I have discovered some amazing products in 2015 and I thought I would share them with you. Most of these haven't been new releases in 2015 but one's that I have found and really liked!
My absolute holy grail foundation in 2015 has been the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, the shade Ivory matches my skin tone exactly, and I've really struggled with finding foundation shades this year that exactly match my skin tone! This foundation helps keep my oily T-Zone at bay while still looking lovely and dewy.
Lipsticks I have been loving are the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in the shade Temeraire and a Mac matte finish one in Velvet Teddy. I spoke about the Chanel one in this post so I won't say much about it but it is such a hydrating while really pigmented lipstick! I definitely need more of these in my life! Mac's Velvet Teddy has had a huge hype around it this year and I can definitely see why. It's such a staple shade that goes with any make up look and it's such a lasting lipstick!
My favourite brushes in 2015 have been the Real Techniques Bold Metals brush in 300 and the Zoeva Rose Gold Vol.2 Edition buffer brush. The bold metals brush is my favourite for contouring as it really gets in the crease with it's tapered end, and it is lovely and soft. The buffer brush has been my favourite for applying foundation. It creates such a flawless base and blends really nicely and doesn't make my foundation look cakey or streaky. Also, how pretty are these two brushes?! (Heart eye emoji).
By far my most used eyelashes have been the Eylure Definition 123 lashes. They add volume and length without looking too overboard. I only wear fake eyelashes when I go on nights out to make that little bit more effort, so I like them to be a a little something more than natural and these have been the most loved! These ones aren't too long either so I didn't have to have the hassle of trimming them!
My go to blusher in 2015 has been the Milani blush in the shade Luminoso. I'm not really into strongly pigmented blushes as they really don't suit my skin tone and make me look like a bit of a clown. Luminoso adds a tiny bit of peachy colour while adding some serious glow. You don't need to add any highlighter with this blush as it does it all for you, and the packaging is beautiful!
I only discovered The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer a few months ago but it has been the only one I have used since! It's such a creamy and really blendable highlighter. The colour is so natural and gives a lovely glow. A little goes a long way with this product too, so it's well worth the money!
I have been looking for a trusty lip balm all year as once my lips hit the point of being too dry and they crack it takes me so long to stop them from being sore! However, I finally found the one! The Nuxe Reve De Miel balm. This is my first product from Nuxe and it did not disappoint. It will literally stay on my lips all day! This is such an intensely hydrating balm with a minimal lovely scent.
My favourite single eyeshadow for 2015 has been the Kiko Water Shadow in the shade 228. I wrote about it in this post so I won't go on about it! However, it is so pigmented whether used with a dry brush or a wet brush, and is such a lovely shade for creating a purple smokey eye.
Moving onto skincare and bath products, I have been loving the Lush Ocean Salt Body and Face Scrub. It smells divine and is such good value for money! This scrub really feels like it is doing something and is slightly more on the harsh side, but I prefer them like that! It contains lovely oils which are really moisturising so I feel like I don't even need to use a moisturiser after using this! However, I probably wouldn't use this on my face due to the high oil content!
My favourite skincare product has definitely been the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo. This has been a life saver for me this year. Towards the start of the year my skin was going through such a bad time and this product completely cleared it up! This product not only has helped prevent breakouts it has also had a huge impact on reducing redness and imperfections. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this product but for me it's turned into one of my holy grail products which I use every day.
Lastly, my favourite perfume in 2015 has been Lancome's La Vie Est Belle. It is hands down the nicest perfume in the world. It's quite an intense scent that is fruity and floral, with top notes of bergamot and orange. I find it really hard to find perfumes that last all day like men's cologne's, but this one is a winner. A couple of sprays really do last all day and the scent is very strong so you don't need more than a few sprays!
