Hey
and welcome back to my blog. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas, and have a happy new year, how is it even New Years Eve already this is beyond crazy
So this Post will be on my favorite beauty products throughout 2015, so lets get started
Skin Care
My skin care routine had always been the same, but this year I had a few really bad breakouts, and I changed up my skin care routine.
I would take my makeup off with the Clean and Clear Facial Cleansing wipes, which took pretty much 99% of my makeup off. Even waterproof mascara. 
I then use the Clean and Clear makeup dissolving foaming cleanser. Its oil free and when I wash my face using this it pretty much makes my face feel AMAZING. It gets right in to the pores, gets rid of any makeup that may have been left behind, and it is also a good product for cleaning my makeup brushes 
To finish off my skin routine I use the Neutogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator. It works the best product like this I have used and I have used two or three others. What I like about this product is that every time you buy the pad things you get a new head that it sticks to. On the box it says softer more luminous skin in just one use and it really dose work. I cant rave about this so much. My skin feels so healthy after using it
Foundations
For me this year I wanted to try new foundations, and I tried a lot of them, some were good, some were not so good. But the Maybeline Super stay Better Skin is really good. It goes on so smoothly. I am a big fan of foundations that have a pump, I find for me that I regulate how much I use. This foundation made my skin glow.
My all time favorite foundation for the last three years has been the Wake me Up Foundation, people everywhere were raving about this at the time, and it has since died down, but it is a firm favorite through out the year. The smell was the first thing that I noticed when I first picked it up, and they recently changed the formula and it doesn't have the same smell, but works just as well. Its the first one that I recommend to people.
Eye Products
The next 4 products are all Rimmel London products and a big staple in my everyday make up routine. The Mascara's are the best I have found in the last few years, they work amazingly well for me and I love how versatile they all are yet work wonders for my lashes. The Liquid liner looks nothing special but is the only one that I have found from any make up line, including other Rimmel liquid liner that works
Lips
I was never really a big fan of lipstick, and if I am honest would always be the one product that I would never put on to my face until the Kate Moss range from Rimmel, I prefer the Red packaging of the lipsticks especially shades 101-104, they have a beautiful finsih to them that complete any look.

Concealer
Cover Girls Ready Set Gorgeous is one of those products that I have a love hate relationship with but for the most part this year I have been loving it. I didn't like the foundation but found the concealer works better with other foundations
Setting Powder and Primer
The Stay Matte Setting Powder, and the Stay Matte Primer are the ones that I have been reaching for a lot this year, I have gone through what seems like millions of them. I still have quite a few left of them as there was a sale on them, I have found they were the ones that suited my skin tone, made my make up stay on longer, and just over all look nicer
Brushes
This year I have used 3 brushes and a sponge religoulsy to apply my makeup and I couldnt be happier with the results. I always throught that brushed were a waste of time and money, until I used the Real Techniques. I would be lost without any of my Real Techniques brushes but these three were a god send to me this year.
The Multi Purpose one I use for my setting powder, and its brilliant for it. I love how big it is
The buffing brush is a god sent for me, I am not the best at applying my foundation - even though I have been wearing make up for over half my life - but the brush is great at just buffing out the imperfections.
I will start my whole foundation routine with the stippling brush or the sponge and I have had bad experiences with other brands of stippling brushes but I love Real Techniques stippling brush
If you could see my sponge right now its absolutely filthy because I use it so much, but I love it. I suggest it for anyone, and what is so good about this one is that you can use it dry or wet
Hair
My hair is the bane of my life, its fried from all the hair dying that I have done, and all the times I straighten it. These products have really made the whole difference in my routine
The heat protector is one of the best that I have found, most make my hair look really greasy even though I have just washed it and this the bom, and it smells Amazing Schwarzkopf Got2B Guardian Angel is the best
Marc Anthony Deep Conditioner has saved my hair this year and is really recomended, There are three of them. I use one once a week and I always change it up, and my hair feels so nice, and it last longer then I ever thought they would, and longer then when I use regular conditioner
Well that's it for my favorites of 2015, I hope you all had an amazing New Years Eve, what ever you did, and that 2016 brings you all the joy and happiness that you all deserve
