My Beauty Favorites of April!!

Can you believe how fast the months are  flying by we are almost into June now and Summer will be here before you know it. So I wanted to share my April beauty favorites ranging from beauty products  to fashion accessories, as well as some great Summer tips to get your Summer started right!

I absoutely love these duo eyeshadows from mac, they are stunning and they are so rich and the pigmentation is amazing, the colors are gorgeous ranging from neutrals to bright vivid hues. You can't go wrong with this mac duo eyeshadow the colors are great and with Summer right around the corner they are very popular for their quick application. You can use one color for a lid color and another can be blended into your crease area. If you decide to go with a neutral shadow you can use the lighter color as a highlighting color. i love these because of the fast application lid and crease is all you need and you will have a stunning eye look to boot! You can purchase these beautiful shadows at www.maccosmetics.com for around $22 You wont be dissapointed with this great high-end makeup choice.


These DSW Ballet Flats are a great choice for Spring and Summer. They are  so light and airy and might I add comfortable as well. You can pair these with just about any outfit from leggings to dresses to jeans, if you want to go from day to night just change out your flats and into a great pair of heels laying around. There are so many styles for flats you can purchase a pair with a slight heel on it. The possibilities are endless with the great styles these flats come in. Whatever your style is these flats will meet your needs, you can get a nautical style for that preppy look or a flat with a foral design for a more feminine look or a rhinestone flat for a more edgy look. So whatever pair you choose your bound to look amazing, and I absolutely love my flats because they are so comforting and with small children they are a must and they are a great trend right now so you cant go wrong with a shoe like this.

My Loreal leGloss is honestly the best drug store gloss I have ever purchased. I picked up two flavors one for my makeup collection and one to store in my handbag for quick touchups. I really love these glosses  because they have a great scent to them and their not sticky and the color is amazing as well as the shine and staying power. For $6 you are getting a steal!! You will look so gorgeous and with Summer coming up shiny glosses are a ultimate sexy look, with that healthy glow and tan and beautiful glossy lips your going to look stunning!!


My Naked palette from Urban Decay is one of my Holy Grail of makeup products. The colors are so great and there are endless looks with this twelve color palette. The shadows itself really do deliver a big punch! The shadows are so rich and pigmented and also so creamy with little to no fall out. There is virtually no color fall out and the staying power is amazing. Also included in this twelve color palette is the Urban Decay Eye Primer potion which is Urban decay's number one selling product. It keeps your shadows from creasing and makes the colors more vivid and this small travel size will last you a very long time since it only requires such a small amount so you will have it for awhile before you will need to repurchase another. This is such a universal palette and is great for any season and any occasion.

I recently just purchased this Mac 217 blending brush after reading great reviews from www.makeupalley.com and I can honestly say this is the best blending brush money can buy. For around $22 which can be quite pricey for most people this blending brush will last you for years and is an awesome brush for quick eye looks or more detailed eye looks. I think for starters this would be a great brush to purchase as well. Its going to make blending super easy just brush into a window washing motion and the brush is going to do all the work for you. The brush is great for shading and blending of colour or creamy products. This brush has fine, densely packed fibers that are arranged in an oval shape. M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials so your going to get the best quality in a brush, and this brush will definitely suffice!! It's a great investment that will last for years and you will be so thankful when doing your makeup with this brush. You can also get creative and use this brush to apply concealer as well.

I just purchased this Essie nail polish as well and its one of my favorite beauty picks for the month of April. Essie's Mint candy apple is an amazing color and is so on trend right now. These colors are selling out everywhere and they make a beautiful nail look for Spring and Summer and go with any outfit, and will make you look so trendy and stylish. The color is a light pastel blue, and pastels and neons are so popular right now so dont forget to pick up this beautiful rich nail color.

If your reading fashion magazines like I am you have probably seen how popular these neckalaces are right now, and its called the sideways cross neckalace. When I first saw this type of jewelry I really liked it because it was so different then the typical jewelry piece I usually find. I love dainty pieces and this is definitely a dainty piece but carries a big impact on the style it possesses. It's just so stunning and really one of those pieces that will never go out of style. Right now this neckalace is being called the kelly Ripa neckalace because she has been seen everywhere with this neckalace on as well as Selena Gomez. So as you can see celebrities are really rocking this type of neckalace and it can be yours for little to nothing in price. Ive seen this beautiful neckalace on www.Ebay.com for around $12- $16 which is a great deal and your going to love wearing this beautiful neckalace and you will get so many compliments. I purchased mine from www.Etsy.com because I wanted it to be hand crafted and filled with 24 karat gold. I love Etsy because all of the jewelry is handmade and the craftmanship is amazing. So if your looking for a feminine  and dainty neckalace then you will love this gorgeous piece, it will look amazing for Spring and Summer as well as the Fall and Winter months.


For a quick instant Summer glow use a Bronzer and apply it to the hollow area on your cheeks and lightly sweep across your face as well like your nose area and sides of your eyes. You will have a instant tan and beautiful Summer glow. For a great highend Bronzer use Nars laguna $34 which can be purchased at www.sephora.com and if your a girl on a budget use Elfs dup Blush/bronzer duo for $3 at www.target.com or in any Target or Kmart. You can purchase any Nars products from Sephora
