My top April beauty favorites

Here are some things I have been loving in the month of April. These are 5 things that really stood out to me this month. I always like to read about other people's top favorites so I can add them to my own list. I am not sure about you, but I have a list of items on my phone that I want. Then when I am at the store I have a list to look at and I can pick up a couple things here and there. So, here is mine. I hope you like it and find some things worth trying.

1. Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Echo Park. 

I really love this color and the formula of the Ultra Satin Lips. If you have not tried the new formula you should really give it a try. They are not as long lasting as the Ultra Mattes but they are also less drying. Also you can't beat $6. This color is a warm nude that I love and I feel like I can wear it with many different looks.  https://colourpop.com/product/echo-park/

2. Milani Conceal+Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation + Concealer

Well, that is a mouthfull. This foundation is so good though. It is full coverage and honestly I actually think it does work to not only give you a great foundation, but also I do not find the need to use a concealer with it. So in that way, I guess the claims are pretty true. It is very creamy and a little thick, but it blends well and looks great. I have combination skin and it works great for me. It lasts about 8 hours on me with minimal breakdown after the 8th hour. https://milanicosmetics.com/Conceal-Perfect-2-in-1-Foundation-Concealer.html

3. Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Creme

I came across this moisturizer somewhat by accident, and I am so happy I did. It is so light and refreshing. I love gel cremes because they feel so cooling and refreshing. This one definitely locks in moisture. I have been using this everyday and I feel like my skin is moisturized and looks healthy. Remember I have pretty combination skin and I have not noticed it being too oily on my oily areas. One of the best benefits I have seen is that my skin is so much clearer. I have not changed anything else in my routine, and since using this my skin has cleared up so much. I am addicted to this product and will be repurchasing often. I cannot live without it. 

4. Marc Jacobs Poutliner Long wear Lip Pencil in Prim Rose

I have been using this non stop. This lip liner is creamy enough to put all over your lips, which is how I usually use it. Prim Rose in particular goes with so many different lip colors. You can put it with a pale nude to give the nude a bit of life or with a darker nude or pink and it matches perfectly. I just bought a backup when I run out of mine. I also love that it is a twist up pencil. I hate sharpening lip liners. On the sephora website it says the lip liner is collagen infused and gel based. It does feel very smooth and easy to slide on. I am not sure if the collagen is actually doing anything to my lips, but I guess it can't hurt right.

5. Benefit Cheekathon

I just did a blog post about this product, so I will not say too much. I will just say that I love this and during the month of April this was the only blush/bronzer I used. I love how convenient it is. I can just pull out the palette and quickly do both blush and bronzer.
