  I always get excited to share my yearly makeup favourites because makeup is just so much fun and makes me super happy! Even though I didn't wear makeup super often this year (because I still hardly leave my house) I still tried a lot of great products and experimented with  makeup a lot more this year!  b a s e  Versed Mood Lighting Glow Drops  $17.99 This was the year of the glowy bases for me and this product from Versed definitely started it for me! Gives the prettiest glow to the skin without the glitter!  Saie Glowy Super Gel  $25 Another great glowy primer! This one is a lighter shade than the Versed one so I'm able to wear it all year round but it is slightly more glittery so more of a highlighter finish! Super pretty on the skin! Tower28 SunnyDays Tinted Sunscreen  $30 I love a light to medium coverage foundation and this one from Tower28 is perfect! Gives a really pretty skin-like finish and blends really nicely!

  2021 felt like both the longest and shortest year ever but along the way I discovered some really great skincare products! There were lots of great launches (Make Beauty and the Ouai x Byredo collab) plus a lot of others that weren't as well received (aka the excess of celebrity skincare lines). After trying 100s of products (literally) I've put together a list of my top picks of 2021! c l e a n s e r s Versed Gentle Cycle Milky Cleanser  $14.99 This was one of my favourite launches of 2021! I actually love all of Versed's cleansers but this one is incredible! Super great for dry sensitive skin or for the winter time. I loved using this as a morning cleanse. Versed Wash It Out Gel Cleanser  $9.99 This was my go-to cleanser in the summer time cause it left my skin feeling clean and refreshed without stripping it. It has a slight minty scent that I didn't think I would like but ended up loving! It's only $10 as well so a great affordable option! Ps you can get 1...

I didn't realize just how many products I go through in a year until I started keeping track of them to make this post. In 2020 I used up around 152 products which seems kind of crazy! I've been trying to be more conscious of waste so I try to not have too many of the same type of products open at the same time which helps to use them up a lot faster! I also keep track of the dates that products come into my collection and try to use older products first so they don't expire before I can use them.  For this post I won't have full reviews of each product cause that would make this way too long. Instead I focused on 3 main things: giving each product a rating out of 5, would I repurchase the product, and what did I like/not like about it.
