Now, let's get into it. From freshly dropped products to cult favorites that I finally got around to trying, these are the beauty must-haves that got me through the year and will continue to be a staple in my routine for years to come. Get ready to discover some new obsessions and maybe even throw caution to the wind and splurge a little - you deserve it.

Let's start with fragrance. I have to say, 2024 was a great year for fragrances. I discovered so many amazing scents, but there were a few that really stood out to me. One of my absolute favorites is the Elijah Nomad Eau De Parfum. It's a versatile yet complex fragrance with notes of Egyptian jasmine, saffron, and almond. It's like the little black dress or navy suit of your fragrance wardrobe - perfect for any occasion.

Next up is the Glossier You Eau de Parfum. This has become my go-to fragrance and I always get compliments whenever I wear it. It's no surprise that this is SpaceNK's number one best-selling fragrance. With base notes of pink pepper, iris, and ambrette seeds, it's a genderless scent that smells a little different on everyone, allowing your individuality to shine through.

If you're looking for a sweet and intense scent, then you have to try the NEST New York Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil. It's a blend of the brand's signature baobab essence and potent vanilla that will leave you smelling absolutely irresistible.

And for all my hair oil lovers out there, you have to get your hands on the Moroccanoil Hair & Body Fragrance Mist. It has the same amazing scent as their hair oil, but in a lightweight and addictive mist that you can use on both your hair and body. Trust me, you won't be able to get enough of it.

Now, let's talk skincare. I've tried so many amazing products this year, but there are a few that really stood out to me. First up is the Paula's Choice Advanced Sun Protection Daily Moisturiser SPF 50. I love that it offers all-year-round sun protection with its lightweight formula and innovative blend of five UV filters. And the best part? No white cast!

Another favorite of mine is the Enzyme Balm Cleanser from Trinny London. It's gentle yet effective, removing makeup and grime while also nourishing and feeding the microbiome. And let me tell you, it's a game-changer.

For those in need of some serious hydration, the Zelens Emulsion D Fortifying Moisturiser is a must. It's lightweight, rich, and non-greasy, leaving your skin glowing and quenched.

And finally, my go-to spot treatment for breakouts - the La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.I. Breakout Corrector. This stuff works wonders with its blend of Niacinamide, LHA solution, and Thermal Spring Water to purify pores and soothe the skin.

Now, onto makeup. I have to admit, I'm a bit of a makeup junkie and I've tried my fair share of products this year. But there are a few that I just can't get enough of. Let's start with the SEPHORA COLLECTION Size Up Mascara. It delivers instant volume, length, and curl - perfect for everyday wear.

I also have to mention the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation. Not only do I love this foundation, but my friends and colleagues do too. It has a weightless medium coverage and is formulated with fermented arnica to reduce redness and protect from environmental stress. Plus, the finish is flawless.

For a quick and easy pop of color, I've been loving the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Longwear Glassy Lip + Cheek Stick. It's serum-based, highly pigmented, and hydrating - making it a must-have for any makeup lover.

And last but not least, the TARTE Tartelette™ In Bloom Clay Palette has been a staple in my collection for years. The shades are so wearable and the pigmentation is incredible - especially the shimmers. It's a must-have for anyone who loves eyeshadow.

Lastly, let's talk haircare. I've discovered some amazing products this year, but there are a few that have really stood out to me. First up is the ghd Duet Blowdry Hair Dryer Brush. It's a game-changer for at-home blowouts and leaves my hair looking bouncy and sleek without any heat damage.

For a low-maintenance treatment, I always turn to the Dr Paw Paw 7 In 1 It Does It All Hair Treatment. It offers heat protection, reduces split ends, detangles, reduces frizz, smooths, adds shine, and acts as a blow-dry styling aid - all in one leave-in product.

And finally, for those days when I need my blowout to last all day, I rely on the Color Wow Cult Favorite Firm + Flexible Hairspray. It offers a strong yet flexible hold and is perfect for all hair types.

Well, those are my top beauty picks from 2024. I hope you discovered some new favorites and maybe even added a few to your shopping cart.
