Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, it is one of my most favorite videos of the year to watch. I'm going to be doing my 2019 makeup favorites. So this video has so much makeup. Get a snack if you're planning on sticking around. And basically this video really stressed me out. Last night I picked out all of the products that I've been loving this year and it completely filled this whole table and I was like, I cannot talk about 50 products.  So basically what I'm trying to say is this video really stressed me out. This year was the most makeup I've ever tried in my entire life. I've bought the most amount of makeup that I've ever bought before. There are so many things that I loved. There are definitely products that I forgot about but I don't even want to think about that. We're just gonna go with what I have now. And just so you know, there are no palettes in this video because I'm going to be doing a full dedicated favorite palettes of 2019 video within the next few days because palettes are my babies. So they get their own video. So if you are interested in seeing my favorite makeup products for 2019, then just keep watching. Something to note, I'm thinking about doing like a beauty favorites where I talk about skincare, makeup brushes, hair tools, things that aren't actual makeup products. Let me know if you would be interested in that. I just didn't want to add any more products to talk about in this video because they would be like an hour long. So I'm gonna section this off into face, eyes, lips. I will put the timestamps below if you're interested in a certain category but let's get started with the face products. So first off is primer. There wasn't a primer that really stood out to me this year. I was pretty much using the same primers that I had used previously. I just like really moisturizing primers but I really got into this. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter. Now last year I did have number one fair but this year I purchased number three light medium. So I'm mainly talking about this. I decided to purchase one that was closer to my skin tone so that I can put this all over my face. I can put it anywhere where my foundation is. I can mix it with my foundation. This is one of the most universal products ever. Like you can do whatever you want with it. This just adds a really pretty natural glow to the skin. So I'll put this all over under my foundation for a glow or I will use the lighter shade on top of my foundation right on the high points of my face and it's so natural. So if you are into very natural glowy skin, this is the perfect product for you. If you're looking just to highlight, definitely go with a lighter color than your skin tone but if you're looking for a glow, go with a color that is closer to your skin tone. So many foundations came out this year when I had originally laid out my favorite foundations. There were 10. I managed to narrow it down to four. The first one is the La Mer, the Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation. This is in the shade Natural 12. This is my second favorite foundation ever. My first favorite is the Dior Air Flash. This is like the Dior Air Flash but in a liquid form. It gives a very similar finish to the skin that the Dior does. It just makes my skin look really soft and flawless. It's very natural. It doesn't look too makeupy but it does add coverage and really perfect the skin. There's just something so special about the way that this finishes on my skin and it wears on my skin that looks like skin but perfect skin. So it's not a super light coverage foundation. It's definitely more medium coverage but it just makes my skin look so flawless. This does have a hefty price tag but I would definitely recommend like going to your local makeup counter that has La Mer and get a sample of this and you'll see what I'm talking about. Truly one of the best foundations ever. The next one is a more light coverage foundation. If you watched my videos throughout the past year, you know I've been really into light coverage foundations and tinted moisturizers just for my job. I'm not always wearing full coverage products. So I've been loving the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfecter. This doesn't add much coverage if any at all but there's something about it that just perfects the skin and just makes it look better, makes me look prettier. It just makes my skin look better and more healthy. If you're looking for like something to throw on before work or if you have a long day, something that's just going to make you look better, definitely check this out. Mine is in the shade 3N1 Sand. I use this a ton every day for work. Like I said, there's not really much coverage to it. It just evens the complexion and it's a really amazing product. I've been using this a ton. It's amazing. I have a drugstore foundation here. This is the Catrice Liquid Coverage Foundation. Now this is a really great winter foundation. I do find it to be a little bit thick for in the summer but I actually consider this to be a good luck foundation because I wore this to an interview and I got hired. This really perfects the skin. It is more of a full coverage foundation. It's a very watery and liquidy consistency. Mine is in Sand Beige though. I do wish I would have gotten a darker shade but this really perfects the skin. It is mattifying. You're not going to get much of a glow with it but this is what I wear when I want a lot of coverage and a lot of perfection on the face. So this actually translates very well on camera and it's quite affordable. Not an everyday foundation for me. However, when you want your skin to look perfect, this is it. So I actually mixed this on my face with another foundation that I've been loving this year and that is the ABH Luminous Foundation. A lot of people were eh about this but my skin really agrees with this foundation. I do have more of a dry skin type and this just works so fabulous