I know I am VERY late in getting my Best of Beauty 2017 post together…but better late than never, right? I was very picky with the products that I wanted to choose as my best in beauty. These are the makeup products that I’ve been reaching for ever since discovering them and just can’t seem to put down, even though new products are constantly being release. Curious to see why they stood out to me? 🙂

Best of Beauty in Retrospect
Before we dive into my picks for this year, lets take a look back at my Best of Beauty for 2016 — which you can read HERE, if you’d like. I thought it would be fun to go back to this post and see if I’m still reaching for these products or if I’ve found better ones that have replaced them. Hear all my thoughts in the video below….
My Best of Beauty 2017
I hope you liked that flashback to my Best of Beauty for 2016 — I had a lot of fun revisiting all the products I mentioned! So now let’s get into the products I picked for 2017. It was a pretty short list — only the best of the best made it into the video! Hope you enjoy watching! <3
I’d love to hear what YOUR favorite products were from 2017! Did we have any similar favorites? Or is there some hidden gem I should try out in the new year? Let me know in the comments below!

my favorite of 2017 was the Maybelline Baby Lips color. Not sure if it was launched internationally or not, but it just makes my lips look so luscious, I loved it. Used up two tubes
Katie Marie says
I haven’t tried the baby lips color…I’ll have to look and see if I can get them here!
Anastasia says
I like how you also attached your YouTube video to your blog post. That’s a great way to kill two bird with one stone. I loved them both!
Katie Marie says
Thank you, girl!! I plan to start doing that more this year 🙂
Yvette Price says
I love the Stila glitter shadows, great list!
Katie Marie says
They are SO good!
Kristi V BeginNails says
Woo woot, when i own something a beauty guru has! The ABH MR pallette! <3
Katie Marie says
LOL! The ABH MR is a good one!
CosmetopiaDigest.com says
I love, LOVE the Lancome Matte Shaker lippies (my fave is Beige Vintage). Apart from that and ABH, I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t tried anything else from your list of favourites!
Katie Marie says
I NEVER hear anyone mention the matte shakers, but yeah, I love them!
Polished Hippy says
Nice to hear about the Butter London glazes – those looked intriguing but I didn’t know if they were good or not.
Katie Marie says
They are SO fun to use, and really give the most beautiful and intense shine to the eyes!
Nina says
My favorite beauty product in 2017 was my Better Than Sex mascara!!! I tend to go all natural but need something for my eyes!
Katie Marie says
A good mascara is important!
Kathryne says
Better late than never. I enjoyed your back to back videos. I rounded up my faves, Kat Von D foundation and Au Naturale lipsticks were some of them.
Katie Marie says
LOL, right?! I am glad I got it up! I can’t believe I have NEVER tried KVD’s foundation. And I love full coverage! Maybe I’ll finally try it this year!
Ehmkay Nails says
Such great picks for 2017
Katie Marie says
Thanks!
The Jedi Wife says
I just tried the bare Minerals bare Pro foundation and absolutely hated it! It just goes to show what works well for one person doesn’t mean it will for another! I haven’t really thought about a best of beauty from 2017 for some reason, and I’m drawing a blank now that I’m on the spot trying to think of one. Haha!
Katie Marie says
Aww, I’m so sorry! A lot of people seemed to hate it this past year….but, idk, it just works for me. I enjoy full coverage, even for the every day makeup look. And my beauty sponge always gives me the results I want 🙂
MarciaF says
I wish I had your enthusiastic beauty videos. I so enjoy seeing what you like. I always think of what my favorites are but I’ve never done a post on them which is a shame.
Katie Marie says
Aww, thank you so much Marcia! I love seeing what other makeup enthusiasts really, really love to use!
25 Sweetpeas says
I always like your video! Such pretty items! Loving the palate in this one!
Katie Marie says
Aww, thank you girl! Love your channel as well <3
PolishandPaws says
I hated the bare minerals pro foundation. It’s good to see you mentioned the colour pop yes please palette, I’ve really had my eye on it!
Katie Marie says
The colourpop yes please palette is SO good!!!!
Polarbelle says
You started out with one of my fave products of the year – the Stila!!! oh my gosh, I absolutely love them!
Katie Marie says
Oh my goodness, yes, those Stila’s rocked my world this year!
Jess Scull says
Ooh can’ wait to watch! Love these types of videos
Katie Marie says
Yay, thanks Jess!
Courtney B says
I don’t know if I could single out a favorite from 2017. There were a lot of great products last year.
Katie Marie says
It can be challenging, lol!
Natoya says
Awesome picks for 2017! My favourite was my Benifit -Kabrow! My brows have never looked better
Katie Marie says
Thank you! I haven’t tried the Kabrow, I don’t think. Thanks for the recommendation!
Leslie says
Yasss! Bare Minerals and Smashbox brands are so awesome. Great product choices.
Katie Marie says
Smashbox is SUCH a good brand that not enough people talk about! I know it’s probably because I get to try out a lot from them and have been able to tell that they release WAY more hits than misses. But I really love the brand!
Krystal E says
I really didn’t buy any makeup last year — just didn’t have the money or desire. So I really love these kinds of posts!
Katie Marie says
Glad you enjoyed watching!
Emily Draher says
So many great products here. I’ve been super out of the beauty loop lately so I’ll have to check these out!! 🙂
Katie Marie says
Thanks for checking out my picks!
Stacie @ wacie.com says
Great roundup! I like seeing the throwback video, too, it’s fun to see what products lived past their hype and which didn’t, lol.
Katie Marie says
Thank you girl! I know, I really loved going back and checking out that old post!
