'It's a game changer.' The Mamamia team share the best beauty product they found in 2022.

You guys, it's nearly 2023. And, no - we don't know how it happened, either. What we do know, however, is that we've all got some ~thoughts~ to share regarding the mounds of beauty products we've tried this year. Because hooly dooly - it's been interesting.

While some of them have been a total flop (thanks, TikTok), other products have shuffled their cute way into our daily routines because they're Just. That. Good.

And because no good beauty aficionado would ever dare gatekeep a good beauty product, we've asked the Mamamia team to share the one thing that made the biggest difference to their hair/skin/nails this year.

Watch: Here are seven ways to improve your skin while sleeping. Post continues below.

And guess what? They told us!

From spendy moisturisers to a cult lip product, check out all the best beauty products the Mamamia team couldn't get enough of in 2022.

"I just finished this Sand and Sky mask. It smells amazing, left my skin soft and dewy, and came with a silicone application brush, which was a game changer! No product waste!" - Emmeline Peterson, Podcast Producer.

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Hyaluronic Acid Serum, $49 and Tatcha The Water Cream, $104.

"My two fave things of the year are the IT Cosmetics Hyaluronic Acid Serum - it's first time I've ever noticed a difference from using one - and Tatcha The Water Cream, which I will likely never purchase again because I am not a millionaire." - Polly Taylor, Commissioning Editor.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, $31.

"The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask has a permanent home on my bedside table. I put it on every single night before I go to sleep and I wake up with soft juicy lips. It’s so good!" - Talia Phillips, Strategy Manager.

Silver Bullet Genesis Hot Air Brush, $112.95.

"This blow brush has been a GAME CHANGER for me this year. As a curly girl who can never perfect a home blow dry, this has changed everything," - Olivia Simons, Head of Client Partnerships - SQUAD.

Rimmel London Kind & Free Moisturising Tint Foundation, $19.95.

"This tinted foundation is one of my top picks for 2022 - which is a huge call from someone who tries beauty products for a living. The formula is hydrating, non-cakey and perfect for everyday wear - it's every dry-skinned gals dream!" - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Mecca Cosmetica Lit From Within Illuminating Primer, $40.

"This primer! It gives a subtle glowy base, without being too glowy, and it always helps my foundation last until the end of the day. When I don't want to wear foundation, I wear it alone (just with SPF on top!) because it feels so nice and light on the skin." - Jess Kingston, Managing Editor.

BIAB manicure.

"Getting builder gel or builder in a bottle (BIAB) on my nails has been game changing in 2022! I prefer it to any other types of nail products as it’s so long lasting, really helps to strengthen and grow your natural nails, and feels a lot less damaging than shellac or SNS, as your nails aren’t stripped and filed back every time you get a refill."

"Only tricky thing is its still a little hard to find salons that offer the product, but it’s so worth it! - Simone Masci, Sales Manager.

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, $65 and Hourglass Voyeur Gel Liner, $42.

"It's a double whammy from me! Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter and Hourglass Voyeur Gel Liner are my top products for 2022."

"When I'm looking like death and need a bit of a pick-me-up, these two products are my go-to to bring me back to life. They've both got a perfect shimmer so they're perfect for a day or night face." - Dani Natoli, Research and Insights Manager.

CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum, $41.99.

"When CeraVe dropped their new CeraVe Skin Renewing range this year, I couldn't wait to get my hands (face?) on it. It's a dermatologist-backed brand, so you know it's going to be good. But I wasn't prepared to love it this much." 

"My pick of the trio (there's a retinol, night cream and serum) is the vitamin C serum. It's effective, yet gentle enough for my sensitive skin - and after trialling it over the course of two months I can honestly say my skin is so much brighter and clearer. I'll be keeping it on rotation for my wedding!" - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Frank Body Scrub and Cleanser, $25.

"It's gentle enough to use on sensitive skin, but also leaves you feeling smooth and hydrated. It also smells soooo good and doesn't make a mess like other shower scrubs." - Jess Kingston, Managing Editor.
