April is over so it’s time for a new favorites post! Get EXCITED!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters in Peach Parfait, Wild Watermelon, Sorbet, and Juicy Papaya – If you follow me on Instagram you’ve seen my swatches of these and I adore them; they are so lightweight and easy and perfect for the daytime when you don’t wan such a bold lipcolor that a lipstick would provide. My current favorite is Juicy Papaya; it’s the perfect soft coraly pink for spring.

Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner and
Maybelline the Rocket Volum’ Express Mascara

Maybelline the Rocket Volum’ Express – this mascara makes my eyes stand up and say “HELLO!!” and I absolutely love it. I also find this mascara clumps less than some others I own. I’ve read around the internet that some people have problems with this mascara clumping but I only use 1-2 coats max and I have had no problems with it.
Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner – This month my face completely revolted against the makeup wipes I was using (sad face) so I had to find something to help me out ASAP. I have been toying with the idea of trying out Bioderma but international pricing and shipping is a little crazy right now, so I found this alleged dupe (I can’t confirm or deny this because I’ve never tried Bioderma!) and I love it and my skin seems to be loving it as well. It’ super gentle and I use it to take off my makeup before following up with the Clarisonic at night.

Milani Baked Blushes in Rose d’Oro and Corallina

Milani Baked Blushes in Rose d’Oro and Corallina – I picked these up after I was not quite impressed with the shade of blush I got from the In Extra Dimension collection by MAC and I am so in love. I found that Blazing Haute was not pink enough for my skintone and I was in need of another blush so I picked up two of these at CVS when they were BOGO 50% off. Rose d’Oro is my favorite shade for work and Coralina shines on the weekends! I will say that these are super pigmented so make sure you blend the color out if you’re not looking for a huge blush swatch on your face.

SHANY Cosmetics The Masterpiece 7 Layers All-in-One Makeup Set

SHANY COSMETICS The Masterpiece 7 Layers All-in-One Makeup Set – I have been loving this set since I got it a few weeks ago. I will not be going into too much detail because I will devote a whole post (or maybe a couple!) to this product. It has 7 layers, four sheets of eyeshadows, one sheet of concealers, one sheet of lipsticks, and one sheet of blushes. The pigmentation on the eyeshadows is beautiful and they stay on your lid all day long! The eyeshadows are a mix of mattes and shimmers so there’s something for everyone; especially if you’re new to makeup or want to experiment with color (like me!).