for me. I love the way it wears. I love the covers that it gives. It gives a medium coverage, which medium coverage is my favorite. I have mine in 240N. Now this is way too dark for me right now but this summer I got very, very tan and this was the perfect color for me. At this point it's way too dark so I mixed it with the Catrice Foundation and these two work amazing together. Just by the way, my skin looks really fabulous. This added some dew back to my face that this did not have. I just feel like if you have really dry skin, this is a great foundation. I love the way it looks. I feel like it looks like skin a lot of times with foundations, sometimes I feel like they can make me look powdery or like I'm wearing makeup. Honestly with this, I don't feel like it. I love this foundation. It's definitely one of my favorite foundations that came out. I mean, there's so many more foundations that I could talk about. I love the Pat McGrath Foundation that came out. I love Aloreal Foundation. There was the Milk Foundation Stick was great. So many honorable mentions. Like I just want to do a whole video of honorable mentions of products just didn't quite make it this year. I also found a very deep love for powder foundations and the Powder Foundation of the Year is the Makeup Forever Matte Velvet Skin. This is an R330.  It gives you a great amount of coverage. It perfects the skin. It still feels really light all day. To apply it, I've just been using this sponge and I think it works great. I've just had a lot of experience at Seaworth Powder Foundations and this one wears the best. It looks the best on the skin and it actually adds coverage to the skin. So if you are looking for a really lightweight product that adds coverage, I would definitely go for this. This is amazing. Let's talk concealer. There were a lot of amazing concealers that came up this year. I chose one drugstore and one high end. So this is my all-time favorite concealer of the year. This is the Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Concealer. I have mine in the shade 4. This is the most lightweight, emollient concealer. You put it underneath your eyes and it just spreads out with no effort at all. It looks really natural under the eyes. It still does cover and it wears very well. This is the perfect concealer. It's not too thick and I truly cannot get over how emollient this is without it having problems with wear time. I also love the Milani Conceal Imperfect Longwear Concealer. This is a bit more thick than the Giorgio Armani has a bit more coverage. However, these two are very similar to me. I just feel like they both are quite emollient. The way that they spread onto the skin is very similar. This one is a little bit more heavy duty whereas this one I feel like is a bit more natural. But both of these are absolutely wonderful. I could not have grabbed for them enough this year. Definitely top two concealers of the year for me. So I actually did not pick out any setting powders because I didn't really set my makeup this year, believe it or not. So we're just going to move on to bronzers. I really got into cream bronzers this year. So there are two that I was loving. So the first one is the Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer Stick in the shade Baked. This is amazing. It blends out so easily. It's the most perfect color for my skin tone. I am just so in love with this cream bronzer. And what I love about cream bronzer as opposed to powder bronzer is cream bronzer really looks like skin. So if you're going for a truly natural look, cream bronzer is the best. It doesn't move your foundation.  Also loved the Huda Beauty Tantor. And this is in the shade Fair. I feel like for fair it is quite dark, but this is another amazing product. Extremely emollient to the skin. It blends out super nice.  I would say both of these blend quite easily. I would say Huda maybe just a touch better, but these are both are like equal playing fields for me. I think they're wonderful. The two powder bronzers that I've been loving this year. The first one is the Fenty Beauty Bronzer in Shady Bez. Now this is a very warm bronzer, so I definitely wear this when I want to add warmth to my face. But I absolutely love the way this spreads on my skin.  I just think it's a perfect bronzer shade for me when I really want some warmth, but not to look super orange. It's a really good color, a really good formula. I think these were quite popular this year and for a good reason. This is just a great bronzer formula. And then something more affordable, a bronzer that I've been really loving are the Maybelline City Bronzers. So I have it in two colors. The first one is 200, which is a little bit deeper. When I really want definition and some depth in my face, that's the bronzer I used on my face today. This is a really good color, not too warm and not too cool, just kind of great right there in the middle. And it adds that color to the outer parts of my face. It is a touch too deep for me when I'm at my fairest. However, it is a really great formula and it's so affordable. They also have the shade 100 and this is what I use to sculpt my face or when I really want a light amount of color on the outskirts of my face. Really great color. I love both of the colors. I feel like this is such a good formula. Maybelline really killed it with this formula. So if you're looking for something affordable, you're going to love this. All right, so let's move on to blush. The cream blush formula that I've just been so in love with all year are the Newt Styx Nudies All Over Face colors. Again, just like with the cream bronzers, there is nothing more skin-like than a cream blush and I love a good powder blush as well and you will see that. But there really is something special about the way that cream blush just blends into the cheek. It just looks so natural. I don't know. Anyways, but this Nudestix formula is really fabulous and they have wonderful colors to offer. I