So this month has probably been my favorite month so far this year and not just because it is my birthday month… well, maybe a little! On the 8th, I turned 21 years old, so my life got a tad bit more fun (in case you are reading this & not from America, you can legally drink alcohol at the age of 21!). Anyway back to what this post is about, it seemed every new product that I tried this month, whether it was beauty, fashion or lifestyle, I genuinely liked! I thought it would be fun to share my favorites with you guys, all that I have been loving in April!
Another new favorite for this month has been the Milani Color Statement Lipliner True Instant Color in "03 Nude." I would describe this lipliner as a 'my lips but better' color. I especially love the way this lipliner looks with my tanned skin! It's a basic lipliner, but the pigmentation is great and it's very long lasting so for how cheap it is. I pair it with L'Oreal's Collection Exclusive Lipsticks in "003 Jennifer's Nude;" they work so great together. This product is super cheap & I highly recommend it!
If you are like me and have extremely dry skin than you NEED to try H20's Marine Daily Hydrator. I purchased mine from TJ Maxx for $5.99 (hence the ugly sticker I couldn't get off) but they also have a website, not 100% sure where else their products are sold. Anyway, this moisturizer has been a life savior and definitely helped my skin stay hydrated, especially going from cold weather to hot than back to cold again! I love this stuff even more because it does not break me out….finally a moisturizer that doesn't make my skin go crazy! It's oil free too which is great for anyone with oily skin or combo skin, like mine. This product is a definite must-have in my book!
My next favorite has got to be one of my best deals ever- my Gap Jeans, the style is leggings and I believe they're the medium wash (sorry, I threw away the tags in my spring cleaning!). I purchased these jeans for $9, originally $79.95! Like WHAT? How crazy is that! Obviously you can see I love a good bargain. The jeans fit me like a glove which never happens; I struggle with findings jeans that a) fit my petite figure, b) are actually true tight skinny jeans, and c) don't end up being super baggy at the end of the day, but these are just right… I sound like Goldilocks ;) The wash on these jeans makes them perfect for a dressed up look, but obviously you can wear them with a casual outfit too because in the end, they're just jeans! Also, in general Gap has been my favorite store this month, I've been finding such great deals there!
And lastly, I saved my only lifestyle favorite (& most useful) for last, Thank You cards! Like I said earlier this month, it was my birthday. I was very spoiled by my family and friends, so it was only right that I sent them a thank you! I picked these up at TJ Maxx after eyeing them for months, I finally had an excuse to buy them. They are just too cute! The brand is George Stanley and for $3.99, you get a 10 count of the most beautifully crafted cards that look much more expensive than they really are.
That's all my favorites for April, well besides one thing, that will be getting it's own blog post because it is just that amazing! Hint: it starts with L, and ends with V… stay tuned to my blog to find out the big reveal!
