So first of all I made it a goal of mine to reach 10,000 views on my blog by the end of 2014 and ........I reached 10,500 LAST NIGHT!!!!
Thank you so much to everyone for all your nice comments and support throughout the year it means so much.
Over the last year I have purchased a crazy amount of beauty products which were both good and well...not so good!
I find reading reviews online an excellent way of researching a product before buying it especially if it is an investment and lets face it being a student you don't want to be spending your money on bad products.
Remember : Especially with skincare products reviews online are great but everyone has unique skin...what works for me may not work for you.
These are my top favourite beauty products of 2014.......Enjoy <3
Product 1: The Naked 3 Palette by Urban Decay Cosmetics
I don't know about you guys but between college,work and socialising I just never seem to have a set time to sit down and do my makeup.
When im in college my routine during the week allows me to sit down and take my time doing it but other than that I am constantly on the go.
The Naked 3 palette has been my go to Palette for the year and im sure for 2015 also.
Its range of 12 shades allows me to create looks for both day and night with the help of not only the beautiful shades but also the two sided brush which comes in the palette also.
Product 2 :St Ives Apricot Scrub
So for pretty much all my teenage life I had hormonal acne which resulted in me being extremely conscious of my skin.I tried and tested a huge amount of products and the majority didn't work but finally I have my skin under control.
As a result of many years of problematic skin I have found having a strict skin system and healthy diet your skin will love you.
Dont get me wrong my skin isn't perfect but I don't know if any girl is ever 100% satisfied with how she looks especially with no makeup on .
The St Ives Apricot scrub has been my go to face exfoliator for a couple of months now and I have to say the results were amazing even after my first use.
As you can see from the picture about there are small grains which give a smooth finish to your skin.
How often do I use it ?
I generally know by my skin if it needs to be exfoliated especially if I have worn makeup every day that week as your pores can be blocked (gross I know ).
On average I use this 3/4 times a week.
Product 3:ESTEE LAUDER Double Wear Foundation
So I did a review of this foundaion a couple of months ago and yes I am still OBSESSED!

Product 4: Wet n Wild Concealer Palette
So being someone who is prone to a breakout I am extremely careful what products I put on my face.When I made the move to Galway for college I came across Cara Pharmacy which let me tell you has literally everything in it you need and you are always guaranteed to find a bargain.
This concealer palette is perfect for your everyday makeup as it allows you to......
- Cover
- Highlight
- Brighten
- and Neutralize
Product 5 :Nadur Skincares Beeswax Lip Therapy
I find particularly in the cold Winter months my lips become extremely dry, as a result I always purchase a good lip balm (lip therapy) in order to keep my lips nourished and hydrated.
This Beeswax Lip Therapy by Nedur skincare (Irish made ) has kept my lips feeling nothing but smooth and nourished over the last few months.
