This is one of my favorite posts to do- and yet I put it off because it takes so long. I basically come through my posts from last year and pick out my favorite products. I also do the one products I hate at the same time to save myself some time.
I think I had a pretty good year- but honestly I never know until I finish the post.
1. Plant Therapy Fresh Meadow Blend- I don't know if I will come across this brand again but this is such a fresh, unique, and pleasant blend. It really smells like a freshly brewed cup of Jasmine Green Tea.
2. Pre De Provence Rosemary Mint Bar Soap- I love trying new soaps. Of all the things to try it is my favorite. I tried a lot of soaps from this brand because I had a sampler pack. I found their soaps to mostly be OK- except the Rosemary Mint bar. It isn't just your standard Rosemary Mint scent- it is a sophisticated scent with the perfect amount of Rosemary and Mint. Best iteration of the scent I have come across.
3. Aveda Cherry Almond Leave in Conditioner- This makes my hair unbelievably soft when I straighten it. And it smells good! Bonus: it has heat protection and no silicones.
4. Lush Scan Me for Scares Shower Gel- Smells like my beloved Roasting Chestnuts shower gel from Lush . I love that scent and this is identical or so similar it's a perfect stand in.
Honorable Mention- Lush Grass. I super enjoyed this. It's a very unique and fresh scent.
5. Alaffia Black Soap- I loved using this on my face. I went through three bars of this. It's not authentic African Black Soap but it's nice.
6. Poppy and Pout Marshmallow Creme Lip Balm- I love these balms. I especially love that the packaging is plastic free and easily recycled. I also have the pomegranate peach scent- both yummy scents. Can't go wrong with them...I want to try them all!
7. Danessa Myricks Lightwork V- I'm so glad I was able to get my hands on this. I bought the newest iteration and this one is definitely the favorite of the two. I think it just has more fun colors. And the flaky blue shade is LIFE.
8. The Unbrush- Changed my life as far as detangling. I was slow to try it thinking it was hype but this one was worth it!
9. Fresh Soaps- I find the Fresh soaps to be very, very nice. The shape, the packaging, the scents. They aren't overpowering and are more subtle but so far every single one I have tried I have mega enjoyed. I wish they would bring back the Patchouli so I could try it. My faves are the Waterlily, Freesia, and Citron.
10. Apto Turmeric Mist- Love the packaging, the price, the ingredients...just everything about this. Makes the skin glow!
I'm kinda surprised, I thought we would have a lot more but I think that's it. Ten favorites. I tried a lot of different brands this year- a lot of candle brands and I definitely found a lot of stuff I really like. But I guess just not favorites! The standards for these year end favorites is high.
I'll probably be back to post the opposite of this list in a few days. For now. I really can't keep my eyes open. So I'll probably some tea- wash my makeup off and drift off to Dreamland.
