>> Hi, welcome back and happy new year!
I decided to dedicate my first 2014 video
to a sort of best of with my all times beauty favourites
those products I keep on purchasing
and are staples in my beauty section.
Each one of them appeared in one of my month beauty favourites video
so I will not over describe them
So, if you are ready I think we can start.
Let's start by speaking about body skin care
and both my favourite products are by Caudalie.
It's the Divine Scrub
the body scrub to use in the shower and then rinsed off
and the Vine body butter.
Used together they make the skin smooth and silky
and they have a lovely citrus fragrance that I love.
So Divine Scrub and Vine body butter are my two choices for the body skin care.
Talking about face skin care as you know last year I tested a lot of different creams
my two favourites are
Rexaline Hydra Radiant SPF 15
which is perfect.
It's a day cream easy to apply which quickly soaks in
and it tones up, hydrates and it's also has anti-age action
It's the perfect cream, I can't live without it and I keep re-purchasing it.
The second one is an eye cream,
it's Clinique Superdefense SFP 20.
What I like about this product is that it's rich but not oily,
it quickly soaks in
and it really makes this delicate area feel deeply hydrated
and having an high SPF it really protect the eyes area.
For the face skin care it's essential to carefully remove the make up
using effective but not too aggressive products.
My two choice for this section are without any doubts
Bioderma Sensibio H2O
a micelle solution
for sentitive skins
So it's very delicate but at the same time it deeply cleanses the skin.
It can be used to remove make up
or simply to cleanse and refresh the skin.
As I said it's very delicate
I love it and I use it every night to remove my make up and there's no need to rinse it
so it's quick, easy and delicate...just perfect!
The second product is for the eye area
and it's
Lancome Bi-facil eyes make up remover, a double action product
very delicate and efficient
and among all the ones I tested last year this is my very favourite one,
I keep on purchasing and it looks like soon I will need a new bottle.
I really suggest you to try it.
If you wish to know the prices, get more infos or buy the products I'm talking about in this video
you just need to visit my blog
the address is in the infobox below
and you'll find all the direct links.
For the make up section I chose some basic fundamental products
Let's start with the foundation
my all times favourite is Make up Forever Matt velvet +
it's a liquid foundation
oil free, water resistant,
easy to apply and with a great coverage
and being matt is reduces the shiness typical of the combination to oily skins like mine.
For me it's the perfect foundation!
My favourite concealer is by Shiseido
It's the natural finish cream concealer.
It's a cream concealer easy to apply and with a great coverage
so it's perfect to hide all inperfections and dark circles too
I love it and I keep on buying it, even if I tried many others this is always my favourite.
The next product is for me a true must have
I discovered it a few years ago and I never left it
It's Urban Decay eyeshadow primer postion in Eden.
So, it's an eye primer
which evens out the lid and prep it for the eyeshadow
which will stay on throughout the day without touch ups
so it's really a must have and I suggest it to you!
It's time to talk about powder!
My favourite one us by Rimmel, the Stay Matte
It's perfect for the combination to oily skins like mine
because being matt it reduces the shiness,
it's easy to apply, is light and very natural,
it has a very good price quality ratio
and it's easy to find as it's sold in the majority of drugstores.
So stay Matte by Rimmel!
For those of you who have a really pale complexion like me
it's essential to find the right bronzer
to give you an healthy glow without being too strong
and my all times favourite is Hoola by Benefit.
I love everything about it, the cardboard packaging with the inside mirror,
the cute brush and the colour is just perfect.
It's lightweight, natural and it instantly give a healthy glow to your face.
So my choice is Hoola by Benefit.
Talking about blush last year I tested a lot of them
and my favourite is by Lancome, the blush subtil
in the colour peach
which looks very natural
and it has a light shimmer which brightens the cheeks
The packaging ti very classy and handy to carry in your bag for the touch ups.
So my blush choice is Lancome blush subtil.
Choosing only one eyeshadow was an impossible mission
so I chose my favourite palette
Urban Decay naked Basics.
It's made of 6 eyeshadows in basic shades
perfect to create intense and natural looks
they match with any complexion
I use a lot the faint shade to shape my eyebrows too
So with only one palette you can create many different make ups
and it's a true must have
which appeared in one of my monthly favourites videos
and in my Christmas gift guide for her too.
So my choice for eyeshadows is without a doubt Urban Decay Naked basics.
Let's talk about eyeliners, last year I tested a few,
I loved some and hated others,
but my favourite, the one I wear more often
it's by Maybelline
It's the lasting drama gel liner
in black.
It's a gel eyeliner supplied with its brush
which is perfect to create both thin and thicker lines.
As I said it's easy to apply and it has an intense colour,
it lasts throughout the day without smudging,
that's why this is my favourite eyeliner.
We talked about eyeshadows and about eyeliner, so there's one more product left to finish the eyes make up
What is it? The Mascara
and my favourite is without any doubt Maybelline the rocket
I like it because it has this hard plastic brush
which extends, separates and volumizes the lashes as no other mascara
It also has an intense colour which lasts troughout the day
it doesn't smudge, the price is affordable
it's the perfect mascara as far as I'm concerned.
There's only another product in the make up section
and it's the lipstick.
My favourite one is Rimmel's Lasting finish
the kate Moss serie
and my favourite colour is n.10, a deep red.
I love this lipstick because it has a matt finish
which is very elegant and it lasts all night even eating and drinking with nearly no touch ups,
it's easy to find and the price is affordable,
so the quality price ratio is amazing
If I should suggest only one lipstick
this will be my first choice.
Now two hair products
The first one is the thermo protector serum by John Frieda, the Frizz-ease,
This product is amazing because it protects the hair from the heat
so applying it before you blow dry or flat iron the hair will not damage it
and it also avoids the frizz effect caused by heat.
You just need to pour a bit on the hands and run it through the hair
before you use heated tools
and it works, it makes the hair shiny and protects it
and it avoids the frizz, so this is my first choice.
The second hair product is Sephora dry shampoo
I already talked about it in one of my monthly favourites videos
because I fell in love with it, I discovered it by chance
in a Sephora store and I never left it.
These were my all times beauty favourites
the very best, the greatest hits, the best of the best as far as I'm concerned.
I hope these suggestions will be usefull for your future purchases
and I would like to know which ones are your favourite products
