What brand would you love to try in 2022?
They’re not totally new-to-me, but they haven’t been reviewed previously: Ace Beaute (which I shared swatches of a few weeks ago).

I really want to try Florasis. Their packaging and the makeup itself looks so beautiful that you almost don’t want to use it.
Just looked the brand up and it is stunning! Those lipsticks are do die for – especially one that’s called Autumn Cinnabar….but so many shades were just gorgeous. Love it.
Clionadh 😍✨ Their eyeshadows look out of this world.
Terra Moon, and maybe Clionadh, too. That’s for their eyeshadows. Particularly their multi-chrome shadows. Some of which are breathtaking!
I would also love to try a lipstick or two from Gucci and also Natasha Denona. Both formulas look truly comfortable and lovely!
Em Cosmetics and Phytosurgence! I especially want to try the So Soft cream blush sticks from Em, as they seem to be both oil and fragrance free. I’m also interested in their eyeshadow palettes and other blushes. And the Phytosurgence stuff looks so smooth! I’d love if they came out with some cooler tones.
Valentino lipstick!
I’d love it if LORAC and Clionadh were available to me in a bricks and mortar store. Ditto Sydney Grace. I just really resent paying way over the odds because of shipping charges and exchange. I’d rather go to a store and know what the products are going to cost me from the get-go.
Yes, I absolutely totally agree about Lorac at least. I have just paid a FORTUNE for standard International shipping to Aus for my Fairytale Forest palette that I couldn’t be bothered waiting for Beauty Bay to acquire (they offer much better shipping rates).
And I would love to see and swatch things for myself too.
SG is another one I would LOVE to see here…
I want to try Clionadh, if anything I want would ever be in stock. Sigil Inspired/Tammy Tanuka and Glaminatrix, also.
Realistically: Pat McGrath and a bunch of SK and Japanese brands. Very unlikely to happen but boy would I love it if it did: Glaminatrix and Smashbox. Big splurge as in “if I won the lottery” because I can’t justify it to myself otherwise: Tom Ford. Honorary mention: would love to work up the courage to order more from Sydney Grace but this time stick (mostly) to mattes as I went a little overboard with all things shimmery before…
NYE is still a month away but would it be to tacky to place a wish now to go in person to get *shiny* makeup from where it comes from? And contribute towards the local economy…
And how could I forget?! I want to try Carolina Herrera’s luscious lipsticks!
I really want to try some makeup from some of the Asian brands like Florasis . Their packaging and presentation is really pretty! Also would like to try products from Lunar beauty, Cle de Peau, Shine By SD cosmetics, Skin care by Fenty and Dr. Lara Devegan.
I would like to see some of Viseart’s new quads and palettes that have just been released. This brand is new to me and I haven’t purchased anything from them before.
By Terry is another brand that I have just purchased from and I would like to see how this brand’s palettes stack up against PMG or ND as they are in a similar price range.
As far as indie brands are concerned, I don’t know many living here in Aus, as there are quite a few in the US.
I like Viseart in terms of application and such but the color intensity leaves something to be desired.
I’d like to try some things from Byredo, Natasha Denona, and Florasis.
The brands I’m most interested in trying next year are Auric, Nabla, and Rituel de Fille. Those are the ones where I’m interested in multiple products from the brand. There’s a handful of brands I haven’t purchased from before where there is a specific product I would like to have (Valentino lipstick in R22 Rosso Valentino, Digital Dust blush duo from Melt, the Elcie Cosmetics powder) but I’m not interested in the lines overall or craving a face full of Valentino products.
There’s a few brands known primarily for their eyeshadows that I am interested in, but I kind of overdid it with Clionadh and Terra Moons this year so I’ll likely put those companies on hold and focus more on base and setting products, and likely tools like a good set of brushes instead of whatever I find on sale at the drugstore that I think might work.
I have the Ace Beaute Blossom Passion Palette and its a pink lovers heaven. I love it! Pink is my favorite color but I don’t wear a ton of pink eyeshadow because I can’t normally pull it off. The Blossom Passion Palette made me want to try wearing pink eyeshadow more. The quality is fantastic!
I’ve been trying more Indie Brands lately, I made a custom palette from Lethal Cosmetics and then ordered some of their new multichromes as soon as they came out. I also bought the Don’t Be Jelly Palette from Alien Cosmetics. I want to try more Indie Brands especially ones that are really good at making duochromes and multichromes. Any suggestions?
Terra Moons comes to mind and Glaminatrix.
Decorte or Danessa Myricks
I will definitely try THE ORDINARY at last, since I have just received my order and started using it and also VIEVE as their palettes look amazing! Also some LISA ELDRIDGE products, don’t know which ones yet.
I have never tried Sydney Grace, Terra Moons or Clionadh. When I found out you were going to be collaborating with SG, I knew it would be a good one! It’s thanks to your product reviews that I came across these brands.
The quality of their eyeshadows seems great, and your reviews convince me every time to add another product to my wishlist. Which is a good thing, because I’m usually tough to convince.
Concur with ace Beauty! And Terra Moon and Give Me Glow.
