[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample, Affiliate Links[/button]Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! What lipstick will you be wearing when you kiss in the new year? If you haven’t decided yet, this Best Lipstick 2014 post is just in time!
The Makeup Wars team asks, “What is the best lipstick of 2014?” My answer? Hands-down, NARS Audacious Lipstick was my #1 favorite lippie of 2014! No question!
My Pick: Best Lipstick 2014 Edition
NARS Audacious Lipstick redefines “highly pigmented”. With only one swipe, rich, vivid and smooth color is delivered. These lipsticks are all about impact, and certainly aren’t for the wallflowers of the world!
Even the tube itself is luxe. These sleek black cases feature a magnetic closure that ensure the cap stays put, protecting your precious cargo in your bag.
Retail price is $32 per lipstick. Click HERE for a complete list of NARS Audacious color options. I also have a list of the Best NARS Products if you’re looking for more gorgeous NARS product recommendations!

Top Foundation 2014
Makeup Wars: Best Of 2014 Series
[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample, Affiliate Links[/button]It’s almost the new year! This is always time for reflection and assessment. What did you do right in 2014? What did you do wrong? We all have some personal winners and losers, and the same goes for the world of makeup.
The Makeup Wars team has decided to fill these final days of 2014 with some of the makeup “winners” of 2014. Today’s topic? The best foundation, CC, or BB Cream from 2014.
My Pick: Top Foundation 2014 Edition
For me, the answer was easy: Estee Lauder Perfectionist Youth Infusing Makeup. The answers from the rest of the MW team can be found at the end of this post, so be sure to scroll down to read them!
I was introduced to this new Estee Lauder formula toward the end of summer 2014, and have been using it regularly ever since! Why is it so special? The name says it all! Youth. Infusing. This formula instantly imparts a healthy glow that really makes the wearer look younger, and now that I’m of a **cough, cough** certain age, this fact alone was enough to win my heart! But there’s more! Not only does Estee Lauder Perfectionist Youth Infusing Makeup deliver that special youthful glow, it also contains an SPF25, brightening ingredients, and no fragrance… This beauty blogger has become a loyal fan!
Retail price is $45. It’s worth every penny, but the budget-conscious among you should wait until a great Estee Lauder GWP is available to grab a bottle. Love what you see? I’ve pulled together a list of the Best Estee Lauder Products for you to peruse!
Click HERE to buy it from EsteeLauder.com. Other retailers include Nordstrom.com, NeimanMarcus.com, Bloomingdales.com, Macys.com and Saks.com.

Blue Manicure
[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]I’ve been having so much fun playing with Blue Manicures. Those of us who are older know that fun colors like blue and green won’t always be on-trend, so it’s important to play with them while you have the chance! If you love Blue Manicures, check out these two shades of nail polish from Formula X! [Read more…] about Blue Manicure
Splatter Paint Nails
[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]New Year’s Eve is coming up fast and furious! For those of you who are (like me) nail art challenged, a great way to get a festive look for the biggest party day of the year is to use a top coat with a Splatter Paint effect over your manicure, like these Sephora Formula X shades. These confetti-inspired topcoats are called “Xplosives”, and depending on what colors you are looking for, the retail price ranges from $6 (some are on sale) to $12.50.
Turbulent combines turquoise and black confetti glitter. I personally love the way this shade stands out atop a white manicure.
Bionic is a great combination of black and a citusy green/yellow. When it comes to a Splatter Paint nail look, these colors are a great pick!
Meteoric is no longer online! Check your local retailer for this black/white combo. I am wild about it over a deep pink or red.
Wham is a great way to get into the snowy spirit of the season. This pure white confetti is the perfect topper for just about any shade, but my personal favorite is to pair it with a pale baby-blue.
Buy your favorite at Sephora.com!
