Monthly Favorites: April

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to another Monthly Favorites! This year is flying by! I've got a good group of things to talk about this month so let's jump right in! As always I will link to what I can below.

Here we go!

Favorite Candle: Garden Rain by Mainstays (Walmart Brand)

I'm sure you all have seen this in a favorites before. If not, then you've definitely heard about my obsession with this candle! The Walmart in my area was recently re-done so the candle section was pretty sad for a while. Last time I was in the aisle was completely restocked! (Queue angels singing) So snagged up two more candles and some wax cubes in this scent. I typically burn this candle downstairs on the bar in my kitchen. It's a very clean scent. It's not too over powering but it is strong enough to notice when you walk into the room. If you're into rain/water scents then you will love this!

Favorite Drink: Iced Caramel Macchiato

Delicious! Because it is starting to get warmer in my neck of the woods I have been enjoying iced coffees in the afternoons. Especially on the days when I'm feeling a big sluggish or have a busy afternoon at work ahead of me. These are the perfect pick me up! 

Favorite Perfume: Loveswept by Philosophy

This is the only fragrance I own from Philosophy. I randomly gave this a whiff in Ulta and I really enjoyed it! It's one of those fragrances that almost seems like you're not wearing a perfume but you just smell GOOD. I usually wear this during the day or when I am going to work. Yes, folks I wear perfume at work. Not a ton but just enough to smell nice.

Eyeshadow/Palette: L'Oreal Cuppa Joe Quad

I've had this little guy for quite some time now. It's such an easy palette to use. All of the shadows are matte and easy to blend. If you're in the market for a good, affordable, neutral, matte shadow quad then give this a try. I've taken this on so many trips and vacations because it's compact but it packs enough of a punch for you to get a nice eye look out of it.

Blush: Makeup Revolution "Make Love Instead" Baked Blush

This blush is gorgeous!!! It leaves the prettiest sheen to the skin. It can be applied lightly for a touch of color or built up to a very noticeable cheek. I am so impressed by this line thus far. It's only carried at Ulta as far as I know and it is VERY affordable! When wearing this blush I don't have to use a seperate high lighter because this is shimmery enough on its own. I love this blush!

Lipstick: NYX Butter Lipstick in "Pops"

You guys know I love a brownish aka 90's kind of lip. I love it so much that I haven't stopped wearing this kind of shade since the 90's! This lipstick is very comfortable on the lips. Because of the "butter" formula it's very creamy and has a nice sheen to it. I've worn this alone and with a darker lip liner and it's just a beautiful color. It goes with pretty much any neutral eye and looks pretty if you just have mascara on.

Lip Treatment/Chapstick: Blistex Soft and Lush Chaptstick

I'mpretty sure this is a repeat favorite too. I buy these things likely they're going out of style! I have one in my purse, one in the beauty room, one by the couch, one at work! You get it, these things are EVERYWHERE! The smell is awesome! It smells like the most delicious vanilla cupcake you've ever smelled! Plus it really moisturizer cracked lips well. I started using this in the winter when my lower lip was cracked and it healed it up within a couple of days.

Face Wash: Complexion Perfection by Perfectly Posh

Don't say you didn't see this one coming! I posted a video recently about my Skincare Update and I talked about this and the next 2 favorites in it. This stuff has changed my skin! It's so smooth now and my skin tone is much more even. It feels so good on my skin because of the peppermint oil in it. I look forward to using this stuff every day!

Facial Moisturizer: Moisturize 911 by Perfectly Posh

I swear to you guys that I'm not just plugging Posh because I'm an independent consultant now! I loved these products before I signed up. They're just SO GOOD! I use this product morning and night. It gives the perfect amount of moisture to my skin. It doesn't make me oily during the day and it really hydrates at night. I haven't touched another lotion since I started using this because I love it so much!

Eye Treatment: Impish Eyes by Perfectly Posh

Ok, last Posh product for today! Another thing I can't live without. I have really puffy under eyes and this de-puffs them like no other! Seriously, it's like magic in a tube. If you try one thing from Posh I would definitely give this a try. Especially if you have puffy undereyes, like me.

Body Wash: Caress Evenly Gorgeous

I got this a while back when it was on sale at Walgreens. It smells SO GOOD! It's super scrubby too! If you like caramel, brown sugar type scents you will love this body scrub. I use this pretty much every day (as you can tell by how much I've used in the photo) It really helps get rid of that itchy dry skin feeling. Even Mr uses this!

Random: Apple Watch

Never in a million years did I think I'd own one of these but I do and I love it! It's especially helpful at work because it will alert me when I get a text. I can even reply from the watch so it's very convienent. Another thing I really enjoy is that when my phone dies I can still do what I need to do from the watch till my phone charges up. Apple products just own my life!

Well you all, these are all of my favorites for the month of April. I hope that you all enjoyed this post. What have been some of your favorite products this month?

Until next time...

Xoxo,