loved naughty and spice, which is a little bit more mauvey and then in the nude, I think is going to be your guys' favorite. That is this color right here. These are both very natural, fleshy colors on the cheek and they apply so easily. What I'll do is I'll just kind of take my finger and rub it over the top so that the warmth of my hands will kind of melt it down and then I'll pat it right on my cheek. Sometimes I'll use a sponge if I'm not feeling like getting my fingers dirty, but these do apply really lovely on the cheeks. They have their Oliver Dewey color, which I do like, but personally, I think it's a little bit too sticky. It doesn't dry down as the day goes on, so that is why I just prefer the regular Oliver face colors, but they have the most gorgeous colors. So if you are looking for a great cream blush, I would start here. These are a wonderful formula. As far as powder blushes go, I really was into the MAC blush in Melba. This is just an everyday really easy color. It's a matte formula, pretty nondescript, but it's just a really great color that I found myself reaching for all the time all year because this goes with every look. It's such a neutral color. It's a very classic product from MAC. Everybody's been talking about Melba for years and I just picked it up this year and it's just a wonderful everyday neutral, fleshy blush. So definitely recommend that if you're at the MAC store, pick up Melba. It's a good one. And this one probably was my favorite blush all year, the most versatile blush for me. And this is from Sigma. And this is the blush in Cor de Rosa. I love a good rose blush. That's the blush that I have on my cheeks right now. The formula of this blends into the cheeks very easily and it's just a great color. Again, more of a matte finish, but I love it. This one is more formulation-wise. I found myself reaching for the Kylie Cuts Medic Blushes a lot this year. I really like the colors that her range has to offer. I feel like they're very feminine, girly colors that I really loved. The formula isn't the best in the world but it definitely is a good, reliable formula. You know, with blush, I feel like as long as it blends and doesn't apply too much color at once, it's a decent formula. But I just love the colors in here. Like this is Batty on the Block. I love a good pink blush. If you're looking for something more neutral, Kitten Baby is a really good one. And because I love a good cotton candy pink blush, pink power was also one of my favorites this year. I would recommend picking these up when they're on sale. It's gotten to the point now where her makeup does go on sale for pretty good deals. So if you can catch these on a deal, I would recommend picking up a couple because her colors are so wonderful. If you like really feminine, light, pinky kind of blushes, you will really like her blushes. All right, let's move on to highlighters. I have three right here. So this first one is actually a surprise to me. This is the Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette. This is the number two glitter. So actually last year, the original palette of this was in my favorites. And then they came out with this this year. And now this is one of my favorites. This one I wasn't quite as in love with as the first one. And then I realized I was reaching for this so frequently that it has become one of my favorite highlighters this year. I particularly love the shade right here. I feel like it just really melts into the skin. It's not too obnoxious of a color and just looks really natural on the skin. I've been really into natural highlights this year. Be careful if you don't like too glittery of highlights. You may not be quite as in love with this palette as I am. But I just think this is a beautiful formula. You get such a pretty glow to the skin. And it does have little specks of glitter, which personally I like if you don't stay away from this. But I really have been loving this. It's stunning. This one is probably my all-time favorite highlighter. No, it's not. This is my second all-time favorite. Highlighter of this year. This is the Milk Makeup Flex Highlighter in Lit. And this is just one of the most amazing highlighter formulas that I've come across. It's super silky, smooth, super reflective. And I just think silk is the best way to describe this. This is the highlight that I'm wearing now. I have not come across a highlighter that blends better into the skin than this one. Again, like silk. It looks like you're getting a crazy glow from within. It's not a glow from within because it is so crazy reflective. I am so in love with this formula. If you look a little close, it can be a bit glittery. But honestly, it does. I don't think it's bad at all. And just the way that this spreads on the skin and sits on the skin is so incredible. Definitely recommend this highlighter. It is worth every penny. And then another highlighter that kind of gave me that glow from within look that I have desired all year is the MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle. Again, another oldie from MAC, but it is so good. I had went to MAC earlier in the year and had gotten some old favorites from back in the day when MAC was really popular. And this is just the most soft and gentle highlighter. It gives you the perfect glow from within. And I loved this all year. So now let's head into my face palettes. Now, like I said earlier, my eye palettes will be in another video, but I did want to talk about some face palettes that really stood out to me. So this first one is a blush palette. And this is the Jouer Bouquet Demour Blush Palette. So this came with six blushes and I was head over heels with this palette all year. It's one of the easiest palettes to go to. It just has every color that you will need. The formula of these are stunning. They blend super nice. And these are the kind of colors that I love. Except for this one, I'm not into super orangey warm blushes, but these pink