Before we invest in all the new trends and products of 2015, let\u2019s take a moment to look back on our favourite beauty, skincare and wellness products in 2014. When it comes to indulging in a bit of pampering D.I.Y style, these were the stand-out products that we just couldn\u2019t get enough of.<\/p>\n

\n

Fuschia Mineral Foundation Powder<\/strong>\"makeupfuscia\"<\/p>\n

This Irish brand\u2019s mineral foundation is everything you want in a mineral powder. It spreads really evenly, unlike some mineral powders which leave you with a cakey look, and it lasts all day. A completely natural product that will adapt to your skin tone, this powder leaves a lovely healthy glow and feels really lightweight on the skin. A 5g pot can be purchased on Fuschia\u2019s website<\/a> for \u20ac26.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Skinician Advanced Time Delay Day Cream SPF15<\/strong>\"skinician\"<\/p>\n

We actually only tried this brand after it was announced as 2014\u2019s Best Facial Moisturiser \u00a0by The Irish Spa Awards<\/a> and we have to say, it lives up to the title.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s light texture spreads really easily on the skin but delivers big results. A noticeable glow and a smoother complexion were the biggest benefits we saw. It\u2019s available to buy in selected Harvey Nichols stores, spas and salons around the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lucy Annabella\u2019s Niaouli & Lavender Aromatic Candle<\/strong>\"lucyannabella\"<\/p>\n

If ever there was a scent from heaven, this is it! Lucy Anabella is new Irish company based in Tyrone, and I think we struck gold when we came across their range of organic products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Made from the essential oils of Lavender and Niaouli, soya wax and a cotton wick, this glorious scented candle is the ultimate aroma for relaxation. Retailing at \u20ac37 on the website<\/a>, this is one that you simply have to try out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Green Angel Sunrise Body Exfoliator<\/strong>\"greenangel\"<\/p>\n

With a host of natural ingredients like lemon, grapefruit, argan oil, Irish seaweed extract and salt, this exfoliator will completely revamp your skin. It\u2019s our go-to product for getting rid of that last bit of fake tan that just won\u2019t budge, not to mention it took home Best Exfoliator at The Irish Spa Awards<\/a>. The fresh fragrance is like packaged sunshine in a jar, well worth the value of \u20ac30.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo<\/strong>\"shampoo-ozzie\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to taming the mane, this beautifully aromatic dry shampoo is a complete life saver. What sets this dry shampoo above the rest is that it doesn\u2019t leave that clammy, hard-to-comb-through texture in the hair and it\u2019s not going to break the bank at just \u20ac5.99 per 180 mls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kinvara Skincare Absolute Cleansing Oil<\/strong>\"kinvara\"<\/p>\n

An award-winning cleanser<\/a> free from preservatives, emulsifiers and other agents that strip the skin of it\u2019s own natural oils. Because the ingredients consist only of therapeutic essential oils, this cleanser won\u2019t dry out your skin. In fact, it almost doubles as a nourishing moisturiser. 100% plant based, it\u2019s the most skin-friendly cleanser we came across in 2014 hand\u2019s down. You can buy it on Kinvara\u2019s website for \u20ac20.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SmartPolish Nail Varnish<\/strong>\"smartpolish\"<\/p>\n

To put it simply – an extensive range of colours, great staying power and a glossy finish made SmartPolish our favourite gel nail varnish brand this year.<\/p>\n

With no need to apply a base coat or a top coat, it\u2019s convenient, effective and oh so pretty. We first noticed it when it was featured on Xpos\u00e9 and although it was designed for beauty professionals, we managed to get our hands on some!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
