My Top 15 Face & Eye Products For Spring!

Hello lovelies! 
Spring is here & I couldn't be more excited. I'm so over the cold weather. Plus, I love Spring time colors. Today's post will be about face & eye products only because if I included lip products too this would be the longest post ever. Tomorrow I will have a separate post about my favorite Spring lip products. So, let's get started. 

1) L'OREAL Revitalift Miracle Blur
This products is great because it really does blur lines & pores (for me at least). Plus, it has an SPF of 30 which is nice for if you're going to be outside. 

2) mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes

I really love this little palette. You can use it all over the face. It makes a great highlighter. They also make a nice base for eyeshadows. You can even use them alone on the lids. If you have oily lids they might crease though. It is a bit pricey ($16.00) but I have had mine for almost 2 years now & it still hasn't dried out.

3) NYX Love in Paris Palette in Let Them Eat Cake

This is such a cute little palette. I love it. The colors are perfect for Spring. You could get a nice light natural look all the way to something a bit more smokey with the darker colors. The coral color in the middle is probably my favorite. So pretty. 

4) Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
This is one of my favorite foundations. It's great for Spring because it is light weight & has a natural finish on the skin. It also has an SPF of 20 which is always nice. 

5) Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded

I don't think that it's any secret that I love the color tattoos. This one to me is a perfect lid color for Spring. It's a light champagne shade which is of course nice for any time of year but especially for Spring. 

6) L'OREAL Infallible Eyeshadow in Always Pearly Pink

 This is one of their new shades & it is quickly becoming one of my favorite shadows. It's really pretty all over the lid & in the inner corner. It also look really nice over the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded above. 

7) Wet N Wild Fergie Shimmer Palette in Rose Champagne Glow

I love highlighters. They are one of my favorite makeup items. They are especially nice for a Spring look. This one is really pretty & affordable. If you apply it with a stipple or fan brush it gives a nice light glow & can also be built up for a stronger highlight for a night out. 

8) Jordana 12 HR Made To Last Eyeshadow Pencil in Continuous Almond
Matte nude eyes seem to be in for Spring this year & this is a great option for that type of look. It can be worn alone without creasing or under a powder eyeshadow. 

9) Revlon Colorstay Shadowlinks in Lime

This is a great light green shadow. It's very Spring time appropriate to me. This is a nice option for someone who wants to get into wearing more colorful shadows because it is a light green & not to out there. I did review these a little while back that you can check out here

10) Wet N Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Collection in Petal Pusher

Pinks & purples are also nice for Spring. This palette is a perfect combination of the two. These shadows are super pigmented, easy to apply, & blend. My two favorites from this palette are the top right & second one down on the left. 

11) Benefit Boxed Blush in Dandelion (Sample Size)

 This is a nice subtle blush for fair to light medium skintones. It is very natural looking. This also makes a great natural looking eyeshadow. Plus, it smells nice. 

12) ELF Studio Blush in Candid Coral (Depotted)
Corals are very in for Spring every year & this blush is a nice inexpensive option. It has a subtle glow to it & looks good on every skin tone. 

13) Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural (Depotted)
This is one of my favorite blushes. It is a very natural looking pink color. It has a bit of shimmer but nothing too crazy. This one smells nice as well.

14) Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner in Emerald Glisten
The color name on this is perfect. It is an emerald liner with emerald shimmer in it. This would be great to used with a nice nude eyeshadow then wing this out. It has a nice wear time a a nice easy to use felt tip applicator. 

15) Jordana Easyliner Retractable Liner in Mint
To me this is more of a aqua than a mint color. Either way it is really pretty & has nice wear time. My favorite way to wear this is smudged out on the upper lash line. I have somewhat watery eyes so it doesn't last long on my waterline but you might have better luck. 

That's for today. I hope that this was helpful. What are some of your favorites for Spring?

Until next time...
Stay True & Stay You

February Besties.

Hello lovelies. 
Today I have my February Besties to share with you. 

-L'OREAL Revitalift Miracle Blur-
I have been loving this as my primer. It really does "blur" some pores & fine lines. Plus, it has 30 SPF. It also makes my skin super soft. 

 -Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof-
This stuff makes my lashes look like BAM. It has a rubber bristle wand which I'm usually not a fan of but I just love this mascara. It might even be my new holy grail but it's too soon to start that type of talk. 

-Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer in Fair-
This is actually my 3rd tube of this stuff. Now, if you have some serious dark circles then this won't help much but if they aren't too intense then this stuff with do the job. It blends like a dream & has SPF 15. 

 -LypSyl Lipbalm-
This stuff is AMAZING. This makes my lips so soft & smooth. It has a nice minty scent but it doesn't tingle on the lips like most other lip balms that have a minty scent, in my experience at least. The best part is I feel like it actual moisturizes my lips & doesn't just sit on top of my lips like a lot of other balms. Bottom line, do yourself a favor & buy this. You can thank me later. 

-Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Nude Lust-
I'm normally not into nude lipsticks because I just feel like none of them have ever looked right on me until now. I can't remember the last time that I fell in love with a lipstick so quickly. This has been pretty much the only one that I have been wearing since I bought it. You can check out when I hauled it here.

 -Wet N Wild Beauty Benefits Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette in Sand Castle-
You can check out my original review of this palette here. I really liked this when I first got this but I wouldn't have called it a favorite but that changed. I really love it now. The shadows are smooth & pigmented. It's a perfect everyday quad. My favorite shade from this is probably the highlight shade. It just looks so pretty in the inner corners of the eye. You can see where I used this in a FOTD here.

-Sally Girl Eyeshadow in Cupid (limited edition)-
When I have been wanting a pop of color on my lids this is the shadow that I have been reaching for & I really like. It was limited edition unfortunately. It was part of the four that they put out for Valentine's Day. I did a review of them here. Once you get through the over spray this is basically matte. It is a bit powdery but I like the color itself enough that I'm willing to work through that.

-Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal liner in Nude-
I love a nude liner on my lower waterline & this has been the one that I have been using lately. I also really love to use this on my upper lash line & then top it off with a colorful eyeshadow. This isn't waterproof like it claims but it does last a good little while on my somewhat watery waterline.

-ELF Kabuki Face Brush-
I usually use a traditional powder brush but lately I've been using this kabuki brush & I really like. It's super soft, well made, & it was inexpensive. You can buy it at Target or on the ELF website here

-Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path Body Lotion-
This scent has a cult following along with Bath & Body Works fans. This is the first time I have ever tried it though. I have to say, I see why so many people like it. It has a nice, soft, relaxing scent. I like to put it on before bed. Once I finish this little bottle I plan on buying one of the big ones.

Well guys, that's all my besties for this month. What were some of yours this month?

Until next time...
Stay True & Stay You
