I’ve decided to share my current beauty and lifestyle favorites AND give them away! I have 11 favorites from drink to hair accessory. I’m excited to show you the things I like and even more excited to be able to give all 11 to one lucky winner.
My Current Beauty and Lifestyle Favorites
- BeautyBlender – This makeup sponge has become a staple in my beauty routine! I now prefer applying my foundation with it over a brush. It gives me a flawless luminous finish.
- Apple Cider Instant Drink Mix – This apple cider is really good for being an instant mix and perfect for a cold night paired with Netflix and a soft blanket.
- ย Victoria’s Secret – I love many things from Victoria’s Secret, especially their Pink line. I buy underwear, swimsuits, yoga pants, leggings, hoodies, and more from VS.
- Boot Cuffs – Chances are, if I’m wearing tall boots, I’m also wearing boot cuffs. They add a cute finishing touch to my outfits that I love.
- IT Cosmetics makeup brushes – As I’ve said, I won’t use any other brand of brushes. IT Cosmetics brushes are the softest I’ve EVER used and provide an airbrush application for every product.
- Sheet masks – Last year, I discovered the awesomeness of sheet masks. They’re not super messy and they give good results. Bonus: they don’t harden on your skin. Quick and easy!
- Starbucks – So basic right? Well I don’t care! I’m not a Starbucks addict or anything, but I do love a good hot drink on a cold day every once in awhile. My favorites: White Chocolate Mocha, Peppermint Hot chocolate, and Caramel Apple Spice.
- Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil – My cuticles can get dry and start to peel, making my manicures not so cute. This cuticle oil helps tremendously and also smells really good.
- L’Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara – My favorite drugstore mascara. It gives my lashes volume and length. I buy this one every time I’m not trying something new.
- Hair Bows – I like simple, cute, and easy hairstyles. Elaborate updos with braids and curls look great; I just don’t have the time, patience, or skill to do them. Adding a cute bow to my hair is a nice way to add some style to my hair.
- Scarf – Simple fabric scarves with cool patterns and colors from Target are the best! I have quite a few of them and I’m sure I’ll be buying more to add to my collection.
One random winner will get 11 lifestyle & beauty items including:
A Beautyblender, apple cider instant drink mix, Victoria’s Secret makeup bag, Bearpaw boot cuffs, IT Cosmetics travel makeup brush set, two sheet masks, Starbucks red cup ornament, Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil, L’Oreal Voluminous Original mascara, set of 3 hair bows, and a scarf from Target.

‘ve just started using the L’oreal Infallible Foundation and it’s quickly becoming a favorite.
I have an It cosmetics brush that I got in a beauty test tube like 2 years ago. besides my beauty blender, it is my favorite makeup applicator. it is the foundation brush. I also have the it cosmetics celebration foundation but some days I love it, some days I hate it. Powder foundation is too cakey for my skin especially in the winter. I have the It cosmetics O2 foundation and I like that a lot but it isn’t enough coverage for me. ๐ This is a great list of favorites!
My favorite everyday hand lotion is Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion. I am pickie about hand lotion and the Aveeno feels good on my hands and doesn’t feel greasy.
I am getting older and in search of that perfect foundation and moisturizer. I am using rose hip oil at night and am loving it right now.
My newest beauty favorite is using Marula oil and/or Argan Oil under my moisturizer. I just found a new brand called Acure that sells 1 oz bottles for less than $20, which is a steal.
I loveee kvd shade light eye ๐
not going to bed with makeup!
That’s a favorite of mine too! I used to go to bed with makeup on every night. I started taking it off before bed years ago and I’ll never go back to leaving it on.

I love this giveaway! Thanks for being so generous and kind to readers.
No problem! I love doing it.
I would have to say lip gloss for sure
I love peppermint chapstick and almond milk coffee creamer ๐ Thanks for the giveaway!
I left a comment on your youtube post but one of my all time faves and current fave is beautyblender! I also love aveeno positively radiant (or maybe it’s ageless, I forget) firming moisturizer. love aveeno anything. I also am loving Garnier micellar cleansing water that I got to try from crowdtap. I would’ve never tried it because I would’ve thought it would make me breakout, because almost everything does, but it is amazing. makes my skin amazing. and it takes makeup off even eye makeup!
I would love to win this! All of the items seems really cool and can’t wait to try them!!!!
My favorite for this month is probably my eco tools dual ended brushes. they’re cheap but they do a good job ๐
(Also, I was wondering if you could please help me? I entered the giveaway, but it’s telling me I have 50 entries, but when I manually counted what I joined and the entries I should receive, I only counted 25, so I’m not sure why I’m getting extra entries…)
Thanks for letting my know Meri. I’ll look into it. Might just be a glitch.
Hey! My favorite is colourpop’s bandit ๐
I’ve just started using the L’oreal Infallible Foundation and it’s quickly becoming a favorite.
