Beauty's Best 15 of 2015! Part 1

2015 was a great year! I married my best friend in September and we had a fun and beautiful wedding! My husband's sister also got married in May, so it was a busy year for our families, planning and celebrating!

It's also been a great year for fabulous makeup finds and fun products that I will purchase over and over, forever! These are products that if I were to find out they were being discontinued, I'd stock up like I've never stocked up before! As it is, I practically always have a backup to something I love and use all the time. If I really LOVE it, I have a backup to back up the backup!

I will try my hardest to narrow this down to 15!! I will be posting a few a day so stay tuned!! ;)

1. Josie Maran Cleansing Oil

This has been my favorite for a while now. I originally purchased this in a set on QVC, but now I'm on my second bottle! It's moisturizing and although I do use a separate eye makeup remover, this helps to get the last bit of makeup off around my eyes. For $32 for 6 oz. you may think it's crazy, but if purchased in a value set, it can help to offset the price. Josie Maran's website and QVC have great value sets!

2. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid

Breakouts? Say goodbye!! I've never had real issues with breakouts, but I'd get them once in a while, mostly on my forehead. I honestly can't remember the last time I've had a breakout since using this! It's amazing! I think my skin looks more even and not remembering the last break out is good enough reason to continue using it! For anyone that does suffer from acne prone skin, this will be a great addition to your skin care regimen.

NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

3. Hydra-C Serum 20%

LOVE! I started using a Vitamin C serum after watching Angie from Hot and Flashy on YouTube review it. It just makes sense to use it as part of your skin care routine to protect your skin. Vitamin C is an antioxidant which fights free radical damage and protects skin from the environmental factors that cause premature aging. Vitamin C also promotes collagen synthesis, can reduce dark spots, and aides in cell turnover, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Sign me up!! Note that Vitamin C alone cannot protect skin from the damaging rays of the sun and should be used in combination with a sunscreen!

4. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream (whoa! say that five times fast!)

OMG! This tinted moisturizer is a dream! I've tried a bunch of tinted moisturizers and nothing has ever come close to the fabulousness this has. This evens out your complexion and leaves skin with a dewy finish. The product contains olive-derived squalene (not whale! yayy!) which adds to its moisturizing ability. It's lovely for someone looking for sheer to medium coverage. The absolute best feature is this has an SPF of 30, but it doesn't have the typical greasy feel of an SPF product. It also layers nicely under mineral foundation if you want added coverage.
