This year has been one of discovering lots of new brands, products and things to love. I've tried a lot of new beauty products and experimented with things I wouldn't usually dare to change (I'm talking foundation, nothing else!) So I wanted to take the time to celebrate in some of these findings and hopefully introduce some of you to some amazing new products and brands for 2016...