ones. This was just one of my favorite palettes of the year. I could not get enough of this. Along with the Natasha Denona Bloom Blushing Glow, I will admit I have not used this recently. However, during the springtime and the summertime, I was all over this. This has a really beautiful cream blush formula that's not as intimidating as it looks. And then you have some other glowy products to pair with it. I felt like this gave such a glowy, flushed cheek that was super stunning and trending for this spring. And I could not get enough of this product. She also came out with a tan one, which I liked, but I didn't love as much as this one. I'm waiting for her to come out with more shades of this type of palette because incredible. Incredible quality, the most beautiful flush. This palette, I didn't think I would love as much as I did. And this is the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Face Palette when I had originally reviewed this. I liked it quite a lot, but I wasn't like, oh my god, this is the most amazing thing ever. But then I just found myself reaching for it so frequently. I'm not in love with the bronzer, but it gets the job done. I really love the glow products in here. I feel like they look super smooth on the skin and they don't emphasize texture like they should. Like I said, in the spring and summertime, I was very into glowy cheeks. And not necessarily from highlighter, but just like a glowy blush. And this I just paired over a lot of different blushes and it was just the most beautiful finish on the skin. I still reach for this a ton. I think it is an absolutely stunning product. So if you are looking into Charlotte Tilbury, I 100% recommend this. I love it so much. I think this has room for improvement, but just the way the products finish on the skin, I just kept grabbing for it. And the last product that I loved all year was the Benefit Cheeklaters Mini Bronze Squad. I also loved the full size, but I picked up the small one for travel because it had everything that I needed. But in particular, the highlighter and cookie. This was my all-time favorite highlighter this year. And this is mostly what I want to talk about. It is a very beaming highlighter. And the second that I tried it out, I knew that this formula was extremely special and they did end up making it an individual. So I would recommend buying the cookie highlighter individually if you can. But this is my favorite highlighter of the year. Super glowy, super pretty. It just looks stunning on the skin. I raved about this highlighter all year. So I had to put it in my favorites. So last two face products are my setting sprays. So the first one is the Pixi Glow Mist right here. This one I love because it's the first spray that I actually feel like does add a glow to my skin. What I don't like about it is the smell. I feel like it lingers in the room after I spray it. I've heard nobody else complain about the smell, but I don't like the smell. But the product is so good that I continue to use it. But if you're looking for a really nice, glowy setting spray, this is fantastic. It's not going to help the longevity of your makeup, but it does make your skin look glowy. So if you have dry skin, recommend that. Likewise, with the Catrice Prime & Fine Dewey Glow Fixing Spray, this isn't quite as dewy and glowy as the Pixi. However, this does add a nice natural dew to the skin that I think you guys will really like. So this one is more glowy, but this one is more subtle, but still adds a nice freshness to the face. So I've been loving these two setting sprays. So let's move on to the eyes. The eye section has a lot less products just because I'm doing my favorite eyeshadow palettes of 2019 in a separate video, because that's a whole thing. I collect eyeshadow palettes, so that deserves a whole dedicated video. So all of these are just other eye products. So we're going to start off with eyebrow. My favorite eyebrow pencil of the entire year were the Isam Brow Defining Pencils. Of course, I couldn't find the color that's mine, but they have an ebony color, a brunette color, and a blonde color. And these are just wonderful. I like these better than my ABH. They're so thin. They blend easily, but not too easily, so that you still have definition from the brow hairs that you draw on. And they're just the perfect consistency. They are so easy to apply. They apply just the right amount of pigmentation.  So check out the Isam Brow Pencils. My favorite eyebrow gel has been the Sigma Tint & Tame Brow Gel. This is just the clear one. I feel like it really does set my eyebrow hairs down. The big thing for me is that they face the direction that they should. I like up here going up straight, and then the brows hairs down here kind of going out to the side. And this just does a really great job. I really like the spoolie on here. I feel like it really catches the hairs. And I like that it's short, so I can really get precise directing my brow hairs. This is definitely the best clear brow gel that I've used this year. But I've also been liking the Colourpop Brow Boss Gel in the shade Light Brown. This is more everyday for me. Definitely make sure you get the tinted one so that doesn't leave a white cast on your eyebrows. But it doesn't make your eyebrow hair stay in place as well as the Sigma one does. But what I will say is that it does make your eyebrows a little bit more fluff. So if you're looking for volume in your eyebrows, then I would definitely go for this. Plus it's like $6. It's amazing. Eyeshadow Primer that I've used all year is the Mac Painterly Paint Pot. Another Mac classic from that trip I made earlier this year. I have used and abused this guy.  