Now that 2015 is winding down, it’s time for reflection and gratitude. In that spirit, the Cut’s beauty team took a look at their makeup bags to identify their favorite beauty products released this year (or very close to it). If we were celebrities giving an acceptance speech at an awards show, we would include all of the items from this slideshow, from our favorite Korean beauty skin-care invention to our workhorse lipsticks to several items we appear to have in common with the Kardashians. Click through for our best picks of the year; may they help inform your last-minute Sephora wish lists.
