New Must-Have Beauty Products 2021
Every year, I like to go through my vanity drawers, which is where I keep some “everyday” kind of products; they’re a mix of cheek colors, lip products, and complexion products that I really love and let myself reach for occasionally (either to wear after testing new products for the day or to wear in a set of photos when a new product doesn’t work), and do a soft reset. This means taking some favorites from the past year and putting them into those vanity drawers, which also means taking some past favorites out of those drawers!
Here are the products that I’m making room for and making more accessible to reuse in 2022…

A very colourful list Christine.
My favourites that I have discovered this year include: Your On the Horizon palette Light, Lorac’s Fairytale Forest (very new) and By Terry’s Bonjour Paris. A short and sweet list this year too.
Two new products that have become favourites are the Fenty facial cleanser (since Sephora no longer carries Boscia, which has been my fave cleanser for years) and Sephora’s Micro Smooth Baked Foundation Powder. I’ve also really fallen for Clarins 4D mascara (I used to skip mascara most of the time because I couldn’t find one that was worth the trouble) and Tarte Sinful eyeshadow, which is a plummy burgundy shade but one I can actually wear.
