April Favorites

April 29, 2015 Amanda Hollingsworth

It's time for another round of monthly favorites!  Since I typically measure time in months at work anyway, it's actually been kind of fun to sync up the different products that I try with that schedule.  Now that we are fully in the swing of spring, I've pulled out some things that are oldies but goodies as well as some tried and true favorites.  Here's a look at what I've been loving in April!

Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish - This is one of those products you find randomly in your closet or under the cabinet that you completely forgot about and can't remember why you haven't thought to look for it sooner.  In my case, that would be since I moved last summer.  It was still tucked away in a box of beauty products that are basically on the verge of being thrown or given away.  All I can say is thank goodness I saved this one from it's untimely demise.  I use this every couple of days in the shower to exfoliate my body, and with summer right around the corner, this is perfect for getting smooth skin without being too harsh or abrasive, especially if your skin is sensitive like mine.  Much to my dismay, as I went to link this product for you, it looks like Sephora is phasing out carrying the Soap & Glory line.  I did find it on their website though!

Dove Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo - This one would be a tried and true favorite for sure.  I love trying new products and different brands, but with dry shampoo it seems like I always end up with Dove.  It smells amazing, doesn't leave any white residue, and most importantly gives me the results I am looking for.  I was tempted to try a new brand during the Sephora sale but I figured why bother if I have something in my arsenal that I know will work.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Tipsy - I'm not usually drawn towards corals or warmer shades in general, but this blush is just too beautiful to pass up.  Plus, you can't deny that coral is pretty much synonymous with summer.  I've got beach vacation on the brain, so forgive me if I'm skipping over spring a little too quickly.   

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Fuchsia - Once the weather was consistently warm, I wasted no time in bringing out all of the bright lipsticks!  If I had to pick a favorite, this would probably be it.  The formula is perfect for a gal on the go because it seriously lasts all day long with hardly any need for a touch up.  I love my makeup, but I'm all for no-fuss at the same time so any product that lasts all day is bound to become a favorite of mine.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - I use this under my eyes and I have to say it's amazing quality at a fraction of the price of a higher end comp.  The doe-foot applicator makes it simple to apply and I don't notice any creasing or smudging.  Chelcey used this recently one morning when we were running late for brunch (like when are we ever not) and she had to know what it was because she loved it too.  That's how you know it's a keeper.

xoxo,

Amanda
