The Top 100 Beauty Products, Q2 2018
Best of 2018
April 1st - June 30th
There are so many products that release each month (maybe even every week!) that it can be hard to keep track of them all, and even great products can get lost in the mix. During the last three months, I’ve reviewed just over 1,000 individual shades across 46 brands.
Some of my personal favorites:
- Giorgio Armani Luce (101) — a gorgeous, sparkling long-wearing gloss
- Bite Beauty Saffron Fire — a vibrant, medium coral lipstick
- Urban Decay 66 — a medium-dark mauve lipstick (how could I resist a mauve lip??)
- Urban Decay Overdrive — a pearly teal eyeliner (again, me falling for a long-wearing teal eyeliner? impossible!)
- Stila Vivid Smoky Quartz — a deep, golden bronze liquid eyeshadow with lots of depth
- Marc Jacobs Beauty Fantasy — a rosy copper, liquid highlighter for summer glow
- Marc Jacobs Beauty Spotlight — a silvery-gold, cream highlighter for a dewy finish
- ColourPop Slay-Farer — a shimmery, blue-teal eyeshadow
- NYX Rose Dust — a rosy copper eyeshadow with a metallic finish
- Fenty Beauty Sand Castle/Mint’d Mojito — a taupe/blue highlighting duo
- Pretty Vulgar Lilac Lust — a shimmery pop of lavender for cheeks
- Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Beauty Light Wand — a champagne gold, liquid highlighter
- Charlotte Tilbury Light (2) Hollywood Flawless Filter — a soft, peachy gold luminizer
