Think of these as the products that I remember fondly; they’re the ones that come to mind if you said, “Christine, wear whatever you want today, you don’t have to test a thing!”

These are products that I reviewed or rediscovered in 2019 that I want to make more accessible so I can use them at least a few times in 2020, but the list below features mostly newer products that tickled my fancy.

Products like Milk Makeup Blitzed, Fenty Beauty Wattabrat, Fenty Beauty Afternoon Snack/Mo’ Hunny, and Natasha Denona Icy Nude/Pink Champagne are already in or on my vanity and have been since their initial launches.  I’ve routinely reached for Natasha Denona Biba and Nude palettes since their debuts, and I suspect that Pat McGrath Nocturnal Nirvana will be one to return to while I’ve rediscovering Sydney Grace’s Autumn’s Reign palette in the last couple of months.

I’m going to have to go through my vanity and pull out some old favorites to make room for a few others on this list.  One thing I know about myself, and what products I didn’t end up using as much as I thought I would from 2018 in 2019… these products must be accessible; so those lip products need to be my vanity drawer or else I’ll forget and/or be too lazy and use something in  the drawer already.
