Top 15 of 2015 #theseareafewofmyfavoritethings

Hi Gorgeous!

Welcome back (really, welcome back to me since its been quite some time)!  Can't believe we have turned the corner and started another year.  BUT, before we completely indulge ourselves in the prospects of 2016, here are my Top 15 beauty products of 2015.

1.  WET Hair Brush
       Never dread brushing naturally knotty hair again! Love using this gem straight out of the shower.
2.  Mario Badescu hyaluronic eye cream
      SUPER hydrating - leaves me looking refreshed and adding just enough hydration to plump up the dark circles under my eyes, making them seem less visible/intense.
3.  Laura Mercier Ritual Bronzer
       Heaven on earth- kiss of the sun to make you feel tan and chic whether as a bronzer or a blush.
4.  Bobbi Brown concealer serum
        One of the more recent additions to the pack but well worth it! Light enough that you don't feel cake-y adding concealer on top and the perfect color to correct my dark blue/green circles.
5.  MAC glow highlighter
       The perfect highlight for everyday and easy to apply over when stepping it up for a night after work
6.  NYX Brow
       Just like Anastasia (quality color and wear) but HALF the price (major YAS for us gals who fill in everyday!)
7.  Maybeline Brow Mascara
       Again, gets the job done at half the price... Even better is it packs enough color to use on days when you don't pencil in.
8.  Its Sugar (RED) lip balm
       Perfect luxury lip hydrator that also gives back with its purchase (come out every December)
9.  MAC stormy pink paint pot
        Think that most of the MAC pain pots speak for themselves but this has become a daily go to w/ black winged liner.
10.  CVS lavender makeup remover wipes
         Just as good as Ponds but half the price and you can use your weekly 20/25% off on it :)
11.  DOVE spray deodorant
         Great for post gym touchup, take to work, or on vacation - plus they smell amazing!
12.  BITE Agave lip mask
          Love this as a nightly treatment to hydrate my chapped lips
13.  Dry Shampoo
         Gets the job done, smells good, is build-able without creating that cakey hair look
14.  NYX contour palette
         For a drugstore buy this palette is AMAZING
15.  MAC face and body foundation
         My new go to for light feeling but full coverage! A little goes a long way for this easily blend-able product. (used it on my wedding day and it lasted ALL night)

There you have it! My instant 15picks from 2015! May your 2016 bring you health, love, happiness and some wonderful beauty buys <3

Cheers to a beautiful you,
