Best Makeup Discoveries of 2022 - Top 10 Favourites

I always love rounding up my Favourite products I've discovered every year - this is the  Personally, I include products that I've discovered within the year (not necessarily products that were released in the year, or I don't include every category as I just want to pick the best products I've tried overall!)

With that being said, everything I talked about on my Monthly Favourites, I still love; but, when I think of the best products of the year, I think of the ones that have been total standouts or game-changers in my routine! So, that is what I'm going to focus on for this year's Top 10 Favourites! 

Shop My Stash - Wedding Guest Makeup That Lasts All Night And Day!

I was soo happy this year to get back in to attending weddings! So, I thought I'd shared my go-to Shop My Stash look for a wedding I attended - these products are all tried and true for a long wearing makeup look (and I got a ton of comments, so I think it turned out well!)

One of my goals this years was to do more Shop My Stash makeup posts, but unfortunately, I only got a few posts up this year. So hopefully, now or next year I can get back in to it again -  I love playing with makeup! 

Monthly Beauty and Book Haul ~ September 2022

I'm switching up my Monthly Haul posts a little bit this year, because I'm actually *trying* to stick to a bit of a budget! I've been going a little crazy on the beauty and books front, so I just want to be a little more thoughtful in my purchases. So. I'm trying to keep my beauty and book purchases to $200 a month - we'll see! 

I do always love my Monthly Haul posts - it's a good way to keep track of everything that I picked up each month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

I purchased everything in this post

Indigo Preorder ~ $18.56 CAN. I read the first in this series last year and it's fun - they are whimsical YA fantasy in a world I like and I enjoyed the characters in the first book. The Ballad of Never After is book 2, and how stunning is this hardcover?! 

Jaclyn Cosmetics - Strawberry Feels Palette & Petal Drip Lip Oil ~ 3 Looks and Thoughts

Okay, I like to keep things pretty controversy free here, but when I saw Jaclyn Hill's Summer release (the Strawberry Feels collection), I was really excited. I've been hoping that her brand would do well - I know she is a little controversial, but she was pretty impactful in shaping the online beauty community, and I do hope that her brand does well, because I think she knows makeup!

I haven't actually tried anything from the brand since their Winter 2019 highlighter releases (which were amazing) - I'm always keeping my eye on things; but, nothing else has really sparked my attention until this release! I love the pink packaging, the strawberry branding and the shade selection in the palette is really pretty! The lippies from the line didn't quite catch my eye, but they do have a beautiful pink lip oil that I thought would pair perfectly with the palette, so I scooped it up too!

I used to always have pick 5 products each month for my Monthly Favourites, but that is one thing I'm changing this year - whatever I'm loving, I will share whether it's 2 or 10 products!
