We're well into 2017 and you're probably looking for some innovative new beauty products to make this the best year yet. Not everything is going to fit the bill, but you can bet that each and every beauty product on this list is one that gets rave reviews from girls in the know. The products are also recommended by Bustle.com so you know they've got to be good. Here's to going viral in 2017!
1. An Eye Palette with a Built-in Brush Cleaner
Those days of of having to use a million brushes for your makeup are long gone. This Vera Mona Lotus Palette has a black strip on top that's used for cleaning off excess shadow residue from your brush. Beauty Tati raved about that feature in a recent video, and I have a feeling that once beauty brands recognize how convenient it is, they'll offer if in palettes in the following year.

2. A Lipstick Made from Unicorn Tears
Well, not really, but if unicorns were real, I bet their tears will closely resemble Too Faced's cult-favorite lipstick. Many beauty lovers have seen makeup inspired by unicorns all over the Internet, and it's only going to get bigger next year. So add this sparkly blueish-lavender lipstick to your shopping list.

3. A Makeup Sponge That Resembles a Bra Insert
No, these aren't the chicken cutlets you wore with your prom dress, this is actually a makeup sponge. YouTubers like Nikkie Tutorials gave in to the "Boobie Blender challenge," and found that it can actually work as well as a makeup sponge.

Jeffree Starr likes it because it's more sanitary and doesn't absorb as much product as a typical makeup brush or sponge.
4. Eye Masks Infused with Retinol
Retinol creams are great for a plentitude of reasons, but up until now, using it for under eye areas was a no-no. These Shiseido eye masks are changing the game with their retinol formula, perfect for targeting issues like sun damage. Allure did some additional investigating reporting to confirm that they're indeed safe.

5. A Cool Holographic Palette
Holographic makeup had a moment in 2016, but this innovative Kat Von D transformative palette proves it's not going anywhere. Featuring four prismatic shades made from refractive pearls, these powers can be used for eyes, lips, or as a highlighter to give your look more dimension.

Two things I've noticed while binge-watching beauty vloggers: Tatcha and gold-infused products (but mostly gold-infused products).

Metallic lips are all the rage now, and getting even bigger in 2017. You can thank Kylie Jenner for getting people all worked out over them! If you still can't snag a lip kit, here's another option.

14. Charcoal-Infused Skincare
Charcoal has been around as a prime skin care ingredient for a while, but as more consumers are becoming conscious about what they use, it's getting popular.
