May Favorites

 

  So this month has been a bit of an off month. I have gone days where I wear some makeup and days where I dont wear any makeup. I had a bit of a bad breakout recently and went a week without anything on my face trying to let my skin heal and not be bothered with piling on the makeup. However, there have been some things that have really stood out to me!

Two things I am not going to talk about too much since i have already mentioned them, the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Roller Ball and the E.L.F Brow and Lash Gel. Both I still love and continue to use religiously. 

Something I have been using every night for about a month if not more is the Origins Clean Energy Gently Cleansing Oil. Which I plan to do a full review on soon, so watch out for that but I must say that I LOVE THIS! I never thought I would be the type to go for a oil to take off my makeup but it is so much more gently then using a traditional wipe and it really gets everything off, from foundation to eye makeup and mascara. AMAZING :)

Also another item I have been really obsessed with for over a month now is the Petite Cherie Perfume by Annick Goutal and I bought this with my points from Birchbox and I must first off say it is not cheap! I ended up spending about $50 because I used 300 points to save $30 and its only a 1.7oz. However it is unlike any other perfume I have ever smelled. Its like peaches and vanilla. It has really made its way into my heart of faves.

The last few bits are some things that I have had but recently fallen back in love with, the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum I have had for over a year and am just now about to finish up but this is a big help with frizz and especially if you are about to blow dry, curl or flat iron your hair. It provides a much smoother and polished look. The Sonia Kashuk flat top brush I have had for a while as well but I decided to try it with my foundation and holy cow, I must say it just works so well and blends so amazingly into the skin its been a must for me lately. Another one I have had for a while is the NYC mosaic bronzer and this has just been my go to, its a matte bronze that looks so natural on my skin and warms me up. 

What have your favorites been this month?

So I Went to Sephora

 I cant ever seem to go into a Sephora and leave with nothing. I always see something or I linger just a little too long and get suckered in to buying something whether its one thing or a bunch of things. This trip I didn't do too much damage. 

I was rather intrigued with the Sephora brand as I have never bought anything from it and thought it wouldn't hurt and it is on the cheaper side of alot of the products they offer. So i went with the Sephora Instant Radiance Foundation in Light, and its matching concealer. I originally just went for the concealer because I wanted something that would be good for blemishes and didn't feel like dropping a ton of dough.

I also picked up this Baked Color Notebook by Sephora as well, and to be honest the adorable packaging is what lured me in at first but I have to admit these colors are gorgeous!

They are so soft and creamy, have good color pay off and I could really see traveling with this and could get many looks with this. So far I love it but I need to use it a bit more before I can say too much about any of these products. Just thought I'd let you in on some recent purchases :)

 

Been to Sephora lately? What did you get?
