My 2015 Favourites

So it`s that time where another year has passed. Although this year I feel like it has literally past in the blink of an eye and I have no idea where time has gone. So I decided it was time to have a sit down and think about all of my favourite products and other things of the past year.


Skin Care


Nivea Day Cream- This is a moisturising cream that I use, I really like the Nivea brand as I have said before in other posts that I have dry and sensitive skin, a lot of the creams out there just tend to just mess it up my skin and it`s a disaster. So, this day cream has to be part of my favourites for 2015.







Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily Face Wash - This is a really good skin cleanser, the fact that it contains micro-beads means that when you use it, it feels like you are actually getting all of the dirt and dead skin off, so it leaves a nice fresh clean feeling.











Simple Moisturising Facial Wash- As a brand I do like Simple as they don`t use a lot of the harsh chemicals that most other brands do in their products. Which is one of the reasons that this facial wash has to feature in my 2015.










Garnier Hand Repair- Hand creams are a big thing for me, I hate the feeling of dry hands. This Garnier hand cream is by far one of my 2015 favourites because it helps keep your hands hydrated even in winter without them feeling almost wet like most hand creams do.









Make-up

Revolution Eye Shadow Collection- This has to be one of my ultimate 2015 favourites it has 16 different shades, so you can create lots of different looks making it perfect for whatever the occasion.











Revlon Colour Stay- This is one of the top foundations that I tried out in 2015, this is my go to foundation, I like the coverage that it gives and you can easily work with it and build it up to suit whatever look you are going for.








Revlon Photoready BB Cream- this has to be one of my favourite BB creams, simply because it feels so light weight but still has amazing coverage. The formula of it gives it a pretty good consistency so it blends really well. 








Revlon Matte Lip Balm- I did a review on these in an earlier post which you can find here, but I felt the need to mention them again because I just absolutely love them. 









Maybelline Eraser Eye- This was one of the products that I picked up after a friend recommend it to me. I love it, I have it in the shade light to help combat the darkness, and the coverage that you get is really good. It comes in a tube with a sponge attached which makes it really easy to apply. 








Tanya Burr Eyebrow Palette- with this set you get 4 different colours, tweezers and a little brush. I really like this set and has to be one of my favourite eyebrow palettes. 










L`Oréal Lipstick- This is one of my favourite lipsticks, I did include it in one of my other post, but I just had to put it in here as it's by far my ultimate 2015 favourite product. I have some of the Eva collection and just love the shades that you get. 









Real Techniques Core Collection Brushes- I bought the core collection at some point last year and just loved them. The brushes are really good for powder as they are just so soft. I wrote a fully post dedicated to them which you can find here







Real Techniques Make Up Sponge- I bought this after I decided that I didn't like applying liquid foundation or concealers with brushes, this is part of my 2015 favourites because it works really well with applying liquids as well as with blending in make up to complete the look. 





Hair

GHD Hair Straighteners- After my old hair straighteners packed in I went out and bought some GHD`s, I must say they have to be part of my 2015 favourites because I think they just work really well. Normally it takes hours to straighten my hair, but not with these. 








Toni and Guy Leave In Conditioner- I use this  all the time after I was my hair, it helps to add 'strength' to the hair, as when I've just washed my hair it because too soft to do anything with. So by just adding a little but of the conditioner it helps to make the hair more manageable. 









Batiste Dry Shampoo- being cursed as an individual whose hair very rapidly starts to feel greasy particularly when it's down, this has been a little saviour in terms of just giving the hair a quick refresh, especially in the hectic mornings where there is just no time. It also smells really nice and leave the hair smelling just as good. 










TREsemmé Renewal Hair and Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner- this is the shampoo and conditioner that I used throughout 2015, I just love how soft and shiny it made my hair after I used it; it also smelled really nice. 





Other 

The Time Keeper  by Mitch Albom- this was one of the many books that I dead last year, it made my favourites list because I just loved the story and in a way it made me think more about how I use my time, the book is rather thought provoking. 







All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven- I love this book, once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The way it is written gives you an insight into both of the main characters, as she switches point of view throughout the story. So you get to see what both of them are really thinking. The characters are people that you can in some ways relate to.
