What Was Your Favorite Beauty Purchase in 2021?

Let's say your top 3 beauty purchases in 2021.  I just went thru all my Sephora orders (and Ulta but none of those were favorites) and have 12 listed Smiley Surprised  I don't know if I can narrow it down any further!  Darn, I'm going to have to add a Honorable Mention.  I can't list these in any order.  Why did I think this was a good idea? lol

 

Huda Rose Quartz Blush/Highlighter

Replica By the Fireplace perfume

Lancome Tient Idole Concealer

Honorable Mention: Dior Addict Steller Lipgloss in 465 Shock

 

The others  on my list.  ANY of these could have been in the top 4.  It was impossible to choose:

Huda Musk perfume: this really ties with By the Fireplace but doesn't last as long on me.

Huda Rose Quartz e/s palette

Tatcha Kissu

ABH Vol 4 e/s palette

Fenty Pro Filter foundation

Fenty Ease Drops Skin Tint

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter Airbrush powder

Sol de Janerio Bum Bum Cream

Dior Backstage Face and Body

@monicakm   I want to try the Dior  Backstage Face & Body but I am hoping to catch it on sale.  I don't know if this is Beauty but I think so because it sure makes us feel beautiful.  I purchased by Trish McEvoy:

 

Sexy 9 parfum 

Trish parfum

 

Both very different but so invitingl.  They make me feel beautiful.

Re: What Was Your Favorite Beauty Purchase in 2021?

This is a hard one because I purchased a lot of stuff last year.  I'm going to go with the new things that I use reguarly.

 

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Powder - don't use this everyday because it's so pricey for the amount of product but it makes my skin look so good and is great under the eyes.  I alternate with No. 7 Lift & Luminate Powder which is also excellent.

 

Stila Extreme Lash Mascara - this was a surprise.  Got it in a BoxyCharm and wasn't expecting anything.  I have a lot of mascaras and this is the best of all of them.

 

Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation - can't wear this on it's own as it's a bit too dewy, but mixed with EL DW, it's perfection.

 

Honorable Mention:  Nars 9 Pan Eye Shadow Palette - fantastic formulas and gorgegous neutrals with pops of blue and green.  Unfortunately it's limited edition.

@Katcat1 I've been wanted to try that Sexy 9 parfum but bought a few other perfumes in the last couple of months and really don't need any more.  Would you say this scent is better in winter/summer or is it something you can wear year round?

Re: What Was Your Favorite Beauty Purchase in 2021?

Mine are two different sizes of exfoliation tools...one for my face and the other for my body. They've made a big difference in how my skin looks b/c my skincare products are working better by absorbing them much easier.

 

Revlon Microdermabrasion Wand (dupe for the Bee Stunning DiamondBuff FACE)

 

Microdermabrasion Wand - Revlon

 

 

 

Bee Stunning DiamondBuff BODY

 

Diamondbuff Body - For Beautiful Glowing Skin - Bee Stunning

@SilleeMee I agree, that Revlon tool is great, thank you for recommending it before.  I love it.  I definitely will check out that body tool, my legs especially could use some better exfoliation!

@lkat 

Glad you love the Revlon tool! 

The Bee Stunning tool is an investment, I realize that. But it's a one-and-done purchase and you will own it for the rest of your life. First time I used it on my legs it was shocking! icon_e_surprised.gifSo much 'stuff' came off I couldn't even believe it. But after a few sessions, my legs are so smooth and look great...ready for spring/summer! It also made the skin on my upper arms a lot smoother, too. Hardly any crepiness. I love this tool.

Smashbox Cali Contour Blush/Highlight/Bronzer Palette (I love this one more than the Ablaze Palette & I never thought that would happen.)

Fenty Soft Matte Powder Foundation

TF Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eye Shadow Palette tied with ABH Norvina Eye Shadow Palette.

Re: What Was Your Favorite Beauty Purchase in 2021?

I'm thinking really hard here.  I have 2.  One in the skincare category and one make-up.  

 

The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm

Essence Taupe It Up eyeshadow

 

I have a lot of things I bought and love but those have to be my standouts.  Nothing expensive but staple items.  I use the cleanser every single night and I get way more use out of the eyeshadow palette than I thought I would.  And I typically only use a couple of shades at once.
