So, I'm going to be doing a full series of posts about my favorites this year, including all of the major categories, much like I did last year, but I decided to do a post for New Year's Eve that is my knee jerk favorites for the categories of FACE, EYES, LIPS, CHEEKS, SKIN CARE, and HAIR CARE. I decided that I would just go with pretty much my first instinct as to what was my absolute favorite product in those categories and show them to you. Now, I have to suck a little bit here, because one of the products is actually discontinued, but I had to be 100% honest and this was literally the one thing that really stood head and shoulders above the rest, but we'll get to that.

Without further adieu, here are 6 products that were my knee jerk favorites of 2015!

I've been dying to try it Cosmetics for a while now, but in Canada it can be really hard to find. In fact, I'm pretty sure that you have no choice but to order online or TheShoppingChannel in order to get your hands on the goodies that so many of us see all over the internet from our American neighbors. Recently, TheShoppingChannel was offering a $50 off coupon code for new customers and I took advantage of it and finally got my hands on one of the items from it Cosmetics that I had been lusting over. Well, technically two items, I suppose! I've been trying them out almost every day for the past week or so and I am definitely ready to give my opinion!

Recently, the drugstore has forayed into a space that used to be filled only by higher end, higher cost brands: The makeup setting spray. When it comes to my summer makeup routine, I've always loved to use a setting spray on the days when I know my makeup is going to be put through it because it means that I won't end up looking like a hot mess by the end of the day. Until now, I've always used the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray and been very happy with everything but the price of it. So when lower cost options were offered at the drugstore? SOLD! Within a few months, L'Oreal and then Hard Candy released their own setting sprays and I absolutely had to see how they stack up against each other.

I love BB Cream, I really do. Though I've been on a foundation kick recently, I'm still loving BB creams on days when I just want to do something quick and easy to even out my skin tone and hit it with some moisture and SPF. I feel like that's where BB creams really shine and why they've become such a huge hit. Now, I tend to find Asian BB creams to be head and shoulders above the products that western companies have on offer, so I really don't bother than much with trying out the options available locally and instead order my BB creams online directly from South Korea. Now that Flower Beauty is available in Canada at Walmart, I looked into their products and heard some pretty positive things about the BB cream that they have in their range, so I picked it up to try out and review.

I admit it... Whenever a new foundation comes out at the drugstore, I want to try it. Considering how often drugstore brands come out with new foundations, this isn't the healthiest desire. Still, when I saw this foundation and read/watched a couple of glowing reviews about it, I had to have it. Matte foundations used to be my absolute favorites, but these days I'm more drawn to something that has a more natural looking finish, which can be hard to find with the kind of coverage that I'm looking for. Even when it comes to high end foundations, I have trouble finding the perfect combination of coverage and finish, but I'm always on the hunt. As far as price point, this is pretty high for a drugstore foundation. I've seen it ranging between $17 and $20, with the lowest sale price I've seen being around $15. For me, that's expensive for the drugstore, especially considering my most recent favorite is the Covergirl Ready, Set, Gorgeous foundation which is under $8. For me, if I'm going to pay over $15 for a drugstore foundation, it had better live up to my expectations.

So can the L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation tick all the boxes for me? Keep reading for my thoughts!

One of the best things that happened in 2014 for me was starting this blog. Honestly, I had been wanting to do this for a long time and it was such an exciting thing to start it up and start to grow it as far as content and readership. I think I've finally really found my style and my niche and over the holidays when there was just no time for blogging, I really found that I missed sitting down every day and banging out a post. I decided to start the new year with Top 5 lists. Initially, I was going to do my favorite products in every category of makeup and personal care that I could think of, but I found myself choosing products that were my favorites more by default than by sheer awesomeness, so I changed my plan and decided to do Top 5 posts in a series of categories so that I could really highlight products that I have absolutely been loving this year. I decided that the first post would have to be face makeup products since they're the foundation of my daily beauty routine.

So without further adieu, keep reading to check out my favorite face products of 2014...
