Just 1 more sleep to hit the beginning of 2017 and I can’t believe with my own eyes that this year went so quick as a splash of light and when it comes to beauty side, I learnt a lot on more of natural skin care and saying No! No! to sulphates and parabens. Having completed 2 years of blogging, it totally transformed my way of thinking about beauty and each day has been such a learning curve from blogging and also, from the great friendly bloggers too and so, on this occasion, I want to thank all supporting bloggers who gave me tremendous strength to keep going with the good work. With talk aside, let me jump into the best of 2016 beauty – part 1 and so, roll up your sleeves and stay tuned!
Skin care is the most important ritual that I followed religiously twice a day all throughout the year non-stop and it really paid off well leaving my skin extremely supple and having a healthily balanced skin at the same time. Meanwhile, I would sincerely recommend anyone to invest in some good skin care essentials as it is such a game changer.
First of all, let me start with Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant which is such a real multi-tasker that one should have. Whether as a face mask or in-flight moisturiser, this is one miracle product that acts a skin barrier that can be used for all kinds of season.
Another great brand for skin care series is Clinique and skin care is not complete without it and for more information, **CLICK HERE**.
Thanks to Korean beauty who have introduced serum as a staple component in our daily skin care regime and a special thanks to Estee Lauder, who made an exponential serum debut to the western world and their Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Recovery Complex II has become my all time favourite.
Hyaluronic Acid is one of the common ingredient that is used in Korean beauty and special HA serum from OZ Naturals is my best pick on morning skin care routine. Want to know more, then **CLICK HERE**.
I always love a good quality cleansing fluid and Lancome has literally nailed with their Galateis Douceur Facial Cleansing Fluid.
Exfoliation is an important process in a cult-favourite skin care routine and having a smooth and polished legs is another ultimate thing and to make this dream come true, then **CLICK HERE** to know more.
My latest find in body care is Neal’s Yard Remedies almond oil and I massage it everyday after shower and to be honest, it works wonders and it is totally non-greasy in texture and it sinks into skin right away. And, I always love to have a good lip mask and this Kind Natured lip balm acts as a perfect lip mask as the content of manuka honey acts at its best and **CLICK HERE** to know more.
TBS Piñata Colada fresh body sorbet is my ultimate hit for the whole of summer as this limited edition made a whirlpool moment in the whole of beauty blogger world.
LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub has become an essential staple in my lip care routine and to check more, **CLICK HERE**.
Having chapped lips? Then, try Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 which acts as an ideal lip care winter saviour. **CLICK HERE** to have a sneak peek.

L’occitane is one of the great brands to try bath products and their verbena shower gel and repairing shampoo are my latest finds in hair care division. **CLICK HERE** to know more.
Quality hair oil is an essential element to have a healthy looking silky hair and OGX argan oil of morocco completely nails it. **CLICK HERE** to know more.
Nail care has become a great trend in 2016 and me not in exception either and to fulfil this, I always trust my Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter and to know more, then **CLICK HERE**.
I have tried so many perfumes during this year and these are my current favourites.
Best of 216 Beauty – Part 2 is coming soon and it covers makeup alone and so keep your eyes peeled.

I love OGX shampoo and conditioner and it helps that they all smell so good! Which of the two lip balms do you think is better in regards to treating and healing dry lips? Happy New Year girl!

I love anything tropical and That’s why piñata colada became my favourite and you should try that cuticle cream as it is brings moisture and also, leaving aroma at the same time and it lasts long too as a little goes long way and very refreshing as well and what is your best beauty pick for 2016?

Indeed, I love those kinds of scents too! Ooo sounds so lovely, I definitely will look it out! Ooo my favourite pick for 2016 hmm, that’s a tricky one! I had many favourites which I have posted about but just one is so difficult!! I would probably say the Beauty Blender, it completely changed the way I apply makeup and I really couldn’t do without it!

Such a great list you put together. One of the things you mentioned that I’ve been wanting to try is that Elizabeth Arden cream. The other products you mentioned in skin care are all ones I’ve also loved. This will be the year of nails for me since I’m finally doing them myself. A few fails on my first attempts but I’m learning.
