2016 Best in Beauty

Happy last day of 2016! Looking back at the year in beauty, I narrowed down my top makeup, skincare, fragrance, nail, and treatment favorites. The task at hand was a bit overwhelming as I wanted to mention so many more things. 2016 has been a great year for my blog, and I’ve been fortunate enough to try a lot of products for review consideration.  I looked through all of my monthly favorites videos and what was actually in my handbag and travel bag for the entire year to find the true most worn, most used, and most loved standouts.

Watch the video below and scroll ahead for links on all the products and services mentioned.
