The year 2014 has been a great one, and in order to celebrate its ending, I have created a very special fashion and beauty list. From spring to summer, cheap to expensive and from hair care to face care, here is what I think the top ten beauty products of 2014 are:
1. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence ($165): Now this product may be a little pricy, but its results are simply incredible. The facial treatment works to refresh and moisturize skin through skin cell renewal. Enriched with Pitera, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and organic acids, even just a daily application will make your complexion glow.
2. Sephora Micro Smooth Baked Bronzer Duo ($24): This set is great for individuals who are either beginners, or don’t want to go full Kim Kardshian with their contouring and highlighting. With a wide variety of shades and a cream base, this palette is suitable for many different skin types.
3. Revlon ColorBurst Matte and Lacquer Balms ($7): With ten new standout shades, the new Revlon ColorBurst crayons are great for many different occasions. These lip crayons give great moisture, long lasting colour and are extremely lightweight.
4. Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil ($20): This oil has multiple purposes; it can be used for the treatment of skin, hair and nails. Organically grown in Morocco and rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, this oil will help treat split ends, soften cuticles and hydrate skin.
5. Jordana Best Volume Extreme Volumizing Mascara ($4): Firstly, the price is almost as notable as the product itself! This mascara holds your lashes curl and provides volume to the max. It also prevents clumps and separates every last lash. Besides, at such a great price, how could you go wrong?
6. Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray ($18): This hairspray is amazing for creating beachy and windswept textures. The saltwater based formula creates volume and hold – perfect for an ‘effortless’ look.
7. Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette ($64): This palette features twelve beautiful rose-hued neutral shades. The set also comes with a double-ended brush, a mirror and an eye shadow primer potion sample. With shades ranging from shimmery pink to deep black matte, these shadows prove to be quite versatile.
8. Dior Addict Lip Glow ($35): This is not only a sheer lip balm that moisturizes, but it enhances your natural lip colour as well. Made with colour reviver technology, this balm will react with the chemistry of your lips to create a special shade. The Lip Glow will also last all day, with an additional SPF-10 to help protect.
9. NARS Digital World Lip Pencil Coffret ($56): With an actual value adding up to about 96$, this set gives a versatile range of lip pencils. Filled with five velvet matte and satin lip pencils, this package is perfect for those special holiday looks.
10. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow ($23): I personally love this product. The smudge free and waterproof formula helps create long lasting, clean and defined eyebrows. The Dipbrow is ideal for those who have oily skin types or for those who live in humid climates.