It just evens everything out over the eyelid and it's just very easy to use. I don't necessarily know that it makes my eyeshadow not crease or anything because my eyeshadow creases regardless. But just that foundation it lays down, I really like this for. I do have one quick eyeshadow product to share with you because these aren't necessarily palettes. But these Kaja bento trios so good. Right now I am wearing Glowing Guava and guys, you need to get these. So they have two different versions. One will include a matte transition, a matte defining color and then a really super special glittery formula. So it gives you the look that you need. I don't even have to think about it. This is Glowing Guava right now. It is stunning. The quality of these are unbelievable. Literally the mattes, they blend like a dream. Like effortless looks. If Kaja ever came out with eyeshadow palettes, I would definitely buy them because their formula is incredible. The mattes blend super easily and these shimmer formulas insane. Absolutely insane and glittery.  This is Orange Blossom. At the time that I bought these, I was like, I don't need these.  No, they're amazing. So I recommend all of them. But here's one that I think you guys will like. So I'm wearing Glowing Guava Chocolate Dahlia. It's what a lot of you are going to like. This is for like a neutral cool tone kind of mauve-y eye. Chocolate Dahlia Toasted Caramel. This is a all glitter one but it has all neutral glittery tones. So if you want a little pizzazz in your everyday makeup look, this one's fantastic. I don't know, just all of them. So amazing. This is Rosewater. So good. Can't say anything bad about these. These are so incredible. We need to get them. Moving on to eyeliner. My favorite liquid liner this year was the ABH liquid liner. I wouldn't say this is the easiest eyeliner to apply. I'm just not good at applying liquid liner to begin with and I just, it is not the brush tip. It's a felt tip which isn't quite as flexible. But I do like it because I do feel like I have better control with the amount of product on application. But just not my favorite but it's a really great formula. It doesn't bleed and it's a really pigmented matte black which is the main reason why I love this. So if you are looking for a really good matte black liquid liner that's going to last, that doesn't transfer. This is a really good one. This I didn't talk about too much this year because I just kind of used it on the side. Nobody really saw but this is definitely my favorite liquid liner of the year. The best one, it doesn't get cracky. Like when you put on another layer, it doesn't get gross like a lot of liquid liners. Really great formula. And then the ColourPop Cream Gel Eyeliners were most definitely my favorite pencil liners of the year. Particularly, I like the brown ones. I've been really into brown pencil liners because I feel like it's not as harsh to define the eyes with.  So the brown is just a really good way to add that definition to make you look a little bit like you tried harder and it's still very natural. So overboard is like a metallic brown. And this one is very, very subtle on the lower lash line because of that metallic finish. But then when I do want something a little bit deeper we have Mr. Bing, which is more of a matte. So they have a lot of fun different colors that I use all the time in my makeup looks when I want a crazy color in my waterline. But I've really been in love with brown for every day. And then mascara. Finally, I have two mascaras that have cared me through the year. I started using an eyelash serum and it really has helped my eyelashes grow. So I really got into mascaras this year and not wearing falsies as often. So the one that I've been loving of late is the Essence Lash Princess. This is the best $5 you will spend. What I love about this is how well it layers and builds. Your eyelashes don't get clumpy. They get longer and they get thicker. Like this is an all-in-one mascara for me. I think it's probably the best mascara that I've ever used. I've talked about this in like two favorites of this past year and I've talked about it enough because it's the best $5 mascara ever. And then also this is brand new. I haven't opened it yet. But another mascara, this was especially towards the beginning of the year was the Pat McGrath Labs Fetish Eyes Mascara. Very similar to this mascara. I love how it builds. I think this one adds a little bit more volume and it can get a little clumpier quicker but it's still an amazing mascara. I love building my eyelashes on this. It honestly has been a while since I've used it because I've just been using this. But this was definitely a favorite mascara of mine all year. Super good. Very different price points. But both of them are amazing mascaras. I'll need to open that Pat McGrath one soon. All right, final section, lips. I found myself using like the same two lip products this year. So just get ready. Lip liners were huge for me this year. I was so in love with lip liners. First of all, formulation wise, my favorite lip liners this year go to the Colorpop lip liners. They're super affordable. They have every color you need. I bought a whole bundle of the entire lip collection. They're just a really creamy formula. My two favorite ones were 951. This is when I wanted a little bit more definition. And then little one, which is more just to define the lips a little bit and so that my lip color wouldn't bleed a little bit more natural. But these lip liners used them nonstop. Color wise, my favorite color this year was the Alomar lip liner in Dulce. Dulce, Dulce. It's just the perfect contouring lip color. Very similar to contour from Pat McGrath, which I will talk about in a moment. But this is what you wear just to define the lips really with a nude lipstick. This and like a more neutral nude lipstick, incredible. This is also a really incredible formula, very creamy, very blendable. And then the last lip liner that I love is the Pat McGrath lip liner in Done Undone. This has a little bit more slip to it. It's not as creamy, but it has more slip. This one really sets down very nicely and I like Done Undone because it's like my lip color but a little bit more enhanced and I would pair this with