You have made it through the first week of
the year, congratulations!
I thought now was the perfect opportunity to
go through my makeup collection and share with you my favourite beauty products
of 2017. All of these products are absolute staples for me and have been
repurchased several times.
MarcJacobs Velvet Noir Mascara. It isn’t the first time I talk about this
mascara in SL, it’s the only mascara I wear as it makes my lashes look
incredible. It gives volume and length without clumping and that is something
quite difficult to achieve. I even purchase mini sizes of the mascara when I go
on holiday.
CharlotteTilbury Instant Eye Palette. This palette only launched in October (I
bought it in the pre-sale) and since then it has become the only palette I ever
use. I have said many times before that the eye shadows from CT are my
favourite. The formula is spot on, not to chalky or powdery with amazing
pigmentation and staying power. The great thing about this palette, aside from
the packaging, is the amazing selection of shades. You practically have a
shadow collection for each occasion making it super versatile. If you only want
one eyeshadow palette this is the one to have.
CharlotteTilbury lip cheat in pillow talk. I don’t even know how many of these I
have gone through. Its just the perfect shade if you like wearing nude, mauve
or pink lipsticks. It also helps the lipstick last longer, I am never without
it.
The
Glossier Boy Brow is one of the best brow gels out there. I don’t have sparse
eyebrows and I’m quite happy with their natural shape therefore the brow boy is
perfect for me as it adds a bit of colour and keeps my hairs in place. The
reason why this product stands out from the rest is because its formula is more
like a pomade than a gel, it doesn’t leave your brows feeling crispy but keeps
them in place.
2017 was the year I discovered cushion
products and totally fell in love with them. I have tried many, but the two
that stood out were the ChanelLes Beiges Healthy Glow Touch foundation and the Lancome Cushion BlushSubtil.
The Chanel
Les Beiges Healthy Glow Touch foundation is an absolute staple, it’s the only
foundation I wear. It’s a foundation that actually looks like skin but slightly
better. It doesn’t cake, or sit on top of the skin. It blends like a dream
leaving a subtle glow and leaving your face feeling great. If your into light
to medium coverage foundations, I could not recommend this one enough.
Lancome
Cushion Blush Subtil in 032 splash corail. I like my blush to look natural
and this is the best one I have found. It’s the perfect shade for my skin tone
and it actually lasts longer than powder blushes.
I have to say I have the worst dark circles
in the world it doesn’t matter how much I sleep or how much water I drink they
are always there. To this day I still haven’t found a concealer or corrector
that can hide them. But the best one I have tried is definitely the Bobbi Brown
corrector in light to medium bisque. It has amazing coverage and when used with
a beauty sponge does not cake.
Best skincare discovery of the year has to
be Sarah Chapman, I still haven’t tried a product from the range that I haven’t
liked. If I had to choose a single product that would be the SkinesisOvernight Facial, it doesn’t have the best smell but you get used to it in
the end. I love how nice my skin feels the morning after, hate how pricey it is
thought.
Best lipstick has to go to the NarsAudatious lipstick in Anita, purely based on the fact that I love how it
looks whenever I see pictures of myself wearing it. Its not the most long
lasting lipstick but the shade is so nice that I don’t mind reapplying.
And to end this incredibly long post I wanted
to mention the YSLBlack Opium perfume as my favourite perfume of 2017. I have to say I am
particularly weird when it comes to perfumes, I hate most of them. Love how
they smell on others but hate when their on me. When I find a perfume I love I
am absolutely faithful to it. The last perfume I used I had been using for a
bit under 10 years exclusively.
The black opium perfume smells so good.

I love the look of that Charlotte Tilbury palette but couldn't make up my mind and because it's limited edition, naturally I'm sure it's probably all gone now. And I agree with you on the Bobbi Brown corrector! There aren't really any other correctors on the market that appeal to me aside from that one, and although I don't use it every day I think it's a great product and there's a reason it's been in Bobbi Brown's line for so long.
