Hello all, and welcome to my April favorites!

This month I've been going out more and being more social (because I am massively anti-social). It was also the Sephora VIB sale and I've just seemed to purchase more products this month.

Nivea Men Post Shave Balm - I've had this for a few months now but I've really been using it this month. I love this product as it practically glues my makeup to my face (not literally though). My makeup throughout the day doesn't move or get patchy, and for $5 you can't ask for more. (Side note: it also has a man scent - which is quite nice when you're single AF hahaha)

Too Faced Sweethearts Bronzer in Sweet Tea - I have never really been one for bronzer. I'm all about contour but bronzers tend to scare me. I'm always afraid I will look like an oompa loompa. I figured this shade was light enough that it would warm up my ghastly skin tone without turning me orange - and I was right! I have been reaching for this product more than any of my contour specific products. There is some shimmer in it but when I apply it I don't notice it at all.

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Inner Rim Liner in Nude - I saw this product used in a youtube video so I thought I would try it out. I've never been one for black liner on my water line. It makes my eyes look pretty small. Although I have used black liner a couple times for nights out. This was right up my alley. I found that white liner was too start with my eye looks. This brightens and opens up my eyes without it looking as noticeable as a white liner.

Tarte Double Duty Beauty The Lip Sculptor Double Ended Lipstick & Gloss in Basic - I have a love hate relationship with this product, and you can probably guess why. If you guessed that I only liked one of the ends of this product, you guessed right! I love the lipstick. It is very hydrating and the color is my perfect nude. My only gripe with the lipstick is that it doesn't last a long time. I'm not one to reapply during the day so the good part about it wearing off is that it doesn't wear off patchy. I'll just notice it's gone at some point after looking in the mirror. I do not like the gloss however. I'm not one for gloss. I don't think glossy lip products look good on me. If I put it on over the lipstick (because I did try), it takes off the lipstick and then just looks patchy. Maybe I don't know how to wear gloss but it just doesn't work for me.

Japonesque Color Velvet Touch Blush in Shade 2 - When I first saw this product, I had my doubts. But this blush was recommended in one of MannyMUA's videos, so I told myself to try it. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did. I've only ever used pink toned blushes, which is why I was hesitant with this one. I wasn't even sure if this would show up on my skin. But once I applied it - OH MY GOD. It is the blush I reach for all the time. I have barely touched any of my other blushes since I've purchased it. It gives the perfect flush to the cheeks and you don't have to worry about looking like a clown because it's such a nude toned color.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish  in Soft & Gentle - Now this is probably no surprise to anyone and in fact you're probably saying "ummm tell us something we don't know." I know I'm late to the band wagon but I just started venturing into MAC products. I am in love with this highlight quite frankly. Although I am practically in love with every highlight (it may be my obsession). This is my everyday highlight. I don't have to worry about going overboard. But at the same time, I can build this up for a killer highlight on a night out. Perfection, just perfection.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium - I saw Jaclyn Hill using MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, so I bought MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. I'm usually one that sticks to transluscent powders but I thought I would trust in the beauty knowledge of a makeup artist and give it a shot. And now I don't use anything else. I was afraid it would make my skin look cake-y because it has color to it, but it doesn't. It makes my skin look flawless. (PS - 10 pts to gryffindor if you caught the mean girls reference)

MAC Eye Shadow in Nylon - Yet another Jaclyn Hill recommendation. Jaclyn knows what she's talking about. This is the best inner corner highlight and brow bone highlight. None of the other shadows or even actual highlights I have compare. The end.

So there you have it - the products I've been loving through the month of April! What have you been loving over the past month?

XOXO
