0 Comments
Can you believe it's Christmas Eve?! AND the last day of 12 Days of Favorites!
I can't believe how fast the last 12 days have gone by! Blogging every day is NO JOKE! Props to anyone who does this regularly!
I may not be blogging every day for now, but I'm excited for what 2018 will bring! I'll be getting another post or two up before the new year so keep your eyes peeled!
Now, let's jump into Day 12 of 12 Days of Favorites: LIPS! Just like the pattern for this whole series, we're going to go in the order I apply products to my lips.
The first step I always do is moisturize my lips. I'm OBSESSED with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I've never used a lip treatment that has worked this well! Most of the time I apply this right before I go to bed. When I wake up my lips are incredibly soft and smooth. This is been a life saver during these colder months! I've gone through just about half the container already.
I also will apply this after I apply my foundation to make sure my lips are properly prepped for whatever lip color I apply that day. I only use this product when I'm home though. The one downside to this is that it's in a pot so you have to use your finger or the applicator that's included to use it. I'll use my regular lip balm tube whenever I'm at work or out and about because germs.
Are you surprised there's another Colourpop product in one of these posts yet again? I've never found a drugstore lip liner that's as creamy as the Colourpop Lippie Pencils. I have a couple liners from various higher end brands such as Urban Decay, but I always reach for these. Because they're just that awesome and I don't feel bad about using them up. It's a weird thing, but my brain won't let me use expensive products frequently sometimes solely because I paid a lot for them and don't want to use them up. These also come in a ton of shades. So if there's a particular color you need, chances are Colourpop will have it!
Last but certainly not least, the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb. Was it 2017 if Fenty Beauty isn't in a Best of Beauty round up? When Fenty Beauty launched, this was one of the products I was most drawn to. Which is odd for me because I'm definitely not regularly a gloss kinda person. I didn't purchase anything from the line right away. A lot of the people I followed said the gloss was nice but it wasn't a spectacular product. So when I walked in to my Sephora (which is one in JC Penny, so I was kind of shocked that it was in store), and I saw this, I knew I had to check it out!
First, it smells INCREDIBLE. I will admit there have been times I've opened it JUST to smell it, not gonna lie. Second, this gloss truly is the BEST shade! It goes with EVERYTHING! It looks AMAZING on my skin tone. Third, the formula is on point. It applies like a dream! It's not sticky or stringy. It makes my lips feel incredibly hydrated! And added bonus, THAT PACKAGING (insert heart eye emoji)!
My go to lip combo since I acquired the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb has been my Colourpop Aquarius Lippie Pencil topped with Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb! I've tried a few lip glosses in my day, one being the ever so popular Marc Jacobs gloss in Sugar Sugar. I never reach for that. It's nice, it's pretty, but this gloss is something really special. If I had to get rid of every gloss I owned and only keep one, this would be it. You really need to go out and try this gloss if you haven't already!
And there you have it! All the products I've been loving during 2017! What products are you more intrigued about? What are your favorite products in each category? What new products/releases do you hope to see in 2018? Are there any products that are on your list to try next year?
I hope you all have a Happy Holiday, whichever holiday you and your family celebrate! I hope you had an amazing 2017, and if you didn't, I hope you can find those moments in the year when you were truly happy! I can't wait for what 2018 will bring!
