Best of Beauty 2018 – My skincare and makeup favorites

When I wrote my post on „How to accept failure“, I got a ton of lovely comments telling me to focus on all the things I had achieved in 2018 instead of dwelling on what hadn´t worked as planned.

Great advice indeed, so let´s put things into perspective and see what amazing new beauty items I discovered in 2018 because of blogging. I mean, would I really slather so much stuff on my face, constantly switching to the newest skincare item if it weren’t for the sake of writing reviews on here? I don’t think I would.

As it is the nature of this blog, you will find much more skincare items on the list than you will find makeup, for several reasons, and I will talk you through all of them in the video below, which (as always) I recommend you watch on You Tube and in HD.

 

 

But why are there always more skincare products in my favorites? Is makeup dead to me? Of course not!

Firstly, I do test a ton of skincare, so the chance of me discovering a stand out product are higher. And as someone that has been on a low buy for over two years now, I purchase more skincare than makeup simply because I finish more skincare than makeup.

I can´t remember the last time I actually used up a lipstick (not counting the one my son smeared all over the bathroom tiles the other day *sigh*)

And secondly, I am pretty set in my makeup preferences, so it takes a lot to actually become a standout product for me in this category. See, I have been repurchasing the same liquid liner for years now (this one), I have more blushes than I will probably ever finish, let alone more lipsticks than any sane person – I just don´t buy much more.

With a few obvious exceptions that is, like mascara, concealer and foundation.  I wear those three every day, so naturally I finish a few of them and get to test new ones. Still, I am so fickle with all of them it is near to impossible to find many favorites in this category.
