April Favorites

Hello Gems and Jewels! As a lover of all things makeup and beauty, sometimes I fall in and out of love with products depending upon how my skin is feeling.  So I have decided to do a monthly favorites post that will include beauty products that I have worn and loved during the month.  Inevitably, some will be old products that haven't gotten much use and some will be newly discovered products but I will be sure to report back to you.  I even think that I will include some of my favorite perfumes because they seem to change like the wind with all the variations come to surface!!! Anyway here are my April favorites, I hope you enjoy!

  1. Makeup Forever Face and Body Foundation--I have used it as a primer for the MUFE HD foundation and alone and I love it! It is water-based and has a light weight natural finish. It is good for normal skin types and those with larger pores.  I applied with a Beauty Blender sponge and am so in love with it for the moment! It can also be used for the body as well.
  2. Makeup Forever Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation--This foundation is amazing! It can be used wet or dry.  When used dry, you get a full coverage matte finish and when used wet, you get a satin sheer finish! I have been waiting for a product like this from MUFE since Lorac released theirs.  Gems and Jewels this is the one you will want to keep in your purse..it's awesome.
  3. MAC Candy Yum Yum Lipstick--Yeah, I'm pretty much obsessed with this pink lip for spring.  It is a bright pink that looks intimidating but can be toned down with the right lip liner and gloss.  I used a magenta liner and the Pink Noveau lip gloss and again I love it!! Although Emerald is the color of the year pinks and reds still rule the lips!!
  4. MAC Strut Eyebrow Pencil--I have been using this eyebrow pencil very often since I dyed my hair red.  It's very creamy and works well because it adds a little more reddish brown to my brows.  I also added some Embark eyeshadow to fill in my brows further.  I love this combination.
  5. Red Cherry Eyelashes--I have been loving these lashes lately.  They are 100% human hair and come in many style variations for top and bottom.  They are easy to apply and put the perfect finishing touch on your look.  I have used #82 lashes several time this month and love them.  
  6. Chloe Eau de Parfum--This is my favorite fragrance right now, I'm actually panicking because I may run out soon.  It is a yummy, fresh, sweet, floral that smells great on me.  The notes that are in the fragrance are as follows:  Pink Peony, Freesia, Lychee, Magnolia Flower, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Cedarwood, Amber, Honey
These are just a few so let me know what you have been loving or hating this month! Giveaways starting in May to my readers and subscribers!
