Best In Beauty: Top 16 of 2016



It's time for my annual Best of Beauty! These are the products I used the most throughout the year:





Row 1:

Essence Lash Princess--A new fave that gives me crazy long lashes for $4.99

Ouai Hair Care Beach Spray--The best beach waves spray I've tried (that I didn't make myself).


MAC Lady Danger--My fave red--everyone asks what shade I wear, and it's usually this one.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation--The best foundation for my dry skin.






Row 2:

Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads--Soft skin in 5 minutes

Essie Gel Couture Polish--My nails easily last over a week with this--but you must use both the Essie gel couture polish and top coat--I've posted it on my social media many times.

Too Faced Palettes--I'm posting a pic of the new Peach palette, but this was the brand of palettes I used the most this year.



Davines Oi Hair Care--This is what I use on my hair before a blow out.





Row 3:

Buxom Full on Lip Cream--It's a sticky gloss with a minty feel that looks so pretty on lips. White Russian is my fave.

Hot Tools--I used several of their curling irons and wands the most over the year.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup--I got really into cleansing balms this year, and this was one of many I used.



Jessies Girl Liquid Liner--One of the best liquid liners, only $6.99, that I would put up against high end ones.




Row 4:

Target Up&Up Polish Remover--The scrubbers inside combined with the acetone make this the best polish remover I've ever tried, and I've tried them all. Glitter comes off easily.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Highlight--My favorite brand of highlighters. The Balm's Mary Lou Manizer was a close second.


Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb--I don't wear perfume often, but when I do, this makes the list.

Makeup Revolution Makeup Brushes--I loved using this type of brush for foundation, and this brand is super affordable.







Are any of these your faves as well?
Which of these have you tried?

  22. I need the cleaning bug to come bite me! I love up and up polish remover and too faced is one of my favorite brands for a lot of things, especially palettes! I will have to try that Mac color because red always looks so good on you and we have similar skin tone, eye color and hair color.

  26. I was very bummed with my lash princess purchase. It flaked and smudged terribly. A bad one perhaps? I had high hopes. Man, I can't believe how many things on this list I haven't tried!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Many things that I'd like to try and I chose 3 to the top :) Essence mascara, it seems to be really good, Armani foundation and Becca highlighter - I still didn't buy it, shame on me! Dear Elle, I'd like to thank you for being such a lovely friend, virtual or not, friends are always important! Hope you have an excellent 2017, with even more success than this year!

  34. I always look forward to these posts! The Essence Lash Princess made my list too. I can't believe I don't own Lady Danger. You wear red lips so well! I've loved the Essie Gel Couture line too and I really want the Peach palette. I've heard so many good things about the Jessies Girl liquid liner, I need to find it and give it a try. The Mary Lou-Manizer was my top highlight and I loved the oval foundation brushes too. Can't wait for 2017!

  35. Flowerbomb is one of my favourite perfumes as well, it smells so flowery and pretty but not too much. I wish you a wonderful 2017! :)
