Beauty Products & Purchases
Following my “Favorite Moments & Life Lessons of 2017” blog post, I decided to do a round up of all of my favorite beauty products of 2017 and my favorite purchases of 2017. It was difficult to edit my list down to just a few, because there were so many different products I LOVED this year. I am so excited to do more beauty themed blog posts in 2018.

1
Luminous Silk Foundation
Giorgio Armani
I normally never branch out with foundations but this year I tried quite a few new ones and I REALLY love this one!!! It really does look silky when it goes on.

2
Extra Dimension Skinfinish Highlighter
MAC
I really like the gold tones in this one and always get compliments when I wear this. This was definitely my most worn highlighter this year.

3
'Pro Longwear' Waterproof Brow Mascara
MAC
I finally discovered brow mascaras and I bought several to try and didn’t like them so I started using normal mascara. Then MAC sent me their brow mascara to try and I absolutely love love love it. It is waterproof and I wear it in the color Bold Brunette and it is the perfect shade for me.

4
Translucent Setting Powder
Laura Mercier
I put this on everyday right after my foundation! I love that my skin still looks dewy but this helps set the foundation.

5
Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation
Laura Mercier
Giving another foundation a shout out because I also really really love this one!!! It too looks really silky when it goes on and has a really creamy feel to it. I also love that it spreads to nicely you hardly need to use any product.


1
Large Shopping Tote Bag
Saint Laurent
I take this with me everywhere. It has kinda been my mom bag.. it carries everything and looks good with everything.

2
Mixed Berry Drink
Chobani
I know this is random but I drink about 2 of these everyday and I have to stop myself from having more. They are SOOO good and they also have 14 grams of protein which is nice since I am always trying to get more protein.

3
Minivan
2018 Honda Odyssey
My minivan – wah wah such a mom now haha! But I love love love my minivan. I got the 2018 Honda Odyssey for those who have asked.

4
Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press
Breville
We love juicing oranges for fresh OJ! We love our juicer we bought and the kids have so much fun doing it.

5
Leather Cardholder
Cuyana
I have a big wallet I use but earlier this year I got this cardholder and gosh I love it so much! It is so nice just having something small because sometimes I just want to bring my cards and keys into the store and nothing else. So I love being able to put this in my back pocket or just having it not take up space in a smaller purse. I have it in black but I kinda want to get this nude color!
I just bought this juicer using your link! Thanks for sharing 🙂
It makes me laugh every time I see you and your minivan! I swear you can make anything stylish haha. I still don’t know if I’m cool enough to drive one… Also, I’ve seen yall use that juicer on insta stories so many times and I found one similar on Amazon to give my husband for Christmas but dangit it wasn’t the Breville! I could have sworn I got the same one lol oh well as long as it juices. Xoxo-JS
I totally need to try that chobani water! I tried a different protein water earlier this year and it was AWFUL! So I’m hoping to like this one more! Do you just get it at any grocery store?

Yeah! Any grocery store or even gas station!!! Almost all gas stations have them! Costco has big packs but it comes with multiple flavors and I mostly like the Mixed Berry! Although, all are really good.
I have always wanted to try that Armani foundation!

I love your work! Can’t wait for the Botox post! Tell me your posting it soon?!
I am dying to try the Giorgio Armani foundation! I have heard it’s amazing! http://thehuntbundle.com/
If anyone else liked the tote bag, but $995 is wildly over-budget… I found this!: http://www.hm.com/us/product/60319?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-6fH_I612AIVg7bACh3EJQzPEAQYASABEgIZBPD_BwE&article=60319-A&s_kwcid=AL!860!3!200226264644!!!g!362029154607!&ef_id=Vdh0LAAABfRN4VRA:20171231204449:s
