Hypes are so common in the beauty world, every month something new is released and a new hype comes around, but which ones have truly stood the test of time? which ones can you honestly everyone still loves a year on?
So here is my top 5 items which to me, have been worth the hype.
1. Urban Decay Naked Palette (£38.50) Full Post with Swatches HERE
The original, of course. This has been hyped for YEARS. But the reason why it is always hyped is because it really is incredible. The pigmentation, the choice of colours, Half Baked.. ha. But really, it is the perfect palette for any newbie, always the first one I recommend and one I think everyone should have in their stash.
2. MAC Velvet Teddy (£15.50)
Velvet teddy was first hyped back in 2014 when Kyle Jenner first had her lips done. The obsession is real, instantly it had sold out at every MAC counter. But now almost 2 years on we are all still wearing it... why? because it really is beautiful, Kylie sized lips or not this is one you need in your stash. Your perfect nude lip.
3. Nars Sheer Glow (£31.00) Post Here
Nars have been on top of their foundation game for a few years now, but their best will always be Sheer Glow. It comes in countless shades and tones. It has the perfect mix of luminous yet not oily. It is stunning on - and it will last you all day - it honestly ticks every box. No wonder it is hyped. I have had this since the start of this year - and I can now understand the hype. I love it.
4. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush (£32.00) Post Here
Back in 2014 Hourglass released the Ambient Lighting Trio limited edition blush palette and since then we have all been obsessed. My personal obsession is with Mood Exposure, the more Mauvey shade. It is the perfect mix of colour and glow. Cannot get enough of this one - I wear it daily. So much so I am tempted to spend yet another £32 on another shade.
5. MAC 217 (£20.00)
If you don't have a MAC 217 yet.. why? I swear everyone should own this brush, not only will it hold product when you want it to, it can blend in anything and everything. The perfect size, shape and texture of an eye brush. Without a doubt thee most hyped brush - but it is hyped for a reason, its good. So much so that I am tempted to buy a second.

I love my MAC 217 too, I use it religiously, and have done since I bought it! I've only recently started using the original Naked palette, but I honestly don't understand why I didn't get it sooner - I'm obsessed with it. Definitely my favourite Naked palette. Velvet Teddy isn't a good shade for me, at all, but I recently bought it for my friends birthday and she loves it so much - it's her first MAC product and I'm worried I'll have converted her and she'll end up with loads of their products and it'll all be my fault! My favourite high end product would have to be my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. It stays put all day and it's coverage is insane. I don't go a day without it!

I need to give double wear another chance. I have it but just never use it. I need to try it out again! I'm glad you love the 217 and the Naked Palette too, and don't feel bad for getting your friends hooked on MAC, it happens to all of us lol
DeleteThanks for the suggestions! I'm not huge on high-end makeup, but I have been lusting over the UD Naked Palettes for years and am still hoping to get one someday :)