a lip gloss. So that's kind of my go-to lip this year was Done Undone as a lip liner and then like a clear or pinky nudie gloss right on top, which is a lip that I'm rocking right now and I will tell you in a second what I use. But also another color that I loved from this line is Contour. It's currently in my purse, but that one's more brown based. So that one's a little bit more defining. On top of my Done Undone, right now I'm wearing Diva lip gloss from Kylie. Really like her formula. It's very smooth on the lips. It's a very juicy formula. Love the applicator and this is the perfect pinky nude. So this with Done Undone, such a pretty combo. While we're on glosses, I'll tell you the other glosses that I loved this year. I really fell in love with the Morphe formula. They're made in the USA, which I think is wonderful. And the formula is just very simple. They have really good colors and it's very affordable. So this was a gloss that I grabbed for often. I would throw it in my purse. It's only a few bucks. This shade in particular is Boho. It is such a pretty pinky nude. It looks fantastic over any nude. It has a great shine to it. A little bit more sticky, but still nice. This wasn't everybody's favorites last year, so I picked it up. So it then carried over to my favorites this year. This is the Byte Beauty lip gloss in Flat White. It's a little bit more of a neutrally creamy kind of color. This looks really great over any more neutral lip because it's just more of a creamy peach color. And I love a good peachy nude. This smells like coffee. It's a delicious formula. And then the last lip gloss formula that I was loving this year, besides the Fenty, but I'm not going to talk about that because I talked about that last year, is the Pat McGrath lip gloss. And in particular, the shade Dare to Bear. Again, I was really into peachy nudes, pinky nudes, and this is just the perfect gloss to go on top of that. The Pat McGrath in particular is extra shiny as well. I felt like every time I wore that Pat McGrath lip gloss, it would have that extra little oomph in my photos. So that's a big thing. Lipsticks. So this lipstick I have loved and used all year. This is the Marc Jacobs Lipstick in Sugar Sugar. First of all, the packaging. And this is like a very neutral nude. It's a little bit more of a frost finish, which I don't necessarily love, but I love the color so much. It doesn't lean really warm. It doesn't lean really cool. It's a neutral nude. This with Cork Lip Liner from MAC, which is a brown, with the Bite Beauty Flat on top. My favorite nude lip combo. So that's that one right there, really peachy. Another color that I loved all year was the Becca Lipstick in the shade Sugar. Again, a little bit more pink than the Marc Jacobs. Another favorite nude of mine. It's a cool tone pink nude lip. I think this looks great on so many different skin tones. And this formula from Becca is amazing. Becca has an amazing lipstick formula. Really, really creamy, really comfortable on the lips. Very pigmented. I liked that a lot. And then the last two are formulas and collections that I loved. I fell in love with the Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2 collection. I have a whole video swatching the entire collection, so I definitely would recommend checking that out. Of late, the ones that I've been using a lot. In love with Olivia has become one of my favorite everyday colors, just to brighten up my face, especially in the spring. This is gorgeous. And Angel Alessandra, a little bit more peachy, a little bit more nude on my lips. These two I really have been loving lately. I also really like Magic Star. The JK Magic Magic Star or whatever that one is. That one is more of a light nude. It's in my purse right now, but formula in general is incredible. And then the last formula that I want to share with you are the Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Lipsticks. That entire collection colors are phenomenal. The formula from the I Need a Nudes are quite emollient, so the lipsticks are very soft, so you need to be careful. One of my favorite formulas, and it has one of the best color stories for the collection, if you ask me. No matter what lip color I put on from that collection, it looks good with my makeup looks. So my favorite, I love Natasha. This is a nude nude. It goes with super dramatic looks. Has a little bit of peachiness to it, but it's literally the perfect nude nude. Claudia's a little bit more warm, a little bit more deep. Liren, if you're looking for something more peachy. That's a great one. And then Michelle is that perfect, like, rosy brown kind of nude that is still really light. So these are my four favorite from the line. However, I love every single one. I felt like every single one from that line looked good on me, and it's just so universal for so many people here. Guess what? We've finally finished. That was my favorite Makeup Products for 2019. I know it was a lot of products. Maybe I need to split this up into videos next year, but I wanted to be completely upfront with my favorite items. I love makeup so much. I feel like I can't leave any of them out, and I know I didn't even get all of my favorites. I probably forgot some. But yeah, let me know down below what your favorite products were for this year. Hopefully your list isn't as long as mine, because this is just ridiculous. Let me know if you would like to see a full, dedicated video to other beauty products that I've been loving. And thank you so much for watching. I hope you guys are having a great new year. I'm wishing you happiness and health into the new year, and I will see you guys in the next video. Bye, guys. Have a good one.


