2014 Beauty Favourites

It's nearly the end of 2014, I hope you've had a fantastic year and a lovely Christmas! As one of my last posts for this calendar year I thought I'd do a beauty roundup of my favorite products - ones I've repurchased time and time again. I've been really lucky this year Christmas presents wise so keep a lookout for a few beauty reviews in the near future alongside my fashion posts. 

1. YSL Touche Éclat
The holy grail of under eye highlighters, I use this on special occasions or when I'm looking noticeably tired. This is my third touche eclat so far and I'm sure it won't be the last! 

2. L'Oréal False Lash Telescopic Mascara 
This mascara is amazing for length and volume - a true winner in my eyes! The most important thing, however, is that it doesn't flake. I also love the Volume Million Lashes mascara but I feel that the telescopic one has a more subtle effect. 

3. MAC Creme Cup
The perfect pinky nude lip colour, I couldn't live without it. The cremesheen formula is beautiful and has a lovely vanilla scent. 

4. Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick Ruby Tuesday
I bought Ruby Tuesday a while ago but it's only recently that I've truly embraced wearing red lip colour. It's a really great formula and the only red you'll need in your makeup bag.

5. Essie Russian Roulette
I love Essie polishes and I've been wearing Russian Roulette all Christmas. Big fan.

6. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
I won't be the first blogger to rave about the RT Expert Face brush and there are many more in-depth reviews you can read online but my tagline for this product would be 'blending foundation perfectly and effortlessly'. I've even bought one for my mum. 

7. Stila In the Light Palette
This is not a new purchase but an everyday essential. The eyeshadows are a gorgeous consistency and the champagne shade 'Kitten' is a cult beauty classic. 

8.  Clarins Mineral Mono Eyeshadow Silver Green
This little palette was a promotional free gift however the shadows can be bought separately. Silver Green looks fantastic on its own with black liquid eyeliner. 

9. L'Occitane Almond Hand Cream
There is no competition for this hand cream. It's perfect for sensitive skin and feels very luxurious. 

10. Bourjois Liner Pinceau Liquid Eyeliner
Finally, this liquid eyeliner from Bourjois is my favourite one from the UK drugstore and I've tried a fair few! It's easy to apply and easy to remove if you make mistakes in a hurry - trust me I've been there! Unfortunately I don't have a photo of this at the moment as I've left it at uni but check it out online!
