My Favorites of the Year, What I've Been Loving!

Hi everyone!
Yes I'm still alive, I know I've been lazy/busy/any other lame excuse and have been neglecting this little bloggeroonie but I've kicked myself in the bum and getting back into the groove of blogging...Yaaaaayyy!! hahaha I honestly don't know if anyone reads my blogs but for the handful of people that my computer tells me do, thank you! It really does make me feel honoured that someone somewhere took the time to wander on to my little corner of the Internet. (Computer hugs from me to you! :D )
Okay onto business! I have comprised a list of all my top favourite makeup/perfumes and other random loves of mine that have blossomed this year and put them all in one place for you to have a peek! Enjoy!!
PS: These are listed in no particular order :P

#1: Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker

My beautiful cousin just bought this for me as an early Chrissy present last week, and I am looooving it! It is a very classic, sweet, musk, vanilla scent, and the strength and staying power is amazing! One or two sprays and you are good to go all day long! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!

 

#2 Rimmel: Colour Show Off Lipstick - 110 Gossip Pink

I am so in love with this Rimmel Lipstick I just bought, first of all I have to say it smells AMAZING! Like a whole watermelon is exploding out of the tube! hehe Second of all the consistency and pigmentation is so smooth and bright, what you see is definitely what you get here! It is so moist, smooth and creamy like a lip balm but not sticky or too wet that it would bleed. I am a huge fan! The only problem is I wish I had found this range sooner and bought them all, they are unfortunately discontinued. :( PS: Isn't the packaging sexy! :p

#3 Revlon Scented Nail Polish in Mon Cherry

When I first saw this range of scented nail polishes I was not convinced. But I was on Ozsale.com and they had a Revlon sale, I think it was like $3 a bottle so I figured hey why not give it a shot. It actually does smell like cherries :D but only once it has dried, it's fast drying and a gorgeous colour. The smell lasts for a few days even after showering etc. It is pretty chip resistant even after working all day using my hands. But like any polish wont last forever. I just ordered 4 new scents, so I will write up a review for those when they arrive. :D I recommend this polish for the novelty value, but try and get it on sale! I wouldn't pay full price.

 

#4 Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara

This mascara came in a freebie pack that I got with other Rimmel purchases I made recently. It is not water proof so I was not expecting it to be something I would use. But honestly, I wear it almost every day now! It is beautiful, it instantly doubles or triples your lashes as if you instantly just grew a tonne of lashes right out of your own lash line, it lengthens and separates each lash, there is no clumping. A truly beautiful mascara! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

#5 John Frieda: Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray

 I wrote a review on this product earlier, if you are naturally blonde and wanting to gradually lighten your colour for a very natural look, this is the product for you! I am so happy with the results of this product, after the 1st use I could see results. Big thumbs up for this product!! Check out this post for a more in depth review:

 

#6 Essence Mosaic Compact Powder

Clearly I love this product, and need to get a new one soon hehe. This is a beautiful bronzer, it has a yummy coconut scent that you just wanna eat, the colour is really nice on my skin, not too orange, it is very silky and looks beautiful on the skin, it is or almost matte. Best of all I think it only cost's about $5 to $10. If you want an affordable, bronzer that goes on perfectly not too dark or light, easy to blend and smells great this is the one for you!

Conclusion

I have many more loves from this year including my recycled milk bottle body sponge from the body shop to my Natio anti ageing skin care products, but so that this post doesn't go on forever I will spare you. :D I hope you will try some of these products, or if you have some already comment below and let me know what you think, maybe you want to share some of your beauty loves this year so I can give them a try! I would love to hear from you.

Have a fantastic day!!

Love Em xx
