I have never really understood people's affection for tools. Hammers, screwdrivers, those electrical ones that make holes in wood so you can put metal stuff in them. (Yep, I'll well versed in tool talk....). Beauty tools however? Different story. A good beauty tool can make all the difference between a good hair day and hiding under a hat. Between flawless foundation and a streaky mess. So what did we discover this year that have become intrinsic elements of our beauty tool belt? Check these hardworkers out...

VS Sassoon Digital Sensor Hair Dryer
After reading your reviews for the VS Sassoon Digital Sensor Hair Dryer I raced right out and bought it, and I have not had one single iota of regret. This hair tool is THE BEST DRYER I've used in all my years on this planet. It's everything the reviews said it would be - lightweight, fast, kind to your hair. THE BEST. Make it your 2019 mission to get yourself one.

Remington Proluxe Salon Straightener
If you've read this article you know what my MVP is for the year. Remington Proluxe Salon Straightener, come on down!! Unlike my GHDs, which were used a handful of times and then set aside only to be used in times of hope and desperation only to disappoint time and time again, my lovely Remmies have been pulled out a good three or more times A WEEK. They've consistently taken my curly/frizzy hair and smoothed it to perfection in no time at all. I'm tempted to buy a second pair lest anything happen to my first. So. Much. LOVE.

Glam by Manicare Buffing Foundation Brush
The Glam by Manicare Buffing Foundation Brush has saved me a fortune in wasted money. It has taken my most unblendable, difficult to work with foundations and wrangled them into submission. And we're not talking about cheap as chips foundations either, we're talking high-end. It beats and buffs them into a seamless finish, all the while giving me sensational-looking skin. It also works with great foundations too - but it's the ones I'd all but given up on that I'm stoked to revive, to use, to enjoy. Also, it's a super pretty brush that's so soft that it makes you feel like angels are kissing your skin while you use it - and who doesn't adore that!?

Garnier Fructis Smoothing Macadamia Hair Food
My favourite which I use every day is the Schwarzkopf Hair Mascara which covers up my grey hairs. The mascara glides through my hair and stays until I next wash it. I now have the medium brown and dark blonde and use either one depending on whether I have highlights put in.
