My Favorite Finds in 2017
My favorite finds in 2017
1. Dior Fusion Mono Eyeshadow - I wish I had stock invested in this product. I kid you not, I get stopped daily..DAILY on what eyeshadow I have on. It is the perfect blend of of a little sparkle without looking like I’m trying too hard and plus side, it doesn't crease after wearing it all day! I still have my same pot from 6 months ago so it also lasts a long time! A tip too, don’t throw away the plastic lid after you open it, it will keep it from drying out!
2. The Makeup Eraser - I had a friend gift me one of these last year and it is amazing! I have started gifting it myself because, well, it works! I can’t always get all my makeup off with just cleanser and water, this removes it with just water! Then I use my soap after and my skin has never felt cleaner! You can also wash it when needed and it looks brand new all over again!
3. Popsockets - Worth the $15!! I have a large phone and small hands = hand cramp! And… I tend to be clumsy as well! This helps me grip my phone without feeling like I’m on the verge of giving myself carpal tunnel or shattering the phone that we all know is a beating to replace. Plus, its cute and my kids like to play with it, Case as well. So much happiness from one little circle!
4. Fringe Studio Agenda Planner - I have to write all the things down, all of it. I can’t remember anything unless I am staring at it! This is the best planner I have had in a long time. I love the layout and use of space. It also isn’t massive and fits into my tote quite nicely! I need one that covers 17 months and this offers that too! Yay for organization and trying to keep it all together!
5. Kennebunk Home Throw - This is by far my favorite throw ever. In fact we are now the proud owners of three of them! They are machine washable, and the softest thing on the planet! Grab one for you and anyone who loves to snuggle up on the couch because they are currently 25% off making it a steal at $29.90! I got so tired of fighting my kids for the best blanket, so i donated the old ones and now we each have our own! Movie nights are peaceful once again!
6. Laura Mercier Creme Brûlée Honey Bath - Holy Smokes I love this stuff. This is a splurge item for sure, but it also lasts a long time. I am a bath girl when I give myself the time. There is no better pampering for me than a candle and this in the tub! It can be hard for me to relax and not think about my “to do” list most times but this always does the trick!
7. Beauty Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion - I have skin that is picky, it is sensitive and also tends to get super dry, especially in the winter. I had a friend introduce me to this product and I use it every day! It goes on right after my sunscreen and and before my foundation. This has been a big game changer for me as I am trying to be very aware of what I put in and on my skin. This entire line is chemical free and doing incredible things for so many people. I will be ordering several more products this next month so I will be sure and keep you posted!
8. Colleen Rothschild Candles - Another splurge but again, truly my new obsession. I have noticed an insane difference between a really nice candle, and just a candle. The scent really is fabulous and makes the entire house smell divine. This candle can make the house just seem so cozy and luxurious all at once.
9. Julie Vos Valencia Stacking Ring - I discovered this brand when I was in New York for fashion week and was beyond impressed. The craftsmanship that goes into each piece is gorgeous. I was able to meet Julie herself and was struck by not only her kindness but also by the luxury of her designs and yet the affordability of her line. I love wearing things that are timeless and classic, and pieces that I don’t see everyone else wearing too. These stacking rings are a grab and go for me on the way out the door!
10. Stance Socks - This sock company is near and dear to my heart. Case and I are super active, him more so than me most times sadly. We love to hit the gym together when we can and we are both in need of socks that last, are well made, and have some fun personality too! I love the Isotonic Tab socks. They are low and are super comfy for anything from working out to running around with your kids. On a side note, I love the family behind this amazing line. it is such a gift to see people that you care about creating something that truly is spot on!
Well that is a wrap on some of my most favorite finds and brands that are making things that I use weekly if not daily! I truly enjoy sharing items that are special to me! Let me know what some of your favorites are too! I hope you guys are ready for 2018, I know I am!
Much love,
