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,

Spring nail polish picks 2014

Well hello,

During the winter I wore mostly neutral colors on my nails, except for a few sparkly occasions. But since spring is finally here It is time for some brighter and happier colors. During this time of year I mostly gravitate towards pastels and neutrals. These are my 6 faves right now:

From left to right:

1. Catrice Cosmetics - 040 Petit Four As Dessert
2. Catrice Cosmetics - 030 My Cafe Au Lait Notre Dame
3. OPI - Gouda Gouda Two Shoes
4. Essence - 01 Be Flowerful
5. Essence - 72 Found My Love
6. Catrice Cosmetics - 540 Am I Blue Or Green?


I love them all the same. But if I had to choose my absolute favourite I would pick minty green shade. I am not the biggest fan of green color in general but this shade makes me happy.Who knew nail polish can have such a positive impact on people? Are you curious which shades made it into last years fave spring nail polishes? Check here!

OPI Did You Ear About Van Gogh?

Well hello,

you probably know I love nail polish and that I own a lot more than I should. But usually I stick to the cheapest ones. But the quality is still important, off course. I just can´t justify spending a lot on a nail polish. However when there is a great sale going on you just can´t miss it. It´s the law!! Ha ha. If you are lusting over an OPI nail polish you might check out this site. You are welcome!

Anyways when I saw discounted OPI nail polishes I had to grab some. The first lucky one is Did You Ear About Van Gogh. Its very light, mixture of brown and grey and I thought this one will be great for the upcoming fall time. But then again all of these shades are great for fall.

Next we have Gouda Gouda Two Shoes. Don´t you just love the names? This one looks slightly different on the nails then in the tube. On the nails it looks a lot more red than pink and it has golden shimmery undertones. Just fabulous.

And the last but certainly not least is Diva Of Geneva. This one is a duo chrome, purple and metallic-golden-brown. I can´t really explain. But it´s really something. I like the quality of these nail polishes and also the brush, which is just the right size.

If you decide to order any of the nail polishes, let me know which one you chose. Have a great day.

Love,
