2014 Beauty Favourites.


So it's that time of the year - when all the bloggers/youtubers round up there yearly favourites and compile it into one massive video/post. 
I'll apologise now as this is going to be a rather lengthy one - but I've split it up into sections depending on what I'm talking about.
2014's not been the best year for me granted, but I'm holding out for 2015. I've got alot planned for 2015 so I'm hoping it's going to be a belter. 
As far as makeup and beauty goes, it's been a rather exciting year - so join me in celebrating my 2014 favourites.
(I'm just going to list my favourites as it'd take me hours to talk about all the products too).
