2018 was another great year filled with tons of product discoveries, and there was no shortage of high-quality products, regardless of price point and type. I'm looking forward to seeing what products and trends get pushed in 2019. Here's a round-up of all of my best of 2018 posts:
Here are 16 products I still clung to in 2018 that came out in previous years, just to give you a little view into long-time products that continue to stand the test of time. I love trying new products, so I tend to switch and move products around not because I've discovered better ones so much as...
I've shared a lot of my favorites from the 4,000+ products I've reviewed this year, but I thought it would be neat to go through and see what products made it into my "vanity" or into my mental must-haves section of my "makeup library." (Frankly, my two vanity drawers are far too small to contain...
Between ColourPop Ultra Satin / Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks and Sephora Cream Lip Stains, we have ourselves a top 12! When Sephora re-did the shade range on their Cream Lip Stains, I picked up several to review, and I can see why it has been a popular, more budget-friendly formula for those who like...
In 2018, Bite Beauty released more shades in their Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick range, which I was all about, as I love this type of liquid lipstick: creamy, smooth, ultra-pigmented, and very comfortable to wear. I hope NARS adds Lip Covers to their permanent offerings, as it's a standout formula,...
Here's a look at the top 100 products reviewed over the last year, plus a summary of how many products and brands were reviewed and a break out of ratings! :) Now, this list is strictly according to the rating a product received. You can check out previous years' Top 100s here!
I love a pigmented gloss, and I'm so glad that 2018 gave us a lot more finishes to choose from, whereas the previous couple of years felt very heavy on the matte lipsticks. There were some richer coverage formulas this year, like Too Faced Juicy Fruits Comfort Lip Glaze, MAC Grand Illusion Liquid...
If there was any category that was hardest to keep short and sweet, it'd be this one: there are so many fantastic lipsticks out there, and brands release new shades nonstop. Sometimes I feel like I'm catching up on eyeshadow palettes, but I always feel buried under lip products. This category...
I'm pretty jazzed about this year's list for budget-friendly favorites in the lipstick category, as last year's list was only eight deep, but this year, lipsticks under $15 was almost a third of the lipstick content reviewed on the blog. That's in large part thanks to ColourPop Lux / Matte Lux...
This year, I decided to split lipgloss into two posts: one for sheerer shades and one for more pigmented shades. I find that how and when I reach for a particular gloss often depends on opacity. I like sheerer gloss with light to moderate shimmer, so they can work alone as well as layered. I was...
