Now for a few honourable mentions for products that I have also loved during 2014 but didn't quite make the final cut:
Firstly, the Sewlomax makeup bags! I have three of them and I took one of them on holiday with me back in august and I loved using it! Also the Bare Minerals Mineral Veil, Clarins Extra Comfort Foundation and the Essence Nail Polish Corrector Pen have been fantastic long term favourites!
What are your 2014 makeup/nail favourites? Have you tried any of the products I have mentioned?
I totally need to get onto trying more Beauty products this year as I have barely tried any, wowwwwww!! I love sewlomax so much, I have about three bags too and they are adorable xx
