My Top 5 Go to Make Up Items of 2014

I found it pretty hard to pick my top make up products of 2014 (the list would have gone of for a while!) so I have decided to tell you about the top 5 I always pick up.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze
I have a few of these  in different colours but this one is defiantly the most used one. It's a great base for one and lasts all day on me. I also find it to be a perfect day look with some bronze shadow on top and along the lower lash line but you can add a flick of eyeliner and it is a great night look. Nice and Simple!

MUA Shimmer Highlighter
I bought this right at the start of 2014 and I got so many complements on what I was wearing on my cheekbones! I don't wear it every day but paired with a simple pink blush is just gives an added dimension to the look. I think they now do this in a gold so I think I will invest in that in the new year and at £3 why not.

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Elusive
Every blogger around fell in love with these during 2014 and I was know exception! This mid tone pink is my favourite colour as it is just so wearable. You do have to make sure your lips are nice and moisturised and not dry and flaky but that's nothing a lip scrub can't sort out! I only have 2 of these and I have been very resistant in not buying any more but I might have to perk my self up with another one during the start of 2015.

Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara
I LOVE this mascara, I have rebought and I will do again! To be honest I think its all about the brush, this brush is a pretty large plastic one, some people hate plastic mascara brushes but each to there own. When I first used it I was blown away with how much length and volume it gave my stubby lashes! If you like a plastic brush you need to try this!

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer
This is unlike any foundation primer I have ever used! I have used lots of silicon based gel ones before which yeah they sort of work but I don't really like the gel like feel on my skin, but this one is out of this world! It's a kind of cream consistency which most people with an oily skin with scream at! But I sinks into the skin perfectly and after a few minutes I apply my foundation and it goes on amazingly! It also has very impressive staying power. I don't use this everyday but if I know I'm going straight out after work or I have a special occasion/meal/night out I will most defiantly pick this up! I got this free in a Lastest in Beauty Box so I'm gonna use it sparingly as the full size one is pretty pricey.

What have been your go to products of 2014?

It's All About The Blush

This summer I have have seemed to have bought quite a lot of blushes, not intentionally but the packaging is so pretty and the colours so mesmerising they just seem to fall into my basket!

Below are the Blushers I have loved this summer

Benefit Coralista- I first came across this blusher a fair few years back in a Christmas gift set. I loved it and was so sad when it ran out. Being a more high end product I never re-purchased it again, then my flight into the blogger sphere and a trip to New York later I have it back in my life again! I love the coral pink colour with the slight gold shimmer, it suits most skin tone even my pale and interesting skin but looks even better when I fake tan, which I really should do more! I love love LOVE the packaging and the smell! Have you noticed the smell of it? Go on sniff it and you will see! Plus it has a handy brush for on the go appulations (that I don't really do, but I should!). I would LOVE to have more Bene Blushers, What ones are your faves?

Bourjois Blush 01- I totally would not have bought this if I didn't receive it in the Glamour Summer Beauty Edit but I totally fell head over hills in love with it. With having an oily skin I steered clear of cream blushes, I have got the Benefit Fine Fine One but that was kind of a impulse buy and it's not my fave at all. But this one THIS one is amazzzzzing! First off the colour is natural and nude which means it suits most lip colours plus it's builable too. I like to apply it with my Real Techniques sponge or my fingers then I blend it upwards. Have your tried these? What do you think?

Revlon Highlighting Palette, Rose Glow 020- I heard this was a dupe for the Bobbie Brown Shimmer Brick which is something that I have always wanted to try. I have loved this product as it gives you a lovely sweep of colour with a slight shimmer and a light pink and natural glow. It's great and buildable and not too much! I really recommend this product and it's have lasted for ages! How does this rate to the Bobbie Brown Shimmer Brick?

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold 262- This is my total fave blusher of alllllll timmmmeeee!!!! When I don't no what one to wear I always pull this one out of my muji draw! The pigment and colour are out of this world! I'm so glad I discovered this blusher, I just apply a light sweep over my cheek and I'm done! It's great for day and night. I normally wear this to work and often get comments on how nice it looks. I really should have taken a photo of it open but I hit the pan of it a long time ago so it isn't that pretty but I figured at a total blogger fave you would all not what it looks like! I will defo be repurchasing this blusher again. I have a couple of other sleek blusher but they don't seem as good as this one, What other Sleek Blusher have you tried and loved?! 

I can't believe there was a time a few years back that I never used blusher! I think it scare me a little as I didn't want to look like the girl with the clown face. Now I would never be without one!
