Not only will this post tell you about the products I discovered in 2017 but the products from 2016 that made the whole year in my makeup bag but also products that will probably never change and if you've read previous monthly favourites on my blog, some of these products might be familiar to you.
2017 Beauty Finds.
Some of these products I had to give 2 or 3 chances to realise how much I loved them.
First up Lilly Lashes Ela. I have always been a fan of Lilly Lashes, they are my favourite lashes ever. I decided to break away from my usual Miamis/Hollywoods and try Ela's and they are my faaavourites. They are bandless and fluffy and perfect. I get mine off falseeyelashes.co.uk they always have a 10% off discount code (I used the code EYES at checkout) and occasionally they have 20% off PLUS it's free next day delivery!
Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation. This one was something I wanted to try before I bought. Luckily the HudaBeauty counter faced the MAC counter so I could get a few samples. I tried Shortbread, Chai, Macaroon. I am very fair, usually I would use NC15 in Studio Fix Fluid. I liked all 3 shades and if I could I'd purchases them all.. Chai is a little dark for me, more like NC20 and Macaroon was slightly pinker in the undertone so I purchased Shortbread. I absolutely Love this foundation. At first I was a little unsure. I'm very oily and I actually didn't like it when I first applied it, it was very matte. Also the first time I used it I used it with my usual foundation brush, the 168 from Mac and I really didn't get a good first impression of the foundation. It was drying before I could even blend it in and it's an extremely full coverage. The next time I used it I used a Beauty Blender and I've been obsessed ever since, I ran out of my sample and went back to studio fix and it made SF look like a light coverage in comparison! Also the foundation is really long lasting which is a must have for myself as I wear my makeup for over 12 hours a day.
A product which I bought used around 4 times and didn't like it at first was the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid shadow. I found it flaky and messy and I found it was all over my face by the end of the day. I would look at it all the time and I thought i'm gunna try it with a brush, not just putting it on from the applicator. And I loved it, I wore it on Christmas Day, New Years Eve, I actually went on to use it on a lot of my freelance's on NYE. I even had a girl who had it and said she didn't like it and I told her that I felt the same but since using it with a brush, I use either a Mac 242 or then Colourpop flat shader, that I loved it and I even purchased it in a different shade and would absolutely love the whole collection. Stila have also brought out ones that have no glitter in them I would really love to try those also!
Another product I used once, didn't like, put it down and then came back to it a few months later and that is the Tom Ford Cream & Powder eyeshadow duo/Cream Colour For Eyes.
I have a few shades now but the one in particular i'm talking about its Naked Bronze 01. I have worn this probably near enough every day throughout December. It was quick, easy so when I was waking up at 5am to get ready for work I knew the product I wanted, I didn't really use the shimmer powder eyeshadow that comes with it more so Nillionare Super Shoch eyeshadow from Colourpop. Again I even did this look on a freelance because it looks super amazing! I use them with a Mac brush which I think has been discontinued! I want them in every colour.
Lastly, this seems like a very basic one but the Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm. OBSESSED. My lips get so dry and sore. From traveling and daily life but especially when I go on a plane. I need a good lip balm this I have been choosing over lipstick or lipgloss! Add a lip liner and cover my lips in this. Makes your lips feel amazing, I get very addicted to putting it on. 100% a travel/life essential..
2016 - 2017.
I've always loved Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadows but last year I used Burnt Orange near enough everyday. Still love my Jouer Highlighter in Citrine, I've had 2 I will say they
break very easy! My first one broke in my bag my second lasted longer but once I hit pan it broke but I don't care because I love the product, how I like to use it leads on to another product which made it, the Mac Cream Colour Base in Pearl. I apply this first then my Jouer highlighter. A product which I bought probably in 2015 and picked it up again this year is the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow. I don't use the highlight in the palette but I love the bronzer I wish they would bring it out singular because I don't want to repurchase the palette just for the bronzer!
Products I've always loved..
Natural Radiance Primer (Mac), Prep & Prime Light Boost Highlight Pen (Mac), Soft Ochre (Mac), Fix + (Mac), Emphasize Shaping Powder (Mac), Deep Dark Brunette Brow Fluidline (Mac), Margin Blush (Mac).
Well there we have it! The products that were in my makeup bag last year, i'm very much a creature of habit so I like what I like and I rarely change it up. One thing I can't find is a concealer so if you have suggestions let me know!
