2020 Favourites: Skin, Beauty & Lifestyle

There’s not one favourite this year.

To me, this year was heavy on the sensorial experiences with smell and touch, smell specifically. As skincare is forever and heavily embedded in my heart, I hadn’t explored too many new products this year to popularize them as my favourites just yet. With that being said, here are the ones that stood out to me the most. To the ones that I held close to me on my quiet nights, the ones that brought me to tears in the most invigorating, beautiful way possible…

To the ones that held my hand and had my back.

2019 Skincare Favourites: Face, Hair and Body

Welcoming you into a deep part of my shelf, here are my 2019 skincare favourites. Just like last year, here’s to the ones that I craved for on my drives home, dreamt of on my late nights, healed me from within out and allowed me to experience not only a physical fulfillment, but a sensory, eye-catching, tasteful experience to indulge in. I experienced many, but these ones have lingered and comforted me in many different ways.

2019 Favourite Product of the Year

THE BODY WASH by NÉCESSAIRE

It’s no surprise how deep my love runs for these body washes. What made these the favourite of the year? My surgery. In September, I got my breast reduction surgery. It was an extremely emotional journey, mentally and physically. For the first time, I actually saw my own body. I felt it. I also inevitably had to wash it. Nécessaire’s Fragrance Free Body Wash was on my side. I’d be lying if I told you typing this isn’t prompting tears. Invigorating in every sense of the word, the washes are luxurious, effective and oh-so comforting. From the formulation to the lather, the wash is so clean and effective. (Also great for my tattoos!) Emotional attachment to a material item isn’t negative, and when it holds something very deep to your heart, you embrace it. These washes were part of one of the most precious moments in my life, and I’ll never be without them. So cheers to The Body Wash, I’ll be seeing you tonight. Read my Nécessaire brand review here.

Before going into the rest of my favourites, I’d like to dedicate a second-favourite of the year that I hold close to me…

KYLIE SKIN

Between her products and the body washes, this year was filled with favourites for me and I couldn't leave these in my review without putting them on a pedestal. From the Foaming Face Wash, Vanilla Milk Toner to Face Moisturizer, I’ve completely and utterly fallen in love with each product. When I had first tried them, I didn’t know what to expect. Months upon months of testing them daily, I’m enamoured and have completely fallen harder than I thought. Read my Kylie Skin review here.
