It is officially the first of the New
Year! As much as I am excited for all of the new makeup products to come out
this year, I first wanted to reflect on 2017. Here are all of the products I absolutely
fell in love with and used the most this year.
Peach Eyeshadow
Palette by Too Faced.
I got this back in
February for my birthday, and I used it constantly throughout the entire year.
Too Faced has been my favorite brand for so long and this palette has to be one
of my all time favorites of theirs. These colors are beautiful and the perfect
shades for me. I love all the different shades of pink and how many looks you
can create with this palette.
Modern Renaissance
Eyeshadow Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills.
When I first got
this palette, I did not like it at all. In fact, I was upset I had spent so
much money on a palette I never saw myself using again. But then, I gave it a
second chance. And that is how I fell in love with this palette. The color ‘burnt
orange’ gave me a ton of mixed feelings. Never in my life did I think I would
use a color called burnt orange because I personally feel orange would never
look good on me. I was completely wrong, and that ended up being the exact
shade I would use almost every day. Even when I created different looks, I still
found myself using this shade in all the looks. This palette has been my
favorite for so long now.
Dual Concealer and
Highlighter by E.L.F.
This is one of the products
that, while I used every day of 2017, I discovered this years before. But, this
is still an absolute favorite of mine. I have tried other concealers this year
and still have yet to find one to replace this one. I love that the color
matches very well, and, when I blend it in with a beauty blender, it blends
very well. I am a college student so I lack sleep, but this concealer is my go
to for covering up my dark under eyes. I may be tired, but I never look it.
Sheer Tint Finishing
Powder by E.L.F.
The last step to
putting on makeup is covering my face in finishing powder. I typically do not
use foundation, and, instead, I replaced it with this finishing powder. 2017
was the first year that I began to add finishing powder to my makeup routine. I
went through so many finishing and setting powders before I found this one, but
I fell in love with the formula of this specific powder. I love the look of
this product and the feel of it. Even when I swipe my at my face later on in
the day, I don’t have a line or any mishaps.
Berry Bordeaux
Lipstick by E.L.F.
I could fan girl
over this lipstick all day. I picked up this lipstick thinking it would be perfect
for the fall and winter time and I was not disappointed. When you first put
this lipstick on, it is very light, but you can build up the color to make it
darker by adding more. I think that was the best part because you can use this
lipstick with a ton of different eyeshadow looks.
Milkshake Glossy Lip
Injection by Too Faced.
This product quickly became one of my most
used glosses. I don’t notice if my lips look any bigger, but I can feel it
working. This product is my favorite because of the color. I have never seen a lip
gloss that slightly has color but is still shimmery. This product actually made
me fall back in love with lip glosses in general.
Maximum Lashes
Mascara by Ulta Beauty.
After finding this
mascara, I will probably never use any other mascara again. I love how flary
this makes my eyelashes look while still being such a deep black color. I know
this sounds crazy, but after using a whole bottle of this mascara, I went out
and bought three more of this exact mascara. That is how much I love this
mascara.
Nivea Face Cream.
I had faithfully
used a certain face cream, but it was, unfortunately, discontinued this year,
and I had to find a new moisturizer. That was when I discovered the Nivea face
cream and my life has been changed. This stuff, I don’t even know how to
describe it. It is very thick and a little wet so I do suggest applying it at
night instead of morning, but it just depends on what your skin needs. Not only
does this do an amazing job as being a moisturizer, it leaves your skin feeling
all weightless and glowy.
