Over the past two
months I was able to try out many new products and rediscover some old faves as
well. April was hectic with the production of The Rocky Horror Show happening
but it gave me an excuse to buy more beauty products.
So without further
adieu, let’s get started.
Beauty:
Eyes/Brows:
Urban Decay Naked 3-
Pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before but this has been my go-to pallet for
the past two months. The blush toned neutrals are perfect for everyday wear and
when I want to darken it up for a night look.
Maybelline MasterPrecise Liquid Liner pen- This is my favorite drugstore liner pen. It’s nice and
sharp to help achieve a precise winged look which is nice because I almost
always do winged liner.
NYX Cake Brow Powder in Medium-
For when I want a more natural brow look, this is my go-to. It’s fine enough
that it fills in my brows without causing them to look too dark which is easy to
do when you have dark brows -perfect for brunettes and those with black hair.
Make Up For Ever SmokyExtravagant Mascara- This lengthens my lashes and gives them so much volume! I
would use this to prep my lashes for falsies which I had to wear for Rocky
Horror.
Kiss i-Envy Lashes +glue- Speaking of lashes, the i-Envy line from Kiss has amazing lashes. It’s
premium human hair and they have lashes that range from natural to more
dramatic. I not only wore these for the show but I wore them on nights out too.
Milani Gel PowderEyeshadow in Bella Gold- These gel eyeshadows are super pigmented and add the
right amount of glam to your look. You can use them wet or dry to add
intensity.
Face:
Covergirl LooseTranslucent Power- This powder is seriously amazing. It sets your makeup
without making it look cakey and helps with oil control.
Loreal Infallible 24hr MatteFoundation in Sun Beige- Now, I usually don’t wear foundation but I needed it for the show.
This foundation is worth all the hype. It dries to a demi-matte finish and it
looks natural on the skin. It held up during our double feature and I had it on
from 4 p.m. to at least 2 a.m. That includes dancing non-stop and being under
bright stage lights. I apply it with my beauty blender to help sheer it out.
NYX Matte SettingSpray- Amazing. It helped my makeup stay on flawlessly and it actually keeps
your face matte. Your makeup stays in place all day.
Elf ContouringBlush/Bronzer duo in St. Lucia- This came in handy during the show. It’s
pigmented and blends out easily. The blush had a hint of shimmer, helping add
some highlight to my cheeks.
Contour +
Highlighting Kit- I lucked up and found this contour kit while at Ross. Super
random but the powders are quite pigmented and easy to blend.
Maybelline Hi-Light Blush in Nude- One of my all-time faves. The colors blend together to create a
rose gold shimmer and it looks amazing, especially in the light. It’s
comparable to Mac’s Soft n Gentle.
Lips:
Swatches from L-R: Touch of Spice, Cherry Bomb, Pink Soufflé, Blushing
Sephora Cream LipStain in Pink Soufflé - These things do not budge on your lips. They dry matte
and aren’t drying.
Maybelline CreamyMatte Lipstick in Touch of Spice- I wore this almost every other day. It’s a
creamy matte so it’s not drying and feels comfortable on your lips. It’s a dark
nude with a hint of pink, comparable to Mac’s Velvet Teddy.
Wet n Wild MatteLipstick in Cherry Bomb- I love a good dark red lip and this was my go-to during
Rocky.
LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint in Blushing- I love a good blush toned nude and this was no exception.
I normally don’t wear glosses but the formula isn’t sticky or overly glossy so
it feels nice. Comparable to Too Faced Liquid Lipsticks.
Fashion:
Tropical romper fromCato’s- I was skeptical about trying a romper because I didn’t know how it
would look on me but I instantly fell In love with this! It has a nice fit and
it’s so comfy. Plus, I love green and black. I’m on the romper bandwagon now.
Black lace shortsfrom Forever 21- So comfy! I wanted some shorts that were more comfortable than
jean shorts and these are flowy but still have a nice shape.
Black V cutout tankfrom Target- I love tanks like this because it’s so easy to dress them up or
down. It’s flattering and perfect for the summer.
Blue + Silver Sandals from Palm Beach- I wear this style sandal all the time. They literally go with anything.
Movies:
The Avengers: Age of
Ultron- Are you kidding me? As if I could have a favorites list and NOT mention
the Avengers. The film was absolutely amazing, I loved the introduction of
Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch into the MCU, I immediately fell in love with
their characters. The only issues were: the unnecessary love story between Nat
and Banner and the fact that Linda is Clint’s wife and not me.
Pitch Perfect 2- It
was Aca-Amazing. Duh. The more I watch this and the first film, the more I realize
that I’m Aubrey.
Music:
Fifth Harmony “Worth
It”- I can’t control myself when this song comes on.
Nicky Minaj ft.
Beyonce “Feeling Myself”- I feel beyond fierce when I hear this.
Taylor Swift ft.
Kendrick Lamar “Bad Blood” remix- As if I wouldn’t include this. That video
gave me so much life.
Alright, that’s it
for my current favorites. Let me know what you’ve been loving recently!
