Honestly, my Stanley cup totally lives up to the hype — it keeps drinks ice-cold for hours (like all day hours), and the handle makes it super easy to carry around. I love that it fits in my car’s cup holder even though it’s huge, and the straw setup...

I got this lip gloss as a birthday gift, and I genuinely use it all of the time. It's moisturizing and glowy and juicy and amazing and lasts forever. ALSO the pistachio color is to die for.
