I love that brush! Already bought it 1-2 years ago or else I would've included it in my list.

Oh, and I totally forgot the Hourglass powder. Edited my list to add it.

I love that brush it makes foundation application a breeze. I can't believe I didn't get it sooner! I also want to try the Tom Ford Cream Foundation Brush. I've heard really great things about it.

I love lists like this. It's like peeping in on someones makeup table

My list is kinda boring since i'm such a product devotee, once I really love something I just really run it into the ground. Maybe 2015 I'll focus on trying more new things. For reference I'm a NC20-25 Redhead with Brown eyes.

Blush:
*MAC Sea me Hear me
*MAC Cheeky Bugger
*Jordana Touch of pink

Brozers:
*MAC Golden, I have actually rarely used bronzer before this year. I just didn't really know how to use it. I had just been using Nyx Taupe for contouring but I really fell in love with Golden. I know some say it can look sort of orange but on me it adds just the right amount of warmth on my face. Love it!


Highlighters:
*MAC Whisper of Gilt

*Hard Candy Tiki Bronzer

Finishing Powders:
*Ben Nye Banana Powder for my under eye concealer
*MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural for all over
*MAC Blot Powder for touch ups in my t zone throughout the day

Eyeshadow Palettes:
*My MAC unfinished 15 palette has a bunch of beautiful neutrals
*Urban Decay Naked 3
*My Inglot personalized 10 pan
*Wet N Wild Comfort Zone
I'm so boring when it comes to eyeshadows. Wish I had the guts to go bold!

Lipssticks:
*MAC Viva Glam V
*MAC Taupe
*MAC Honey Love
*MAC Shy Girl
*Revlon Cherries in the snow
*Revlon Siren
*Revlon Fire and Ice

Concealers:
*MAC Select Cover Up
*Revlon Photo Ready
*Maybelline Fit Me

Lipglosses:
*Nyx Butter Gloss in Eclair
*MAC Nymphette
*Revlon Nude Luster

Lipbalm:
*Smiths Mocha Rosebud Salve
*EOS's for under lipstick

Mascara:
*Jordana Best lash extreme
*Etude House lash perm proof mascara, flippin love this stuff! It's a great tubing mascara.

I don't have too many products to list since I haven't gotten anything very new except for restocking my usual basics. My favourite new lipsticks were Fashion Revival, Pander Me, Mangrove and Salon Rouge. My favourite new lip liner is Fashion Boost. I've also become really fond of Soar again, although it's not new.
