I collect makeup. Mainly because I love it and also because I'm obsessed with having new things constantly. I may not see this as a problem until I have 50 cents left in my bank account and I'm hungry, but at least I'll be hungry whilst wearing some beautiful products on my face. I also love changing it up. I don't like wearing the exact same products every day.
So, to share with you some of my go-to's, I've created this list of my favourite and therefore most reached for products of 2015. I have tried to limit each category to a top three, and I know even that is a lot... But I find it really heartbreaking to leave out some products that I do still love... It's like choosing which of my dogs I like more (except obviously I like Mac more... sorry Duncan) but I'm sure you'll forgive me!

I've also tried to keep this list "Limited Edition Free" so you are able to go out and actually purchase things if you want to! There are a few exceptions but at the time I posted this they were still available! So without further unnecessary commentary and justifications for my oversized collection, here are my top makeup products of 2015:
Primer -
Nivea Men sensitive post shave balm (thanks Nikkie tutorials)
Stila one step correct
Smashbox photofinish primer water
Foundation -
Favourite is Estée Lauder double wear light.
Runners up are:
Nars sheer glow
Too Faced born this way
(Also my favourite tinted moisturizer is the Nars pure radiant)
Concealer -
Urban decay naked skin
Mac pro longwear
It Cosmetics bye bye under eye
Setting powder -
Mac mineralize skinfinish
Nars loose translucent crystal light reflecting
Australis fresh and flawless
(I really want to try the Laura Mercier loose setting powder)
Contour -
Kat Von D shade and light is my number 1.
Too Faved cocoa contour is nice too, although the highlight shade I don't like and never use.
Bronzer -
Chanel soleil tan de Chanel
Benefit hoola
Nars Laguna
Blush -
Mac well dressed
Mac warm soul
Too Faced love flush
Highlighter -
Becca X Jaclyn Hill Champagne pop is my all time favourite by so far.
The new Mac iridescent highlighter in sparkling rose from the new faerie whispers collection (LE I think but available now), The Balm Mary Loumanizer
Mac soft and gentle
Eyeshadow -
Makeup geek shadows are the bomb (I only have a few and really want more, they're so nice)
Stila eyes are the window palette
I also love the Nars single shadow in the shade New York (so pretty on blue eyes)
Mascara -
Benefit they're real
Chanel volume de Chanel
(Love/Hate relationship with Too Faced better than sex.. some days it's great and others I don't like it!)
Eyeliner -
I don't use often & am pretty dodgy but Mac fluidline gel eye liner is pretty much the only one I've tried that I don't just remove and give up!
Smashbox always sharp in bare for my waterline (to open up my eyes)
Mac one in my tight line
Brows -
Hourglass arch brow sculpting
Maybelline brow satin
Loreal brow artist plumper
Lipsticks -
Mac are always just my go-to. They have such a wide selection and so many of my favourite shades are Mac. I barely touch my others (very bad of me)
Liquid lipsticks -
The new Mac ones are good!
Stila stay all day
Jeffree star
Lip liners -
Mac pro longwear lip pencils
Setting spray -
Urban decay all nighter
Mac fix plus
Etc-
Mac strobe cream is so good for so many things
Hourglass ambient lighting palette is really nice for a natural luminous finish
If you have any questions let me know, though you're probably sick of reading things I've written by now. I would love to hear your favourites, and if any of our favourites are the same! If you want me to elaborate on any favourites (reasons why I like what I do) let me know.
If you would like me to do some brush favourites too I could, though I don't have as many holy grails. I'm always wanting to try more in the search of the perfect ones (so suggestions are welcome)!
