The Favs | April 2015

Saturday, May 2, 2015


I have heard a million people say this but I will say it again, I cannot believe that it is already the end of April! I didn't have a ton of favorites this month but I thought I would pop over and share a few things that I have been really loving. 

Paper Towns by John Green | I had heard such great things about this book and have always enjoyed John Green's writing so I decided to pick it up. Soon after starting the book I fell absolutely in love with this story. So much so that I am writing a separate blog post dedicated to some of the wonderful thoughts and ideas discovered from this book. I would suggest Paper Towns to absolutely anyone that enjoys a compelling, thought provoking adventure!

Freeman Mask in Avocado & Oatmeal Clay | The Freeman masks have been a long time favorite as they are quite affordable and generally do a wonderful job. As my skin has been having a real moment I have been trying to take really good care of it and use a good rotation of masks for maximum hydration and to keep everything clear and this one has been great to pop on. 

L'oreal Sublime Bronze Tanning Lotion | As a girl that burns quite easily in the sunshine I try to curb my paleness with a bit of sunless tan as we enter the warmer months. Last summer I started using this self tanner and I find this is a very nice subtle yet buildable color. I use it with the Ulta Sunless Tan Mitt. It generally doesn't streak on me unless I am doing it without paying much attention then I can get an odd spot or two but they fade out quite evenly!

Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in 'What's Up, Doc?' | Now that Spring has arrived it has finally become socially acceptable to bring out the bright lippie colors. Recently I picked up the Silk Finish Lipstick in 'What's Up, Doc?'. It is a orangey red that I am absolutely in love with. For a ninety-nine cent lipstick it is quite long wearing and the pigmentation is excellent. I expect to get quite a bit of wear out of this as the months get warmer and the makeup gets bolder. 

MICA Beauty Tinted Lip Balm in #5 Natural | I received this product in an Ipsy bag several months ago and quickly forgot about it. When cleaning out some of my makeup drawers I came across this product and decided to give it a try. Turns out it is the most beautiful mauve, your lips but better color. It has surprisingly good coverage for a product intended to be a lip balm. Nothing quite better than rediscovering something in your makeup stash! 

Garnier De-constructed Texture Tease | If there is one thing I hate it's the feeling of really clean hair. I cannot get my hair into any type of style I remotely like without injecting a bit of grit into my locks. I have been loving this texture tease spray. It is great to freshen up beachy waves and is so reasonably priced it has become a daily go to product for me this month. 

Over Sized Cateye Sunnies | On a random Amazon search a few weeks ago I decided I was in desperate need of a dramatic pair of cateye sunnies. And dramatic they are! When I received them in the mail they were most definitely larger than I had expected but I quickly fell in love with them. I'm not going to lie I feel like people are really judgy towards these, but then I remember I don't really care because I adore them!

What have you been loving for the month of April?

Five Friday Favs :: A Bit Late This Week

Sunday, December 7, 2014

Here's what I have been loving this past week. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

 01 Currently Jamming To… FOUR

I am a shameless lover of One Direction. Call me basic if you must, but there is something about those boys that just makes me adore them! There album FOUR that came out a few weeks ago has been playing non stop; first thing when I wake up, during my commute, and while I am working. There is just something so grown up and wonderful about this album. They have done away with the cheesy, sugar coated songs (I still love those too!) that filled their previous albums and have a much more mature feel surrounding these new songs. My favorite songs are Night Changes, Girl Almighty, and Spaces. Check it out!

01 Fashion :: I am obsessed with wearing black this Fall and when I saw this outfit I simply swooned! For a girl that only used to wear bright colors, I have fallen fast in love with gray and black.
