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!

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.

Every year I have made it a tradition to continue my series of my favorite makeup products under $5 to commemorate the anniversary of my first blog post in 2017!

In today's post I'm going to be sharing my favorite makeup products of 2019! I always look forward to curating this list every year, so I'm excited to finally share it! This list is made up of a mix of new products I tried in 2019 and many that I've been using for years that have been mentioned in my previous end-of-the-year beauty lists. If you're interested in checking out my favorites from 2017 click here and 2018 click here .  I love so many different makeup products in these categories, but to avoid this post from being too long or redundant I narrowed it down to only a few per category. If you're interested in hearing my thoughts on more products (or more detailed reviews of these), you can check out my other reviews from throughout the year which I'll link at the end of the post!  E Y E S Colo urpop Super Shock Shadows // $6 I've been using the Colourpop Super Shock Shadows for about 4 years and they have consistently remained m...
