It’s the beginning of a new year so that means it’s time for the Best in Beauty for 2017. The way that I chose the products for this year is that I went with products that I actually used and loved in 2017. I didn’t stick to products that were only released in 2017 and I didn’t force a product in a category (i.e. color correctors for Drugstore). Also, I chose one drugstore and one high end for each category except a few cases. For the list of the products that made my 2017 Best in Beauty keep scrolling but to hear why they made the list check out the video below!

I love the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, and and gone through many bottles!
Can you believe I just bought my first jar of Coty Air Spun? It’s a miracle product for textured skin!
I really like that you did both drugstore and high end. I don’t know if you’ve used Milani e/s primer but it’s my favorite drugstore one. It’s foundation that I’d probably have to leave out drugstore since I only have one and it’s pretty old.
I used it in 2016 and loved it, unfortunately I missed doing a best in beauty for 2016 so it didn’t get mentioned. I probably should have mentioned it as an option for drugstore primer but as I don’t have it anymore it completely slipped my mind!
I like a lot of items you picked!! I love Mac Fix + !!!
It’s a great product!
I’d like to try the UD NAKED color correcting fluid. I love the concealer and foundation, so I’m sure I’d like this too.
If you like the concealer then you’d probably like the color corrector. I like but don’t love the Urban Decay Concealer but I LOVE the color corrector.
