The Best of Beauty 2015: Blush and Bronzer.

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, I'm doing Blush and Bronzer.

Blush
Benefit Rockateur Blush
A beautiful deep rose gold blusher that just looks beautiful all year around. If I need a blush that is going to make me look awake and healthy, I'll go to this, it is pricey but Benefit blushers are in kits and I know this particular blush has its own kit so it's more for your money!
£23.50

Runner Up
Milani Luminoso Blush
I purchased this at the start of the December, but it's just too well loved not to mention it in this post. It looks so subtle on the cheeks, you just look like you have a natural flush to your cheeks. Definitely one of the cult products you have to pick up for yourself!
Milani is hard to get in the UK, but it's $8.49 on the site and that's £5.79!

Bronzer
Benefit Hoola Bronzer
Another Benefit product, I'm sorry! But this one is definitely worth it. For me, it kind of doubles up as Bronzer and Contour powder. When I'm tanned, I just use this as a bronzer to enhance my colour, when I'm pale, I can use this as a contour powder. This has it's own kit "Do the Hoola" and it's also in "Bronze of Champions." I own both and I think they're £26!
£23.50

Seventeen Define and Conquer Kit
I know this is a contour and not a bronzer but this is just the one. It looks gorgeous on light-medium skin tones and the highlight is matte. Matte highlight, can we just take a moment to appreciate that? I never see a matte highlight on the high street! The kit is so cheap for the money and it's entirely worth it.
£5.99

The Best of Beauty 2015: Face and Eye Primer

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, face and eye primer. 

Face Primer

Benefit Porefessional Primer

I have used this for well over a year, and I adore it. I have quite large pores (I don't know why, someone help me please) and this just covers them up. The Nude Magique Blur Cream by L'Oreal does a similar job but this just slays. I'm not sure whether I'll repurchase it once I've finished it, I don't really want to pay that price tag again! 

£24.50

The Runner Up

Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer 

If you read my foundation post, which I really hope you did, then you will have seen that I love the Lasting Finish foundation. This literally feels like a second moisturizer, it glues my foundation to my face and it's just so good!

£6.99 I think!

Eye Primer

Urban Decay Primer Potion in "Eden"

I have all of the Primer Potions because when I had my first two Naked Palettes, they came with testers of them all. Unfortunately, my Smoky Palette didn't! But this one is the best one, it's matte and you literally need about half the amount of this one compared to the original. It's tinted and it's great! Plus, the testers have loads in so i've not actually had to buy the full size of it!

£16 for the full size, and you can get a smaller tube for £10. I just have a sachet!

Runner Up

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original 

Although Eden won the first place, Original is still better than any other primer I've tried. I highly recommend the Urban Decay Primer Potions in general. Glues your eyeshadow to your eyes!

Same price as above.

Stay around for the next post, blush and bronzer!

The Best of Beauty 2015: Eyeshadow Palette and Cream Eyeshadow

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, eyeshadow palette and cream eyeshadow.

Eyeshadow Palette

Urban Decay Naked Palette

I have bought so many palettes this year, they have definitely been my weakness. But this has definitely been my ultimate go to palette. They have such a variety of shades, there are only two matte shades which is the only downside for me, i'd quite have liked three! My favourite shades are Sin, Smog and Half Baked!
£38 (Usually on sale on Feel Unique though!)

Runner Up
The Balm Nude Tude Palette
Gorgeous variety of shades, highly pigmented even the white. The names are amazing, sassy, sultry etc. Great sleek palette for travelling!Sleek is also one of the names haha. Just great!
£30

Cream Shadow

Maybelline Colour Tattoos
These have such a range of colours, I have a fair few of the neutral shades. I absolutely adore the two new shades that are matte called "Creme de Rose" and "Creme De Nude" and they are perfect for a base or just on their own for a subtle look. They have different ranges, creamy mattes, leather and just the averages one. I've heard America just got the metallic ones too!
£4.99

Runner Up
MAC Paint Pot
I only have two of these and I've just got them at the end of the year so I didn't think they should be number one. I have two shades, Camel Coat, which is a just a base colour. Perfect for covering up the veins on my eyelids! I have Antique Diamond aswell which I picked up in the Cosmetics Company. It's a glittery silver, which you can imagine I haven't got much wear out of! Perfect consistency of these paint pots, just a bit more of the pricey side for a cream shadow!
£16

The Best of Beauty 2015: Mascara and Eyeliner

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, mascara and eyeliner.

Mascara

Benefit Roller Lash

I'm so incredibly picky with mascara. Mascara is one of those things that I will splurge on because I am still searching for the best mascara. However, this comes close. This mascara makes my straight lashes so curly, the curl lasts so long. No clumps and I make it dramatic with the more coats I use.

£19.50

The Runner Up

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

I was really doubtful about this mascara. Everyone loved it, and I was thinking "It can't be that good." I was so wrong, it curls, it lengthens, it does everything I'd ever want it to do. I use the waterproof one which is a bugger to get off. For the price, you can't go wrong for trying it, and people are right. It is good!

£7.99

Eyeliner

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencils 

I have so many shades of these. I got given a kit that has a fair few mini eyeliners in and one large one of the Perversion liner. My favourites shade are Stag and Pervision. Easily blendable and definitely worth the price!
£15.50

The Runner Up
NARS Larger than Life Eyeliner in Via Venito
I got this in the NARS Glossybox (Which I've done a post on!) and it's just a simple black. It's quite an average eyeliner really that's hiiiiighly pigmented!
£19

The Best of Beauty 2015: Powder and Eyebrows

This year I have decided to choose my best products of 2015. I'm only choosing one beauty product in each section. e.g. one foundation, one mascara. However, I will be doing a "Runner Up" to the product that almost made it.  In this post, powder and eyebrow product. 

Powder

Benefit Hello Flawless

This powder basically feels like a powder foundation. I apply it all over the face and use a little brush to apply it directly onto problem areas. It looks beautiful on the skin and I want to repurchase it, but the price tag definitely puts me off. I'm going to invest in the MAC Studio Fix powder and if it's not as good as this one, I'll stick to this. Baring in mind, the powder has lasted me well over a year! It also has an SPF of 15.

£25.50

The Runner Up
Revlon Photo Ready

I don't have one that magnificently stood out for me but the Revlon Photo Ready would be my next favourite. £11.29

Eyebrows

Sleek Eyebrow Stylist

I have been using this for about a year and a half. It is an absolute favourite of mine, I've repurchased it four times. It has a wax on one side and a spoolie on the other. The spoolie is incredible and I never need a gel to set it. Absolute must!

£5.99

The Runner Up. (It almost won.)

Benefit Gimme Brow

Ahhh the ultimate cult favourite. I love this gel, I use this on its own when I've just had my brows done or with the eyebrow stylist for that bit more va va voom. Mine lasted me a year and I've just repurchased a new one! 

£18.50
