 2015 was a big year for me in terms of beauty, mainly because I fell in love with makeup and started this blog. Because of this, I have discovered products and fell in love with them and then discovered other ones and fell in love with them. The life of a beauty blogger lol. Anyways, I decided to do this so you guys could see what products I used the most throughout the year, that means no recent buys or anything like that!

Let's start with lips! One of my signature looks this year was the dark lips. For this, my most used lipsticks are the L'Oreal Colour Riche Exclusive Collection in Zoe's Red & the Maybelline Color Sensational Matte in 680 Mesmerizing Magenta. Out of both of these the L'Oreal one is the one that I can't live without, I'm completely in love with this lipstick and it will forever live in my handbag. On the other hand, the Maybelline Color Sensational I don't use anymore, mostly because the smell of Maybelline lipsticks tend to be very strong and gives me a headache.

Throughout the year, I didn't really focus much on the face because I didn't think it was that important (boy, was I wrong!) so I only ever used Clinique Concelear which has since ran out and the Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm in 02 Robust Rhubarb which I have in a delux sample and has lasted me a very long time so I highly reccomend going with the full product. I use this a lot now to add more color to my complexion and I really do love it because it has a very natural finish to it.

As for the eyes, I always talk about the Makeup Forever Aqua Shadow Waterproof Pencil in 22E  that has made it's way into my life by pure luck! It's not perfect, it's difficut (or nearly impossible) to blend and it tends to dry quicky in creases but still... I love it. Then we have the NYX Retractable Eyeliner in 08 Silky Cashmere, the most adorable eye liner ever! I absolutely love this product, it's gorgeous and it perfectly compliments the pink/sparkly eyes look I've been going with during this year. As for black eyeliners, I've tried a lot this year but I have to say that the one I used the most is the Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in 201 Black. For mascaras, I had two major ones this year and those wear the Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara & the Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara.  

To finish off the eyes, this post will not be complete without the Maybelline Blushed Nudes Palette! As you guys should know by now, I'm a big lover of anything pink and sparkling and this palette is both those things! It's perfect! I would recommend this palette to anyone who is just starting to get into makeup or prettu much anyone really! lol.

This year, when it comes to nails I never really moved on from the summer shades. I love everything pastel and you can clearly see that in my nail color options this year which includes: Essie in 722 Haute As Hello, Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant in 142 Salt Water Taffy, part of the
Dare to Dream Collection by Orly Color Blast kit is Princess Ping + Strength & Discpline and Sinful Colors in 1533 A-Crush.

And to finish this post off, I have to include the fragrance mist that has been part of my life for several years now and that's the Bath&Body Works Sugar Plum Dreams that I wear for everything! It's a very light scent that's sweet but not too sweet, it's pretty perfect and even though it's a winter collection, it works for every season really.

And that's my year in beauty products! Tell me what yours are in the comments below! Don't forget to follow my bloglovin, sign up for my newsletter and good luck for everyone going back to school/work this week~ See you soon, babes!

  6. I totally see why you love L'Oreal's lipstick. I have one (Laetititia's Red) and it is amazing. Also, I have Maybelline's too and I do not have any problems with the scent and it's also a great one.
    Good post! :)

    1. Thanks! and maybe I have sensitive nose lol because drugstore lipsticks are always an issue with me when it comes to scents. The only one that doesn't have one is Rimmel <3 xo
