March Favorites 2014

HELLO APRIL! 

April is one of my favorite months! Spring break. Easter. My BFFs birthday. And not to mention the warmer weather! The whole month is just jam packed with awesomeness. 

Here's what I loved in March! 

Ice Breakers Frost [wintercool]: These mints are so yummy and just the like box says, 'powerful'. They have a dusty/minty covering and once you break through that it's BAM... mint. 

City Color Be Matte Blush [fresh melon]: This is my favorite blush of the moment. I used it in this post. It's very subtle but build-able if you want a more dramatic cheek. It's a perfect Spring shade. Thank you to my friend Harmony for giving me this blush! 

Mary Kay@Play LipGloss [violet vixen]- I saw this on instagram and fell in love. My friend Jennifer hooked me up and I love it. It's a little more sheer than the packaging. It has long lasting power and can be a great first pink shade for someone who wants to venture into a brighter gloss. 

BabyLips [pink punch]- Have you noticed a pink theme? BabyLips are great for moisture and a hint of color. This has been my everyday go-to pink shade. Plus... it smells so good. 

Forever21 Sunglasses [gold/blue]- I have been on the hunt for these sunglasses and I finally got my hands on them! I love them so much! For $5.80... you really can't go wrong. I think I will buy a couple pairs as back ups. I am bound to break them somehow. 

Real Techniques [stippling brush]- I have fallen in love with this brush again. I use it with my concealer and I just rub in circular motion until the concealer is blended. I have been using it with my next favorite... 

L'Oreal True Match Crayon Concealer [light/medium-neutral]- This has become one of my favorite under eye concealers. I draw a big triangle with it under my eyes and use the stippling brush to blend it in. I am in need of a new one... I have hit rock bottom with the one I have. The concealer with the stippling brush are just one great concealing team. 

^ Unique Sweets on the Cooking Channel has become one of my guilty pleasures. I can't even eat any of the recipes that they show but it's still fun to see how they are made. 

Alie & Georgia are hilarious [as always]. I love that there is comedy and amazing sweets combined in this show. ^

Favorite Drugstore Brand

The drugstore really has some excellent options for makeup and beauty products. If I were to pick one brand to use exclusively, Maybelline wins!  [I did go back and forth between Revlon & Maybelline. Mascaras were the deciding factor.]

Here's what I love from Maybelline. 

Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer: This is one of my favorite under-eye concealers. It's moisturizing, doesn't crease, and covers up my tiredness. 

SuperStay 24 Hour Foundation [pure beige]: I have re-purchased this foundation 3 times and it does not disappoint. The color is a perfect match and it really does last 24 hours!

Maybelline Master Glaze Glisten Blush Stick  [pink fever]: One of the best cream blush sticks I have used. Pretty pigment and long lasting color. 

Eye Studio Color Tattoo [bad to the bronze]: Eyeshadow in a flash is what I like to call this. Swipe some on your eyelid and you're good to go. No creasing and tons of pigment. 

Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad [designer chocolates]: A great basic eyeshadow quad to create so many different looks. This is a mush have! 

Eye Studio Lasting Gel Liner  [blackest black]: When I know I am going to be out & about and need an all day liner, this is the one I go for. Easy to apply and doesn't melt throughout the day. 

Great Lash Clear Mascara: This is a great eyebrow setting gel. It's not flakey and will keep your eyebrows tamed all day.

The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara [blackest black] Both The Falsies and Falsies Big Eyes are excellent mascaras. 

Color Whisper LipColor [coral ambition]: Lasting color and moisture, I have a few color whispers and love them all but coral ambition is my fav. 

BabyLips & BabyLips Dr. Rescue: These are perfect for in your purse/pocket lip balms. Gorgeous color stain and moisture in super cute packaging. Dr. Rescue has a menthol scent to it that I don't really like but it doesn't last long. 

Clean Express Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover: A gentle eye makeup remover is a must and maybelline makes a great one.
