noiretropicalbeauty favourites best beauty products 2015

I still can’t believe how fast 2015 flew by! That means it’s time for my favourites! These are the best beauty products for 2015! Here is the list of the products that blew me away and that I was generally quite impressed at for 2015.  There is a little bit of everything here…colour, skincare, haircare, and a little more skincare.  This year was big for skin.  For me it is about maintaining and staving off the aging process. Great skin and skincare takes priority over anything else that you can put on your face or body.  Of course my obsession with colour continues, so there is definitely some new products that I discovered that were very well made.  I have included some high-end makeup as well as some great drugstore finds!

These are the products that I will undoubtedly continue to use in 2016.

So check out the video below and lehwe go!

noiretropicalbeauty best purple lipsticks WOC

Hey!

Lipsticks are back! So I decided to pull together a list of my favourite purple lipsticks that are great for the fall/winter. As a matter of fact, they are great all year round! I have a preference for matte lipsticks so they feature prominently in this list. They are at different price points, so there is something for everyone. And these all look amazing on women of colour – from dark skin to light – I even added a bright or too.

So check out my list below, and definitely look at my video, where I have tried them on!

Let me know what you think…..

The new wave of chic. Seasonal shades suit up for resort mode with high-sun and high- style.

For Spring 2016, NARS debuts a fresh and modern mix of seasonal shades and innovative textures for eyes, cheeks and lips. Orchid blush radiates from a natural, matte complexion and lips captivate in shimmering apricot, rose and mulled wine. Eyes mesmerize in icy mint, matte beige and bronzed rose tones paired with a bold, winged liner. The must-have of the season: Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in a sumptuous, versatile spectrum that can be applied dry for a sophisticated sheer effect, or wet for a dramatic, high-shine finish.

NEW: NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint (Spring 2016)

And just like that, we are heading straight for new spring makeup!

Velvet Matte Skin Tint SPF 30 delivers soft-matte perfection and protection. This oil-free formula delivers NARS’ signature natural-looking finish and shine control with the skincare benefits of an all-in-one treatment.

NARS’ innovative Velvet Illusion Complex technology creates a soft-focus effect with a soft-touch feel. Transparent Blurring Powders instantly enhance the look of skin by helping to blur imperfections and even tone – naturally dimensional skin that doesn’t look flat, masked, or chalky.

The unique, spherical shape of the Transparent Blurring Powders compress like a cushion, delivering a velvety feel and superior comfort upon application. Rose Fruit Extract refines the appearance of pores and controls shine.

This ultra-blendable skin tint glides on smooth delivering sheer-to-medium coverage that lasts comfortably through the day. From the lightest ivory to the deepest mahogany, an expertly refined range of 12 global shades offers soft-matte coverage for every skintone. Instant perfection, at the ready.

Charged with vitamins C, E, and broad spectrum SPF 30.
