April 2015 Favorites

Hey guys!!!

I didn't do a favorites post last month and I almost didn't do one this month because I have been testing out lots of makeup. There are some products that I have been consistently using throughout the last two months which is why I decided to go ahead and do this post.



  • Batiste Dry Shampoo- My holy grail dry shampoo is the tinted dry shampoo in medium & brunette, but I decided I wanted to try a different one. I have heard a lot of people talk about the Sassy & daring wild kind of the batiste dry shampoos and I love it. I was going to do a review on it, but I decided not to its practically the same thing as the tinted one. Only thing you have to brush it out after letting it sit for a few minutes on your scalp to let it soak up your oils because if not you will get a white cast.
  • Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara- When I first tried out this mascara I loved and hated it. This is a great mascara, BUT because it isn't waterproof my lashes fell down immediately after application. I have been using it up by applying it right after applying a waterproof mascara. It gives my lashes a little more length and volume. I have been loving it.
  • Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder- I got this during the Sephora VIB Sale and I am so happy to have this back in my life. It sets my makeup beautifully and it helps with the creasing under my eyes. It makes your skin feel silky smooth. One day I will try out the Secret Brightening Powder, but for now I am enjoying this one.
  • Milani Rose Powder Blush- I have been reaching for blush a lot and I am scared that the cute pattern on it will rub off soon haha. I love this blush so much because this is my first coral blush and I love the formula. It is very pigmented and very blendable. If you guys haven't tried these blushes you must try it out!
  • Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer- My holy grail bronzer and because it is an expensive bronzer I hadn't been using lately, but I realized I have had it for a while I might as well use it up and repurchase. I have already hit pan on this product. One tip this is really pigmented and if you are not careful you will look muddy. I always get a little bit at a time until I am satisfied with it. 
  • ELF Baked Highlighter- All I could say about this product is BEAUTIFUL GLOW! If you love a good highlight this is a good one to try. I have been using it nonstop recently and I am loving it. I have been using the Real Techniques Setting Brush to apply it and it is the best brush to use with this product. 
Those are my April Favorites. I am still testing out products so there will be more posts coming your way. 

What were some of your favorites this month???

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
