April Favorites..

hey dolls.. sorry i haven't been posting as often as i should. i have tons of ideas on posts to write but i got a allergic reaction to some type of food and got hives all over my body & i went to the emergency.. so i've been resting :(.

anyways, on a brighter note. here are all my april faves 2 make up for all that~
(in no particular order)

1. Unite 7 seconds Detangler

This is the SH!T... after you shower, apply this to damp/wet hair and comb out. It'll make your hair feel soo soft and smell awesome! This is a leave in conditioner & it really nourishes your hair. It is around $26 but worth every penny! Not sure where to get this product.. possibly at beauty supply stores?

2. Urban decay 24/7 glide on eyeliner in ZERO

This is only the BEST eyeliner pencil out there.. duh. it actually STAYS on your waterline and applies very creamy & smooth! Also the color comes out VERY black (which i love).. i'm almost done with my pencil.. gotta go buy another one ;)

3. MAC Blush in Sunbasque

This will give you that perfect glow. It looks quite dark in the picture but just lightly sweep it on the apples of your cheeks to give you a healthy look. I always use either Sunbasque or Pink Swoon depending on my mood :). You guys have GOT to have this blush in your collection.. it looks fabulous on ANY skin tone.

4. NYX Lipgloss in CRYSTAL SODA

I'm not sure if the above image is the exact color but if you ever see NYX produts check out this lipgloss! Its a really pretty pink/gold shimmer lipgloss, its not drying, and there are tons of glitter in there (kinda like the dazzleglasses but not sticky like those!! yuck) It applies very smooth however, it's not very longlasting for me...it also smells delicious!!

5. Wet & Wild Ultimate Brow Kit!

I already did a review on this one but I'm lovin it so far~ it really defines my eyebrows & there is such a big difference if i don't define them. The powders are verrry pigmented as well. ONLY around $3-4 too!! YAY

6. MAC's eyeshadow in MULCH

I've been wearing this color almost everyday! It's an awesome neutral color with gold-ish shimmers in it. It blends very easily & is a perfect/quick color to apply all over the lip when your on the go!!

7. L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara

I haven't used drugstore mascaras for awhile but i decided to pick this up after all of the good reviews I've heard on it. It is very volumizing, lengthing, and curling all in one. I actually allmoooost like this much better than the Buxom Lash Mascara because it is much cheaper. However, the only downside to this is you need to wipe your brush on the top of the tube before you apply or else it'll get super clumpy on your lashes.

8. Urban Decay Primer Potion in EDEN

I didn't like this eye primer at first but for the past couple months, i kept using it (becuhs its the only non-creasing primer i had) and it's reali been growing on me!! I hafto use this everyday now & i can't live without it. It evens out the entire eyelid and acts like a concealer. It grabs the eyeshadow colors very well & hardly ever creases on me (& fyi, ALOT of primers crease on my eyelid) Only problem (which we all know now..) is the PACKAGING! It becomes such a mess after awhile & becomes hard to get the product out but whatever.. its what's inside that counts rite :\? haha

9. Kiehl Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

I've been using this for a couple years now & i cannot live without this remover!! It is a lotion-like consistency & truly takes all of your eye makeup off GENTLY! I rub it in all over my eyes then take a soft tissue & wipe off the dirt. Then i use my next favorite item...

10. Purity Facial Cleanser

This is the ultimate cleanser.. i believe i already mentioned this product but pretty much, it'll take off all the makeup/dirt left on your face! This is a must-have.

Anyways..sorry for the longass post but those are my favorites for this month!
What are your guys' favorite products? Please leave a comment below & tell me so I can try it out too!! I loveee monthly "favorites" reviews :)

Top 5 Lip Products

hey dolls.. so i was going to post a mini haul but i couldn't find pictures & everything for it yet so mayb i'll post that tomorrow. But for now i'll share my favorite lip products wit u all..

1. Mac's Lipstick in "Blooming Lovely" (amplified lipstick)

Lo-lo-loveee this gorgeous purple lipstick!! Tone it down with "myth" or "creme d'nude" for a more nude look. The formula is also not drying at all. I'm loving bright-ass lipsticks at the moment!!<3

2. Mac's Lipstick in "Cream Cup" (cremesheen lipstick)

You can't really tell in this picture but its actually a very pink color! Its a cremesheen formula so it's not drying either. Again, use myth or any nude color to tone it down to a light pink color if you want!

3. C.O. Bigelow Ultra Mentha lipshine

I lovee how this gives you that menthol, cooling feeling on your lips and it lasts quite awhile too... it's infused with peppermint oil and makes your lips feel refreshed! Put it over any lipstick and it'll instantly make it look super glossy and shiny.

4. Soft lips Vanilla flavor

This is an awesome chapstick! I've tried their other flavors before too but they seem way more drying than the vanilla one.. which is weird...shouldn't it be the same formula!? idk it cud just be me but i didn't like the other flavors. This has a slight cooling effect & smells delicious!

5. Mac's Cremesheen Lipgloss in "Ever So Rich"

This lipgloss is quite sheer but is still good to layer with a lipstick.. it doesn't last very long on the lips but the color is just too pretty.. its a light lavender shade.

that's all for now.. i lovee lip products & i usually carry about 5-10 in my purse but i narrowed it down to these because i've noticed i use these ones everyday!!

anyways, what are your favorite lip products?! let me know your suggestions so i can try them out too!! :)
