Hey ladies! I was surveying the collection this morning and realized that based on a lot of your suggestions, and some others from BT, I have some really nice stuff! It got me thinking- what's the best thing I've bought this year? It was hard to whittle down, but I think my top performing product thus far this year is probably be the YSL foundation. It's my go to; it's what I reach for everyday. I love the quality of it and it lasts all day. What is your top pick?

Even though I don't have it yet, I'm going to say the Becca highlighter. It's seriously so gorgeous. Also, I bought the guerlain invisible skin foundation mid- Feb and it is my DREAM! I can't wear right now because it is too light but it is seriously the first and best "high-end" foundation I've bought!!

I tried the new one once in store, and it was nice, but I was swayed to YSL which was a better color match. I am loving Guerlain products though. The meteorites were in my top 3 products this year.

I only have the foundation and meteorites. The foundation is the only one that after I applied I thought "did I even put any on?"

I LOVE my BareMinerals Star Treatment palette palette. It has most flattering I've come across (for my golden brown eyes) and the formula is amazing! Usually I only use about half a palette consistently, but with this one ALL the shades are perfect!
I also love my Chantecaille powders. I have the White Tiger compact, and it mattifies without looking flat and it softens the skin. I also have the Rose Petals highlighter which is stunning it adds glow with zero sparkle and shimmer so it is very natural-looking. These powders are so finely milled that they blend like a dream, make the skin feel soft and they look natural while still giving the perfect matte finish or glow.

Bare Minerals makes some really nice products kenny. I have a quad in The Rare Find and it's quite nice! I need to look into them a bit more too. I've never seen that palette. I should see if it's still around.

I would have to say my becca primer and the NARS duo in Isolde. The becca primer isn't perfect but seems to be the best so far in keeping my oily t-zone in check with the 100% Florida humidity. As for the NARS duo, I must wear that severals times a week with my UD Scorch Eyeliner. Make them Blue eyes really POP!!! 1st attempt at the EYE selfie! Not to thrilled but will share anyway

How do you apply the meteorites? I've been using my deluxe sample, and while they're gorgeous in the container and smell wonderful, I don't know that they do much. I'm fully willing to believe I'm doing it wrong though!

When I want a glowy complexion I use as an all face powder. I don't notice much as a highlighter. I have 02 Claire.

shadetertiary, I use a fluffy brush and swipe in the T-Zone. It gives a glow to my cheeks.

I like them fine, I just want to love them if I'm going to spend so much for them.

The Guerlain Meteorites Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer and the Guerlain Parure de Lumiere foundation. I've been trying to use up some other foundations and am never happy with the look now that I'm used to Guerlain. Just repurchased the foundation and I can't remember having ever repurchased as foundation ... always wanting to try something else. The Meteorite balls are kinda meh. They're ok, and I'm glad I have them. But I don't see myself starting a collection of them.
