I have found some beauty "musts" over the years. Products that I wonder where I would be without them. Some of these I have been using for years, others I have only been introduced to in the last year. Here are my Sixteen Beauty Musts for a #TBCSweetSixteen, let me know if any of these are in your Beauty arsenal or what some of your "musts" are in the comments below:

1.Garnier BB Cream. I was late to the game when it comes to the world of BB Cream, I always used a tinted moisturizer so I never saw the appeal or the need for BB Cream until I was generously sent a bottle from Garnier - I have never looked back! Perfect for every day, I love my BB Cream.

2. Charlotte Tilbury eye palette. I never though 4 colours could actually take me from morning to night. Actually form morning to night without having my day makeup look to heavy or at night looking to light. Pick your look, she has ten - I love uptown girl,and the simple how to shows how you can go from "Desk to Disco" as Charlotte says.

3. Bioderma Micellar Solution. Anything Bioderma really is a life saver. Calming, hydrating and perfect for the end of a long day. This may be cheating but I recommend both the original Sensibio Micellar Solution and the 3-1 Micellar, Make up remover and Lotion. Depending on the season and how dry my skin feels I alternate or use both.

4. EOS Shaving cream. I hate shaving my legs. I love the result, smooth gams but my dry sensitive skin screams in protest and would often be red and irritated after. I spent money on "Sensitive" shaving creams from other companies but nothing seemed to work. I was familliar with EOS lip balms and hand creams so I gave their shave cream a shot. GAME CHANGER. There is so much I love about this product. Starting with it's plastic bottle, I know I am not the first person who has had to clean the circle of rust after having left a shaving cream bottle in the shower. It's unique cream (not foam like most) formula is soothing and smells great. After I shave my legs, my gams are hydrated and not screaming in protest, meaning I have no hesitation to keeping them smooth.

5. Shu Uemura Texture Finishing spray. This stuff gives you that "I woke up like this" hair in the best way possible. Adding the perfect amount of texture with optimal hold and smell this has quickly become a hero product.

6. L'Occitane en Provence Pierre Herme collection Neroli perfume. Famed confectioner Pierre Herme whom you can probably credit for the macaron craze as he is the man behind Laduree, he collaborated with one of my all time favourite brands, L'Occitane and this gorgeous perfume is the result. Fresh, luxurious and understated this perfume has quickly become one of my favourites.

7. Fresh Beauty Rose Eye Gel cream. I never used eye cream until this past year and boy did I get schooled. First, only apply with your ring finger as the skin aorund your eyes is so delicate and a little goes a long way. This miracle worker of a cream is an absolute must. No matter how little sleep I got the night before this eye cream gets rid of puffiness and adds the brightness you need. If you don't already have this or have never used an eye cream before or even think you don't need eye cream - I was like you, no shame - run out and grab this cream stat.

8.Shiseido Vitam E Hydrating and firming mask. I have very dry skin and too often I find that I focus too much on my dry skin when selecting skin care. This Shiseido mask is unlike any mask I have ever used before. Typically a part of my Sunday night routine, you simply apply this super hydrating gel on top of cleansed skin and let it sit for 3 minutes(I know only 3 MINUTES so you have time) and then wipe it away with a cotton pad. This mask is incredibly hydrating but it seriously delivers on the firming aspect of it's name. Read my review for it here.

9. Jouviance Exfoliator. Obama recently annouced the US wide ban on micro beads and Loblaws (owner of Shoppers Drug Mart) has said that they will no longer carry products with micro beads either. This exfoliator is Canadian made and is all natural with bamboo stem extract and olive seed powder. This exfoliator is better than any pther I have ever used, it clears away impurities and dead skin without drying out my sensitive skin. Read my full review here.

10. Kerastase Nutritive, Nectar Thermique Glacage Thermo-Seal Iris Royal Polishing Nourishing Milk. Any product with such a long name better deliver and this does. I was introduced to this product after I had my kerastase Fusio Dose treatment and It has extended the benefits of that treatment for weeks! After my shower I apply this cream from the ends of my hair up 75% of the way. This products has easily saved inches from having to be cut off my hair as it stops split ends in their tracks and protects my hair from all of the heat of my styling tools.

11. Nyx Beauty foundation mixers. I am one shade away from being a ghost. I am as pale as they come and this often makes foundations difficult as the slight bit of sun and I am need of a whole new colour. Using two mixers for whitening and luminsing allows me to customise my foundation to match my perfect hue and add a je ne sais quoi glow from within. The Nyx store only recently opened in Toronto and is a Beauty lover's dream.

12. Tweezerman Eyelash Curler. There are eye lash curlers and there are Eyelash Curlers. Tweezerman developed this amazing tool by accomodating and considering eye shape. If you have a round eyes such as myself, you need a deep set eye lash curler to reach all of your lashes and if you have more almond shaped eyes you need a wider set curler. I curl my lashes every time I use mascara and this tool has made all of the differnce. One size does not fit all and Tweezerman has thought this through.

13. Sugar Soft Scrub. Custom made here in Toronto, this amazing exfoliant made with essential oils can be customised to the scent of your choice. This product is amazing and I was totally in awe of how well is works. Bost exfoliating and moisturising, this product delivers the skin of your dreams.

14. Skylar Skin 5 Days to Flawless. I shared my experince with this amazing system last week, it is comprised of 5 days of face masks that ensure your skin is Flawless by Friday. Available at Trade Scerets, this is an instant refresh for my skin at the start of every new season.

15.Estee Lauder Night Serum. I remember my Irish cousin buying ths product up in bulk when she came to visit us the one summer. She told me it was nothing short of a miracle worker but at the age of 16 I did not understand why a 26 year old needed anti ageing product. Fast forward to now and I cannot imagine a night without applying this serum. My skin looks that much better when using it and I am in love with my skin more and more.

16. Julep Beauty "It's Whipped", I just got this liquid lipstick at the end of last year and I love everything about it! From the formula to the applicator and it's perfect red orange hue. I wore this product all day and was able to easily touch up and keep my lips hydrated. Life changing lip colour that you need to add in your kit.

Bonus: I know, I know, this was supposed to be 16 but I couldn't help but add this lash lengthening gem of a mascara from Maybelline. The Falsies is one of the best drugstore finds of 2015. Creating the doll like lashes of my dreams, this mascara is a must!
