Best of the Year Recap

Tomorrow is New Years Eve!! I can't believe that another year has come and gone..  I have a strong feeling that 2015 is going to be an amazing year, this year was a year of building new and old relationships and finding my footing in my new career and just learning a lot about myself and soaking up information that further help me in my career pathway. This is just kinda a review of my favorite movies, TV shows, music, beauty products and even red carpet looks.  So sit back, relax and enjoy my review of 2014 in a nutshell :)

 10 Favorite Movies of 2014: For me 2014 was mostly about the sequels and Marvel movies!

The Fault In Our Stars- I can't begin to describe how much I love this movie.. Freaking Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace break my heart.. That amazing chemistry! I actually got the opportunity to read the book and I was very pleased with how the movie was done. Perfection.














Captain America: Winter Soldier -What can I say about Chris Evans as Captain America? It just all worked as a whole and I love the addition of Falcon and Black Widow.













Guardians of the Galaxy 2014 was Chris Pratt's year that he became a superstar. For a movie that I had no idea who the characters were before going into a movie, it was pretty spectacular. Groot was my favorite and the movie had such a stellar soundtrack, which I bought on Itunes..

Lets Be Cops - You could ask my cousins about how obsessed I am with this movie. I am a HUGE fan of New Girl so when I first heard that Damon Wayans Jr and Jake Johnson were doing a movie together I was first in line to see it haha and it is so funny! Their chemistry is something else and it's just a really good time.

22 Jump St- LOVED IT. Channing and Jonah come back with a vengeance. I love how they always poke fun at their own movie.

Dumb and Dumber To- This movie I have been waiting my whole life for and it's finally here and it was everything that I could have asked for.. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels never miss a beat and makes me forget all about Dumb and Dumberer.

The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies - Great end to an amazing Trilogy, also Legolas is a bad ass!

Horrible Bosses 2- Another really great sequel that was long anticipated.. The gang was back and there's no disappointments, only side splitting laughter.

Divergent- This was also the year of Shailene Woodley. Love this series more than Hunger Games.

 
X-men Days Of Future Past- YES! This movie was fantastic!

Honorable Mention: Veronica Mars: When this Kick starter campaign came out, I was so excited!! I donated money for it in a heartbeat! Rob Thomas and The cast of Veronica Mars, Brava!

Favorite New TV Shows:

• How to Get Away With Murder: OMG! How flawless is Viola Davis as Annalise Keating!!??? If you are not watching this you should be.

• Girl Meets World: I have to admit something to myself that it going to be harsh but here goes... I am too old to be watching the Disney Channel.. but not so fast Girl Meets World came along and even though it's a new show, it's a spin off of Boy Meets World, one of my favorite shows of all time and it's flawless!

• Gotham:  Gotham is so much fun! Robin Lord  Taylor's portrayal of Penguin.. don't even get me started.. brilliant.

• Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon: Another admission from yours truly, I have never missed an episode since Jimmy took over Jay Leno's job as host. that is the truth.. It's just so much fun.

• Orange is the New Black: I was HOOKED on this show. It's not the type of show I would usually watch but it was interesting to see the stories of each of the girls. It's a very well acted show, and well Crazy Eyes..

• Game Of Thrones: Yeah I know I'm late to the GOT party, but it's just a really great show and Khaleesi is my favorite character

Favorite Music of 2014:

•   Taylor Swift:  DUH. Her album was the best of the year.. My favorite song of hers is I Know Places. 
• Iggy Azalea: Fancy. Black Widow. Beg For It.. She knocks it out of the park every time and her homage to Clueless only makes me love her more.
• Magic!: Rude.. what a chill song, it was perfect for the summer.
• Bruno Mars: Uptown Funk. Shut Up Bruno Mars! This song I play on my way to work to pump me up 
• Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert: Ohh Something Bad, is a dream duet.. two bad ass women come together and wrote such an anthem.
• Lorde: Yellow Flicker Beat. Flawless.
• Maroon 5: Animals.
• Charlie XCX: Boom Clap, great song for a great movie.
• Sia: Chandelier. I don't think there needs to be an explanation for this one..

• Shakira: I love Shakira and I thought she was great on The Voice, I'm not a huge fan of her voice but gosh Empire was everything.

• Echosmith: Cool Kids. I love this song.. 
• One Direction: Story Of My Life. Steal My Girl. Yep I'm a closet 1D fan.. 

Favorite Beauty Product Discoveries:

• Cargo Swimmable Liners- These are SO great! Water, Cry, Sweat and Smudge Proof liners that go on so creamy and stay on all day!
• Cargo One Base- I don't usually like a lot of heavy foundation, and the one base is so easy and light and gives just enough coverage.
• LORAC 3D Lustres- LOVE! I bought the holiday 4 pack, and you can wear these gorgeous colors as a eye shadow, highlight, on your lips and even in your hair.. and a little dab goes a long way!
• LORAC Mattifying Face Primer- You only need a tiny bit but when applied it makes your face so smooth and velvety 
• Colour Pop Cosmetics- LOVE this line!! The Super Shock shadows are stunning and give amazing color payoff, the lippie stix come in amazing colors.

Taylor Swift-"Blank Space" Music Video Look

Blank Space has become one of my favorite music videos from this year not only because I am a huge Taylor Swift fan but it's so much fun and she's just so crazy!! Seriously you do not want to piss this girl off!! So I wore this look yesterday to work and even more than usual I kept getting that I look like Taylor Swift! This look is based off the navy smokey eye look at the bridge of the song, where's she holding the apple.

I finally got to break into my Lorac Pro 2 Palette which is what I mainly used in creating this look. Another really cool trick to use when wanting crisp lines or even if you don't want your shadow all over the place when doing a smokey eye, use some scotch tape! It's so easy to do! Just take your scotch tape and lineup up with the shape that you want, do your smokey eye and pull off the tape... Voila! Instant amazing smokey eye look
