Overwhelming - the number of beauty products launched in 2016. From reality stars (Kylie Jenner) to makeup artists (Pat McGrath) to beauty bloggers (Huda Kattan), everyone seems to be launching a makeup/beauty line. So how do you know what's worth it and what's not? Word of mouth! Or in today's world - word of social media.
Here we have a roundup of 10 beauty products that rocked the social media world in 2016.
1. Kylie Lip Kits
Hands down the most talked about brand of the year - Kylie Cosmetics. Even though Kylie Jenner's lips are (clearly) not the result of lipstick/lip contouring, her lip kits caused a FRENZY. When the lip kits first launched - they were impossible to get a hold of, often selling out in a matter of seconds.
2. Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer
This hairdryer will set you back by $400 (approx AED 1400), but it is unlike any hairdryer you have used before. It is lighter, quieter, faster (its motor is up to eight times faster than other dryer motors) and, crucially, prevents heat damage to your hair with its “intelligent heat control” – you’ll find your hair is shinier, healthier and easier to manage.
3. Molly Cosmetics - SiliSponge
If a silicone bra insert replacing a makeup sponge doesn't get talked about, we don't know what will.
4. OUAI Haircare
Hairstylist to the Kardashians, Jen Atkins launched her own haircare line early in 2016. The Texturizing Hair Spray was an instant hit.
5. Nail Inc.'s Spray Nail Polish
A paint can that spray paints nails? Hell yeah!
6. Sigma's Holographic Lipstick (Lip Switch)
Holographic makeup and nails were big trends in 2016. It was Sigma's Lip Switch that was considered one of the better products to flaunt this trend.
7. Lush Shower Jellies
Lush's Shower Jellies have been around for a long time, but it wasn't until the video below went viral that people started talking about these in a big way.
8. Pat McGrath's Lip Kit
When the world's most influential makeup artist starts her own makeup line, you best believe the world will talk about it.
9. Tata Harper Products
Tata Harper products were talked about a lot because it is the first ultra-luxury skincare line with 100% natural ingredients.
10. Huda Beauty Rose Gold Textured Eyeshadow Palette
The queen of Instagram, Huda Kattan launched the Rose Gold Textured Eyeshadow Palette only a few months ago. The palette was popular not just because Huda launched it, but because it had the perfect mixture of highly saturated mattes, chrome pressed pearls, and 3D metal shadows.
