March Favorites!

In the past month, I have accured some monthly favorites that have become staples in my beauty rotation. Some of the products I am going to show have been things I never thought I would buy but are well worth the money. I can be a stickler for price but sometimes it is good to splurge! Anyway, lets get on with beauties!

First, I want to start with my face powder and highlighters!


Top: Hard Candy Bronzer in Tiki
Bottom: Mac MSF in Lightscapade and MSF in Light Plus


 

I have used many face powders in my day and I havent found one as good as MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Light Plus. It creates a natural look without being too powdery. It does cost $30 but it seems to last for a while.I highly recommend everyone checking it out.

As for the two highlighters, I have been obsessed with setting my undereye concealer with them. I use the MSF in Lightscapde the most. It helps to lighten up the area without looking like you put glitter or anything in the area. It has a great sheen without being unnatural.

Hard Candy calls Tiki a bronzer but really it is a great golden highlighter. It adds just a bit of glow when you need a pick me up!

Next up, eyes!



Maybelline Expert Eyes in Browntones; MAC Pro longwear Concealer in NW 15; Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer in Radiant

Lets be honest. Dark circles are a girls biggest enemy when it comes to creating a bright complextion. I have been using a combo of the MAC and the Dream Lumi and it works great! I put the Dream Lumi on first to help correct some of the darkness and then apply the MAC on top. It works wonders at waking up a tired face!

My next trick at bringing out the face is my eyebrows. I have extremely light brows and have always fought it. In years past, I just let it ride. I was too afraid to try and dye them and just didnt understand pencils or what not. My first foray into filling in the brows was with a pencil. It often was too dark and never looked right---until recently. I decided I would give powders a try. Browntones is actually a eyeshadow but hey, who cares! It works great at creating a brow without being too harsh!

Urban Decay Naked Basics

I put off for months on getting the Naked Basics palette. I figured I could live without! Boy, I was wrong! It is perfect for creating an everyday eye look. You can go simple or go dramatic! I have been using it almost everyday since I got it!

Mica Beauty Gel Eyeliner

I got this gel liner in an Ipsy bag. It is a really dark, basic black liner. It is great for the winged liner I have been obsessed with!

MAC Pressed Pigment in Blonde Streak

Swatch

Blonde Streak is great for added a little sparkle to an eye look. I like to use it in the corner of the eye for brightness and have even used it to frame the outside of my eye. Make things a little fun!! and who doesnt love a little glitz?!?

NYX Cream Blush in Boho Chic

A new thing I have gotten into is cream blush. Boho Chic is great for a soft natural look. I use it on days where I want an "inner glow". I use a stippling brush to apply right after my foundation and then set my whole face with my MSF. I find that it has good pigmentation and lasts all day.


Welp, those have been my stand out product for the month of March! Look out for more to come!
