12 Amazing products I discovered in 2014

I cannot believe 12 entire months have passed so fast. I will never forget this year for many reasons, one of them being the creation of this blog. 
Now that the year is over, I would like to share with you 12 products that I have discovered in 2014 and that I have amazed me! If you don't know them, they are completely worth trying!

La Roche Posay Nutritic Intense Riche

The Nutritic Intense Riche moisturizer is a cocoon cream that is perfect for sensitive and dry skin. One of the main ingredient is shea butter, which is particularly rich and comforting. A perfect solution during the cold and agressive winter!

YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush in #12 Mocha Garconne

Makeup brands keep trying to innovate, but very fews products really stand out. This is in my opinion one of YSL best success. Both a lipstick and a blush (Kiss and Blush), this multipurpose product is perfect for people always on a rush or who like to minimize their vanity. The texture blends effortlessly with a matte yet luminous finish without the dry feeling you can get with similar product. This is my new obsession and I am already thinking about starting a collection of these...

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

I am not a big fan of foundations because I often end up disappointed. I got this foundation exactly one year ago, in January 2014. I had heard so much about it and I finally decided to splurge. It is pricey but honestly, it is worth every penny! The finish is so luminous, yet natural, never cakey or fake. It also photographs beautifully. The only downside of it is it's price because once you try it, you cannot live without it. 

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Lip Stain in #16 Pourpre Preview

Have you ever wished for glossy lips that last for hours? Again, YSL did it! They came up with this amazing formula: it does not feel thick or sticky, it looks like a gloss and even when the shine goes away (after eating for exemple), your lips are still stained by the product. 
The colors are also just as much as incredible as the texture! I was looking for an "orchid" color, between pink and purple. Great colors, long lasting power, easy texture and beautiful finish... Can you ask for more?

The Body Shop Camomille Sumptuous Cleansing Butter

I am a big fan of oily texture to remove makeup because it is very gentle to the skin yet efficient. The Body Shop came up with this cleansing butter, the oil being turned into a solid version.  Camomille is known for its calming properties, while the butter itself can remove the most dramatic makeup, eyes and lips included. The packaging is also great and handy, especially if you are traveling. 

A-Derma Epitheliale A.H CreamI 

This cream saved my skin. I have been going to severe allergies crisis this year. My eyes but also my lip contour suffered a lot. When I discovered this cream, I found my Holy Grail! For more details, check my previous post on allergies.

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara

First time I saw this, I was quite skeptical. How is this brush supposed to create nice lashes? In the end, my curiosity won and I decided to try it...and I am so happy I did! Yes, it takes some time to know how to manipulate the brush and use it but the result is absolutely gorgeous, creating both volume and length. 

Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Glow #025

I never was a big fan of drugstore face product, but Rimmel proved me wrong. The packaging might be cheap but the product itself is great. This is a real bronzer, not a contour product because it is warm and really gives you a sun kissed color all. My favorite color, Sun Glow, has tiny shimmers that adds luminosity and glow. Did I also mention it has a SPF protection? 

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Hair Mist

A hair mist probably seems like the last thing you need but when you are a beauty addict, those things are must-haves. Beside, who could pulled it better than Chanel! The scent is delicate, elegant and feminine, just like the original fragrance. This product won't change your life but it will definitely add some glam on your vanity table.

Nars NARSissist Eyeshadows Palette

I have been completely obsessed by Nars ever since I discovered the brand. Their eyeshadows range is unique, with the most incredible pigmentation and quality, so imagine how I felt when I discovered they released a palette of 15 eyeshadows. This was quickly sold out everywhere but after months of patience and research, I got my hands on it and yes...I am in love!

Christophe Robin Moisturizing Hair Oil with Lavender

If you were wondering who was creating hair colors for L'Oréal, well it is Christophe Robin. The famous celebrity hair dresser has also a whole line for hair that I have been using for the past two years. This oil is a multipurpose treatment similar to the Palm Oil of Leonor Greyl. You can use it as a mask before shampoo, as an anti-frizz before your brushing and as protective oil if you go to the beach. Your hair will literally feels like silk!

Dior Golden Shock #001 Diorific Top Coat

Last but not least...nail polish. But not any kind of nail polish. This product came out for the Holidays and I quickly got my eyes on it. This is a top coat with gold leaf effect that instantly upgrade your nails to the next level. This works on top of every colors... Red, you have Christmas nails. Electric blue and this is a lapis lazuli effect... I love this top coat and you can be sure I will be wearing it for New Year Eve, tonight! 

Enjoy the party and Happy New Year everyone!
