Michelle and Mikelle's Favourite Things 2025
A curated list of our absolute favorite finds this year — from wellness must-haves to daily essentials we genuinely use and love. These are the products we swear by and think you'll love too.
LifeStraw Go Series – Insulated Stainless Steel Water Filter Bottle
“I won’t leave home without it. I can fill up anywhere without worry – from sketchy airport water fountains to beachside taps in Mexico. It keeps my water icy cold, and tastes fresh and clean. Plus, one filter replaces 8,000 plastic bottles, so my eco-conscious heart is also happy. “
Ilia Skin Tint
“This is my absolute favourite skin tint! I love it mostly because of it’s dewy finish that gives me this incredible glow and makes my skin look 10 years younger. Seriously! Plus it has SPF 40, so I’m getting a little extra protection from the sun’s rays. The fact that it’s safe for sensitive skin means that I never worry about breakouts in the tropical heat.”
Women's One Piece Swimsuit Tummy Control Bathing Suit
“I’ve fallen hard for CupShe’s swimsuits. Gorgeous styles with their magical lining and extra spandex so they’re like shapewear for the beach. Smoothing and sculpting in all the right places. The tummy control feels like a gentle hug, not a wrestling match with your swimsuit. And they’re super affordable. I never thought I’d feel this confident in a swimsuit..”
IRIS Personal Lubricant
“Not all lubricants are created equal. In fact, many brands can actually make the reason you need the lube worse. That’s why I love this Personal Lubricant from IRIS. Formulated with the right osmolality and pH, this product gives the right kind of glide.”
Kevin Murphy Medium Hold Styling Paste
“I’ve had short hair for over 20 years and this is a staple in my cosmetic bag. A little goes a long way, and using more for a structured look doesn’t weigh down my hair or look greasy. A must-have for styling a pixie cut. Oh, and it smells fantastic.”
Vivier Serum 10
“I couldn’t believe the difference in my skin when I started using vitamin C serum. I’ve tried some less expensive ones, but I keep coming back to this Vivier product which also seems to be a favourite among dermatologists.”
Mini Babelio White Noise Sound Machine
“I’ve never been a fan of white noise until a recent holiday with my kids. My son brought his travel-size noise machine, and we ended up sharing a room. I’m a light sleeper and this noise machine kept me from popping awake at the slightest sound. Effective and doesn’t take up valuable luggage space. Highly recommend.”
Vital Proteins Collagen Powder
“I haven’t been able to find a dairy or vegan protein powder that doesn’t trigger my hemorrhoids or cause me to bloat. So, I use this collagen peptide in my morning coffee to kickstart my day with 10 to 20 grams of protein. It’s helped me to build a consistent habit when it comes to hitting my daily protein-intake goals.”
Maybelline Waterproof Mascara
“I’ve tried many different mascara over the years. And Maybelline Waterproof Mascara is still one of my favourites. Especially if I’m going to be active and/or in the water. And the price is unbeatable.”
Beck's Broth Instant Coffee
“I’m absolutely hooked on Beck’s Broth Coffee! This clever fusion packs 15g of protein-rich bone broth into deliciously creamy coffee with chocolatey, nutty notes. I get my caffeine fix while effortlessly adding protein to my day.”
EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Facial Sunscreen
“I’ve tried many different mascara over the years. And Maybelline Waterproof Mascara is still one of my favourites. Especially if I’m going to be active and/or in the water. And the price is unbeatable.”
ELEVEN AUSTRALIA Keep My Colour Blonde Shampoo
“I’m obsessed with how this shampoo keeps my blonde looking salon-fresh! The blue-violet base fights brass like a champion while soy proteins and natural extracts add strength and bounce. My hair has never looked so fabulous.”
