Best 14 of 2014

Well hello,

I know I´m kinda late on this one, but I cannot start a new year of blogging without letting go of the old one. And what better way to do that than to round up all the best products I have been enjoying throughout the year. This year I decided to do this post a bit different, I am going to show you my favourite 14 beauty products of 2014. Some of these products I´ve had for a longer time, but if it ain´t broke don´t fix it, right?

First, let´s talk about the foundation. I can´t believe that Catrice Cosmetics Nude Illusion became to be my favourite. I use it every day, without a doubt because I love the natural finish that it gives. Now, the reason I am so surprised is that when I tried it for the first time I absolutely hated it. But I tried a different way of applying it and never looked back. I used my Blending Sponge, again from Catrice and it changed the game for me. It blends and smooths the foundation beautifully.

I want to mention not one, but two concealers: one for the under eye circles -  Maybelline´s Instant Anti-Age Effect The Eraser Eye concealer and my all time favourite blemish concealer: Bourjois Healthy mix concealer.

Next up we need to mention a powder. I have absolutely been loving the MineralSkinfinish Natural from MAC. It sets my foundation but leaves a healthy looking glow. Can you tell already I am on a natural looking make-up kick? Speaking of MAC I also really enjoyed using a Sheertone blush in a shade Peaches. It´s a matte orange/coral. It warms up my skin tone and makes me look more awake and younger. I top my blush with my fave highlighter ever, CatriceCosmetics Prime and Fine Highlighter. It´s soooo pretty.

Now, let´s talk eye products. I loved using MAC Paint pot in Soft Ochre. It makes the eyeshadow pop and last all night long. My eyeshadow fave hasn´t changed from last year. My Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay is still the Bomb. My most used shadows are Tease and Bootycall. Next, eyeliner. On a daily basis I usually use eye pencils but when I want my eyes to stand out I use Catrice Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner. It is the blackest, most intense and best quality eyeliner I have ever tried. Last thing is the Eyebrow lifter from Catrice.

And last category are lip products, possibly my favourite. My fave lip liner is Deborah Milano 24 ORE. I had a bit more trouble choosing the best of the best lipsticks, but I think MACs Mehr must be my most used. At least towards the end of the year. And I almost forgot the nail polish. Hands down OPI Gouda Gouda two shoes. Even the name is too cute.

And there you have it. My best of the best beauty products of the 2014. I hope 2015 is also filled with awesome  new products. Before I leave you, I want to know what products you are excited to try in 2015.

Love,

Mini Catrice Cosmetics Haul

Well hello,

It´s been a while since I wrote anything on my blog. Honestly, I had so much going on and when I did have time to write something I just didn´t find the passion. So I decided to take some time for myself and I guess I´m finally back. Also, just because I didn´t post any reviews doesn´t mean I wasn´t busy spending my money. I have tried so many products and I can´t wait to start typing, Ha ha

Anyways, lets stop this excuse fest and jump right into the mini Haul. Lately, every time I step into the Drugstore I end up buying some goodies. There are so many new products coming out and I can´t wait to try them. Especially Catrice Cosmetics came out with new foundations, blushes, lipsticks, you name it. One thing I was so happy to see was the Blending sponge. There was such a hype going on about Beauty Blender a while back, but the price was way to high. Especially not knowing If I would even like such a thing. I am so happy Catrice created It´s own dupe and I hope It will become one of my make-up staples. If nothing else, Catrice Make Up Blending Sponge will be a great way to release stress, since its so addictively squishy.

Another thing I picked up is yet another nail polish. But I promise I have nothing like it in my collection. I am recently on some sort of lavender/purple kick and this color is to die for. Not to mention purple is my absolute favourite color. I can´t wait to try Catrice Cosmetics It´s Time For Lovender

And lastly a new foundation. I was a bit sceptical about this one, because it is very liquidy and low coverage - both things I don´t usually go for. Still, Catrice always seems to pleasantly surprise me, so I got it anyways. If I don´t end up liking Nude Illusion Foundation, I will pass it on to my mommy. Problem solved.

Honestly, It feels quite nice to be back. I will report the results as soon as they are in, Ha ha. I hope you enjoyed this mini haul and stay tuned for more.
