Best in Beauty: 2017

2017 Best in Beauty || Southeast by Midwest #beauty #bbloggers #beautyguru #bestinbeauty

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!

Over the years I've grown my knowledge and love of beauty products to the point that I am currently in Cosmetology school.

    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’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.
