My April Beauty Favorites


I wanna go ahead and do my beauty favorites for the month of April because I'm excited to show you these amazing products!!!
I'm not sponsored by any of these companies, and I did buy these products with my own money.

Also, I just want to say that my giveaway is CLOSED. The winner will be announced on April 25th.

If you want to find out what my favorite products are... please keep reading :)

What are my favvvvv/go to products?!

So I only have 5 this month because I've been really trying to use tons of different products, so I can review a lot for you guys & let you know what I think.

I'm also going to include the link to and price of each product in case you're wanting to purchase it.

#5. Smashbox Primer Water
This primer is one of my absolute favorites. I have combination oily skin, so it's really hard finding products that help both my oily and dry skin spots. THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING for that. It isn't oily, so it doesn't make my oily spots look dewy and it doesn't completely dry out my dry spots. It also has an amazing, refreshing smell that totally wakes me up during the day. Also, I usually spray this 3 times on my face, and that's all it takes. I hate using products that I have to cake on my face, and that is not this product whatsoever. 
I know a lot of people don't want to spend $30 on a "bottle of water" and that's totally okay, whatever works for you has & will always be my motto. I just went and splurged, and it worked out because I love this product.

Price: $32


#4. Lorac Dazzing Dozen 2 Eye Shadow Collection
I'm freaking obsessed with two of these colors. I've been wearing them like basically every day this month. The two colors I'm in love with are Gilded and Acai. Acai reminds me of a matte dark cranberry color. It's beautiful. And Gilded is a shimmery gold color. Here are swatches:
These eyeshadows are so super pigmented. I have wore them with and without primer and literally cannot tell the difference, other than whenever I don't wear primer there is more fallout whenever I am putting them on. OTHER THAN THAT they're perfect, and I love them. 
This collection is exclusively for Ulta, and there are 12 eyeshadows in this set.

Price: $39


#3 Beauty Blender - Original
Okay, so I know just last month I posted my March Beauty Favorites, but I couldn't resist the temptation. I went and got myself a beauty blender because so many people told me that it was the bomb.com!
I must say, they are SO much better than the blending sponges I've been getting from Dollar General. After using my beauty blender for a couple days, I tried to go back to using the Dollar General brand one, and it actually felt really rough. It has no bounce to it, either. The Beauty Blender is soft, it doesn't absorb any makeup, and it is bouncy, like it does all the work for me. I love it. It's a smart investment if you like sponges better than brushes.
It's quite pricey, but if you don't mind, I'd recommend this to you.

Price: $19.95


#2 Nyx Butter Lipstick - Gumdrop
This lipstick is INEXPENSIVE. It doesn't dry my lips out like most lipsticks, it's almost like it's moisturizing. And Gumdrop is hands down one of my most favorite shades of lipstick EVER. I literally throw this on whenever I just want a little lip color.
I did a lip look with this shade and another butter lipstick shade as well. If you wanna read that blog, click here.
I'm telling you guys, these Butter Lipsticks are HANDS DOWN my favorite line of lipsticks right now.

Price: $5.99


#1 Clinique Airbrush Concealer Illuminates
Guys. 
This is my MOST FAVORITE product right now. 
When I got this, I had actually planned on getting their 2-in-1 foundation/concealer duo and they didn't have a shade that was light enough for my under eye circles.
I love a good concealer anyway, because I have bad under eye circles and this hides it soooo well. I use the lightest shade - fair because I like for my under eyes to be a bit lighter than the rest of my face. 
I just wanna talk about the way to use it. Basically you twist the bottom and it squirts some into the brush on top, and then you just wipe it on your face. It's no mess. You don't even have to stick your fingers in it or anything, or dump it on the back of your hand. 
Hands down my favorite right now.
Clinique, yall are on POINT. I love it.

Price: $20
