MY TOP 5 MAKEUP & SKINCARE ITEMS OF 2015


Since starting my blog in January, my makeup collection seemed to have grown more than I could’ve imagined. I’m sharing with you my top items that I have been loving this year…

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel: I have nothing to say about this other than you need it in your skincare routine. With my skin being duller than dull, this really helps to brighten it up in the mornings and leaves my skin feeling beautifully clean and moisturised. Obviously I’ve wrote a full review on it and you can read that here.

Benefit’s Roller Lash: I don’t know what I did before this mascara. I am a huge fan of Benefit and this mascara lifts and curls without leaving clumps. I use it every single day and it really stays on all day. I am currently on my third tube of it!

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow: After reading countless blog reviews on this, I decided to take the plunge and purchase it in June this year. It comes in this beautiful gold packaging with a mirror, gorgeous highlight and warm contour shade. I would definitely recommend, even though it was £49! Read my full review here.

Too Faced Melted Lipstick - Nude: This is a recent purchase as I only realised a couple of weeks ago that my local Debenhams stocked Too Faced (which is dangerous). The colour is so pigmented, lightweight and long wearing. The packaging is so pretty and I want every single colour!

TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer: Alongside my Filmstar Bronze & Glow, for everyday use I have been using the Mary Lou-Manizer from theBalm. It makes my cheek bones glow! Such great value for money. You can read my full review here.

    I absolutely love Too Faced’s Melted Lipsticks - I’ve got Melted Peony myself and it’s lovely!

    I’ll have to try that cleansing gel, it sounds amazing.

    Thanks for sharing your faves!

    All of these products look amazing. The Oskia cleanser sounds intriguing. The Too Faced lipstick also sounds like something I would try.

    Fab post lovely, some really great picks! I’ve been loving Roller Lash also and I agree it lifts without ever looking clumpy The CT Bronze and Glow is just so gorgeous and despite the high price tag I think it’s completely worth it My favourites from 2015 have to include the Gwen Stefani Palette and NYX Soft Matte Creams

    Oh I do love Mary Lou as well, it’s my favourite highlighter that I’ve found so far. CT Filmstar looks absolutely gorgeous - both the packaging and product. It almost looks too nice to use! xx

    Very nice blog.

    I couldn’t agree more on the Roller Lash front! Such an amazing product. You’ve tempted me with the Charlotte Tilbury bronze and glow. Do you think this is workable for all shades of skin as I’m super pale! I’ve personally been loving the Makeup Revolution Golden Sugar palette this year.

    Great post! I have been dying to try the Oskia cleansing gel for so long! Your review on it was very informative also. Would you say it is good for combination skin?

    Thanks for sharing these. My favorite would be the Silk Naturals range of skincare. I really like their Vitamin C product called Mama’s Helper (the name makes you feel good every time you use it!!!).

  • Nitta Notes

    Thanks for sharing your top picks! I’ve been wanting to try the Charlotte Tilbury.

  • Leslie Soto

    I want to try the Too Face Melted Lipstick so bad! I see a trip to Ulta in my future!! I’ve been hearing such good things about it.

    You did well to narrow it down to just 5! The melted lipstick is the only one of these products that I haven’t tried but I love the other products you mention too! Happy New Year! xx

    great picks for the 2015 I am still trying to decide what my items i used most are! great post

  • Samantha

    I am LOVING nude lip shades right now - I hate to say it, but I really want Kylie’s new lipkit (but don’t want to give her money…) but I found a similar shade to Dolce K called Daringly Nude by Mabelline - it’s awesome!!

  • bloggingthroughthemirror

    The mary lou manizer has become my best friend, it’s so glowy but doesn’t make you look oily. It’s the most perfect highlighter I’ve ever tried!
