With over a thousand reviews and swatches, I've tested my way through the majority of NARS products and releases, both past and present, so I have a good idea of what NARS best products are! In the last two years, NARS has revamped some of their core products, too, like their standard Lipsticks (now...
No real surprises on this list--shade extensions from my favorite formulas were a pleasure to test, like Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy, Pat McGrath MatteTrance, and MAC Lipstick (which is a reliable favorite!). New formulas like Fenty Beauty Slip Shine and Bite Beauty Lip Crayons made it onto the list,...
Lipstick releases never really cease. It's incredible how many lip products are released each year, even in a year where manufacturing and supply chains were disrupted! I expect we'll continue to see an onslaught of lip products in 2021, and here's hoping that more of us will be able to wear it in...
Liquid lipsticks have been trending down--at least in terms of reviews here, which is a partial reflection of trends, what readers are into, and what is releasing!--since 2019, though I think more readers reached for some past releases to get through mask-wearing during 2020! That being said, there...
As promised, next in gloss favorites is all about more pigmented glosses that I reviewed in the past year that I enjoyed! I was particularly drawn to Lisa Eldridge's new Lipgloss formula, while Pat McGrath OpuLUST fulfilled all sparkling, metallic gloss dreams!
If you're unfamiliar with how I like to do...
Despite 2020 being NOT the year for lip product wearing for many readers, I managed to review more glosses this year than in 2019; I tested and reviewed over 180 lipglosses! I find that with gloss, it's helpful to break them out by opacity, so these are ones that caught my eye during the past year...
Pat McGrath is no stranger to lip colors as the brand has expanded all of their formulas over the last few years. If you're looking to try Pat McGrath for the first time in 2020 or if you're just looking to explore beyond shades you already own, this post should help guide you to the top-performing...
It's so hard to pick favorites! I really do suffer from appreciating different finishes, types of formulas, undertones, and a plethora of shades. Lisa Eldridge's Velvet Lipsticks were as good as billed, which I finally reviewed in 2019 (they sold out so quickly that I was waiting for a restock to...
How many lipsticks did you wear this year? I might have donned some 750+ lipsticks (across all types, pencil, liquid, traditional) over the last year! Lipstick is the most competitive category; it's the one that I feel like I'll never, ever cover well because there are so many formulas that...
As I mentioned in the previous best of post featuring my favorite liquid lipsticks under $15... there weren't nearly as many liquid lipsticks reviewed in 2019 as there were in prior years, which I think reflects a trend away from liquid lipstick, generally, though there are still plenty of liquid...
