2014 has been a long year, but I'm ready to say good-bye and say hello to 2015.

Another year has gone by and another day older, my how life is short.

Ok, Ok, enough of the sentimental stuff.

These products were my staples in 2014, that I would use everyday and probably use for the first part of 2015 until they run out. Not only do these products give amazing results and "staying" powers, they have helped me with many things, more confidence, and most of all have made me happy. Most men wouldn't understand how that one special product that you fall in love with can change you, can make you happy (yea were crazy) so this is my acknowledgement to those special, favorite products that's helped me along the way. "A GIRLS BEST FRIEND" products my favorite products.....

• A - TRUE  Himalaya Black Tea Watery Gel Cream

 Himalaya Black Tea Watery Gel Cream - This cream hydrates and plumps my skin up after one application. I fell madly in love with this products after the first use. It gives results and it does it quick - Ive been trying to find the larger version, but no luck so far.I apply this 3 times a week in the afternoon

• DEL*SKIN Cantella90 Power Ampoule

If you have sensitive skin like myself this ampoule works wonders. I tend to pick at my skin for faint imperfections and when I do, leaves a lot of redness, and or if you have a pimple and have a lot of redness around it, this ampoule get's rid of it. I do have lightly damaged skin so this works wonders and has actually made my skin sooo much better, its good even if you don't have damaged skin because it strengthens it to prevent damage. I apply this twice a week in the morning.

• THE SKIN HOUSE Lavender Lightening Emulsion

This emulsion smells exactly like lavender and has a nice lightweight texture, its non oily so after you apply it, it absorbs quickly into your skin without any residue or stickiness which I love because I think most of us women do not like all that stickiness on our face especially if we have to apply makeup after - it lightens skin while moisturizing which is a perfect combination, miracle in a bottle I call it. It's a must have product.

• MAKE UP FOREVER Mist & Fix

MUF Mist & Fix is a definate MUST HAVE after you've applied your makeup. Its lightweight, non sticky and moisturizes  while keeping your makeup in place. It also gives your skin a nice glow. I ALWAYS use this after applyinh my makeup so I don't have to worry about applying more makeup in a couple of hours. I swear my makeup lasted over 6 hours of partying and it still looked the same from when I applied it. Its that amazing. This 30mL bottle was 15$ CDN.

• C+M Anti Spots & Freckles Intensive Whitening Cream

Stops melanin from producing and gets rid of dark spots and aging spots in under 2 weeks after using twice a day. This stuff is VERY hard to find and is usually out of stock because it really works and provides results very quickly! - This is a great product to have on hand at all times if you want to brighten your skin quickly.

• TOO FACED Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick

I got this in "Peony" - a light pink with high gloss. I throw this on usually in the afternoon to give my face some extra color . Its a bit sticky but that's ok because it has a great hold for a few hours.

• BATISTE Dry Shampoo Big & Bouncy XXL Volume

Days when I just don't have time to take a bath/shower and or my hair is really really flat with no volume I spray this all over my roots to give me some extra volume. Its quite amazing and it holds well, its like a hairspray/dry shampoo in one. How can you not have this?!!

• URBAN DECAY Pulp Fiction Eyeshadow Palette

Urban Decay is known for a lot of fallout but the quality is outstanding. The colors are thick and vivid with the best hold I have ever had in a very long time. I've tried a lot of eye shadows in the past and Urban Decay is the best one on the market (IMO) This palette is a neutral/smoky look in which you can obtain, which is why I use it everyday.  Another great beauty staple to have which won't over whelm because there's only 5 colors in it, along with a mini brush, and a mirror

• SEPHORA Divergent Makeup Palette

Rich in pigments, I use this palette mainly for contouring my face and for blush. The bronzer is stunning and not too over whelming, and the blush is a darker rose color, which I use everyday.

So there you have it! - My favorite staples I used pretty much every day for 2014 or the last half of 2014 - All of these will be hard to part with if I find something new or when I run out of it. If you don't have any of these already, I suggest you check them out. There ones not to be missed. I'm very picky with products, so these will not disappoint.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

Sweet Dreams Deluxe Best Seller's Collection

Hubby got me this as one of the several stocking stuffer's he gave me, yay was I ever excited!

This is the "Sweet Dreams Deluxe Best Sellers Collection" by Tarte. I was in "awwww" when I saw the cheek stain lid embellished with pearls, its so darling! so I told my hubby about it and he picked it up :)

This cute little set comes with  

• Tarte's Maracuja Oil 0.23 oz
• Maracuja C - Brighter Eye Treatment 0.08 oz
•  Cheek Stain in "Dreamy" 0.17 oz

They are deluxe samples, not full sized and this set was 23$ CDN.

