Makeup: April Favorites 2015

Here's a quick run down of my April favorites including a short review for each item. Enjoy, lovely guest!

  1. BareMinerals Complexion Rescue in Ginger: It's getting hotter here in Texas, and I do NOT want to pile on the makeup! This little gem is light and moisturizing with minimum coverage. I usually apply this with a flat top kabuki brush after moisturizing with a mixture of the Aveeno Active Naturals Smart Essentials moisturizer and the Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro Foundation Primer Liquid. This actually works for my skin type, which is oily/combo! This is perfect for everyday! (Also, I'm an NC35 in MAC)
  2. MAC Prolong Wear in NC35: My love for this is indescribable! This is perfect for everything! It's a great concealer for blemishes and under the eyes! I'm not a fan of highlighting the eyes on an everyday basis, so I often opt for a more natural look. Anyway, this stuff is GREAT because it's also a multi-purpose item! Here's a tip! Use this with a daily moisturizer with spf and your favorite primer. Tada! You got yourself your own customizable tinted moisturizer (especially if you don't want to buy the product above this!)
  3. Maybelline FitMe Matte + Poreless Powder in 220: Another great product for humid, spring/summer days! This powder truly camouflages my big pores (and I mean BIG), and it matches my skin tone!  I use this to either set my full-face makeup, or by itself (plus a concealer!)
  4. L'Oreal Infallible Makeup Setting Spray: Thank goodness that the drugstore came out with this! This setting spray really keeps everything locked in to last through an +8hr day! My only gripe about this is the price! You're halfway through to pay for an Urban Decay setting spray!
  5. Nyx Cosmetics Slide on Eye Pencil in Jet Black: Boring, I know. BUT! This is amaze-balls! Why? It actually stays on the waterline! It doesn't budge, and it's the darkest black eye-liner pencil I have seen! GIVE IT A TRY!
That's it for now, folks! I hope you enjoyed my first post! :) Please keep an eye out on the following posts, which are coming soon:
