It gives a beautiful light to medium finish .I have a full review which I link it down below.

Concealer

Mac prolong wear concealer

 

 I really enjoy applying this concealer under my eyes.I don't have dark circles so I am not looking for something to cover up heavily .The reason that I apply a concealer is to brighten up  under my a little and this concealer does a good job and lasts very long without sinking in to fine lines.

Thia is a mechanical eyeliner so no need for sharpening .It has been my only eyeliner kohl that I use for my waterline for years.I tried so many before ,But this one is the only one that doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and also stay put in my water line all day.

Eye Shadow

 

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

 

This has been my most used eyeshadow palette in the year 2014.I love the colors and I don't think I need to say anything about the quality since everybody probably knows urban decay makes fabulous eye shadows.

Mac Eye Shadows

 

From left to right :Up;Wood winked,Sable.Down;All that glitter,Satin taupe

For the individual shadow I loved and used my mac eyeshadows more than the others.Mac eye shadows have great quality ,very pigmented and lots of color and finishes to choose from.These four are my most used in 2014.


For mascara I can't choose one that I used the most or loved the most in 2014.I change my mascara every 3 month and I really don't have a favorite to choose from between mascaras that I used last year that performed better than the others.How ever mascara that I am using right now has become an absolute favorite which technically doesn't count for 2014.So stay tuned for full review !

Lips

Lip Balm

Nivea Lip Butter Lip Balm Vanilla and Macadamia

This is my favorite lip balm.It makes my lips super soft specially in cold and dry Canadian winter!
I've gone through so many ,and I will always repurchase it.

Lipsticks 

None Drugstore

 Mac Lipsticks

 

From left to right: Please me(matte),Fanfare(cream sheen),Angle(Frost)

Cream Cup(Cream sheen),Pure Zen(Cream sheen),Syrup(luster)

 I have always been a big fan of mac lipsticks and in 2014 they won the prize again.There are different finishes, so many beautiful colors to choose from. The longevity is good and price point is good as well.I have so many different colors but I reached for these shades more than the others last year.

 

  Drugstore

 Milani Color Statement Lipstick

 

These are my two favorite of the bunch: Fruit punch and Nude cream

There are so many great lipsticks in drugstore ,how ever I will give the trophy to milani lipsticks.They are super creamy,very pigmented.The longevity is very good and I also like the scent of them ,They have a watermelon scent.My only complain is that I wish they come up with more colors ,specially light color ,like light peach,light muted pink ,lilac,and etc...

 

These were my most loved makeup products last year.I hope you enjoyed reading the post. Stay tuned for none Beauty favorites of 2014

2014 favorite hair and Skin care products

Hi

Today I am sharing my most used and most favorite hair & skincare products in 2014 with you .I will not explain too much about each product to prevent it to be a long and boring post ,however I will write a very short review about them.
I will share my favorites makeup and also favorite none beauty related products of 2014 in 2 separate blog post.So stay tuned ! :)

Let's get started;

Skincare:

I tried so many different skincare products last year in search of the one that works best for me .I liked or even loved some and also I didn't like a few , but these are what I loved the most!

Anti Aging Products:

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II     

I apply this serum only at night after cleaning and toning my face and I see noticeable results with it more than any other serum that I have used. It made changes in terms of fine lines ,large pores and overall look of my skin.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex II

 

 This eye cream absolutely has been the best eye cream I have ever used and when I use up all the other eye creams that I already own,I will defiantly will purchase this one.I had a sample size of it and I applied it for about 2 months and It completely transformed the skin under my eyes to younger and smoother looking skin.

NUXE 

Nuxellence Jeunesse
BRIGHTENING YOUTH CARE

NUXE 

Nuxellence Jeunesse
BRIGHTENING YOUTH CARE

This is a fluid, more like a lotion kind of serum not watery.It has a divine scent . It is paraben free and 87% of the ingredient is natural.

This fluid which I apply in the morning after cleansing all over my face and neck has a beautiful luxurious texture that absorbs in the skin like a dream without leaving your skin greasy .It makes my skin so soft and smooth and as the brand claims it give a beautiful velvety finish which is fantastic for under makeup.

RoC RETIN-OX CORREXION Nourishing Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream 

RoC RETIN-OX CORREXION line has been my favorite for years and last year this was and still is my most favorite night cream . It moisturizes and plumps up the skin .When I wake up in the morning my skin is fresh ,soft and smooth.It has great anti-aging and moisturizing ingredients like Retinol and Hayluronic Acid.

 

Skin Exfoliators

•  Paula's choice Resist Daily Pore-Refining Treatment With 2% BHA 

• Paula's choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant

   

I've been loving these two exfoliator last years .I use them together twice  a week at night to clear out my pores and exfoliating my skin.They make my skin super soft and fresh and ever since I use these 2 I had almost no break outs!

Resist Advanced Kit for Wrinkles + Breakouts - Advanced Kit

Cleanser,Makeup remover and Toner

LacomeCrème Mousse Confort

 

This cream cleanser has been fabulous to my skin last year and still is.I apply it on wet skin and message it ,it turns into a creamy foam and cleans every thing beautifully without drying out my skin.
This cleanser deeply cleans my pores and I use it only at night.

 

Body Shop Tea Tree Cool & Creamy Wash

 

This is another cream cleanser I have been loving last year. I clean my face with this one in the morning.It is very soothing and gentle enough for morning time that I don't have any makeup on. 

Thayers Alcohol Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner    This alcohol free toner refreshes and hydrates the skin ,It has a nice rose water scent and  I absolutely love it.I have been using and loving this toner more than any other last year.   Estee Lauder Take It Away Gentle Eye and Lip Long Wear Makeup Remover   Boy it is a mouthful name,Isn't it? I used to love Bioderma  Sensibio H2o makeup remover but last year I noticed it doesn't remove my eye make up completely so I tried Estee Lauder Take It Away and I loved it.It removes all of my eye makeup without irritating my sensitive eyes and I feel this one removes every kind of eye makeup(water proof or none water proof)faster,easier and better that Bioderma . Hair care Products: Chi Ionic color protector system Shampoo and Conditioner   I always switch my shampoo and conditioner but Chi Ionic color protector shampoo and conditioner has been my most used and most loved and I always switch back to them. They prevent my hair color from fading and keep the color nice and shiny longer and also keep my hair smooth and hydrated.   Rusk Thermal serum   I always apply a heat protector on my hair before styling ,however every heat protecting spray that I tried dried out my hair after a while ,So I tried this heat protecting serum that has oily consistency and has pure argan oil. I love this serum .you can apply it on wet or dry hair.It makes my hair very silky and when I use it before curling my hair even though it is an oily serum surprisingly it keeps the curl nice very long and my hair is completely frizz free since I use it.I only apply a dime size on my hair and I only apply it on my hair ears down .   And Last but not least: Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment   This oil treatment has been my one and only favorite oil treatment for years and 2014 was no exception! It  is a great product.Not only it hydrates my hair and keeps it healthy looking and shiny it also repairs the damaged hair and brings it back to life. These are My most used and most loved hair and skin care products of the year 2014.I hope you enjoyed reading this post.
