I tried out alot of amazing products this year so I decided to put together a list of my favourites! These are not necessarily products that were launched or that I tried for the first time in 2016. They are the products that I used and loved most in 2016 🙂

Anyone who has been following my blog knows that I LOVE Colourpop eyeshadows. With their unique moussy formula, they are easy to apply, sparkly (well, many are), opaque, affordable, and have crazy lasting power!

To prime my face, I first I applied Sheer Transformation Creme by Ole Henriksen all over my face and neck and followed it with Hourglass Mineral Primer Veil on my face. I then dabbed a bit of all Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer on the my eyelids and upwards toward my under eyebrows.
