So 2016 is done, we survived, barely, and I don’t know about you, but I am READY to ring in this new year. However, as shitty as 2016 was, I discovered some of new “favorites,” especially since my last “October Favorites” post. So I figured I would share some of them with you, so that you can maybe share in some of these things that I absolutely OBSESSED with. From skin care, to food, to clothing, here are some of my new favorites, that I absolutely cannot get enough of. None of this stuff is really new or anything, but they are all new to me!
1) Garnier Anti-Acne BB Cream
Ya’ll, do not let the fact that this is a drug store product scare you away. I am by no means a beauty expert, but all I care about is whether something works, how my skin feels while I use it, and how my skin reacts to it. I am telling you, this stuff is so cheap, and it feels so light, and it literally hides 90% of any blemishes. I credit all my selfies to this.
2) Witch Hazel Toner
3) Zara “Toggles Coat”
This coat, you guys. I feel like royalty when I put it on. It’s double faced, faux suede/ shearling, so it is SO WARM. It’s on sale, though (for more that 50% off!) so grab it while you can!
4) Skinny puma track trousers (Asos exclusive)
Okay I cannot stop wearing these pants. They are so comfy, they make my ass look AMAZING, they do not stretch or bag out, and are SO WORTH IT! The olive are still full price, but the red are on sale and trust me, BUY THEM!
5) Halo Top Ice Cream
If you are trying to lose weight, or you are a mindful eater, WHY ARENT YOU EATING HALO TOP ICE CREAM?! When I tell you that you can eat AN ENTIRE PINT for the same calories as 1/2 a cup of ben and jerries…like I have eaten 3 pints in a week. So far the best flavors I have had are the Salted Caramel, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Mint, and Vanilla.
6) Vanity Planet Spin Brush for Perfect Skin
Okay think of how many germs are on your hands, then you touch your face to wash and you are putting all that bacteria on your face. This thing eliminates that, and more importantly, really gets out all that gunk and oil clogging your pores that your hands only get the surface of. It’s originally $100, but use code “ItsMandarin” and you get it for $30!
7) Lumee phone case
How many times are you out with friends, and you open snapchat to take a group selfie, and use the front camera and it’s “flash,” and you end up with this shitty, grainy picture? Or you’re tying to snap or facetime your crush, and all you end up with is harsh lighting, or, again, grainy-ass selfies. ENTER THE LUMEE CASE! It is a selfie, saver, and probably one of the best inventions a millenial could have. Plus, it was co-founded by Kim K, the selfie QUEEN, so you KNOW I’m a fan.
8) Mr. Bean Coffee Scrub
Buy…this…product. I use it as an exfoliator, and lemme tell you it feels so good, it works AMAZINGLY, and yes, TASTES good. Since I use it as an exfoliator, I have to force myself to use it every other day, and not every day. I literally get excited to use this scrub. Plus, you do not need a lot, and it comes with so much in the bag, so it lasts forever. My skin is glowing after I use it.
9) P28 Protein Bread
Okay, this is not new to me, by any stretch of the imagination, because I’ve used it for years, but it is a STAPLE in my pantry. If you have a hard time giving up bread, but need protein, this is for you. It tastes AMAZing and it’s HIGH in protein (28g for two slices). It’s not very popular in too many grocery stores yet, but I know Wegmans carries it, and you can also order it online. They also have it in bagels, and flatbreads. I am telling you, if you buy one thing on this list, buy. this.
There ya have it, guys. I hope you maybe found a new obsession for yourselfs 😉
Till next time, babes
