April Favorites

Hey guys!

Hope you all enjoyed the month of April! The weather in Eugene has been quite unpredictable and cold, but with the blooming flowers, campus has never looked so beautiful! Enough about the weather and Eugene, let’s get to the good stuff. Earlier this month a few friends and I went to the local Walmart. I have only been to Walmart a few times and never really bought anything. This time I went crazy in the beauty department. They have really low prices and products you may not find everywhere. I may not have mentioned this yet, but most of the items I feature will be drugstore products that I find to be high quality. I want to make sure that the everything is affordable and worth the purchase. If I  share some high end products it’s only because I feel it is completely worth it. Now lets get into my favorites for this month.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation:

This product has completely changed my life! It is my all time favorite foundation because it’s really light and looks natural on the skin. When I wear this I feel like my skin is glowing and the best part is that it lasts all day, even after I workout. The only downside is that Rimmel doesn't sell this product in the U.S as far as I know. In fact, a good friend of mine purchased my bottle during her trip to London. Have no fear though, this item can be purchased online on asos.com. It is a little bit more expansive online, but it is totally worth it! I’m sure that I  will be using this foundation forever!

NYX Eye Shadow Base:

I

Have any of you applied eyeliner to your upper eyelid and later noticed that it had rubbed off on the crease of your eyelid? Or has your eyeshadow faded or separated into chunks after a while? This was common problem for me before I found this product. I always had to check my makeup to make sure it didn't melt off or spread. The NYX Eyeshadow Base is a primer that you apply on your eyes before applying eyeshadow and or liner. It not only brings out the color of the shadow, but it makes sure that the shadow stays all day without creasing. It also helps to eyeliner to stay on without spreading. This product lasts forever and can be found at any ULTA store.

Wet and Wild: Walking on Eggshells palette 380B:

This is a perfect basic palette! This is my go to when I'm running late and just want a natural look. I also love how it tells you exactly where to apply each shadow. Every girl needs this! It’s affordable, easy to use and looks beautiful with every eye color. I honestly can't say anything more other than to tell you  to go buy this palette right now!

Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal :

This mascara just came out this month, so I thought I would try it out. This is a good everyday mascara. It adds length to lashes and really brings out each individual lash. I call it a everyday mascara because it doesn't make lashes look artificial and overly full, which I usually aim for during the weekend when I'm going out. I also enjoyed the brush on this because it was big and good for really getting every lash. Also this mascara doesn't flake throughout the day which I appreciate and it comes right out when I wash it off at night, without losing all of my lashes.

Nude by Rihanna:

I bought the Rihanna Nude body spray for $8.00 at Walmart! It smells incredible, it’s very sophisticated and light. With it’s floral hints and a touch of amber it’s the perfect scent for summer!. Like any body spray it doesn't last for long periods of time so it is completely appropriate to spray excessively. Luckily the scent isn't suffocating and can be worn both day and night. Rihanna gets a A+ on this one AND $8.00 for a 8 fl oz bottle?! Who can say no to that.

Ed Sheeran Sing:

Also this month I am loving Ed Sheeran's new song “Sing”! This is a little different than his previous music style, but I love it. This song will definitely be on replay this term. Enjoy!
