Hello my lovelies!
2014 has literally whizzed by, that's so cliche to say I know. I've been so busy this year, but have really been trying to get into blogging regularly. Since January I have, lost my high end makeup virginity (bit weird?), got lots of new makeup, written and posted 29 blog posts, Made a twitter account for my blog, celebrated 1 year of blogging, hit 100 followers on bloglovin and much more!
Sleek contour kit- I purchased this around May and have used it more or less everyday since, You can use a light amount in the day time or really build it up for parties and night time. This is one of my holy grail products and I couldn't recommend it more.
Bourjois Waterproof Mascara- I love this mascara so so much, It adds so much length and volume to my lashes and I have never had a problem with clumping etc. no matter how many layers I apply. I like to use a generous coat for school and for the evening I apply one coat, wait for it to dry completely, curl my eyelashes lightly and then apply another thin coat. This gives my lashes amazing volume and it honestly looks like false lashes- without the hassle.
Bourjois Lip velvet - This is the longest wearing lip product I have ever tried. I have the shade framborjois and I love it so much. My lips dry out ridiculously easily and quickly, but this product glides onto my lips and stays. It does not dry out my lips or sink into the fine lines, It does not dry into a powdery finish which I really like, yet does not smudge, transfer or flake away. I will definitely be picking up more of these.
Collection felt tip liner- I love this eyeliner to pieces, Despite the minuscule price tag, it is the best eyeliner I have tried. I find pen-type eyeliners much easier to manoeuvre than liquid eyeliners. Especially for my regular winged eyeliner. It stays on my eyelid all day more or less jet black. It does tend to run a little if I cry-laugh, which I do quite a lot. But this is easily fixed, and overlooked with such a tiny price tag.
Mua Undressed palette - I reach for this palette more or less every day, the pigmentation is great, the shadows blend well and the shades are gorgeous. This palette has the tiny price tag of around £4. In the future I may invest in the naked palette, but if you love the shades and not the whopping £37 price of the Naked palette then you will love this palette!
Barry m bikini polish - Around the summer and early autumn this nail polish was permanently on my nails, I believe it was limited edition and I have yet to find a similar shade. I am in love with this colour!
Naked basics Faint- This was a favourite for my eyebrows believe it or not. I apply this with an angled eyeliner brush, I think the shade may be a bit warm toned for my face so I don't really use it now a days, but It definitely was a favourite for 2014.
Benefit Gimme Brow - I used this in conjunction with the faint eyeshadow for a perfect brow, I do recommend this product, but only for setting brows. I am extremely lacking in the eyebrow department and it did not 'gimme brow' I would not purchase again. If you are more naturally gifted in the brow department you may like this, for filling in bald patches etc but for me it was not worth the money.
Short hair- In the second half of this year I have been cutting off inches of my hair like nobodies business. In the summer my hair was around my waist, In September I cut my hair to just above my bust, In October I cut my hair to about 4 inches below my collar bones. In December I cut my hair to my collar bones and I love it! It is in such good condition and It feels so lovely, i think this is the shortest I will go for a while but who knows! I am probably one of the least spontaneous people you will meet, apart from with hair cutting and travel.
2014 has flown by in the bat of an eyelid, Thank you to all my new and old followers for sticking with me and following my little blog in the first place! I am so grateful for all of you! Bring on 2015, I can't wait to see what exciting things the new year brings!
