My favorite beauty products of 2018

I am no makeup connoisseur or beauty blogger, but I do appreciate quality products, especially now that I know what that entails. I was definitely that kid in high school who didn’t wear makeup or know how to apply it. Without an older sister to guide me or a generation of beauty bloggers to teach me, I was completely lost when it came to the application of beauty and wellness products. But, lately I have been obsessed with beauty tutorials on Youtube and experimenting with new products that are vegan and cruelty free. I have always had sensitive skin and the unfortunate blushing curse called rosacea. with that, I was always insecure with my splotchy skin. After careful experimentation, lost causes, and a deflated wallet, I have finally found the products that help make me feel beautiful inside and out. Here are the beauty, haircare and wellness products I have been using and raving about this year.
