With so many amazing “must have” products out there, we couldn’t stop at 14 — so let’s find out what the rest of my beauty blogger friends claim as their star product from 2017! I already created a small list of things I’d like to gift myself…but just as any beauty enthusiast would assume — that list is just going to keep growing! Grab your cuppa tea, get cozy on the couch, and scroll through to find out what else you may need to ask Santa for this year. In case you missed Vol. 1, I’ll link it at the bottom of this list!
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Repair 2:4:2
Buy it here
“Hydrates in all of the ways that skin can possibly go dry — ceramides, cholesterol and other lipids, occlusive agents, emollients. Saved my skin during pregnancy!”
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara
Buy it here
“It makes my lashes look like I’m wearing falsies without going thought the pain and glue of actually applying false lashes. Every single person IRL that I drag to the store to buy this now swears by it! “
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Sara Happ’s Lip Scrub/Lip Mask/Lip Slip trio
Buy it here
“This is the ultimate lip nourishing trio – from the super sweet exfoliation of the scrub, to the frosting-like lip mask to the nourishing hydration of the lip gloss, Sara Happ’s lip products are my go-to in keeping my pout looking perfect.”
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: The Hero Project Vit C 30
Buy it here
“This is a 30% Vitamin C formulation that fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation faster than any other Vitamin C I’ve tried – without burning my skin the way some Vit C formulations did (apart from some mild tingling). It never oxidises, and is cruelty-free and vegan. I’ve bought five bottles already, and counting.“
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: YSL Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain
Buy it here
“1st my blogging niche is French beauty, so that’s my top pick by a French brand for this year. It’s a beautiful liquid matte lipstick that’s very comfortable to wear even for people with dry lips, and it leaves a stain that lasts forever. It has a very unique applicator and comes in a ton of vibrant shades from nudes to vampy and reds.”
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: PERSONA IDENTITY EYESHADOW PALETTE
Buy it here
“PERSONA IDENTITY EYESHADOW PALETTE is the first product from this line and it’s a winner. The price is better than most palettes ($32) with 12 wonderful shades, both matte and metallic. It’s a neutral lovers dream if they want to step up the colors to be something more special. The combinations you can create are terrific and you have everything from light to very dark. It’s one of the smoothest palettes I’ve used this year.”
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Tarte Maneater Liquid Eyeliner
Buy it here
“I have been searching for a liquid liner that won’t smudge on my hooded, oily lids pretty much my whole life. I had given up on liquid liner (or ANY liner without a smoky eye to go with it). Then I received a sample of Tarte Maneater Liquid Eyeliner and I was SHOOK! It doesn’t smudge and it’s still fairly easy to remove at night. It’s cruelty free and vegan. Holy grail y’all!”
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette
Buy it here
“The colors in this palette are gorgeous. The mattes are super pigmented and easy to blend. The shimmers are very metallic and pigmented as well. This is a very well rounded warm palette with a ton of options. This is by far the best Naked Palette ever released.“
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: The Pixi Beauty x MaryAmNyc Strobe and Sculpt palette
Buy it here
“I’ve come across so many wonderful items this year that deserve recognition and at the top of the list is this palette and the Strobe & Highlight brush. Panic ensues when I think about running out of my favorite contour color. It is Neutral perfection and the whole palette can be used to create and healthy glowing look. The brush has been made so that the sculpting head is the best bronzing and sculpting brush I’ve ever used. It distributes powders evenly without blotchiness. I’ve purchased backups because of my anxiety over running out and I’ve made quite a dip in my favorite color already. No matter what I wear, these are s daily staple.“
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Shadow
Buy it here
“I’ve always steered clear of glitter because it was a mess to try to use and it would make a mess on my face throughout the day. But with these Stila ones, there is NO mess to apply and I find that a little bit of glitter glue underneath keeps these beauties off my and on my eyes. I am SO excited that I can now enjoy a glitter eye look without the mess and hassle of the traditional kind!”
Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Huda Beauty Desert Dusk palette
Buy it here
“I have tested a lot of palettes this year and hands down, this has got to be my favorite! The shades are incredibly pigmented, velvety smooth and absolutely beautiful on my East Indian skin tone. Worth every single penny!”

Best Beauty Pick for 2017: Foreo Luna
Buy it here
“My Foreo Luna is an integral part of my skin care routine. This little sonic wonder deeply yet gently cleanses my skin, massages and soothes it and leaves my complexion soft, smooth and glowing. My skin looks younger, firmer and it’s primed for a perfect makeup application, too.”

Best Beauty Pick for 2017: PUR Cosmetics PRO X Etienne Ortega Eyeshadow Palette
Buy it here
“This palette definitely can take you from day to night, quiet to smoky and it’s perfect for over everyone! I am totally smitten with this palette because of the wide variety of colors and finishes. Neutrals pops of color, liner shades, smoky shades–the PÜR PRO X Etienne Ortega Eyeshadow Palette is a winner. It’s also a value–18 eyeshadows for $42 ain’t bad!”
