April Favorites!

Hiii!!! Its time for my April Favorites! April has been a very busy month for me but I did a lot of shopping for new products this month because of spring/summer. My clothing haul will be up at the end of May!

Essie nail polish Flawless

This is a perfect light pink color, I've worn it in the winter and in the summer.

Milani Lipstick in Pretty Natural

I absolutely looove this lipstick. On my vanity I have a 24 holder for lipsticks and I was rushing one day and just picked up the first lipstick I saw and I am in love. It was my first time wearing it and I have worn it everyday since. 

Abercrombie perfume in Hadley

I have bought Hollister and Abercrombie for YEARS and they have never made a scent that was close enough to the way their stores smelled. For my birthday I got the rollerball of this perfume and I went to the store the next day and bought it. It smells clean, sophisticated, but still girly. 

E.L.F Matte Lip Cream in Tea Rose

This is a mauvy pink with a grey undertone. This is a cheap alternative if you are looking for the Kylie Jenner lip color. My Target is weird and doesnt carry much of E.LF so I found this at Old Navy. 

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Moonstone

Oh my god you guys. When I went to Ulta for lashes I was browsing the little stands they have of "sample" or "travel" stuff and I saw this. I HAD TO GET IT. I was sad when I saw the pressed formula was $38. I like the cream-liquid formula a lot better because sometimes I mix it with my Mac Pro Longwear foundation and its beautiful. 

Bath and Body Works Sleep lotion

I don't know why but for some reason the last two months I have not been sleeping well and I bought this sample size lotion along with the stress relief and I recommend both. I apply the sleep lotion to my hands and arms and it relaxes me to where I can fall asleep. (If you get stressed out easily or frequently have anxiety I recommend the stress relief lotion as well.)

Tea Tree Oil

My hair is so incredibly dry so I have been taking a dime size amount of any type of tea tree oil and running it through my hair and putting it up in a bun. It has restored a lot of the dullness and added moisture. (If you have really dry skin or hair, coconut oil works wonders too.) 

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

I had prom last week so all of April I have been getting my skin ready and I can't believe I have never mentioned these because I have been using them for YEARS. I don't usually have really bad pores but because of prom I wanted to clean out the dirt and grime from my face so once-twice a week I used a pore strip. I have the 8 deep cleansing porestrips (many different types of strips from biore based on what you need.) After I get out of the shower I dont dry my face I just pop one of these on and it says wait about 10 minutes but I usually wait till the strip has gotten hard. It is a little rough around the nose and eye area if you arent careful when placing so if you have sensitive skin the deep cleansing might irritate your skin. 

SilkWorks Silky Shiny Hair 

I have very curly hair and when I want to apply any heat to it I have to put oil in my hair. I absolutely love putting a dime size amount in my hand and working it around my hair. It detangles my hair and prevents a lot of breakage and damage and gives so much life to your hair. 

Hydrogen Peroxide

I know you're probably thinking, what would you use this for? The answer is pretty much anything and everything. Peroxide is used in a lot of skin care products to help dry out acne spots. Peroxide is usually used to clean wounds but when used on a cold sore or an acne spot, it cleans the bacteria and dries out the breakout. 

That is all for my April Favorites! I know this is a little early but its all good, you get a head start with trying new products for May.

Reminders:

I will have the spring/summer clothing haul up by middle of May. It just depends if I got shopping again.

I will be doing an in depth post about Prom, it's almost done!

First Impression: Maybelline Fit me Concealer/Maybelline Highlight Concealer

Yesterday I got the Maybelline Fit me Concealer in Fair and the Maybelline DreamLumi Touche Highlighing Concealer in Ivory. 

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Fair

I absolutely LOVE this concealer. I have officially stopped using Nars Creamy Concealer and I might actually return it. It blends beautifully and its more pigmented than the nars. It doesnt seperate under my eyes. Only thing I have noticed is it creases immediately if you do not set it. 

Maybelline DreamLumi Highlighter/Concealer in Ivory

This product is supposed to be an under eye brightener. I use it over my concealer to cancel out anymore darkness. It has a felt tip and it has to be turned for product to come out. I dont really feel like I need it. It only has about an inch of product in it! That really irritates me because no it wasn't a ton of money but it's not enough for the money I did spend on it. 

I hope you guys enjoyed the First Impression of these products! Xoxo.

Spring Haul

Hi guys! So I will have a clothing haul for spring/summer soon, I promise lol. I recently started a new job and needed a planner/wall calendar. I also needed black pens and some more pencils (because I'm running out for school lol) so far I love the floral print of this wall calendar and the color of this planner is beautiful. 

This is the Cambridge Edition Planner and it is in a mint blue. 

This is the Mead Monthly Wall Calendar. 

I went to the make up aisle too (of course) I had a list on my phone of products I've wanted that way if I ever end up in the cosmetics aisle I don't forget. Just a little tip I like to use especially if you are looking for drugstore make up.

If you have followed my blog since I started you'd know how much I love the ELF Eyelid Primer. I went to a different Target than I usually do and their ELF section was SOOOO much bigger and had more products than the Target close to me. To be completely honest it does bother me that not every store has the same amount of products from a certain brand than other store locations do, but it is what it is. 

I usually use the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer but I was not as impressed with it as I should have been considering the price so I decided to try the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in shade Fair. because a lot of people say it's a dupe or they like it more than the Nars. 

The last product I bought is the Maybelline DreamLumi Touch Highlighter Concealer in shade 320 or Ivory. They did not have the 310 shade but I think it would be too pink for me anyways. I love a really bright undereye because I am anemic it does cause my eyes to look every purple/blue. Especially in the inner corner. 

So that is all for my spring haul today. I will have the clothing haul and reviews on all these products up soon. I am still buying clothes and I will do a full closet update when I get the majority of my clothes changed over. Summer is coming!!! Xoxo.
