April Favorites

It’s hard to believe that it is already the end of April! Time has been flying!

Josie Maran Argan Oil

I have been using this stuff religiously this entire month and I absolutely love it, as you can see from my review. My favorite thing about this stuff is that my skin soaks it up so quickly, I can quickly jump into bed without worrying if it will spread. And the glow that it gives me the next morning is so wonderful, my skin no longer looks dull and dry. I’m only hoping that as I switch up my skincare routine that this will still remain one of my favorites!

Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette

I've been reaching for this palette much more than I originally thought I would. It features neutral shades, which are great for daytime but can be layered on to create a smokey look for going out at night. And its small enough that I can throw it my purse if I need to! You can see my full review here.

Laura Mercier Lip Glace

Now that it is finally not freezing, my lips don’t need the TLC that they so often crave in the winter. Which means I can easily reach for a lipgloss, ANY lipgloss for that matter! But this glossy pink has been my go-to this past month.

Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto Rollerball

For the past couple months I have found myself reaching for the Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb rollerball every single day. But now I am finally going back to my old favorite – the YSL rollerball that I absolutely love. There is something about this scent that reminds me of summer (probably because it was all I wore last summer) and I just love it!

Caudalie Eye Cream

This month has been an incredibly busy one for work and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy it was over. I have spent many countless hours working and it has been pretty obvious in my appearance. This stuff hasn’t solved all my problems but I definitely think it’s made a difference after having one of those long nights.

Nars Creamy Concealer

Now if there is one thing I need after a long night - it's this! Not only has this helped with my random skin problems (seriously, my skin has been acting up so bad this month) but its helped conceal the dark circles under my eyes perfectly. You can read the full review here.

December Favorites

As another month comes to an end I decided to share some of my most reached for beauty items this December!

ELF Blush in Twinkie Pink & Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm in Sweetheart

These two items were definitely big surprises for me this month! I bought this ELF blush a while ago but I decided to give it a chance this month & I've grown to love it. It does contain shimmer so I usually only use it on nights out or parties which have been quite frequent this month.

The Revlon lip stain is perfect because I'm kind of like a child when it comes to lipstick as it usually gets all over me! This is the perfect in-between to a lipstick & chapstick as it has pigmentation but goes on similar to a chapstick! Perfect!

Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touche Eclat Illuminating Foundation

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

I'm usually all for light-wearing foundations in the summertime but since the winter air usually dries my skin out I've been looking for something that can keep the moisture in but providing me with decent coverage.  I have found THE ONE in this foundation. IT does everything I need, and I admit I was skeptical at first because of the price ($55!!!) but its definitely worth it. And it comes in such a wide variety of shades you are guaranteed to find the one for you!

I've praised this Origins mask before but it really does wonders on dry skin. I love the thick consistency because it really makes you feel like its doing its job...and the best part? It really does!

Urban Decay Naked Palette

 Almost everyone has this palette or at least a dupe of it...and rightfully so. It contains awesome shades for pulling off everyday looks but even shimmer so you can get the perfect smokey eye. I do have to admit though that Urban Decay shadows do contain the best pigmentation and these are hard to beat.
