2020 in review: my most used discoveries and news this year. What great products have you discovered?
I discovered Fenty Diamond Bombs <3 !!! I’m trying to collect all of them. I have the “How many Carats” and “Rose Rave” I think their is a gold one called “Royal Icing” 😊
This year I discovered the wonderful world of Tatcha, Hourglass and The Ordinary. Tatcha and The Ordinary have literally transformed my complexion. Hourlgass primer is remarkable!

Top Makeup Finds in 2020
Velour Lashes: Minimalist Lashes and their Lash n Go Eyeliner. I’ve always loved lashes but Velour’s liner with lash glue makes it SO fast to throw on a pair. Plus their lashes are durable and reusable.
MILK: holographic highlighter in Supernova. Lip & cheek in Quickie. Hydro grip primer. After ordering a bunch of mini sets, these three have become my staples. Love blue/lavender highlighters and berry tints! Primer is sticky in a good way and my makeup lasts longer when I use it.
FARSALI: face oils. Unicorn has a beautiful pink/purple shimmer and rose gold is my staple when I don’t want to wear makeup but still glow.
Tatcha: Kissu lip mask. Must have in my opinion. Little goes a long way and my lips never chap or dry out.
Hourglass: Veil setting powder. Had a bad experience with setting powder and avoided it for years. Tried this brand and I am obsessed.
Glossier: brow flick and boy brow. I was seeing this brand everywhere and finally ordered some. Took my brow game to another level. So natural and full.
Benefit: Roller liner brown eyeliner. Was looking for a brown liner at Sephora and a lady working recommended this. It’s my exclusive liner theses days. I also love Benefits precisely my brow pencil when I want to give my brows some oomph.
NARS: eyeshadow primer. Grips my shadow and yet not too sticky that I barely feel it on.
YENSA: silk bronzing base. Got it in a Ipsy bag and use it so much. Love cream bronzers.
NYX: Control freak eyebrow gel. Lightweight and doesn’t flake and doesn’t cause brow damage. Gets daily use.
Clarins: Lip Oil in Honey. This color is so versatile and can layer over any of my other lip products or wear alone.
Anastasia BH: Moonchild palette. These highlighters are everything I dreamed of having. So over gold highlighters and these are perfect in several cool tone varieties.
Dashing Diva: Magic Press press on nails and Red Therapy base shield. When salons closed, I was looking for a cheap and easy option to do my nails. The base shield prevents any damage from glue and the nails last about 10 days or more.
Honorable mentions: Tarte Shape Tape, Maybelline BB Fresh cream, Revlon Triple stacked eyelash curler (the extra cushion is so nice and less damaging).
No mascara blew me away this year, mainly using up lots of samples before buying any more. Same with eyeshadow, mainly using random palettes from Ipsy.
