BEST 10 Make-up/Beauty Products of 2017

Girl!!! This is my subject! AHHHH! I can't wait! Let's get started!

{Disclaimers before we get started, what works for me, may not work for you, so just keep that in mind😉}

1. The Jaclyn Hill palette by MORPHExJaclynHill

I can not even begin to tell you the love relationship that I have with this palette! All of the shades are amazing and it is the only palette that you need in your life. Everything bends like a dream and it is always stunning no matter what look I do with it! Some of the shadows even feel wet! Like literally wet. Lol. That is how creamy they are... The possible outcomes that you can get with this palette is 6,545. With that being said, that is using 3 each time and with no repetition, so there for you can just use 2 colors which I do a lot and you can get more! This 35 single eyeshadow palette retails for $38. (You can even use Morphe affiliate codes to get, I think, 10-15% off. That will go to that affiliate and a couple are LauraLee, and MannyMua. Those are the main ones that I watch or you don't even have to use the code, but who doesn't like to save money right?!)

2. Modern Renaissance by Anastasia Beverly Hills

Lets go ahead and get the eyeshadow palettes out of the way. 😉

This packaging gives me LIFE! I live that it has the velvet feel to it and it is a heavier weighing palette. It gives me so much inspiration to get me into warmer pinkish warm fall colored tones. The shimmers are great and the matte shadows are too! It is a little powdery, but I can live with that. Once you tap off the excess, which I do with every eyeshadow that I use, and it works great! I like one that is a little more on the 'powdery' side just because I feel like it blends better. This palette retails for $42.

3. Neutrogena Hydro Boost (hydrating serum)

Fact, I have very oily skin in the summer. Normally in the winter too, but it has been extra cold this year! I could not find a moisturizer that didn't make my skin oiler than it already was and I finally found out what to do. All I was using that  I know that are made for moisturizing was lotion, oil based hydrators. I youtubed it and found that serums are better because that are lighter on the skin and this particular one is oil-free. I have not had any problems and I have had it for the whole year and I am just now running out. I only use 2 pumps for my whole face and it comes out to about the size of a sweet pea/english pea. This retails for $19.99.

4. Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner

I did not believe in toners and did not see a point in them. Girl, can I tell you I was wrong! Oh, so wrong! This has made my dark spots on my face vanish keeps away pimples for as long as I use it!

"Salicylic acid is one of acne's biggest enemies. You grab for a product with it the second you see a zit invading your face. You slather it on a pimple at night and oftentimes in the morning your pimple is dried up and way less noticeable. But what exactly does salicylic acid do, and what kind of acne is it best for? We asked two top dermatologists and a cosmetic chemist to break down how salicylic acid works and why it's such a popular choice for getting rid of breakouts."

Apparently this is the amazing ingredient in it and this is the main reason why it works so well! It honestly does like it says and dries it out and makes it go away. Side note, there is another product that I want to try by Origins that has the salicylic acid in it. This Hydro Boost serum retails for $8.49.

5. L'Oréal Voluminous Original/Waterproof

I live for this so much that I have it is original and water proof. LOL. It is amazing, obvi. 😜 This mascara makes my lashes look so full and long without being clumpy. It gets right down to the base of the lashes too! It is also from the drug store, so it is on the cheaper side so you're not spending $30 for a mascara. (Don't worry, I have purchased them at that price, too.) This one without a doubt is on my keep list for forever! Even if I don't put make-up on that day, I will put this mascara on. This mascara retails for $7.99.

6. Champagne Pop / Flower Child (split pan) by BECCA x Jaclyn Hill

I honestly don't know if you can get the split pans anymore. I think they were limited edition. Oops, sorry! I just have to have this one in here though! This blush is the perfect color! I have a light/medium skin tone. I'm normally the shade ivory in foundations if that can tell you anything. Then in the summer I get a little more tan, but not too much. It has such a pretty light pink, almost sun kissed natural blush look. Don't even get me started on the highlighter. OMG! I am so in love with this! It literally is a champagne color with very fine rose goldish glitter. (I promise it is not a chunky glitter.) Girl! This is a must have! Since it is not in a split pan, you can even get either or if you wish to. They will not let you down! Flower Child retails for $32 and Champagne Pop retails for $38.

7. Sexy Amber by Michael Kors

I'm not going to lie, I got the little bottle because it was so expensive. But it is SO WORTH IT! It is a very sexy grown up woman smell, not really a  flowery or sweet smelling perfume, and it is the only perfume that I own. I do not wear them and that should tell you something considering I spent a pretty penny for it. Lol. I wear this on dates or parties that we go to. Pretty much anything special and I want to be 'a little extra' for. I fell in love with this scent the first time I smelled it. I will always keep this gem on my shelf at all times! This perfume retails from $62 or you can get the roll on for $30.

8. JACLYN HILL'S FAVORITE BRUSH COLLECTION by Morphe x Jaclyn Hill

I, without a doubt, only need this collection for ALL the make up I do. From my face to eyes to lips! Once I got engaged, I bought this collection because I needed more brushes then what I had at the house since I am going to be doing my make-up as well as the maid of honor and my 2 bridesmaids. I wanted something to make my life easier and not have to worry about getting the right eyeshadow look on 4 different eyes! Plus it will eliminate on cleaning so many brushes. I will have to say that my absolute most favorite from the whole collection is the Morphe R2. Woah!😱 I use it for bronzing the face with a bronzer I'm about to mention. 😉 The travel case that it comes in is out of this world! This collection comes with 23 brushes and the luxe HH Snakeskin Case. It is a hard case that closes up to where your brush bristles don't get all bend upand out of shape, while it also can lay out all the brushes when opened. Retails for $155, buying separate would be $213. (Morphe affiliate codes also work on this.😊)

9. Butter Bronzer by Physicians Formula

This drug store bronzer will take you to a tropical paradise any time of the year! Dang this smells amazing! The butter bronzer is so easy to blend and you can even contour with it too since it comes in a lighter shade now, also. I just have the shade ‘bronzer’, but they have light (light bronzer) and medium (just 'bronzer') now. It has never let me down, no matter what foundation I use, heck, or if I use any! Butter Bronzer retails for $14.99.

10. Aquarius (by Kathleen Lights) & Zuma by Colour Pop

Whew! Last, but not least! I am so amazed my the formula that Colour Pop gives for the liquid lipsticks, from ultra blotted lips to ultra glossy lips. These two shades are so well complementing to my skin and there nothing that I love more than a pinkish nude lip! It is by far my favorite lip formula that I have tried. You will not be disappointed. I haven't tried anything else from this brand, but I am excited to! Stay tuned in 2018 for more finds from CP! These are drug store price, but I don't know if they are available in stores yet. From word of mouth, I think it is suppose to be launching in Sephora. I take that back. It is in Sephora, but they only have 8 items... bummer. They're just collections. The liquid lips range from the price point of $6.00-$6.50 individual.
