Okay, so where has 2015 even gone? I can't believe it's 2016 tomorrow! Anyway, here is my favourite products of 2015! Really hoping I haven't missed anything out, but after careful consideration I have narrowed it down to the following products.
If you click on the product name it'll send you straight to where you can buy it too :)
Lets get started then:
I LOVE this foundation, and I feel that not enough people talk about this, if any at all! I never see any reviews of this, or any other beauty bloggers or youtubers using it. But I think it is an amazing foundation, it is matte, but even though I have dry skin it is still perfectly fine for my skin, and doesn't dry it out even more. It has a lovely medium coverage but it is build-able. It lasts most the day even when you don't set it. The sponge it comes with is even good! I actually prefer applying it with the sponge than with a brush.
I am always using this powder, but that's because it is the best loose powder I've found! It is so fine, hardly sets into fine lines, and is perfect for setting under eye concealer. It is a little pricey but it does last a long time! As you only need a tiny bit, but I am guilty of using too much sometimes, but even still, there is loads left.
OMG this brow pomade! I will never use an eyebrow pencil again! This stuff is amazing! This shade is perfect for me too, I have dark hair, almost black, but I do not like my brows to be as dark as I don't like the black brows look, and most dark brown eyebrow products are really warm toned so do not look right at all. This ash brown shade is a cool toned dark brown, which is exactly what I need. My brows do not budge all day either.
I love this mainly for the highlighter, but the contour shade is good too! But this highlighter is so pigmented, creates a gorgeous dewy finish to the skin, doesn't look powdery, and a little goes a long way. It is perfect for my pale skin too, both the highlight and contour shade.
I have almost ran out of the highlight shade in this palette *cries*. But this palette by Freedom is so good for the price. It contains a matte highlight and matte contour shade. I have it in the shade fair, and it really is perfect for my pale skin. I use the highlight for baking under my eyes and to clean up my contour. It is not very often I find a highlight actually light enough to be a highlight for my skin, but this one is!
I haven't had this primer water long, but I love it! It is a great base for makeup, smells gorgeous and is so easy to apply! There isn't really much more to say other than that.
omg, I could not live without this setting spray! I actually prefer this over the urban decay all nighter setting spray!! I feel this one sets my makeup so much better, and takes away some of the excess powder if I have gone a little over board! I am almost all out of it, so will definitely be picking more up.
This primer is rather expensive, but it is great. Minimises pores, creates a gorgeous smooth base ready for foundation too. I am almost out of this too! But with the hefty price tag I won't be in a rush to purchase some more, but I know I will definitely miss it.
I won't go on too much about this mascara as it has been hyped about a lot! But it really is the best mascara I have ever used! Seriously! You all need to try it.
I love natural collection blushes, but this one is my go to. It's in the shade peach melba, and just adds a gorgeous, natural, subtle pop of colour to the cheeks, perfect for an everyday look.
Again, I won't go on about this too much, as everyone and their mum goes on about this foundation, but it is one of my go to foundations. It's an amazing all rounder and ticks all the right boxes.
Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder
This powder is the best pressed powder I have found to date! And I have hit pan and the idea of running out of this scares me, I am definitely going to stock up soon so I don't have to think about having to go a day with this.
Mac lipstick- Stone (Matte)
I don't wear this too often, as it is not the type of lipstick you can wear to work. But Mac Stone is my favourite lipstick of 2015, the colour is so different to anything else I own, it is definitely my type of colour. I love a good dark lip!
I have always been scared of cream contouring and whenever I have tried it, it has always gone wrong for me. But with this it always goes right! The contour shade is perfectly cool toned so you don't look orange, and the highlight is actually lighter than my skin! And it has the perfect amount of coverage so you don't need a concealer under your eyes too. When I use this at 6am when I am getting ready for work it always mades me look more awake.
This concealer in NW15 is lighter than my skin tone, so I use it as an under eye brightener, and to clean up my cream contour. It is heavy coverage but blends nicely.
Last but not least, I love this palette! I have a review blog post too, so check it out here. :)
That's that guys, my makeup favourites of 2015, and it's even better that it's mostly drugstore too!
I hope you all enjoy your new years eve and I'd love to your what you're up to.
Also let me know what you'e been loving this year :)
Love, Abbie
