|2014 Beauty & Hair Favourites

It has taken me weeks to condense these products down and i am not even joking! I went through all my favourites posts and chose from them. I decided on a product from each category e.g foundation, blush as well as hair care favourites and quite a few lipstick! i just couldn't choose!. Instead of making this a very, very long post i will list the products and if i have an existing review on them i will link it!





|Loreal Miss manga mascara
A lot of hype around this launch this year but it has been my favourite mascara of the year. It adds length and volume.

|Stila In the light palette
Some of the best eye shadows i have ever used, so creamy, pigmented and blendable. I definitely want to try more stila shadows! 

|Make Up Revolution powder blushes
This brand has been an amazing launch this year and i love everything is have tried from them especially the blushes as they are only £1, have a range of colours and are long lasting! I now have all the shades available!

|Seventeen Concealer (review)
I have been using this for a few months now and i think it is great, i prefer this to the hugely popular Collection concealer, controversial i know!

|Essence Lip Liners (review)
The best lip liners i have used, i never really used them before i tried these. These are inexpensive at £1 and are pigmented and long lasting!

|Loreal Cheryl's nude
Another Loreal launch this year, it's unusual for me to include Loreal really as i only own about 3 products from them as i never seem to want to buy anything from them but i really liked this lipstick this year and it's a great colour and goes with any eye or make up look!

|Rimmel Foundation
The foundation that i have used the most this year i use the match perfection, wake me up and 25 hour foundations as they have the perfect match to my skin colour.

|Make Up Revolution Lipstick (Rebel with cause)   (Review)
Before i tried this i had never really reached for dark lipsticks but it is now one of my most worn lip sticks!

|Rimmel lipstick (101)
The formula is a matte formula and it is a great everyday shade that suits any make up look and also lasts for ages! 

|Mac Please Me lipstick
Nude lips has been a massive trend this year due to Kylie Jenner! This is one of the longest lasting lip sticks i have ever tried! 

|Essence Lip glosses  (review)
I never really wore lip glosses until i tried these! They are amazing! The finish is very shiny, so if you don't like that then these aren't for you, but they are not sticky at all!

|Collection Brow kit  (review)
I'm terrible at doing my brows and this made it easier as there are 3 colours to suit every brow so you can mix the shades to find the right one.

|Argan oil heat protection spray (review)

Review| LA Girl HD Pro Concealer

I know this concealer is a big hit on Youtube mainly due to Shanxo! After months i finally decided to order it as it isn't available in the UK so i waited till i had quite a few items to order to save on the postage!
The one problem i have with this is that it doesn't do a light enough shade for me! The lightest shade available is Classic ivory which i have here and it's too dark it would only match if i had fake tan on which i don't wear very often! It is high coverage and does give a flawless finish. On the photo i know it doesn't look this much different but in person it is!
I ordered mine from Beautyjoint.com and it was only £1.49, which is amazing value.I just wish they made just one shade lighter!

|Music Of The Year

As it's the end of the year I thought i would share with you my favourite releases of the year! i have loved a lot of albums and songs but these are my absolute favourites!


|George Ezra- Wanted On Voyage
An amazing album!! My favorite songs of it are Cassy O', Listen to the man, Leaving it up to you and Blame it on me!

|Ben Howard- I Forget Where We Were
I find his voice so relaxing! I always listen to make me go to sleep, Which is how i gauge how much i like an artist/song because i find it hard to fall asleep! My favourite songs are I forget where we were and End of the affair!

|Sam Smith- In The Lonely Hour
I love every song on this album! I don't think there is one that i don't like. 

|Hozier- Hozier
Again another amazing album my favourite songs are From Eden, Jackie & Wilson, Work song and Someone new so basically the whole album!!



| Mark Ronson Ft Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
Need i say anything about this song?! Big statement but i think this is my favourite song of the year!!

|James Bay - Let It Go
I love this song and his voice! I can't wait for his album to be released! I have seen James live twice already and he is fantastic!

|Paolo Nutini - Scream (Funk my life up)
Love Paolo and i love this song, what more can i say?!

|Taylor Swift - Shake it off
Probably one of the most played songs of the year but it is just so catchy!

Review| Make Up Revolution palettes

Make up revolution has been a massive hit in the blogging world this year and i have reviewed a lot of their products. The palettes i have here are the Iconic 2&3, all palettes from Make Up Revolution are £4, which is great value as they are very pigmented and blend amazingly! I know these are dupes of the Naked 2&3 palette but i don't own them to compare.
They are highly pigmented and blend smoothly which a range of matte and shimmery shades. I would highly recommend these palettes as they have a huge variety which a huge range of shades to suit everybody.

Review| Colab Dry Shampoo

These have been all over the blogging/ Youtube world recently as they are a new launch but also created by Youtuber 'A model recommends' The two i have here are the travel size London and Rio scents. The London scent is one of the nicest dry shampoos i have ever smelt! It leaves your hair feeling soft and refreshed. The product is available from Superdrug, the travel size is £ 1.99 and full size £3.49.

I have tried a lot of dry shampoos this year and i do really like these ones but the Touch of Silver dry shampoo remains my favourite!

Review| Essence 'All about nude' palette

I have read a couple of reviews on this palette and wanted to give it a go as they were all positive. For only £3.50 it is very affordable, there are 3 matte and 3 shimmery shades. I love the range of shades as there are light shades, a blending shade and a plum shades, so you can create different looks. In the UK you can buy Essence from Wilkos.
Overall, i think that this is a great little palette perfect for travel and it has a range of shades that last on the eyes.

|Coronation Street Tour

I recently went to the Coronation Street tour which has been re opened since they moved to a different set, I went when i was about 6 as it used to be open for tours then but then they stopped for some reason. I only live 15 minutes away so i don't know why i haven't been
sooner! 
You get a tour around a few of the interior sets and iconic props  which you can't photograph but im guessing that is so you can't spoil it for other who haven't been and want to make it a surprise! then you get to go on the street and wander round to take as many pictures as you would like! The tickets are only £16.50 which i think is amazing, i would have paid a lot more and i recommend anybody to go!
This post is picture heavy just a warning!
