2014 favourites.

I know it's really late but here's my 2014 favourites.

Beauty.

Estée Lauder double wear: 1N1 Ivory nude. 

I've been using this foundation for well over three years now and no matter how many new ones I try, I always find myself coming back to this one. It gives flawless coverage and I haven't found another foundation that can match its staying power. 

TRESemmè keratin smooth haircare range.

I only really started using this in December but I love it that much it needed to be mentioned. Look for a review in the near future.

Clinique Take off the day Makeup remover.
I don't think I could live without this! I must have at least 20 sample sizes and a good few back ups. For someone that swears by waterproof eye makeup this is an essential, it just cuts straight through the toughest eye makeup.

Crest 3D whitening toothpaste: Radiant mint.

Another very recent addition to my favourites, I picked this up in America when I realised I had forgot to pack toothpaste. It was the best decision I've ever made. I have always had a problem with the taste of toothpaste, I have no idea why but this is the first one I like. 

Tangle teezer.

Best hair brush ever.

MAC creamsheen lipstick in Hot Gossip.

I can't even count how many of these I've been through. It's the perfect daytime lipstick, it's sort of muted plum but with pink and nude tones.

Illamasqua eyebrow cake in thunder.

When I had my makeup done at the illamasqua counter in Manchester last winter, I was convinced the MUA was out of his mind using such a dark shade on me. No matter what colour I dye my hair this shade had always worked, I can't use any other brow products anymore it just doesn't feel right. Illamasqua has got it on point with their eyebrow cakes, they're just so easy to use and applies so smoothly. I can't imagine every using a different product for my eyebrows.

Macadamia natural oil deep repair masque.
I love this soooooooooooo much but its really hard to justify the price. I can just about manage to make a small tub last 6 months so I suppose I could justify a huge tub a year (but only when it's on sale).

Origins Drink up overnight mask.
This is by far the nicest smelling, most luxurious moisture mask I've ever used. I use this once a week to fight winter dryness.

Fashion.

Office leather slip ons. 

During three years I've gone through countless pairs of vans for work. I decided to give the office own brand slip ons a go. Nearly a year later and they're still going strong. Only needing a wipe down once a week, and all for only £30.

H&M.

I've found myself navigating to H&M whenever I've needed/ wanted new clothes this year. It honestly has nothing to do with one opening in Lincoln ;) It's become the new Primark to me, the prices are cheap but the quality is amazing. 

Films.

The Maze Runner.

I had been waiting for this film for years! It was just perfect.

The Hobbit: The battle of the five armies.

It's so sad that it's all over. Back in the day me and my parents saw The Lord of the rings multiple times at the cinema, it's the end of an era. Now I want to watch it again... To the cinema!! 

Books.

Divergent.
I haven't really read a lot of books this year, but after putting it off for years I finally read divergent. I'm so mad at myself that I didn't read it before the film came out but the film is actually quite true to the book for a book to film movie.

There are so many more things I loved this year but these are all the things that jumped out at me when I sat down to write this. I might start monthly favourites just so the lists are shorter:)

Until next time.
