April Favorites


This month went by so quickly. It was a busy month. The big change I noticed this month is that my skin began breaking out. A lot. I have been paying extra attention to my skincare routine at night to help calm and prevent future breakouts. I used the Origins Super Spot Remover pretty religiously this past month. I kept to the same skincare routine and addition to that I added the spot treatment. I have recently discovered a new blemish treatment which I will review soon but in April I was all about the Origins one. It's a gel treatment that doesn't feel like it dries out my skin. It isn't over-night effective for me but I do think it helps speed up the process to clear skin.

On my lips I have been keeping the EOS Lip Balm in Honey Dew always close by. I finished the EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruit last year and holy crap these smell so amazing. I am absolutely obsessed with these lip balms. Another lip product I have been loving is the Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Fuschia-Ristic. This is a gorgeous sheer red-coral color. These rank high on my All-time favorite lip product list. Seriously they are super easy to apply, they twist up and the stick retains a good shape, the colors are sheer but also buildable to be pretty vibrant and they are really glossy and beautiful without being sticky! I also have the shade Nudist and Sephora only carries one other shade, a more plum color, which I have a feeling will end up being mine pretty soon.

On my face I have been loving Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. Any time I have an event or I know I will be photographed I go for this foundation. It gives your skin nice coverage and makes your face look really healthy and smooth! It has no SPF so it's really amazing for photos. Another face product I have been using every single day is the Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium. The color is amazing for my skin tone. It's made for every single skin tone but for me it's great because it's an ashy-brown with no shimmer and looks very natural as a shadow or contour on the face. I love it and the packaging is small and compact!

Finally this month I found myself using facial wipes quite a bit. They feel great right before and after a workout and they felt amazing this month to use when you're on the plane. I've been using the Simple Radiance Cleansing Wipes and they feel gentle and just are great to use! Note: I don't really use this as just a makeup remover because I also use my Bioderma and then wash my face after with a cleanser as well.

Current Favorite Base


My two favorite combination products for a perfect base lately has to be the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer with Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. These two are so beautiful and seriously make your skin look like its super flawless. The Hourglass primer is very velvety and feels more liquidy than most primers I've tried. It has SPF 15 which is great because the Armani Luminous Silk doens't have any SPF. The primer is amazing. It's mineral-based, reduces shine, creates a smooth canvas and water-resistant! I got the small travel size (still a little pricey) because most days I don't use primers but some days your face is just lacking that glow or needs a little something extra and especially if you know you're going to be photographed, I think it is amazing for daytime (no flash photography for SPF!) It's a white consistency that you smooth over your face (don't rub it in) and just let it set before putting on foundation or whatever base you want to put on top.

The Luminous Silk foundation is really as beautiful as people say. I think it makes your skin look so smooth and really radiant. It's a lighter coverage than I originally thought but you can build up the coverage. It feels extremely lightweight and like skin on the face. It comes in a ton of shades so you can easily get matched at a counter for yours. I got the shade 6.5 because now that it's Spring I will be a few shades darker so this will be my perfect summer shade. This has been my go-to night out foundation or if I know I'm going to photographed foundation. I've been loving it so much I have been wearing it during the day (with SPF of course!)

Fall Wishlist!


Here are a few things I will be purchasing this Fall...

1. It by Alexa Chung
I bought this last night. I also finished reading it last night.

2. Diptyque Eau Rose
I received this as a sample from Barneys after I purchased a different perfume. I've been toting it around and spritzing it on throughout the day and especially after yoga. My first dityque candle was the Roses one and this one just smells so nice... wishlist now.

3. Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in 14 Satin Brown
Currently obsessing over rusty brownish red eyeshadow colors. Need this obviously.

4. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in 107
I love picking up drugstore lipsticks... I think it's a problem. This one is a little more red toned than MAC rebel and I'm just really interested in trying the Kate Moss lipsticks!

5. Clarin Lotus Face Treatment Oil
I am getting more into face oil treatments. This one is specifically for oily skin to help reduce pore size and overall improve the texture of your skin!

6. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
I need a good coverage foundation with no SPF and I hear this one is the best!

7. Essie After School Boy Blazer
Part of Essie's Fall collection, I love that this is a deep deep navy that looks mostly black but flashes blue in certain lighting.

What's on your Fall wishlist?