The National Working Committee of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, has declared in all anvoid the suspension of a former governor of Kaduna State, Amed Macarffy. Recall that the PDP Tundun Wada ward in Kaduna State had suspended Macarffy for alleged anti-party activities. In the suspension notice signed by the chairman, Tundun Wada ward said a Leeu, Saidua Leeu, I beg your pardon, and five others Macarffy was accused of being self-opininated and intolerant of dissenting views claiming that he was being engaged in anti-party activities. Now, reacting to the suspension in a new statement issued on Monday, May 15, 2023, a PDP spokesperson Debo Ologonba declared that the suspension is not anvoid with no effect. Joining us to discuss this is Osir Nenny. He's a PDP chyftyn. Osir, it's good to have you join us. Good evening. Good evening. Always a pleasure to be here. Yes. One would have thought that with the PDP in court trying to, in the words of your presidential candidate, get back his mandate. The drama must have subsided in every parts of the country, but unfortunately this is the case in Kaduna State. So I'll ask you, is the PDP in Kaduna on the brink? I think this is more an example of what happens when bad behaviour goes unpunished. We have seen political actors use this tactic. If you recall in the APC, they were worried of their national chairman by suspending him at the world level. They were worried of which is a condos, the PDP national chairman, by suspending him at the, or purporting to suspend him at the world level. Most recently, they tried to get rid of the PDP national chairman, are you, again with a world-level suspension backed by an expert in junction. You can see that Labour is also experiencing the same thing. When political actors disagree at the national level, because this tactic has been seen to work, you find these curious suspensions of national officers playing out. I think what frustrates me maybe more as the PDP member is, and every time I talk about our party's constitution, our constitution says only the National Executive Committee can discipline or suspend a member of the National Executive Committee. Macarffy qualifies to be a member of NEC on multiple levels. First of all, he's a former chairman that qualifies him. Second of all, he's a board of trustee member that also qualifies him. Third of all, he's a former governor that qualifies him. Fourth of all, he's a former senator. He's immune almost from any disciplinary action not taken by the NEC. And five gentlemen in his words cannot purport to suspending. I think what we will probably see play out is, again, you will see a court, you know, giving a court injunction, an expert emotion, restraining Macarffy from presenting himself as either a BOT member or a member of NEC, because, again, that tactic has been seen to be quite effective in Nigeria's political space. But the publicity circuit was absolutely correct. It's not recognized in our constitution. A ward cannot suspend a member of NEC, which Macarffy is. But Nigeria's political space is very curious. So it's interesting to see how it's played out. I just want to say, worthy of note in this conversation and similarities here, obviously, is saying the PDP is fond of leaving issues or matters arising instead of dealing with it. They let it slide and then, of course, it comes back to bite them. We've seen many people asking for the heads of Governor Wike, for the heads of the likes of the Governor of your state, even though the Governor's Forum is set to honour them, not just for what they've done in their state, but how they've been helpful in the party. But then there are those who are on the one side who are saying, these people have been involved in anti-party practices. Why are we applauding them instead of dealing with the problem that's at the root? So does the PDP have a problem with facing issues head on as opposed to sweeping it under the bed? So I'll speak to Mark Raffy's case first before I come to the national. Mark Raffy, like I said, was a former governor. In 2019, when he ran for the PDP's presidential ticket, actually worked on his campaign at the time. Our campaign to get the ticket was unsuccessful. But I can tell you that I interacted with him. And yes, he is very opinionated as I am, as are most members of the PDP, but he isn't a dictator. So when I read the reason for the suspension being that he's opinionated and he imposes his will and doesn't listen, that wasn't true. I was much younger in 2019 and we were the critical part of his campaign. And he did listen to us. And I have anecdotal testimonies of my personal experience and others with Mark Raffy. If you recall, he stepped into the gap when, as an interim caretaker chairman, when we were having problems within the PDP.  But if you speak to anti-party activity, usually it plays out in election results. PDP won Cardinal State and Presidential elections. PDP delivered all three senatorial candidates at the judge concluded that senatorial election in 2023. We have 10 out of, I think, 16 House of Rep members, APC have four. I think some other parties have shared two among themselves. So if you look at electoral results, Mark Raffy won his district. He was running the first constituency that delivered our presidential candidates article in Mark Raffy local government era, even in Cardinal. So it's curious when you see the world accusing him of anti-party and working against the party when he was front and center and led the charge in Cardinal State to the point that Cardinal delivered one of the best electoral results for PDP in the just concluded 2023 election. So, again, I think it's just maybe state-level, sabre-rattling, or a disagreement with Mark Raffy as a mother person. And again, it's unfortunate to see them use this tactic, you know, instead of sitting down and resolving it like adults, they violate our constitution and put to suspend members that they cannot support, they cannot suspend. Taking it up to the national, and you did ask a very valid question about maybe the PDP and architectors, its own way was, maybe if we had stepped in and imposed some sanctions on candidates or members of the party and chieftains who were acting in a way a manner