April was a month filled with a bunch of beauty favorites. I have been shopping my stash lately so it has been a month that I have rediscovered old friends and had fun using them again after putting them aside for so long. The thing about blogging about beauty products is that I tend to get so excited about the new stuff, sometimes I forget all about the things and products that I enjoyed in the past so it is so nice to rediscover them again.
This month I had a mix of Beauty and Foodie Favorites. My video was so long as it is that I forgot to also talk about my favorite music or songs that I have been listening to or movies I have been watching, but I’ll try to list those at the bottom of this post. Ultimately – while I did include many new products in last month’s favorites, there are also many older ones that I’m excited to be picking out this time around.
So – check out what made my April Beauty Favorites and Foodie Loves in the video embedded below or watch it directly on YouTube here. I did list them as well if you are interested in getting a brief run down. Not all photos of each product are listed on the image.
My favorites for the month of April included:
- Snap Pea Crisps – These snacks are addicting and delicious. My family enjoys them and we have been reaching for them pretty often over the course of the last few months.
- Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai berries – I am not a HUGE chocolate fan, but I’m certainly fond of it and the first time I tried this yummy goodie, I was completely hooked. It’s delicious, satisfies that little chocolate craving I have from time to time and we all enjoy it in our house.
- Pacifica Coconut Nectar Body Butter – Pacifica Body Butters are some of my favorites and I am a frequent buyer of this brand. I seriously love the scent of coconut and this smells yummy.
- Aquolina Pink Sugar EDT – It’s no secret I’m an addict when it comes to sugary scents… and this is at the top of the list.
- E35 Tapered Blending Brush by Sigma Beauty – I’ve been a fan of Sigma brushes for a while and this one is probably one of my favorites!
- E71 Highlight Diffuser Brush by Sigma Beauty – This brush really applies my browbone highlight nice and I enjoy using it.
- E39 Buff and Blend Brush by Sigma Beauty – An all around brush that is great for blending. I use it on my eyes as well as to contour.
- MAC Eye Shadows – including Antiqued, Bronzed, Brun (a few old favorites) – I have been a huge fan of MAC shadows for years and I have been pulling at these a lot lately over the last month.
- Chela Dazzling Dark Brown Eye Pencil (brows) – I really wasn’t a huge fan of this pencil when I first received it so it sat in my makeup stash for a few months, but it’s slowly growing on me.
- NYC Liquid Liner (an old favorite) – no explanation needed, I have been a fan of this liner for years and find myself consistently going back for more.
- NYC HD Liquid Eyeliner – a new favorite to my liner collection. This liner applies smoothly and is quick for a on-the-go liner.
- Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Liner in Black Velvet – I love Perversion and Zero, but have really enjoyed using this one. It is not as black as the others which I like for every day looks or to make my lashes look thicker.
- Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Waterproof Mascara – I decided to pick up this mascara after seeing all my blogger buddies pick it up. I picked up the waterproof version and so far I’m liking it. I’m still in the testing stages – but a review, coming soon.
- Covergirl TruMagic Sunkisser Cream Bronzer – I was on the hunt for a cream bronzer and I was able to test the texture of this and loved it. It’s great for every day or to bump it up – I top it with my favorite powder bronzer.
- Milani Warm Petals Rose Powder Blush – This product will be mentioned many times over the next few months I’m sure. It was a favorite of mine all summer last year and even after heavy use, I barely put a dent in it.
- MAC Sunbasque Sheer tone blush – One of my all time Holy Grail blushes… nuff said!
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette – I’m so glad I decided to invest in this palette. Radiant is my favorite but I love them all… they feel great on my skin and I love the glow they provide. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Diffused Light.
- NYX Sunkissed Radiant Face Powder – I discussed this in a recent post and how much I adore it. Seriously for the price you get a great product that offers such a gorgeous glow to your skin. Seriously – this will continue to be a favorite of mine.
- Perfekt Beauty Lash Perfection Gel – I tried this mascara for the first time about a year ago and I’ve been hooked since. It is definitely one of my favorites and I have already purchased several tubes to replace.
- Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Naked – I got this mini in one of my Sephora Give Me More Lip and I have seriously been loving it. No sticky-icky on the lips and it’s a really nice nude shade.
- MAC Lip Glass in Viva Glam VI – I really loved this Viva Glam VI collection since I got my hands on it. I mentioned in my video that they are hard to find, but I can order them online, my local MAC counter just hasn’t had them in stock.
- MAC Lip Glass in Nymphette – this has been a favorite of mine for years… and I know I will continue to pick it up when my tubes are empty.
So those were my Beauty and Foodie favorites for the month of April. I know this entire summer will be about shopping my stash and rediscovering products I loved but neglected over the last year. Did you have a long list of favorites this month? Any of the products on my list made your favorites too?
