This is not my “best of” list for 2016 yet – it’s simply my final quarterly favourites for the year. I’ll be posting my full favourites list for 2016 in January! Here’s what I’ve been enjoying from October to December:
Remember that for 2 of the past 3 months, I was essentially in makeup jail doing project Pan!
Hudpleie:
• MAC Lightful Softening lotion – amazed that I like this as much as I do. It’s pricey but it’s an effective toner with a citrusy scent. I’m uncertain about the brightening effects after using it for a month. and I do love the holographic bottle!
• DHC Deep Cleansing Oil – I’ll be doing a comprehensive review on this but this is effective and gentle. and I have a limited edition Alice in Wonderland bottle, which makes it even better!
• Farmacy New Day gentle exfoliating Grains – I got this travel size from Cat, who raves about this product and the Farmcy brand in general. This is my first ever Farmacy product and oh my goodness – the hype is real!
It’s a powder that you simply mix with water to make a paste. This leaves my skin feeling so soft and clarified, and has a small tightening effect. I’m certainly purchasing the full size of this when I run out! The full size isn’t even all that expensive at C$40 for 100g – that’s a lot of product.
• MAC studio moisture cream – review to come!
• Physician’s Formula Anti Aging Laser Resurfacing Serum – this is the second bottle I have of this and if I find it again, I’ll be sure to purchase more. This makes my skin so smooth and radiant, and it’s so affordable!
• The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ in Clementine – I got this as a present from a friend and it smells and tastes just like a juicy clementine! because the weather has gotten colder and drier, my poor lips have been suffering. I’ve been using this scrub about 3 times a week, in the mornings. aside from the sugar particles, it has oils in it that helps to moisturize my lips. prior to this lip scrub, I had only ever used the lush ones – this one has larger sugar granules compared to the LUSH.
• H&M Lip Rescue – It’s all about pampering my lips lately and this has been a great night time balm. I’ll always be a die-hard C.O. Bigelow supreme 2X Lip shine fan but this one from H&M ranks up there.
Kroppspleie:
• Biotherm Lait Corporel Body lotion – smells like grapefruit and sinks into my skin really well.
• Lavanila The healthy Deodorant in Vanilla Coconut – I like this scent even better than the Vanilla Grapefruit one.
Hårpleie:
• Lee Stafford Coco Loco blow & Go genius lotion – received this from Rachael and it makes my hair voluminous but defined and tamed. and it smells like a coconut tropical cocktail. The instructions say to use the size of a Brazil nut but I think I’m using slightly much more than that! I’m savouring every bit and I will need to find out how to get my hands on this locally!
Nails:
• Leighton Denny in Message in a bottle – I haven’t featured this on the blog yet but it’s a sheer pale grey with an opal pink glean. I need to purchase a back up of this!
• Cover girl Outlast in Being Blonde – I haven’t featured this either but I need to purchase a back up of this pronto too! It’s a metallic rose gold that applies like a dream – honestly, I think this is the best nail polish formula I’ve used all year.
Sminke:
• Nars Pro-Prime Smudge proof Eyeshadow Base – my preferred eye shadow primer that I’ve used so far.
• Mary Kay Undereye Corrector – review coming up soon
• Tony Moly Panda’s dream Brightening Eye Base – I thought this would be a gimmick because of the cutesy packaging, but this works wonders under concealers, especially those challenging ones like the too faced born This way Concealer or KATE Stick Concealer.
• MAC Smokey Mauve extra dimension Eye shadow – got this for my birthday and it’s a great for one shadow look
• H&M eye shadow in Shiitake – review here
• Buxom Eyeshadow in bold Bling – this was part of the recent Black Friday set and it’s a spectacular golden peach shade.
• ck One color Powder Eyeshadow in 730 Driven – this is an old favourite. It’s sooty olive-y brown that’s highly pigmented, smooth and long wearing. I found this at Winners years ago and sadly this line is discontinued.
• Tony Moly Eyetone Shimmer single shadow in S04 Latte brown – a great formula and wearable bronzey colour – purchased this in January in a Korean charm haul and costs around $5 only
• Surratt blush in Se Pomponner – from the November Sephora VIB sale haul. It’s scary looking in the pan (hot pink!) but it blends out so it looks seamless with the skin – this is beautiful for winter season months.
• Clinique Heather Pop Cheek Pop blush – also from the same Sephora haul as the Surratt blush but it is the polar opposite of the effect: this is very subtle cool pink shade that’s very easy to wear. This lasts really well on the skin.
• Kiko shade fusion Trio blush in 05 Marsala – review here. I actually wore this for Christmas Day.
• Clinique Black Honey praktisk talt leppestift – Dette er et klassisk produkt som jeg har gledet meg over i evigheter. Det er en mild leppestiftformel som tilbyr en bærbar plummisk nyanse på leppene mine. Jeg har hatt på meg dette ganske mye i desember og hadde også på meg dette på juledag!
• Muji Lip Liner i Rose – Jeg har brukt dette mye som min “leppekitering” for å jevne ut leppene mine – det er den ideelle MLBB -skyggen og den kremete bærer godt.
• Chulip tonet leppepomade i søt rosa – dette var en del av min japanske turnedgang, anmeldelse som kommer!
Verktøy:
• Bésame boudoir langt hårbehandlingspulverbørste – anmeldelse kommer snart!
• Rengjør sveipmakeupbørstepute (aka Color Switch Dupe)-Dette er en god tørre rengjøringsmiddel for børster som du ofte bruker. Jeg kjøpte dette i november og har brukt det praktisk talt daglig – hvis du møter dette på vinnere / tjmaxx, få det!

Det beste av 2016 Discoveries og her er det – som du kan forestille deg å prøve å begrense de beste varene var vanskelig! Disse varene er nye for meg, men er kanskje ikke nye lanseringer i 2016. Dessuten er det ikke nødvendigvis at disse varene er min absolutte “hellige gral” gjennom tidene – de er rett og slett de beste fra …
