2015 Best in Beauty Awards
Here we are at the end of 2015 and my collection of beauty bits and bobs has continued to expand at an alarming rate with so many wonderful new releases, repurchases and items sent to me for review.
Ive enjoyed the ride this year, feeling a little more at ease with what I am trying to achieve over here at Lipstick ‘n’ Linguine. We’ve moved address, updated our layout and tried really hard to keep things looking nice and crisp
So, here is the last post of 2015. What I have curated here is a collection of all the things that have really caught my attention and proven to be the best of what I own this year. Some bits are new to the world, some are new to me and others have stood the test of time to continue to be my favourite.
Ive posted about most of these products here before so there wont be too much more to say about them but Ill be sure to link these products to their posts so you can get all the details.
Best Foundation ItCosmetics CC+ Cream
Best Eyeshadow Palette – Lorac Pro Palette
The LORAC Pro Palette is by no means a new eyeshadow palette, but it is in my opinion one of the best ever made and the one I have reached for more than any other. The shadows are buttery smooth, the shades immensely pigmented and blendable and varied enough to be used by all skin tones.
Best primer/base – MAC Strobe Cream
While MAC Strobe Cream is not exclusively a primer it is an excellent product to use under your foundation, mixed in with foundation or used n bare skin to give a beautiful radiance. I love using it to sheer out foundation! You can read more about Strobe cream here.
Best concealer – Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Corrector
Favourite Blush _ Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour blush
Theyre pretty, cruelty free and long lasting, there is nothing more to say. Other than check out this post giving more details
Best Brow Product Benefit Gimme Brow and BrowZings
Best body product – Jergens BB Body balm
I repurchased this product so many times this year. Not only did it moisturise my body well but it also provided the tiniest amount of coverage which helped to conceal patchy tan and dry spots on my skin. Its readily available in Priceline and at a very affordable price point
Favourite mascara – Benefit Roller Lash
Best eyeliner – Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper
The Kat Von D Tattoo Liner has a fine tip, a thin, easy to hold pen and a great formula. The liner does not flake or fade throughout the day and is intensely pigmented for the perfect wing.
Best highlighter – Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector
Favourite nail art – Pink sprinkle donuts!
While I usually focussed on the best nail colour of the year, Ive decided this time to focus on my favourite manicure of the year and in between ombre nails, glitters, stamping, galaxy nails, dotting and decals I really found that my favourite was one of the easiest. The gorgeous donut sprinkle mani. See more here.
Favourite hair care system _ Bhave
I fell in love with the bhave range of shampoo and conditioners earlier this year and have come to the end of my stash! Read all about the products here.
Best High End Lipstick – Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme
To die for. From the super luxe packaging, to the super creamy and pigmented long wearing colours. You need these in your life. Read all about them here.
Best drugstore lipstick – Maybelline Color Drama Lip Velvet Pencils
These lip pencils have unbelievable pigment and a creamy texture. If you haven’t tried these yet I strongly urge you to give them a go because I have a feeling that they may not be part of a permanent range. See all the shades here
Favourite perfume – Bottega Veneta Knot
Everything about this fragrance is luxurious, from the heavy glass bottle to the gilded knot on the top. It clean and very floral (think white flowers like gardenia) while also having quite strong citrus notes.
Best face mask – Origins Drink Up Intensive
I picked this up in Hawaii earlier this year ( read more about my haul here) This mask is one of the best Ive ever tried. Used a few times a week it helps to keep skin supple. I apply a thin layer before bed and wake up with skin ready for makeup! It has a lovely botanical fragrance and a handy tube ( I hate dipping my fingers into skincare)
Favourite in shower product – LUSH Snow Fairy
Favourite multi use skincare – Bioderma
Unless you are a complete beauty newbie you will know about this stuff; part makeup remover, part skin cleanser and skin treatment Bioderma is one of the biggest selling beauty items in France. You can read more about it here.
Best treatment skincare – Alpha H Liquid Gold
Best Make Up Tool _ ItCosmetics Heavenly Luxe Powder brushes
