I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I will have my birthday post up soon, but today I want to focus on my favorite beauty products for 2014. I'm so proud of myself for getting this post up on time. I actually finished this post earlier this month to make sure I got it posted on time. I usually don't do a whole lot of monthly favorites since some of my favorites are the same or I just forget about them in general lol. However, I didn't want to let the year go out without writing my favorite beauty products for the year. This is just a list of products that I discussed throughout this year in past posts.

Lip Products

MAC, NYX Butter Lipstick, Avon Ultra Color Lipstick, NYX Butter Gloss, MAC Prep+Prime, NYX Lip Pencil, and Avon Glimmerstick Lip Liner

 

 

Mac, by far is my favorite brand, but I also use these other brands because they're such good quality. Avon and NYX products are also good quality and come in a variety of shades. All these brands have been a major staple in my makeup routine this year.

*These aren't necessarily my favorite colors I just listed them for display purposes

Eye Products

Urban Decay Naked, Naked 2, and Naked 3 Palettes, Lorac Pro Palette, and BH Cosmetics

 

Honestly I couldn't chose between the three Naked palettes because I love them all. I won't dwell to much on these palettes since I wrote reviews and showed FOTD's with each palette. If you love neutral and rose colors (Naked 3), these are definitely the palettes to have.

Mac Paint Pot in Painterly, NYX Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk, and NYX Eyeshadow Base in White

 

 

I see why so many people rave about these eyeshadow bases. Paint Pot is so worth the hype it receives as base because it makes your eyeshadow blend well. It also makes your eye makeup look flawless. Milk (pencil) and (White) also helps create gorgeous eye makeup  looks. I mentioned this before...you only have to use a small amount of each to make your eyeshadow pop. Also, if you have a eyeshadow that doesn't show well try one of these two as bases to give your eyeshadow life. I really like how all three can also be worn alone as eyeshadow.

Face

Fashion Fair Fast Finish Foundation Stick

 

This is more of a Holy Grail product for me since for both my foundation and concealer. I think this runs about $28, and it only takes a small amount of this foundation for full coverage.


Victoria's Secret Bronzer (Goddess)

 

I started using this over the Summer and I've loved it ever since. The bronzer isn't too shimmery and I like how I can wear it during the whole year. It really reminds me of a nice lightweight powder. 


Skin Products and Removers

Ponds Towelettes, BH Cosmetics Eye and Lip Makeup Remover, and Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 

 

I like to buy the travel size packs of Ponds towelettes rather than the large pack because the smaller packs don't dry out as often.

 

You have to have good products to remove your makeup right?! Well, I think I've found mine. These go hand in hand because I use the wipes to remove my makeup and the eye and lip remover before washing my face.


Cetaphil Sensitive Face Cleasner

 

After I use the towelettes, eye and lip remover, I use Cetaphil Cleanser to wash my face. If you read my blog on a regular basis, you already know how much I love to use Cetaphil products for my skin regimens. 


Nail Polish

Pure Ice Nail Polish

 

I recently discovered this brand of polish this year and it's great quality! These polishes come in a variety of colors (including glitter). My manicures usually last about 6 days without any chipping or retouching, pretty impressive!
