March Favorites | 2015

Can you believe it's April already? I have no words to describe how great March was for me. Well ok, let me try. Amazing. Incredible. Life changing. Between my brother turing 24, getting planted at my church even more, seeing a friend perform her music and poetry, nights out downtown with my bff, and weekends spent with friends. March was the best! 

Also, something happened in March that I didn't expect. I decide that I am no longer going to move to Texas. God continues to say, "root yourself" to me over and over. It has been confirmed by an overwhelming sense of peace and by that word "root" showing up everywhere. I am so excited for God to keep moving in my life! It just goes to show that the more faith you put in Him, the more He can move in you [without actually having to move you]. With all of that being said, here's what I loved in March! 

Maybelline Master Conceal [30 light/medium]: I have been using this more as a brightener under my eyes and I like the effect it gives. I do notice that I do have to blend quite a bit to avoid any creasing though.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless: I have a love/hate relationship with this foundation. Sometimes I find that it dries me out and is too matte. Other times I get super oily. The reason it's in my favorites is because of the coverage, it gives amazing coverage! 

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads: Adding these to my skincare routine has added an extra boost of daily exfoliation and toning. They are very gentle and help to remove the excess makeup and dirt from the day. Using this in combination with the serum has helped my skin so much!

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Serum: This serum has been a game changer for my skin. I have been using it for over a month now and have notice my skin getting brighter and scars fading. It's on the pricey side but it's worth it! I have used 2 drops on my face each night for more than a month and have about 1/4 of the bottle still left! A little goes a long way! 

Gap So Pink: One of my go-to Spring scents. I love the floral and citrus notes, it's subtle and not overwhelming. 

Milani Baked Blush [Rose D'Oro]: This color is so gorgeous! I always find myself picking up a new milani baked blush when the seasons change. This is a perfect coral/pink that can be your everyday Spring shade. 

Essie Maximillian Strasse Her: I am aware that this was in my January favorites but it's just too good and I wore it a lot in March. I had to mention it again. This is a must have polish for any Essie fanatic out there! It is the perfect combination of a cool green and grey. Although sometimes on my skin it looks more blue. Whenever I have this on I always get people asking about the color!

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner [Eastend Snob]: This is a great lip liner that is a 'your lips but way way better' shade. For $4.99, you need this in your purse!

Sunday night movie nights are becoming a tradition! It might take us 4 best friends 30 minutes or more to decide what to watch but that is a part of the fun! 

What were some of your March favorites? 

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. ^
