In 2021, I didn't wear makeup as often or bought as much as I have in the past - so many of my favorites in the past year were products that are staples in my collection that I have been using for years and have featured in many past posts. I have in-depth reviews of each of these products linked throughout this post if you are looking to learn more about any of them, as well!   For my favorite beauty products of 2021, I have chosen my top 10 broken down into 3 categories; eyes, lips and face.  E Y E S Colourpop Pressed Powder Eyeshadow  As always, my absolute favorite eyeshadow formula every year continues to be Colourpop's Pressed Powder Eyeshadows .

Every year I have made it a tradition to celebrate the anniversary of my very first blog post in 2017 to continue my series of the best affordable makeup on the market. For the past four years I have stuck to sharing my favorite products under $5 , but this year I decided to switch it up and share my favorites under $10! All five of these products are not just "good for the price" but are genuinely great products that outshine many high-end alternatives. I hope you enjoy reading this list of products!  NYX Mystic Petals Palette // $10 This NYX eyeshadow palette is a gorgeous selection of warm toned rosy shades and cool toned violet shades.

The mattes have the perfect amount of pigmentation so that you don't apply too much at once and can easily build up the color. The metallic sh...

This list is comprised of some old favorites that have been featured in many of my end of the year wrap-ups, as well as new products that I tried for the first time in 2020.

In honor of National Lipstick Day, I'm going to be sharing a list of all of my favorite lipsticks! Out of everything in my makeup collection, lipsticks have always been my favorite thing to collect through the years! Ever since I started my blog in 2017, each year I post an updated list of my favorites, but I usually focused more on my favorite lipstick lines and formulas - to switch it up this year I'm going to dive into the specific shades that I love the most. Some of the products are limited edition and may no longer be sold, but I will be sharing the closest dupe the brand still has available.
