My 2015 Beauty Favorites


Hello everyone! I am probably the last person to write about 2015 favorites but I thought it was appropriate cuz it is still January haha. Most of the products that I will mention I have already mentioned in my blog before but they just need another shout out!

Lets start off with foundation. I have mentioned the Revlon Colorstay so many times but it is my go to foundation. I have tryed out a few others throughout the year and I always just go back to Colorstay. I am on the look out for a new foundation since I have been using this one for about three years and it is time for a change. I love the coverage but the only problem I have with it is the color. I can never find a perfect color for myself and I always look too pink. Do any of you know which shade is light and a bit more warm and yellow toned?


The next products I want to mention are blushes. I have three blushes that I have used constantly last year. The first one is E831E Pearlescent Pink by Wet n Wild. This was my go to summer blush and I literally used it every day of the summer. The pigmentation is awesome and as you can see I hit pan on mine.


The next two are from my Makeup Revolution ultra blush palette. I have the color Sugar and Spice and the first two blushes in the palette  I have been using since fall and I still do on a daily basis. As you can see I also hit pan on one of them and the palette is pretty beat up.


There is only one makeup tool that I want to mention and that is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I bought this sponge last spring and I have been using it every day since. It was my favorite way to apply my Colorstay foundation. The only thing I don´t like is that it is a pain to clean and I can never get it looking really clean,  With that being said..ignore its dirtyness in the picture. 


Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 eyeshadow palette was my go to palette. The colors are a dupe for the UD naked 3 palette. These are not the best quality eyeshadows but for my every day needs they work perfectly fine. The colors are beautiful and the price is amazing. I would suggest an eyeshadow primer with these. As you can see in the picture below I have really used mine a lot!


I have tryed a couple of different eyelashes from the drugstore and they just did not work out for me. They were too heavy and uncomfortable on my eyes. Finally I found a store that sells Ardell eyelashes and I was so excited because everyone raves about them. I bought the style 120 Demi black and I was so pleasantly surprised when I put them on. They were so light and comfortable. I didn´t feel them on my eyes at all.


Now lets talk about some lip products. I am a huge Wet n Wild fan and their Megalast lipsticks are AMAZING!!! I have so many colors and I absolutely love them. My most worn are definitely Bare it all, Sugar Plum Fairy and Cherry Bomb. Also Stoplight Red is the perfect red for me.


Another lip product that I definitely have to mention is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet. If I am not wearing a WnW lipstick then I am definitely weaing this, I can´t say enough good things about this product. It is so comfortable on the lips and lasts a really long time. I have mine in the color Nude-ist and I really want to pick up more shades. 


While we are talking about lips I just want to mention my favorite lip balm. It is the Labello lip butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. I have gone through a couple of these and I use it every morning when I wash my face and every night before going to sleep. It smells really good and it protects my lips very well.


It was so hard for me to narrow down my nailpolishes to a top 5 because there are so many colors that I love. So my favorites in a random order are:

- Bourjois Turquoise block
- Wet n Wild Wear Skinny Jeans (limited edition)
- Ados cosmetics 551
- Catrice (S)wimbledon
- Essence Mandarine Bay

As you can see all the colors are kind of springy but those are just the types of colors that I like to wear year round.


I don´t like to wash my hair often because it is long and curly..and a pain in the butt to style. Dry shampoo is a must have for me because it helps keep my hair clean looking between washes. Batiste dry shampoo is my favorite and I have mentioned it in previous posts. I absolutely love it and it works so well for me.


Last but not least I want to mention the Victoria´s Secret fragrance mist in Amber Romance. I have worn this all summer because it is light and it smells so good!! 


Those would be my favorite products of 2015. As you can see I did not have a favorite mascara or lipgloss. I have tryed a lot but there was nothing that just stood out to me. 

Thank you all so much for reading!!

My ALL TIME Favorites

Hello everyone!! In todays post I will share with you some of my all time favorite products/items! Some are make up related others are just random things that I love and always go back to. Some of these items I have previously mentioned on this blog but needed to include in this post anyway :)


- Real Techniques Expert Face Brush : I am absolutely in love with this brush. I use it every single day for so many things...foundation, bronzer, blush and its amazing!! I highly recommend it!

- Revlon Colorstay foundation : This is my all time favorite foundation. I love the full coverage of it and the lasting power. Also it is amazing that they have a version for oily skin and a version for normal/dry skin.

- L´Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara : I have been using this mascara for years and I always go back to it. It just makes my eyelashes look really nice and it doesn´t clump on me. I think L´Oreal mascaras in general are amazing!!

- Wet n Wild Megalast lipsticks : I have only had these lipsticks for a few months and I am soo in love with them. I only have two colors but I wear them almost every day. They last so long on the lips and feel great. Another awesome thing is the really low price. I have Think Pink and Bare It All and next I want to buy Just Peachy and Mauve Outta Here!

Next are just a few of my all time favorite nailpolishes! I didn´t want to include too many so I narrowed it down to four amazing colors!


I love nailpolish and I have quite a few of them. I am not really a person that wears certain colors during certain seasons I just wear whatever I like year round. Here are my four favorite colors from left to right:

- Bourjois Turquoise Block
- Essence Purple Sugar 
- Essence Free Hugs 
- Eveline 811

Next are just some random items that are not makeup related but I love them anyway :


- Violeta baby wipes with chamomile : These are my favorite wipes and the only ones that I have bought since I discovered them. They are perfectly wet and smell really good. I just like to have them in the house for many reasons but sometimes I even remove makeup with them.

- Afrodita Vanilla liquid hand soap: This soap smells sooo good I almost want to eat it. It is the only one that you will ever find in my bathroom.

- Neutro Roberts deodorant in Powder Fresh : The smell of this deodorant is amazing and it keeps me fresh all day . It is also alcohol free which is always great. For years I have been using the spray version and just recently I decided to try the roll on and I love it just as much.

- Bettina Barty Vanilla hand and body lotion : I have already mentioned this product in a previous post and I really love it. The smell stays on the skin for a long time but if you have dry skin I don´t think this is hydrating enough for you. 

And last but definitely not least is a purse that I just had to mention in this post.


I love this purse so much it is like my favorite item  that I own. I have worn it for two whole summers every day and this summer wont be any different. I actually ordered this purse from a lady that makes purses so I got to choose the colors, material and everything. She has a page on facebook called Mary Bo Bags and you can check out the pictures of her other purses. These colors are just perfect for summer and the bag is awesome quality. I hope it lasts me for a few more summers :)

I am sure I have a few more all time favorite items but I just can´t think of them at the moment so that would be it for this post! I hope you guys enjoyed it and thank you for stopping by!! xoxo
