April Favorites

I wanted to share with you my favorite, most used products during the month of April. I didn’t even realize this until I started taking pictures, but it apparently was also the month of Too Faced products!

UrbanDecay Naked 3 Palette. This has gotten a lot of love this month. I have been using a single shimmery shadow at a time, over the lid, for day looks. I have reviewed this palette here. 

Too Faced The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette. I have had this since it first came out and I have found myself using it a lot this month. It really is a treat to use! The packaging is so cute and when you open it you get a huge whiff of cocoa. I love the assortment and amount of colors this palette has to offer. There are 16 shades; including 2 highlight shades, neutral browns and gold, purples, and a pink shade. This palette has a good balance of mattes and shimmers. The shadows are pigmented, blend easily, and have minimal fallout. This would be a great palette for beginners or people who don’t have a lot of eyeshadow. 

MAC Teddy Eye Kohl. This pencil liner is one of my favorite brown eyeliners. It’s a rich brown with gold glitter. I have been using this by itself with just mascara. It has a bit of depth to it and is also perfect to use for a smoky eye. It’s very flattering no matter how you wear it. 

Clinique ‘Peach Pop’ Blush Pop. I have been using this blush a ton, it’s absolutely gorgeous and so pigmented. I love the way it brightens up my face and sculpts my cheekbones. I have used my Lancôme Cheek Brush and Sephora Pro Airbrush Blush Brush # 54 (reviewed here) to apply it. I reviewed the blush here.

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. This is the lighter version of the original Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. This bronzer is a light brown matte made with real cocoa powder. It is soft and easy to blend. You can use it for contouring, to add warmth all over the face, and I also like to use this as an eyeshadow. It does not pull orange at all and looks very natural. If you’ve never used bronzer before, this would be great to use because it’s subtle and easy to work with.

Benefit Rockateur Cheek Powder. This gorgeous rose gold cheek color doubles as a blush and a highlighter. It has a fine shimmer and is just so pretty when the light hits. It gives you such a beautiful glow. This is a pretty complex color; it has a bit of peachiness to it. I love to use this as a blush when I use my Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette and as a highlighter at night. They tie in together well. It also smells really good!

Too Faced Shadow Insurance eyeshadow primer. This primer is easy to swipe over the lid and makes my eyeshadow last all day long. It’s thin and glides easily. I love that it also makes eyeshadow colors more intense.
