Hey guys! It's been a while and I hope you're all doing well! I just wanted to tell you guys about things I've been loving in April! Quick update: my computer broke down so I haven't been able to do anything for my blog which sucks so much! I don't know when I'll get a new computer but I shall keep ya'll posted on twitter. :~)
These are all/most of the things I'll be talking about! There will be links if any :-)
Since mother nature has been very fickle about the weather in Portland, I still wear a bunch of sweaters! It's either been pouring rain or super hot, mostly rainy though. I got my sweater on sale at Ann Taylor Loft for $15! It was my first purchase from them and it's more for older women haha. Also, I've always thought bras were really uncomfortable to wear all day so I bought some really cute bralettes at Forever21 and I've been wearing them so much. My favourite is the lace bralette because it's really cute and provocative in a sense. They're so much more comfortable to wear, especially for long hours!
I went to the Body Shop and found the all time best face wash I've ever used in my life. It might seem a little extreme to say that but seriously, it works so well! The tea tree wash makes your face feel so refreshed and clean, it's incredible! I got a deal and bought another bottle and the lotion as well. I use Lush's grease lightning on my face after the cleanser and then some of the tea tree lotion to moisturize and soften my skin! I haven't had any bad breakouts and my skin doesn't get very oily! Overall, it makes me feel so clean and I really recommend it because it's just been working so well and they have great products!
I don't go to Sephora very often but I went and bought the Too Faced Primed and Poreless powder. I'm in love with the powder because it's really light and sets my make up for the day. It's pretty expensive but I feel like its worth it and I'll be purchasing it again when I'm out! For my eyebrows, I use Almay's eyeshadow in hot fudge and it was about $5. At first, it was just a quick buy because I needed something to fill my brows in and I didn't realize it was creamy! I apply it with an angled brush and doesn't smear and makes them look more natural. Today, I tried to use it as an eyeshadow but that didn't work out very well. I'm content with using this for a long time until I find something better!
I try to stay away from L'Oreal products as much as I can because they test on animals which makes me really mad! My sister bought their True Match Lumi foundation in porcelain/light ivory but she gave it to me and I do like it! It's very light coverage and doesn't feel heavy throughout the day. It blends really well and matches my skin tone :-)
I'm not sure if Revlon is cruelty free but I have a couple of their products. The photoready primer goes on really smooth and keeps my foundation on throughout the day! It goes on pretty clear and helps cover up my dark circles.
And my last beauty product is the Marc Jacobs concealer in 1/awake. It's quite nice but I don't love it. I use it only for special occasions or when I really need to cover up some imperfections because it's expensive! I apply it with a sponge brush by dabbing it around the areas after applying foundation. It's a cream which I don't like using but does cover up well. After wearing it, I feel like it gets really oily in the spots I used it on and that bothers me a lot. It's still a nice concealer but I'm not very committed to it so I want to try other products!
Here's some swatches of the products! It goes from the primer to the foundation then concealer!
This is after blending them out. I don't know if you can tell but they all go with my skin tone but the concealer does look a bit lighter/pinker.
I finally got a new phone after like 4 years!!! I was really excited :~) I got the iphone 5s in silver/white. I can finally start posting nice instagram photos since I've been M.I.A for a while. I still need to find cute cases though! Also, I've been playing on my DSi a lot now, especially animal crossing wild world! It's basically a substitute because I don't have ACNL :-((
I'm a little obsessed right now and it's really fun! If you haven't played before you should asap yo
For school, we're reading the glass castle by jeannette walls! It's actually interesting. I usually don't like the books we have to read for english but I actually like this one! It's about a girl (the author) growing up and her family is really poor. They constantly move around and her parents have mental illnesses even though it's never revealed but is pretty obvious. I don't want to give away too much but it's been good and I'm basically more than halfway through!
Lastly, I've always loved plants. I keep buying so many, they're everywhere in my room! Most of them are cacti and small things because I have allergies :-( I got this really cool one and I don't know what it's called but it's basically grass and it's from IKEA as well as the pot! Plants are really great and I think everyone should have at least one in their room!
Well, that's it for my April favourties! I hope you guys liked it and I'll post a lot more after I get my computer fixed or a new one! Don't forget to follow me on instagram the link is on the side ♡
I really love the lacey bralette! It looks really cute!