that was indefensible, maybe these types of things will not have played out. I think the national has decided to take a more consulatory approach. As you know, some members were suspended and their suspensions were reversed. I think the party recognises in its wisdom the party wants to sort of like put out an olive branch. And it's hoping that this olive branch is also met with good faith from people who have been actively and publicly working against the interests of the party. I don't know if it will work. I'm skeptical personally, I think bad behaviour shouldn't be rewarded or accommodated. But we are party members and if the national leadership of the party wants to take a more consulatory approach to resolving these issues, we'll see how it plays out. I don't think it will work, but time will tell. Let's talk about those who say the PDP is now a shadow of itself. Many pundits have said that the PDP might not stand the test after this election cycle and all of the tribunal rulings. But let's look at the new man at the airmore affairs. He's acting obviously. But what does he bring to the table and does he have the capacity to hold the party together? That's a really good question. I think National Chairman Damagun is an ambassador. So he's a diplomat. And I think regardless of whatever skill set he brings to the table, his ability or his grasp of diplomacy, I think coming into the party at this particular point where there are war infractions all over the country. You mentioned Wike, you mentioned Shea Mac in there for instance. I've seen them on your channel, helped by being with the APC president elect, even though we do have a case in court. I think Damagun believes that diplomacy might resolve this crisis. He does have the ability and the chops to push, pull it through if anyone can. The chairman and IU was a little bit more confrontational, a little bit more revolutionary because of his ideological background. But I think that's what he brings. I think he brings diplomacy to the table. Again, you know, I'm happy to say. What will diplomacy do? Because where the PDP is right now, I don't think, I don't know. I'm not a party man, but from someone who's looking from the outside in, what can diplomacy do? You have erring members who have been given a pat on the back and then they're saying, well we'll look into it. And then of course you have several other cracks within the party. There are people who feel that some other people are protected lambs or oxen. So again, I don't know where the place of diplomacy comes in here and how much weight it carries. So a lot of people don't realise that we are still in election season. And so the judicial challenge is just one arm. We had our campaigns, we had the elections. The judicial challenge is one the last leg of the electoral process. And so it's not done and done. We cannot, this is not the time for a post-mortem. I think we still need to keep a united house. That helps our court challenge, I think. You can see what's happening in Labour, for instance, where a new acting chairman is trying to appeal to their court case. So I think, again, we don't just have a presidential candidate that we are challenging. We don't just have a presidential candidate. We have a governorship petition that we want that are being challenged, or that we are challenging, as with the Senate, as with reps, even down to the houses above Henry. So we are still fully in election mode. And I think when you ask what can be done, I think we need to hold the party together. At least until every single electoral challenge is extinguished, and then there can and there should be a reckoning. But right now, I don't think it's the time for that, I reckon. May 29 is just around the corner, and that's inauguration day. And many, of course, are waiting to see what happens on inauguration day, but that day, obviously, is sacrificing whether we like it or not. Do you see people leaving the PDPs? They're going to be a criss-crossing, as usual, being that the APC's presidential candidate, who is now the president-elect, is on hand to become president May 29? So, first of all, I think the May 29 date is just a date. Again, we still have a challenge. We believe we won the election, and we are still up to date. Is it just a date? It's an inauguration day. A president will be sworn in, whether we like it or not. It's just a date. If this warning doesn't mean our challenge becomes moved or it's swept away, even though he has been sworn in, if the Supreme Court finally rose that Attico Abubakar would valiantly elected, Attico Abubakar would look at that point in time, become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I think what is more important to me is, again, I don't want us to look at this thing as just a presidential election. We have governors that will be sworn in.  We won an example, for instance, that we've never won before. Things are sort of like in classes, you know, 2019 elections and the state of play between Refugee and PNP. It's not very similar to the 2023 situation. There have been a lot more, a lot of gains and losses. Thankfully for us, Labour did make a lot of impact outside the presidential den that it did make. You know, so the balance of power still remains the same. Whether people will cross because the APC remains in power, I don't think so. And again, we are holding on to the hope that the Supreme Court will do the right thing in our eyes and rule that Attico Abubakar was valiantly elected. So I don't think you will see this tsunami of defections that you sort of like implied might happen. All right, Osir Aneni is a PDP chiftain. Always a pleasure to have you in the studio. Well, what becomes of your presidential candidates and all those who are challenging the president-elect's victory remains to be seen. We cannot preempt the tribunal, but we'll keep our fingers crossed. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much for being here. And that's the show tonight.
