Before I even begin I want to say that my March Favorites are still my favorites in April, so take a look at that post if you want to be enabled even further. The roundup I’m sharing today consists of products I discovered or re-discovered in April, so this is more of an addition to my March list rather than a replacement. I suppose that explains why there are fewer products, too 🙂
SKINCARE:
Finishing up skincare I love is my ultimate goal, because as a blogger I tend to neglect my favorites in lieu of testing the newest products I receive from companies. In April I discovered a new drugstore must have as well as re-discovered a hand cream that I adore, and yet it was found in the very back of one of my IKEA ALEX drawers.
Words cannot describe how in love I am with the new PIXI Hydrating Milky Mist [$15, available here] right now. It was released very recently as addition to the brand’s existing lineup of beauty sprays [Glow Mist and Makeup Fixing Mist]. This mist feels like a liquid lotion that hydrates and refreshes the skin without making it all sticky – a perfect solution for very hot days when a moisturizer is just too much. The consistency reminds me of a much more expensive Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist, which I like for the same reasons. Full review coming soon!
I purchased La Mer The Hand Treatment [$85, available here] on a friend’s recommendation and didn’t regret that purchase one bit. It’s pricey no doubt, but every time I use it my hands simply look amazing and feel oh so soft. Honestly, I don’t feel an ounce of guilt for buying expensive beauty products! While many of my friends spend their tax return on designer clothes, shoes, and bags, I prefer to use mine on skincare and makeup, because they make me just as happy 🙂
MAKEUP:
MAC Otherearthly Mineralize Skinfinish [$32, available here] was the standout in the Future MAC collection, and I just had to have it. The finish is absolutely gorgeous! I love that I can customize the final shade to my liking and make it look more bronzey or more pink depending on the look I’m going for. Review coming soon!
I shared my love for Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup [$40, available here] a couple days ago, and I want to bring it up again. This foundation is amazing! I love how weightless and airy is feels on the skin, and it really does stay all day.
One day I was looking for a bronzer to use and stumbled upon Vita Liberata Trystal Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals [$55, available here]. I remember using it briefly and then putting it away, creating an unintentional out of sight – out of mind situation. Today it’s sitting proudly on my vanity table, reminding me to use it daily. The finish looks incredibly natural even on fair skin!
HAIRCARE:
Only one haircare product to share with you this month, but it’s a good one! How many of you use scalp exfoliators? I remember using and loving one from Aveda, and now Madam C. J. Walker Beauty Culture Wonderful Scalp Exfoliator [$32, available here] is my new favorite. It makes the scalp feel fresh, giving extra volume to the roots. It almost feels like opening all windows in a stuffy room.
