So many new eyeshadows to choose from 2016, but I somehow managed to narrow it down to a very solid 16 (I started with around 36 or so). I reviewed a lot of the Anastasia singles range, which is part of what made it harder to make a really concise best of list this year.
What were your favorites?
You definitely don't have to splash out to get a quality eyeshadow, even when you're buying shades individually! (This is especially true with more shimmery formulas.) Normally, I use $15 as my marker being budget-friendly and higher-end, but for single eyeshadows, I felt like the $10 mark was...
Here are my top 10 cream eyeshadows that I reviewed in 2016! No surprise that over half the list is ColourPop, which has such an outstanding cream eyeshadow formula with nearly neverending releases!
What were your favorites?
They can't all be winners, right? These were the ten most disappointing products (often formulas, not just a specific shade) that I had the fun of testing this year...
What were your disappointments?
It was not a particularly good year for eyeliners--at least not from what I tried--there were a slew of disappointing ranges and shades, but there were still a few gems that I reviewed this past year!

If the low- or no-buy is in place because of a more important financial goal, try...
What kind of gloss do I like? I tend to prefer really opaque coverage or else very sparkly, sheerer coverage--and if you can combine both for me, I'm even more pleased!
What were your favorites?
These are my favorite liquid lipsticks that I reviewed in the last year! My personal preference is for the kind that don't fully dry down to a flat, matte finish, as I find them more forgiving and comfortable to wear, so my best of list certainly reflects that preference. If you like more of a...
Well, this was incredibly difficult even narrowing it down to 32, and I ended up strategizing my picks by making sure to include some of the best formulas that came out, even though I would have easily been able to double my favorites just due to the sheer volume of new lipsticks released and...
In what was easily a year that saw an enormous number of lipstick releases, there were a lot of great shades to choose from, even if you were on a budget from brands like ColourPop, Maybelline, and Makeup Geek. I did, specifically, exclude liquid lipsticks (which, for the first time, will have its...
