THE BEST-SELLING BEAUTY PRODUCTS OF 2016

You’ll want to get a pen and paper for this.

This post is dedicated to anyone that’s walked into Priceline or the beauty floor at Myer or David Jones, or jumped on a site like MECCA, AdoreBeauty or RY.com.au, and left feeling shook by the sheer amount of choice.

It’s overwhelming, we realise. Even with all the filters and sales assistants waxing lyrical with advice, beauty is so personal that what works for one might not work for another. Still, it’s helpful to get an idea of what others have in their baskets so you at least have a starting point next time you’re in store or online.

With that in mind, we asked all your favourite beauty retailers to name their top 5 best-sellers in 2016, i.e the most popular beauty products in the country, basically. Read it, share it & go shopping.
