2018 Beauty Top 10

[Tamara76]

Happy New Year, Y'all!   I cannot believe 2018 is coming to a close tonight! 

I wanted to share my Top 10 Beauty Products of 2018 and I hope you'll share yours, too!

Spoiler

O.k.... I know it's more than 10, but I have a few ties. 😉 These may not all have been released in 2018, but they were new to me this year.

1. Best Eyeshadow Palette:  Natasha Denona Gold Palette and Pat McGrath Mothership V Bronze Seduction - I seriously could not choose between these and I love both of these brands and women so much! 

2. Best Highlighter:  ABH x Amrezy.  Hands down.  Best. Highlighter. Ever.

3.  Best Lipstick:  This one was a 3 way tie for me - ABH Liquid Lipstick in Dolce (I love pretty much all my ABH Lippies), Gourmande Girls Liquid Lipstick in Desire (My fave indie brand) and Sephora Lip Stories in All Washed Up (for sentimental reasons because it reminds me of the fun we had at Sephoria) - My all time fave lipsticks are PMG Matte Trance, and I got several this year,  but I totally forgot to include them in my list (whoops)

4.  Best Lip Savior:  Sara Happ Lip Slip - I cannot tell you how much I love this stuff!

5.  Best Perfume:  It's a tie between Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia (this is my all time fave perfume ever - I have had people follow me down 3 escalators to ask what I'm wearing, stop me in the hall at work and on the street, ask to sniff me in the bathroom at a restaurant [true story!!!!]) and Killian Princess (a new fave I discovered at Sephoria)

6.  Best Body Shimmer:  Fenty Fairy Bomb Shimmer Powder in any shade - you can wear this all over and the sparkle is so real!

7.  Best Hair Product:  Olaplex 3 - OMG!  This has really helped me on the journey to making my hair healthy again!

8.  Most Beautiful Product:  This is a tie between Dolce & Gabbana Blush Rosa Duchessa in Provocative 40 and Rodin Luxury Illuminating Powder in Siren - These are perhaps the most beautiful pieces of art I have in my makeup collection!

9.  Cutest Product:  Sephora x Museum of Ice Cream Sprinkle Brush Set - I mean, just look at it! ❤️

10.  Best Skin Care:  Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask - Smells lovely, looks lovely and does wonders for my skin

Please share your faves below!  You don't have to use the same categories as me or any categories at all - I just want to know what your faves were in 2018! ❤️

Thanks for sharing, @Seymore3!  You have exquisite taste!   I am also a huge fan of the ND Diamond and Blush palettes!  Beautiful pic!💗

[suzyo]

@Seymore3 I love the Decadence palette too! The only reason I didn't list any eyeshadows is cuz that's my most neglected category 😞

[suzyo]

It was kinda tough to come up with a list. I didn't buy that many new things, so I pretty much love everything I bought this year, but it would be too much to list everything.

Spoiler

Eve Lom Radiance Transforming Mask
Natasha Denona Diamond & Blush Palette Darya
Olaplex 3 (and the shampoo & conditioner)
Tatcha Indigo Cream
MUFE Ultra HD Soft Light Liquid Highlighter
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Finish Setting Powder
Sephora Pro Featherweight Blending Brush #93
Escada Sorbetto Rosso Perfume
Hourglass Ambient Blush Palette

I had the toughest time choosing a perfume. I only bought 3, the Escada and 2 Tom Ford, Soleil Blanc and Vanille Fatale. Vanille Fatale is my most worn so far but Escada makes my favorite perfumes of all time.

[Tamara76]

@suzyo Thanks for sharing!   Great list!  I love Escada perfumes, too!  The Diamond and Blush Palettes were a pleasant surprise to me, too!  I also loved Olaplex 3, although I don’t plan to repurchase the shampoo and conditioner - I don’t like the texture they gave my hair.  

[Titian06]

@suzyo - I love the Escada Sorbetto Rosso, too!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Tamara76 I'm going to have to try that Gucci cologne after reading your rave review!  

[Tamara76]

@greeneyedgirl107 It smells soooo beautiful! I love it!

[sister13]

I was just thinking about some favorites! Will think about it some more and report back! @Tamara76 💗💕💗💕

[Tamara76]

Thank you so much, @HelenBT! ❤️

[blackkitty2014]

@Tamara76, I’m now excited for the Smashbox x Vlada highlighter. I saw it on sale the other day and I bought it for $12-$13. Hopefully Sephora won’t send my order to someone else again 😂

[cianni]

@blackkitty2014 ahh you’re gonna love it! I picked one up on sale earlier this year 😍 what color did you get?

[blackkitty2014]

@cianni, I’m so ignorant about the brand. I remembered drooling over everyone haul with this and didn’t realize they have different colors 😂. I got GIlded Rose which is the only color available at the time and it went out of stock pretty quickly right after I purchased it 

[cianni]

@blackkitty2014 oh no that’s good though! That’s the color I wanted but I also grabbed it on sale and all that was left was Rosemantic which is SO dark on my skin tone lmao I can literally only wear it as blush 😂
