Happy Monday guys! Today I wanted to round up the best of beauty of 2019. A lot of these products have been my go to’s for years and some are new. I am breaking it down by beauty, hair and skincare. Let’s get started!
- FLAWLESS FILTER- I started using this product early 2019 and it became a staple in my routine once spring and summer rolled around. I especially love this product on beach days as it gives you that gorgeous glow! I use this before I put on my foundation.
- Charlotte Tilbury Blush (pillowtalk)– This product came out in 2019 and is hands down my favorite bush to date! The color is perfection and I love the subtle highlight it gives as well.
- Tula Rose Eyebalm– If you know you know haha! Tula released the already highly coveted eye balm in a rose gold version and it is amazing. It is one of the first things I put on in the mornings and I love how refreshing it is
- Fenty Lipgloss– I have used this for years and I have all three shades! It is a very hydrating lipgloss and the colors are universally flattering.
- Marc Jacobs Coconut Bronzer– This bronzer has been my go to for over a year. It smells delicious too!
- Bobbi Brown Eye Palette– My drawers are overflowing with eye palettes but this is one I have reached for more than others in 2019. The colors are stunning and I love the mix of matte and shimmers
- Benefit Highlight Pencil– Use this product to highlight your brown, the inner corners of your eye and your cupids bow.
- ABH Brown Pencil– I probably do not need to even talk about this product. A tried and true favorite by many. I actually use this in two shades, blonde and auburn.
- Marc Jacobs Lipgloss – another product I have talked about for years and still my favorite. The only downfall is that there are not many colors!
- Setting Spray– A classic! I have used this for years as well and it truly makes your make up stay all day. I highly suggest using a setting spray if you use any powders on your face
- Nudestix Bronzer – A newer find, but a quick favorite. I love to use this product for contouring. Using a stick makes everything more precise and this product melts in your skin.
- St. Tropez Bronzer– My go to self tanner. I love this formula the best followed by the marshmellow formula
- Buxom Mascara– Another classic favorite of mine and this mascara has the best brush. I have yet to find my HOLY GRAIL mascara, but 2020 I will rectify that.
- Maybelline Lipstick– I get asked every holiday season about my red lipstick and it is a drug store find!
- Drunk Elephant Bronzer– Since I self tan, my face can get pretty pale. This drunk elephant face bronzer has been a life changer. You mix it with your moisturizer for an instant glow.
- Benefit Highlight- A very natural highlight but you can also pack a punch with it by layer it on. Also how cute is benefit packaging?
- Charlotte Tilbury Setting Powder– One product I can NOT live without in my beauty routine. I use this under my eyes to set my concealer and then in my T zone.
BEST OF HAIR
- Slip Hair Ties– I switched over to these hair ties when I style my hair and I love how gentle they are. Olivia swipes them from me all the time haha.
- Kerastase Shampoo– If you have been around here for awhile, you know Kerastase is my go to hair brand. I tried many this year and as soon as I switched back, I noticed a BIG difference. I will say, if you try one type of Kerastase shampoo and are not a fan, try another one. There are many Kerastase shampoos that I did not prefer, but once I found “the one” my hair was forever changed.
- Dyson Blow Dryer– a big hair investment but the time you save is worth it!
- T3 Whirl– I have been using this for years. Hands down the best curling iron and your curls last for days
- Wet Brush– I love how large this wet brush is. Pro tip- always brush your ends first when they are wet and they work from the root down.
- Oribe Texture Spray– I do not use many products in my hair but if I am headed out for a shoot and my hair is super fresh, I use this to add a bit of grit and volume to my hair
- Kerastase Hair Treatment– I use this product twice a week of my ends before bed. It prevents breakage and smells amazing!
- Kerastase Hair Mask- I use this 1-2 a week and it leaves my hair strong and healthy.
- Oribe Royal Blowout- another magical hair product! This is the heat protectant I use in my hair and the bottle last FOREVER! I use this every time on damp hair before styling.
- Colleen Rothschild Hair Mask– another hair mask that have been using for over a year. I alternate this one with my Kerastase mask.
BEST OF SKINCARE
- Origins Charcoal Mask– While I do not break out often, I have been using this mask as a spot treatment and LOVE it. Use it for 3 days and your blemish will be gone! I also use it on my T-Zone.
- Billie Razor– The hype is real on this razor and I love that they send you replacement razor heads in the mail.
- Loccitane Almond Shower Gel– I have been using this for years as my shaving gel and will never go back.
- SKII Facial Treatment– This product made my skin extremely soft, reduced the size of my pores and it brought out that inner glow.
- Tula Face Wash– I can go on and on about this face wash. It is hands down my favorite I have EVER used and I love that it has probiotics in it. Great for all skin types.
- Peter Thomas Roth Hydrating Spray– This is a new product I have been using over the last couple months. The spray instantly refreshes your makeup and hydrates your face. It has been amazing thru these winter months.
- Sunday Riley Luna– Sunday Riley products are new to me but best sellers at sephora. While they are pricy, the product packs a MAJOR punch.
- No More Baggage- This is a product a lot of my friends talked about on instagram and I gave it a go. It is one of those products that you see work pretty quickly and it does leave your undereyes looking much refreshed. I use this for events or photoshoots.
- Tula Dual Action Pads– One of my favorite Tula products. These pads gently exfoliate your skin and leave your skin feeling refreshed (like a facial!)
- Tula Moisturizer and Tula Beauty Sleep– I have used the Tula Moisturizer for years and have yet to find anything else I like better. The Beauty Sleep is a rather new step to my routine and has been a game changer. I use this at night and I wake up with my skin feeling extremely soft and hydrated. I truly believe this product has changed my skin and given it that youthful glow.
- Colleen Rothschild Masks– I have raved about these products for years and they are still my favorite masks. The charcoal on in particular is the one I just after trips. I swear by these masks.
- Drunk Elephant Virgin Oil– The holy grain of facial oils. My mom and I always joke that we would bathe in this oil if we could haha. It is filled with critical antioxidants that protect your skin from environmental stressors. It is also a clean beauty product!
