April Faves! ^_^

Goshness, April just came and went. Happy May! I kind of lost track of time because, well, I just do =p I'll be flying out of town next weekend to visit my parents and brother and I've been deliriously shopping for them (Mother's Day and brother's birthday) and I'm pretty content with things. Here are some of my April favorites :)


Edit: I don't know why I wrote NYC palettes. Major brain fart =p I changed it!

Wet N' Wild Eyeshadow palette in Greed - I've been really into their eyeshadow palettes lately. After seeing it buzzed around in tons of beauty blogs, I am really glad to have gotten into them. They are very pigmented and long lasting. The only thing I don't like about this palette is the name! Other than that, it makes for pretty eye accents :)

Wet N' Wild Blue Had Me at Hello - My current favorite at the moment. I tend to gravitate toward blues and jewel colors in eyeshadows. I think they suit me the best and the combinations are endless. I love the sheen, the shimmers and the all around versatile colors. They are also fabulous as standalone colors too :) I hope Wet N' Wild continues to bring good quality eyeshadows like this. I'm in search of their holiday 2010 ones still... =p

Edit: Wet N' Wild Cool As A Cucumber. 

Not NYC, =p

Wet N' Wild Cool As a Cucumber - These colors are so soft! The only reason I wanted this was because of the purple but I ended up liking them all. Simple, soft and elegant! :)

Another favorite this month! NYC Creme Blush in Plaza Pink. I know I'm kind of late with their creme blushes but I was really hesitant to try it at first but I'm glad I did!! This blush is amazing. It applies "dry", as in not too creamy or streaky. It's just like a nice sheen of pink! I usually pat a bit of powder blush over this and that's it. Definite rebuy and possibly one of the most versatile color sticks ever. I've used it as a lip color before as well over clear gloss.

Clarins Toning Lotion - I've been using this pretty frequently. I know it says that it's a toner but it's really like a liquid lotion :) Very calming and sans alcohol. Yay! It really calms redness down a lot and I use it for that reason. The one thing I don't really like is the musky old lady scent. It's kind of like that weird warm smell of vanilla. Actually, it's not that bad. Once you pat the toner on your face, the smell is gone. Since it helps with redness, I can handle the scent =p

DHC Rose Facial Treatment Oil - I use a lot of different oils for my face, like rose, argan, vitamin E... I know a lot of people must think I'm crazy, but I really don't feel complete without my facial oils (lol!). I use this rose oil every other day to supplement my moisturizer because I think it really helps my skin a lot to make it look radiant in the morning. Actually, I think this oil is now discontinued (see it on their website.) I got this awhile ago when they had it on sale and now I went to look for it and it says to be discontinued now :( I wonder why?!

And lastly, my most overused powder blushes in April - NYX Natural and Peach! I use this over the NYC creme blush. These two really create the most natural flush. They are silky feeling and medium pigmented. You definitely have to build it up, but when you do it looks really nice and cheeky. Both are matte so that's a plus for being on the natural side.

This is spicy Korean beef soup - Yook Gae Jang (육개장). I had this for dinner tonight... leftovers from Saturday night's dinner. YUM! It's a spicy broth of Korean chilis and various veggies and beef. Really delish and one of my favorites!! :) I'm salivating just looking at it now =p


Alrighty, I cannot wait to read all your monthly favorites! ^_^ If you want me to review something more in depth, do tell me in the comments! Goodnight all!! :)
