2017 was such a good year for discovering new products and today I thought I would share with you my top beauty finds from the past twelve months. 
Skincare will always be my favourite beauty category and I found some real gems last year. The DHC Deep Cleansing Oil* has been my favourite cleanser for months and it's still my go-to when I need to break down a full face of makeup. I also fell in love with the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser which is great in the mornings. I'm a sucker for face masks and one, in particular, I couldn't stop using was the Sukin Super Greens Detoxifying Clay Masque. It's packed with natural ingredients and it does a great job of purifying the skin without leaving it stripped. I have to give a quick mention to the Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum as it's one of the only products that instantly calms and moisturises my skin. It's also an absolute bargain at £2.69! 

 The Ordinary was one of the most popular beauty brands in 2017 and quite a few of their products have become staples in my routine including the Advanced Retinoid 2% and 30% AHA + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. My final skincare favourite is the Glossier Balm Dot Com in Birthday Cake. It smells incredible and leaves my lips feeling super soft and hydrated. 

 I'm very fussy when it comes to my base but one I instantly fell in love with was The Ordinary Serum Foundation. It gives me amazing coverage but still looks natural on the skin. Glossier was my go-to brand for makeup in 2017 and their Haloscope in Quarts, Boy Brow in Brown and Generation G in Cake are just some of my top picks. I also found a new mascara love in the L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara which is amazing if you want seriously voluminous lashes. My last two favourites are the Primark Primer Water and MAC Eyeshadow in Soba. I use both of these products every time I do my makeup and I don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon!  
So there you have my top beauty discoveries of 2017. Did any of these products make it into your yearly favourites?
