So it's 2014 beauty favourites time! I'm very excited to write this post, especially as I've been reading so many 2014 favourite posts and watching loads of videos of 2014 beauty favourites. First off I thought I would mention the brilliant Colab Dry Shampoo by Ruth Crilly (review here). It's the best dry shampoo simply because it doesn't leave loads of white residue that clogs up your hair, instead it cleans your hair and gives it that boost that it needs after 2 or more days after properly washing your hair. Next is the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush(yes I know I didn't wash it before I took this photo, but we can handle that). I use this brush for contouring my cheeks(and sometimes my chin when I've eaten a tad to much haha). It's the perfect size as it fits under your cheek bones really well and it picks up the perfect amount of product, so you can never be heavy handed while using it. Real Techniques are by far the best brush brand, I really love their brushes.
Moving onto makeup, this year was all about the lip product for me. I really love lip products in general, but this year I found so many that I loved using. The Tanya Burr Cosmetics Lip Glosses are definitely the best lip glosses I tried to date for sure as they are really opaque, very moisturising, they smell gorgeous and they last a really long time on the lips. I did a review of one of them which you can check out here if you are intrigued. I have two colours: Aurora and Picnic In The Park. Aurora is more of a cooler and slightly purple toned pink shade, while Picnic In The Park is definitely more of a warm shade of pink. I really like both of them, I can't choose which colour I prefer.
I was lucky to win a mini giveaway back in the autumn and I won this Kiko Lip Gloss Pencil. This is a very unique product in my opinion as it has the staying power of a traditional lip crayon, but it goes on like a lip gloss. Once it settles down it goes matte and leaves you with a lovely nude shade that would compliment many skin tones. I'm so happy I won that product, though if I had a Kiko store near me I would definitely buy it myself.
Next up is the very exciting Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick (review here). These products have one of the best formulas ever! They apply soooo nicely onto the lips as the formula feels very soft and hydrating. Once you've applied two coats of this lip stain the colour will stay on all day without any budging what so ever. I have two colours: 04 Peach Club and 09 Happy Nude Year (love the name of that one!) Peach Club on me actually comes out a bright red/coral because I already have very pigmented pink lips, but it's still a nice colour, while Happy Nude Year is more of a slightly brighter everday pink and I am loving this right now, it's a beautiful colour!
Last but not least is an eyeshadow that I've rediscovered during 2014. It's the stunning L'Oreal Color Infaillible eyeshadow in 021 Sahara Treasure. This is the perfect antique gold colour as it's not too yellow in tone so it's a very wearable shade of gold. If you want to add a hint of it, pop it in the centre of your eye, if you want to wear it all over the lid it creates that perfect metallic eye look.
I really hope you enjoyed reading my 2014 beauty favourites, what were your beauty favourites of 2014?

So I knew that I already had enough lipsticks to probably last me a lifetime, but I have wanted to try this new Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick for soooo long now that I had to cave in and buy it. I didn't know what shade I wanted to try, so I went for 04 Peach Club. Now because of the name I thought that this would be a typical peach colour with perhaps a bit more brightness to it as these liquid lipsticks are known to have almost all bright shades in their range. However I was slightly shocked when the colour actually came out as more of a light orange/red peachy colour. It was a good shock though, not a bad shock as I really like bright lipsticks but I was still pretty surprised at the whole situation haha.
In terms of application it goes on really well. It's easy to apply. You can apply one coat for a slightly less in your face colour or you can apply two or more for a really strong in your face kind of colour. The applicator is like a typical lip gloss applicator which makes it easy to put it on your lips, so you can get the colour as precise as you want it to be. A word of warning though, as these dry matte and stain your lips, if you make a mistake clear it up as soon as possible otherwise you will be stuck with that mistake for pretty much the rest of the day if you have nothing to clear it up with. Like I said it's very long lasting. I'd say it lasts for a good 6 to 8 hours, but sometimes a tiny bit of it can be seen on your cup of tea, or whatever but apart from that it doesn't really budge from your lips. A tip of mine would be to put lip balm on before hand but don't apply the lipstick straight away, leave it for around twenty minutes or so, then you won't loose the matte look you will get once you've applied the lipstick on top. However even if you don't put lip balm on, this product is surprisingly soft on the lips and so it doesn't feel like you are wearing a matte long lasting lip product, but of course you are! This is such a brilliant product and I think it's actually my favourite makeup product of the year so far. I may have to buy another shade of it. I really, really love it!
I really hope you enjoyed this review. What do you think of these Bourjois liquid lipsticks?
See you soon xxx
