It’s
May!!!! That means Spring is here, right? Right?! New England seems to ignore
that memo longer ever year. We had hail/snow/sleet last week. Either way,
another month has come and gone. Here are the products I was loving during the
month of April (in no particular order):
1. e.l.f. Blushes in Candid Coral
and Twinkle Pink
For most
days in April I applied both of these blushes to the apples of my cheeks and
back up my cheek bone. First I applied Candid Coral (a light dusty peach) and
then I topped it off with Twinkle Pink (a light brighter peach). Twinkle Pink
has a hint of shimmer so it gave a highlighting effect as well. These two
colors go great together and were easy to blend. You can get e.l.f. at Target,
online and at Christmas Tree Shop (and apparently at the checkout line of my
Old Navy??). The blushes are only $3 and they are amazing!
2. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in
720 Notting Hill Nude
I can’t get
enough of this lipstick! It was one of my February Favorites. It is a great everyday color
to wear—a nude with a very slight orange undertone—and goes with whatever makeup you put on. It
applies smoothly and leaves a bit of a shine to the lips. It wears pretty well
and is easy to reapply. I recently took this lipstick out of my everyday makeup
drawer so that I would use some of the other lip products I have. I miss it…
3. Revlon Super Lustrous Liptick in
463 Sassy Mauve
The other
lip color I couldn’t get enough off was this nude mauve color from Revlon. It
is a crème formula so it is very smooth on the lips and easy to reapply. I
don’t like overly pigmented lip products—this is pigmented (you only need one
coat), but does not feel heavy on the lips. I also put this lipstick away so
that I would start wearing some more spring-like colors. The Super Lustrous
line is a very popular line from Revlon that has been around forever and there
are a kajillion shades.
I got this
for Christmas in a Josie Maran kit. It’s kind of a weird concept for an eye
color. The pigment is mixed with coconut water, but you have to shake the
product up for a bit because the pigment and coconut water separate. You can
then apply the product with the dough foot applicator, your finger or a brush.
I put use the brush to put a dab on my eyelid and then blend with my finger. It
is a beautiful bronze-rose gold color. When I wear this I typically only use
this one color. I concentrate the pigment on my lids and then blend the color
up into the crease. The color has enough dimension that it doesn’t look flat or
like you are only wearing one color. It has good staying power as well, and I
don’t even apply a primer when I wear this.
In April,
my face seemed to hate any foundation except my MAC foundation. I’ve fully
reviewed this foundation in my Beauty Battle of Full Coverage Foundations so I won’t ramble on
here. Easy to apply and blend (with a sponge) and provides very full coverage.
That’s my
five! What products did you love during the month of March? Let me know! You
