April Favorites


I thought I would kick start my blog with something easy, a favorites post! I hope you guys enjoy and make sure to leave a comment letting me know your favorites. Any questions/concerns go ahead and leave a comment!

BEAUTY FAVORITES
Garnier Frutis Style Anti-Humidity Hairspray - Sleek & Shine
This hairspray is great because it doesn't leave your hair chunky and this particular one helps with shine. I love the entire Sleek & Shine line though!
Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo
I haven't tried a lot of dry shampoos but this one smells amazing and it works better than baby powder lol. I will be exploring more brands but I do really like this one!
Garnier Moisture Rescue Day/Night Gel-Cream for Normal/Combo Skin
Last month I was looking for a light weight moisturizer for the summer time and this little miracle caught my eye! It not only is light weight but since it's a gel cream it feels super cooling on the skin!
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream - Light/Medium
This BB cream gives a good amount of coverage for just being a BB cream and it is super light weight!
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer
Love this primer! It has a nice silicone feel and if my skin is looking okay, I can get away with just wearing this. This along with the BB cream has been like a dynamic duo, I love these two together.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - 001 Transparent
To set any foundation I am wearing I use this. Not only is this powder on $3.99 but it is a high quality powder! It keeps your face matte without looking caked up!
Maybelline The Rocket / Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara - Black & Waterproof
I couldn't decide which one to include so I decided to pick both! These are amazing on their own AND together. The Clump Crusher is an amazing mascara to use on the bottom lashes and The Rocket adds volume and length!
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
This has been my go to palette for dramatic eye looks and also if I just want one shade for a highlight or crease color. The swatches below are the 4 shadows I use the most and that I love! Bootycall I use for all over the lid and inner-corner. Foxy is a great brow bone highlight. Chopper and YDK look beautiful all over the eye as just one sweep of color! 

 NYX Butter Glosses - Apple Strudel & Vanilla Cream Pie
I hate to admit that these are the only two I own of these lip glosses because I LOVE THEM. I can wear them alone or on top of pinks and nudes. I need to go get more ASAP. (swatches below)

 Baby Lips - 25 Pink Punch / 30 Peach Kiss / 05 Quenched
I have a lot more than these 3 but these are the ones I wear the most. There isn't much to say about these except that I love them and you need them in your life.
3 Favorite Lipsticks
These are the lipsticks I have been wearing the most this month. All pigmented, all moisturizing, all beautiful! (swatches below)
Revlon Super Lustrous - 460 Blushing Mauve 
Lime Crime - Babette
E.L.F - Rosy-Go-Round

 Maybelline Elixr - 060 Nude Illusion & 100 Petal Plush
Again, I am ashamed to say that I only own 2 of these but these liquid lipsticks are the best things to happen to the drugstore! I love mixing these together! They are just beautiful! (swatches below)

 E.L.F Contouring & Blush Duo
The bronzer in this duo is a little dark for me but I am in love with the blush. I wish they sold it separately because I always end up wasting the bronzer ): Or I just need a tan haha. (swatches below)

Victoria's Secret Body Mist - Pure Seduction
I forgot how much I LOVE this scent, I got this with one of their deals and I wear it everyday! Go to VS now and smell it for yourself!
RANDOM FAVORITES
Bath & Body Works Hawaiian Hibiscus Candle
This is one of their summer or spring scents (not sure which) but oh my gosh this smells soooooooooo good. It is fresh and fruity and floraly all at the same time!
 Mophie Helium Charging Case
I have only had this for a few days but I already love it. I have already put it to good use! If anyone would like a more in depth review and how much I paid etc., then let me know in the comments!
 Favorite Apps - 2048 & Ballpark Empire
I thought it would be cool to include my favorite apps of the month and this month they happen to be games! 2048 is a fun "waiting room" game because it doesn't need internet and you can leave and come back to it how ever many times you want. It really passes the time! Ballpark Empire is one those "tycoon-ish" games. If you love baseball, then this is the game for you! You can choose your favorite team and play actual seasons and build your ballpark to match your teams actual ballpark! I have an unhealthy addiction so be prepared haha.

Favorite Quote
I actually tweeted this quote and was pretty proud of myself for coming up with it because I feel strongly about this quote and it's meaning.

Favorite Song/Album
I probably won't have a favorite album every month but I really have been loving the Born Sinner album by J. Cole. It is a Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B album. My favorite song is The Language from the NWTS album by Drake.
