Favorites: April 2014

As each month ends, I’ll share 5 of my favorite products from that month. Think of these posts as recommendations of a handful of great beauty items!

Here are my favorites from April:

1: Marc Jacobs Beauty Shameless Bold Blush in Outspoken: I featured this blush in my recent 5 Blushes I’ll Be Wearing This Spring post and I’ve stayed true to my word. I especially enjoy pairing this blush with Benefit’s Lollitint, another April favorite! The combination makes for a gorgeous, bright orchid flush that stays put all day.

2: Waxelene All-Natural Petroleum Jelly Alternative: A few weeks ago, I purchased this gem from Pemberley Jones (Be sure to visit her website for the amazing products and stay to swoon over the beautiful photos and layout!) and I’ve been loving it ever since! I use it on any dry patches on my face before applying makeup and it makes those pests disappear. This is a perfect natural alternative to Vaseline and can be used just like Vaseline to do everything from groom eyebrows to soothe scrapes.

3: Giovanni Frizz Be Gone: I finally got my hair cut in late April. Took long enough, I know. During the early weeks in April, my hair was still looking big and fluffy. This product moisturized my ends, tamed the frizz and allowed me to fake good hair days.

4: Benefit Ring My Bella Eau de Toilette: This has been my go-to spring fragrance. It’s sweet and floral and just so yummy. Plus, how cute is the bottle?!

5: Benefit Lollitint: I’ve owned other Benefit cheek stains, like Benetint and Posietint, in the past, but have never been a fan. That was until I found Lollitint! This shade is a pretty and bright orchid shade. It adds a great pop of color to the face and like I mentioned above I love to pair it with Outspoken.