 The sizes are deluxe, but you can get about 5-10 uses per product, which I think is ok, I mean we all know Sephora is expensive, so this little set is good if your on a budget or would like to sample it out before paying full price.

I've never tried the maracuja C-brighter eye treatment, but I excited to try it because Tarte has recently been getting into skincare products which is nice because they do not test there products on animals, and these day's its scarce to find skin care products NOT tested on animals.

The cheek stain in "Dreamy" is a rose - gold - (Pinky/nude), it glides on very sheer to a shimmer, its barely noticeable on my skin so the swatch didn't show up. This is more for very faint highlights on the cheek bone and can be used on your eyebrow bone. 

The set is darling, and its a nice add on to your collection.

 Can you believe this?????

Urban Decay has released a Pulp Fiction Eyeshadow palette!! *dies* (no pun intended)

I don't know weather or not I should buy this or what. I'm in complete girly, butterflies in my stomache .. SHOCK!!
As I was stalking Sephora's website like a lion in heat, I came across this!! Its on retail for 41$

I grew up watching Pulp Fiction every other day with my bestie in grade school, and its my favorite movie EVER!!

 It looks so delicious!! I'd put this baby on a shrine and call it Jesus if it we're politically correct.

 The color's - the light brown's are not my thing, but Mia , those color's look like the ones she wore in the movie....

Too buy or not too buy???

Dior Addict

It Lash

UPDATE- I tried purchasing all 4 colors, but you have to be a VIB to purchase this product.. Umm thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. (SEPHORA.COM)

Dior Addict has come out with a new mascara, called "Dior Addict - It Lash"

There are four colors

It - Pink -  It Purple -  It Blue - It Black

What it is:
A sensational mascara formula with volume, length, and addictive, vibrant color for fabulous impact.

What it does:
Dior Addict It-Lash mascara creates long and curved, doe-like lashes as it coats for a smooth, radiant finish. The formula is supple and easy to layer for intense volume, and it becomes insoluble after it dries for long-wearing color—thanks to its unique latex gel polymer. The chubby mascara brush and easy-to-use handle makes this mascara super wearable, and allow it to coat lashes simultaneously along the full length and the entire fringe area.

What else you need to know:
This formula is water soluble, making it easy to rinse and remove with lukewarm water.

Suggested Usage:
-Load the lashes with the rounded end, concentrating on roots to create a liner effect.
-Use the brush to coat lashes from roots to tips.
-Give an extra push to each of the corner lashes to create a doe-eyed effect.

 There is only one available currently on SEPHORA.COM

which is the IT-BLACK. The other colors are "coming soon"

In the meantime you can sign up to Sephora's email when its in stock.

You can also receive a sample when you spend 35$ or more on orders with code

DIORITLASH at the checkout


I'm really excited to purchase all 4 colors!
This mascara is definately fit for a Queen.

"All I Want For Christmas"

Eye shadows - Blush Palette 

I know this palette was released before the Christmas holidays of 2013 but I've been using it everyday since , that I figured I would do a review! First off this is a limited edition palette from the "ALL I want for Christmas"  Favorites from Sephora. I received this as a Xmas gift from my husband <3

There's 3 colors. The first two on the left are eyeshadows, one is a china bone color the other is bronzer, well I've been using the bottom one as a bronzer but, I guess its for you're eye's. I actually just figured that out last night lol, the last one on the right is a blush. Its a nice pinky peachy color, that I use for my everyday look. The thing I just noticed is that this palette "clumps" as you can see in the photo. Not sure what that's all about?

 

Here are the swatches, in order.
There all very nice and light for an everyday natural look, which is why I use it EVERDAY. But It's time for a change soon, as this little palette is NOT running out anytime soon. Mixed emotions.

Im not sure if you can buy these anymore, but if you can, don't pay more than 50$.


Rating 3.4/5

Divergent Cosmetics

Palette

 

 

Ok so, I heard about the Divergent Collector's Kit before it was released, but just recently I started looking into it again because I forgot the release date. I figured I would do something shopping on Sephora.ca but when I found the collector's kit, it was ... sold out :(

I'm very disappointed that I missed out on the first release, and I'm soooo hoping that release more sometime soon! The color's look amazing, and I heard great reviews about this kit, that I'm dying to get my hands on it! I looked around to see if they had a sign up option to be the first to know when they release more, but unfortunately that's not an option. I guess I will just have to keep checking back. 71$ is a steal for this kit!!! and I can't wait to spend every last nickel on it.

Did you purchase the Divergent collector's kit??
