Best Beauty Discoveries of 2019
Hello loves! Welcome to the third post of twelve days of Chan-mas. Today I’m breaking down my favorite beauty finds of 2019. While there were some flops this year, I discovered 9 products that are amazing and I will continue to use going into 2020. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products!
If you’re following on Instagram - you know how obsessed I am with this product. I love using this as a daily moisturizer because it hydrates the skin without being too heavy. If you have combo/oily skin I recommend this product since it is oil free.
Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm
I had never tried a cleansing balm before this one, and now I understand the hype. This product easily removes all makeup without leaving the skin feeling greasy.
These makeup brushes are so soft and high quality, yet are super affordable. They are also the most aesthetically pleasing makeup brushes that I have ever used. These brushes can be purchased individually or in sets (I have both the face and eye combo set and the eyes only set).
ColourPop Lipstick in Lay Over
This is the perfect nude lipstick and I am so glad I discovered it this year. The lipstick is matte, not drying, pigmented, and only costs $7. I also love the shade LA Lady for a more bold look, but Lay Over is perfect for when you want a nude lip.
No Glossier product will ever top boy brow in my books, but this comes pretty close. It’s a liquid lip that is not long wearing, but has incredible shine. I love the push up applicator - it’s super easy to apply.
Although this setting powder is on the pricey side, it is 100% worth it. It doesn’t break me out, keeps my face matte, and a little goes a long way (my original jar lasted almost a year).
Not only are the JSxMorphe brushes a hit with me, but so were the sponges. Not only are they soft and seamlessly blend makeup, but the sharp edge makes it easy to blend makeup in tricky areas like the nose.
IGK Mixed Feelings Leave in Drops
If you highlight or bleach your hair, you need to try this product. It brightens up blonde hair and keeps your color from getting brassy (and it truly makes a difference!). My favorite way to use this product is by mixing it in with a leave in conditioner and apply it on wet hair.
I discovered this product in July when the makeup artist for my friend Anna’s wedding used it on me. The thick tip allows you to quickly fill in the brows, while still allowing precision. The best part is - it’s only $2.
What was your favorite beauty discovery this year? I can’t wait to test out more products in 2020!
