Best of Beauty in 2016!

Yes, the year is finally coming to an end and it is time to pick some stand-outs that made all the make up magic difference. There were definitely some stand outs and classic favorites this year. I can’t wait to see what the make up industry has in store for their consumers aka me and all you beauty addicts. 

---

Base:

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment in Light. I sort of treat this as a tinted primer and sometimes a bb cream because it has a bit of a tint to it and at the same time really mattifies my complexion. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay Tinted BB Moisturizer in Ivory. I haven’t been into actual foundations this year because I honestly couldn’t bother buffing my face everything I went out. Plus, it was always super hot(as per usual). 

Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer in 10 Light. This one has got to be my lifesaver of the year. I ALWAYS use this thing, even as an over all base when I would be lazy(most occasions). Its perfectly creamy and evens my skin tone. I am so close to opening my backup already.

 

Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder. This actually ran out on me(as every favorite product does) mid year because I would use this every time I used a powder(which is every time). 

Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in 52 Vanille. Yes, I put two powders in this list because I waited so long to have this in my hands and it was definitely worth it. It was everything I hoped for and more. (overreacting but yeah)

Shade & Light:

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. I know I put this in last year(link HERE!), but it still is my favorite till this day(as i’m writing this). I think Too Faced crafted this endless pit of a bronzer in a way that it hardly even dented itself after using it this whole time.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Blush in Exposed. FAVE FAVE FAVE!!! Did I mention that it stays on forever? Lovely shade + Stays on the whole day = never going to let this go.

KIKO MAKE UP MILANO Shimmer Shadow Stick in 02. This stick of light is all I ever need. Unassuming in a sense that it isn’t lightsaber bright but enough to tie your everyday look together.

Eyes & Brows:

Maybelline Fashion Brow. Instead of rambling about how amazing this product is, please do read the review I made on this(link HERE!). TBH, I never felt this attached to a drugstore brow pencil.

Kat von D Tattoo Liner. This has been listed as the best liquid eyeliner in the market. I can’t contest to that. It’s damn amazing.

Lips:

Revlon Colorstay Liner in Rose. This is my go to lip liner for casual Saturday night outs and work meetings. Appropriate for all seasons. Did I mention that it lasts on pretty long?
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment. This is no hoax or some type of hyped up product. This actually works. I try to remember to apply this every night before I sleep because it the next best thing from coconut oil.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy. I don’t know when this will not be on my list. This has got to be my all time favorite lipstick from MAC or ever. I have yet to try their other shades liek Taupe and Whirl but UGH! this is so good. It is my go-to lipstick when I can’t decide what to wear because peachy nudes never fail.

Sephora Haul! | Sephora.au

As a few of you lovely people may know, I recently visited Australia for a bit and knowing the makeup-skincare obsessed girl that I am, I obviously did a trip to Sephora. Australian Sephora is a bit different from the ones in the US, in a sense that they don’t have the exact brands as the US. But for something that’s at the other end of the world, it’s pretty great selection to choose from.

Australia is generally a more expensive place to shop due to the higher taxes and what not. So I gave myself an amount of money to spend and I worked around it because TBH, I don’t need more makeup. But I did need something new to review on my blog.

ORIGINS Drink Up Intensive. ORIGINS Clear Improvement. ORIGINS Out Of Trouble. This was actually a face mask trio. I bought this because I have had a full size mask from Origins before and to be honest, it is kind of impossible to finish a full size face mask thing. So I got this one, each of them are 50mL and it allows me to try other types of masks without spending almost 100AUD on face masks alone(because thats crazy).

La Vanilla The Healthy Deodorant in Pure Vanilla. I first heard about this deodorant from Estee Lalonde in on of her Sephora hauls awhile back. She mentioned that this was the deodorant she used religiously. And I thought, If Estee loves it, I should try it too! 

Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment. You can say that I am Estee Lalonde obsessed… Because I also heard about this product from her and I just had to buy it too! I used it as soon as I bought it and wow, it is more than just a lip balm!

 

It Cosmetics Prow Powder Perfector in Universal Taupe. I originally planned to repurchase the ABH Brow Wiz , but I noticed that it would come out cheaper if I ordered it from a reseller back home. So, I scratched that idea and picked up this baby. I have no idea how good or bad this product is. So comment below if you want an honest review about this! 

Tarte BB Tinted Treatment in Light. Initially I told the lady at Sephora that I wanted a light base, like a tinted moisturizer. And little did I know I would pick up another Tarte base(because I don’t have enough obvs). This is actually a BB tinted treatment but she said it was practically the same thing.

Zoeva Rose Golden Eyeshadow Palette. I was due to pick up a brand new full-size palette because I bought my previous one almost 2 years ago. So when I saw this,  I just had to get it because first, its packaged in Rose Gold, second, there are Rise Gold shades in the palette. Can’t you tell that I love me some Rose Gold? Even if I don’t use this on the daily, I know I will love this baby! Comment below if you want a full review with the swatches and all!
