Foreign coffee! I never enjoyed coffee until 2023 and now I know it's bc I hadn't tried foreign coffee. Arabic, Colombian, Turkish, etc. Just wow. I'm officially a basic coffee girl with some spice lol🤣😭
@@TheCleanBeautyCode it's so underrated! I go to these Persian markets and Asian markets in my county for coffee and Starbucks is nothing to compared to them lol
Great list of faves! This year, I discovered Victoria Beckham’s eye liner. I know I am so late to the game with this. Smokey Quartz is my favorite shade. Danessa Myrick’s universal balm powder is my favorite primer. I love Saie cream bronzer (for bronzer & contour), Tower 28 mascara, Caliray setting spray, and skin tints from HourGlass and Danessa Myricks. I’m a bit obsessed with powder bronzer. My favorites are Hermes, Pat McGrath, Gucci, and Victoria Beckham. Lastly, there are too many blush shades to name. 2023 was the year of blush in all the formulas for me.
Sooo many blushes! There were so many blush launches last year. I also love the Danessa Myricks skin tint and universal balm powder. She makes such amazing formulas! I love your list of faves 💚
Hahaha I guessed Roen Beauty lipgloss! I'm going to have to try the Westman Atelier Foundation drops, you're convincing me. Some of my favorites this year were definitely the Roen beauty 11:11 , and 75 warm eyeshadow platte and the Grande Cosmetics GrandeBROW 2-In-1 Tinted Brow Gel + Brow Enhancing Serum, it's so good! I was missing a little bit of my eyebrow, like some weird little bald spot on one of my eyebrows, and let me tell you that my eyebrow hairs grew back with this product! Can't wait to see part two! :) Another favorite was soups, like all year round not just winter. Lentil soup, chickpea soup, black bean soup, miso soup, squash soup, ALL the soups!
Haha you know me so well! Can’t get enough of Roen. I also love soup! Lentil and miso are faves. Im so glad that the bald spot in your brows grew back. Brow serums are underrated for stuff like that. 💚
One request or reccomendation would be to show some more voice-over swatching/sampling shots whether close ups of product applied to the skin of your hands & arms or the face/eyes. Ty for all the information!
Hi. Happy New Year!🎉 I have quite a few of your favorites. Rose Inc brow gel ❤(will try LYS soon). Had Ami Cole brow pencil❤ (will repurchase). Got Westman one but color is too cool toned. Haven't tried Coverfx primer (are they rebranding?). Still like Exa Primer lotion. I don't like sticky/grippy primers like Milk (sensory thing). Still on lookout for illuminating liquid that is darker in shade. Tower 28 tinted sunscreen shade 60 & Exa foundation 180 are yes for me too❤. Still like Ami Cole skin tint too, so lightweight. Swatched Haus labs foundation but haven't bought as yet. Got Iris & Romeo concealer darkest shade 12❤ in Iris & Romeo concealer b/c 11 was more brightening than I'd like for standard looks. It's the finish & non creasing for me! So far best find for me in 2023 in concealers. Like LYS bronzer (shade Strength) but want a shade between that & the last one. So far Tower 28 bronzino in shade Simon ❤fits the bill. Want Saie blush in Spicy but was hoping for a mini during holidays because that's a lot of product!😅. I'm a lip product person (w/ the exception of matte formulas - lips are prone to dryness). Have Ami Cole in Smitten ❤❤ and Tower 28 lipgloss ❤ want shade Coconut. Using up lip product stash unless it's a color I don't have- still looking for a nice mauve or brownish pink shade & red-violet purple shade. Have Ilia mascara❤ Have Tower 28 (but I haven't used yet😅). I agree prefer single eyeshadows. Trying to find talc-free formulas. LYS setting spray ❤ *The need to expand shade range is unstated for many brands & momentum is waning 😡).
Totally agree that brands all need to expand their shade range (and undertones.) The exa primer is still one of my faves, it makes the skin look so good. I’m not 100% sure what’s going on with cover FX. I’m so sad they have changed their shade range to be smaller and got rid of their concealer that I love! I hope they bring it back. I also hope all brands come out with deeper shades in their illuminating drops/liquids. It’s ridiculous that they haven’t already! 💚
The new Milk Makeup pore eclipse powder and blurring matte primer are fantastic! I have oilier skin so I am always looking for things to control shine and these are great!
Hello, I'm a new subscriber! You mention some brands I'm not familiar with. I love skin tints. I hope those brands have a matte formula. Love the video!
Thank you for this video! I am so there with you with the jones road mascara and eye shadows and the vb eyeliner, truly my favorites ❤ I love tinted lip balms so I’m looking forward to trying your faves!
I have a couple Merit lipsticks which I really like but I just added the Vegas lipstick, that looks stunning. I love the Ami Cole skin tint also based on your recommendation. You never let me down! I am very intrigued with VB. I need to place an order at some point.
I’m so happy you love the Ami Cole skin tint!! It’s such a good one and makes the skin look so gorgeous. Also it makes me so happy that you love Vegas from Kosas as much as I do! It’s such a beautiful beigey nude. When you try VB you’ll have to let me know what you think! 💚
Now that the Primera lip mask (which I remember you loved) has been discontinued, do you have a clean overnight moisturizing lip mask / treatment option that helps your dry, chapped lips regain moisture? Would really love to hear your recommendation.
So sad about that lip mask no longer being sold in the US! I currently love the Fenty lip mask, the Cay Lip mask and I’m currently testing a few. I also love aquaphor. I know it’s not technically considered clean, however it works really well, especially in winter! I am still on the hunt for a lip mask as good as the primera one! Hoping I find one soon 💚
What was your favorite thing from 2023? Was it a food? Product? Movie? or Something else?
Foreign coffee! I never enjoyed coffee until 2023 and now I know it's bc I hadn't tried foreign coffee. Arabic, Colombian, Turkish, etc. Just wow. I'm officially a basic coffee girl with some spice lol🤣😭
Ohhh yes! I love coffee from all around the world! So good 💚
