The Loveliest Spring 2019 Favorites
June 22, 2019Although monthly/seasonal favorites fell off the radar in the beauty community on YouTube, I still want to incorporate a “favorites” style post on my blog. Simply put, this allows me to talk about things I’m loving (beyond just cosmetics) in a snackable way. Keep reading for the loveliest Spring 2019 favorites.

The Loveliest in Beauty
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water
After months of using mainly cream and balm cleansers to remove my makeup, I forgot how refreshed my skin could feel using a micellar water cleanser. The Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micellar Water works wonders at removing my makeup without stripping my skin or leaving it feeling greasy.
Cover FX Monochromatic Blush Duos
I picked up quite a few of the Cover FX Monochromatic Blush Duos* during the Sephora VIB sale in April. So far I’ve been impressed by how these wear. Each duo is pigmented, buildable, and easy to blend on the cheeks. Plus, I love how these blushes are formulated without talc. Read my in-depth Cover FX Monochromatic Blush Duo Review.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb
I was beginning to feel like the only millennial American who hadn’t tried Fenty. DAMN this the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb formula was worth the wait. I own the shades Fenty Glow* and Fu$$y.*
Both shades make my lips appear plump and juicy. From a formula standpoint, these glosses last on the lips for hours without leaving my lips feeling or looking cracked. See where these landed in my ultimate lip gloss ranking.
MAC x Disney’s Aladdin Prince Jasmine Eyeshadow Palette
I already have a dedicated review on this little palette, but this is a beautiful 9-pan neutral eyeshadow palette that I’ve been reaching for so often. I love reaching for this for effortless day and glam looks.

The Loveliest in Fashion & Lifestyle
Felix Gray Hopper Eyeglasses in Seneca Mist
As a blogger, graduate student, and digital marketer, I spend an unreal amount of time staring at screens. Unfortunately for me, the blue light emitted from my digital devices can cause headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision (and can contribute to long-term, degenerative eye diseases).
After receiving some good news regarding a marketing research position I applied to this past Spring, I decided to pick up a pair of Felix Gray Eyeglasses. Overall, I’m obsessed. I love how these glasses look. Also, they really do a great job of mitigating the harmful effects of blue light.
HydraPeak Wide-Mouth Water Bottle
OMG. After years of searching for the perfect water bottle, I’ve finally found it! The HydraPeak Wide-Mouth Stainless Steel Water Bottle keeps my water ice cold all day… without sweating all over the place. Moreover, I can easily add ice to keep my water even colder due to the wide-mouth of the bottle!!! I’ve been staying way more hydrated because of this bottle!
The Loveliest in Entertainment
Whitney Hendricks
Whitney Hendricks quickly became one of my favorite Beauty YouTubers. Her talent with makeup and her honesty standout. Throughout her videos, she speaks to the unhealthy habits that are fostered in the online beauty community. Additionally, she provides her insight as a consumer, an influencer, and a practicing makeup artist.
Friends
I won’t lie – I hated Friends when I was younger. In fact, I never saw the appeal of the show. However, after finishing The Office (American version) this year I needed to fill the void. As a twenty-something adult, I find myself relating better to the characters and the humor in the show than I did when I was younger.
Side note: I am currently on YouTube and Netflix fast. Therefore, these will likely be the only video content I include in my roundup until the Fall.
P.S. I Still Love You & Always and Forever, Lara Jean
To All the Boys I Loved Before was one of my favorite books (and films) of 2018. I gobbled up the sweet, albeit predictable, teen rom-com love story. The follow-up stories chronicling Lara Jean Covey’s relationship with Peter were light, fluffy reads that I gobbled up!
Ed Sheeran x Chance the Rapper – Cross Me
I wasn’t too impressed by Ed Sheeran’s collaboration with Justin Bieber, I Don’t Care. However, I was immediately hooked as soon as I heard Cross Me. To be fair, I tend to love most songs that feature Chance the Rapper. This song always has me dancing in my car.

I love Fenty’s Gloss Bomb and I actually want to buy all the shade I don’t have yet, perfect for this time of the year!
I agree – although I wear gloss year-round lol! What shades do you have?? I’ve also heard that they may be releasing more shades this year!!
Well I do too but I like gloss even more this time of the year lol! I only have Fenty Glow.. omg more shades would be amazing!!!
I’ve been meaning to try the Fenty gloss bomb! I need to round to ordering it x
I LOVE it – they Fenty formula is one of my favorite gloss formulas at the moment!! 😀 I want the third shade lol!
I love that you’ve done a favourites post! It means I get some amazing recommendations from you. I need to buy a Fenty gloss because I have heard so many amazing things about them! You always seem to tempt me into buying things!
Alex x
Oh noooo! Maybe I need to sprinkle in a few more negative reviews lmao lol! Can’t wait to read all about your new CP goodies! 😀
Haha no don’t worry I love seeing what you love! I can’t wait either!!
Oooh, I love the MAC x Disney palette! It looks super cute. You can never go worng with Fenty. Glad you found a water bottle that you like!! I love these thermo bottles – they’re such a lifesaver during the heat!! To All The Boys I Loved Before is such my mood. Thanks for sharing these recent faves!

I will never go back to normal water bottles again lol!
I have Yetis and Hydroflask water bottles that are pretty similar, but now I want to try the one you have! These are all such fun products! I see so many I want to try, LP!
OMG I’ve always wanted to try a Yeti bottle, but they only sell the massive ones at my local Marshalls (and they’re kinda pricey). But I definitely want to replace all of my water bottles eventually with these types in the future.
I love the sound of those glasses! I tend to use settings to yellow light my screens (I think that’s the right words) and dial down the brightness. I wonder if such things come with suitable prescription lenses for short sighted people like me!
That is a great idea!! I have my phone set to change to warm / yellow lighting after a certain point at night, but I haven’t changed the settings on my computer. I do know that some brands (including Felix Gray) make prescription versions of these glasses. I purchased mine without a prescription though because I wear them over my contacts!
I still haven’t tried FENTY but that gloss is first on my list when I do! I totally need a pair of those blue light eyeglasses & yessss, to Friends!! I also am not the biggest fan of Justin’s & Ed’s song but, I gotta check out this one with Chance– thanks for sharing. ♡
I’ve been so obsessed with the new album – I think my fave song is def Beautiful People with Khalid… because I love anything with Khalid in it lol! Voice of an angel 100%.
And oh yes – you def have to try Fenty. It is my top favorite gloss formula… and they do sell Fenty Glow as a mini in a kit with a mini killawatt highlighter, so its less of an investment to try these items (if you were interested in both).
Everyone seems to be in love with Khalid so I will def have to check out that song, Beautiful People. Thank you for your recommendation!! I’m listening to music now & going to put it on next. 🙂
Ooo, that’s really nice to know about the Fenty kit. I would def buy it if I come across it! Thank you! 😀
Fenty gloss is on my bucket list, i have heard so many amazing things about that gloss.
The Fenty Gloss Bombs are my favorite gloss formula 100% – Sephora sells a mini size of the Fenty Glow Gloss Bomb & Killawatt highlighter if you’re interested in trying both formulas but don’t want to spend all the $$$ that you would have spent on full-size products!
