 ivory, is amazing! It creates a lovely flawless and dewy finish on the skin and not only is it long lasting but it also has incredible coverage! For concealer i've recently been experimenting with the Maybelline 'Fit Me' line and I'm telling you now, I have myself a new found love. It has super pigmentation and excellent coverage with a beautiful creamy consistency. What I also love about this product is that a little goes a long way. 

I've talked about the amazing product before. The Rimmel 'Stay Matte' press powder is a winner in my eyes. I've been using this product for a long time and it never disappoints. It is wonderful for setting and fixing your foundation into place while creating a lovely matte finish on the skin. Love!

Over this past year I have loved and worn the hell out of my NARS 'Laguna Bronzer'. The packaging is stunning and the warm, bronzed, sun kiss finish is to die for! This product just adds that little special something to your makeup look. I know I will be getting my hands on another one of these babies.

EYES- This year I would say I've been the most indecisive about mascaras. I've struggled to love and stick with one and seem to be jumping from one brand to another. I finally found myself repurchasing an oldie but goodie. I've been loving the Maybelline 'Falsies' and 'Mega Plush' mascaras. I find they give me a really full and voluminous look. These mascaras make me feel super feminine while creating a lovely, fluttery effect. They are also great for building up the intensity and thickness of your lashes for a more fuller and false lash look. 

When it comes to the eyes, I'm one of those people who doesn't adventure much into the eyeshadow department. For me, 2014 was a year I was the most adventurous. I was gifted one of the most amazing loose powder eyeshadows from bairminerals. It's a light, shimmery bronze hue, just simply gorgeous! It has incredible pigmentation and holds really well on the lid. 

LIPS- It's all bout them lips, bout them lips.... I found that 2014 was the year of the lips for me, honestly could not get enough! A good lipstick pulls your overall look together, making it look like to put ten times the amount of effort into your makeup. (Really I'm just super lazy and have the tendency to fall back on the bright, bold lip trend.) Two of my favourite and most worn colours from the past year has to be 'Rebel' and 'Russian Red' form MAC. They are two beautiful and highly pigmented lipsticks that I have been wearing non stop. I'm a huge fan of a dark, bold, rich lip and these two colours never disappoint! 

More recently I'v been obsessed with the all nude and natural Kylie Jenner lip trend-to be honest who isn't  I had my eye out for the NARS velvet matte lip pencil in 'Bahama' for a good while and finally jumped on the hype and invested in one of the most gorgeous deep neutral shades. I love it so much and wear it any chance I get... aha jokes, all the time! 

TOOLS- You can never go wrong with 'The Real Techniques' brushes. They are just simply beautiful!  They have such a variety of tools and are super high quality. You definitely get your moneys worth. How can anyone turn away from their incredible blending ability along with their super and I mean super soft brush. They are to die for!
