When I sat down at my vanity with my notebook to suss out my favorites of the year, eyeshadows were probably the most difficult for me because there were SO MANY contenders. I feel like eyeshadow formulas have come really far in the past 5 years or so and what I love now is leaps and bounds ahead of what I was loving back when I started this blog. When choosing these five, I definitely considered formulas that were above and beyond, but also what I'm personally most likely to reach for in my collection when I'm not testing something out for review and these are definitely the products that I tend to come back to - and one that is new but just... an absolute standout from this past year.

For the third day of Earth Week, where I'm focusing on natural, organic, and environmentally friendly beauty products, I wanted to feature some makeup. While there are a lot of options for natural skin and body care products, I think it can be a little bit harder to find natural makeup products. I've had these Pure Anada Luminous Loose Powder Eyeshadows in my collection for a while and I've been wanting to write about them, so now seemed like the perfect time!
