My Best Beauty Discoveries in 2018 – Makeup Edition

My Best Beauty Discoveries in 2018 – Makeup Edition

Surprisingly, it wasn’t so difficult to pick up my favorite makeup discoveries this year, partially because I’ve gotten more comfortable with the idea of following a specific routine for months and weeks, which gives me plenty of time to give a product a lot of tests under all scenarios, partially also because these new discoveries are just so damn good that they kick all other new purchases out of the water.

Lip scrub is one of those things that we all know what it’s about, but rarely gets excited about, right? I know at least I am. I can be doing facial scrubs, either physical scrub or chemical acid scrub every week religiously, but lip scrub? Always an afterthought. And honestly, I blame the fact it’s so difficult to find a good lip scrub, even though it’s supposedly the easiest skincare item to DIY at home. OK, before I digress further, let me get straight to…
