Is it just me or did March completely fly by? I know its not quite the end of the month, but it will be here before we know it. Today I thought I would get a head start, and share with you all the things that I have been loving this month. Luckily, a lot of the items can be found at the drug store too!
1. The Covergirl Lip Perfection in the shade Apricot Twist is living in my purse as we speak and can be found on my lips on most days. Its the perfect spring-y color and easily dresses up a look.
2. Dream Matte Powder by Maybelline also has a home in my purse with its friend- a small kabuki brush. This is great for touching up throughout the day and it really does reduce all shine! [I heard this is being discontinued :( Let me know if you have heard otherwise!]
3. The Neutrogena Healthy Skin liquid foundation is an old time favorite for me. A couple of weeks ago, I [somehow] forgot to pack foundation in my makeup bag when I was traveling for the weekend. So I ran to a nearby drugstore and ended up repurchasing a bottle of this. Needless to say, even after I have been home and had access to my other faves, I have still been using this. It's a perfect medium coverage and has a nice natural finish. [I use shade 30 Buff.]
4. If you know me, I am kind of a dry shampoo junkie/lover/addict-- you get the picture. When I see a new brand add one to their line, I immediately have to give it a try. [Some are definitely better than others!] This one is coined to be "energizing" and releases the perfect amount of powder to absorb oil. Not to mention- the smell is great too!
5. Soap & Glory has always been one of the brands that I think is a bit gimmicky. I kinda think the packaging of their products is a little cheesy, and some things are overpriced. However, I was on the hunt for a new hand cream to keep in my purse, and I remembered that TiffanyD raves about this particular one. While the scent is a bit 'loud' at first, it really has grown on me, and I am really seeing why she likes it so much. I have found it to be a great hand cream that doesn't leave your hands greasy and slippery.
6. Yes. Yes. Yes. The Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade is so amazing. If you are a mass makeup guru follower on Instagram, then I am sure you have seen this everywhere. I picked up the shade Blonde to see what all the hype was about and have been completely impressed. It's a creamy pomade you use to fill in and shape your brows. I use an angled brush & spooly like this to apply it. Be sure to set it with a gel, and you will have fabulous brows all day.
7. Ahh, yes, another Tarte Amazonian Clay blush favorite. This particular one is in the shade Adored. I got this one in a set I bought [years] ago, and it has just now become a favorite...actually hitting pan! It's the perfect bright baby doll pink, with a touch of shimmer- not to be confused with frost- that highlights the cheeks while creating the perfect flush. Check out all the shades here. I doubt you will find one you don't like ;) Here is a [cheaper] option for a bright pink blush.
So thats it! I really have been enjoying things from the drugstore lately [there is still so many new things I want to try as well], and I think all of you like that too ;) I hope you all have had a great month and are doing well. Thank you for reading!
