So I'm a bit late on this blog post considering it's six days into 2016, but I'm cramming to get deadlines finished so whilst I have a quick breather I'm spending the next couple hours scheduling a tonne of posts.
I thought it'd be nice to do a 2015 favourites, I wanted to make it very minimal and as small as possible but it's so difficult to do because 2015 for me has been amazing for discovering new products, rekindling my love for old forgotten ones and more. I wanted to do a favourites with books and clothes in too but then I realised how excessive that would be, I will however put at the bottom some of my favourite books this year.
This by far is my most favourite quote of 2015, I have it absolutely everywhere and when I saw Paperchase were selling it on their little postcard stand I just had to get it. This quote just makes me feel so good about myself and positive. It says to me that it's cool to stand out and be different, you do you and bugger what everyone else thinks and as long as you're happy, then you are your own kind of beautiful. Ahh, I love it! Kayne for Christmas got me a Daniella Draper bangle with this quote engraved on it and then on the inside it said 'my one and only' (which obviously made me cry and there will be a blog post with the Daniella Draper bracelet because seriously, their jewellery is amazing.)
Now, it wouldn't be a 2015 favourite post if Snow Fairy didn't make the cut. I absolutely love this stuff and I'm gutted every time I run out! Thank god I got some large bottles for Christmas, it should keep me going for as long as possible! If you've never smelt Snow Fairy, seriously - where have you been?
Ahh, this foundation is a gift from God. This is hands down the BEST high street brand foundation I've ever used. It lasts me for ages, stays on my face literally all day, blends well, everything you could want in a foundation - you get it in this bottle.
MAC Velvet Teddy is amazing. I absolutely adore it. It doesn't need anymore words, we all know how fabulous this lipstick is.
I only got this a couple months back but I can honestly say, it is one of the best eyebrow palettes I've used yet. In my post reviewing this palette which you can read here I say that it's a good dupe for Benefit's Brownings, which I still hold to this day. It's super easy to apply, blendable and gives you amazing brows, so what more could you want?
I love, love, love this scent. This is my third Summer Scoop candle this year. I adore the fruity and food scents and this one is perfect for me.
I got this palette in September and not only is it just an eyeshadow palette, I also use it for highlighting and contouring. Again, this is mentioned on my MAC experience post which you can also read here. I thoroughly recommend this palette, it's perfect for daytime and night time wear with a lovely mixture of matte and 'sparkly' shades.
The. Best. Mascara. Ever.

Real Technique, where would we be without you? The reason why my eyeshadow goes so well.
(Apologies for how dirty the brush is) Bit on the pricey side but I can promise you this, it is worth every single penny. If you're looking for a great brush that does everything it says on the packaging and more, this is the one you need.
Now, as an English Literature student, naturally I do a ridiculous amount of reading. I've not really been able to read much for pleasure barring one or two books. But there has been some great books on the course that are definitely worth mentioning:
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
The Color Purple by Alice Walker.
The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
Did any of these make your 2015 favourites? Have you ever used/tried any of these products? Let me know below in the comments!
I have so much lined up for 2016 and I can't wait to get started on them all. I'm going to make sure I stay on top of writing on here because I really hate neglecting my blog. Thank you for reading as always, I hope you've enjoyed the post. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Bloglovin. I'm so close to a 1,000 followers on Twitter so it would be so amazing if I could hit that! Thank you as always,
