Being on a low buy has really had me looking at my collection lately, and becoming more familiar with the products I already have. I chose some staple products for this month's favorites, partially because I don't have a lot of "new new" to pick from, and partially because I feel favorites should be repeat, staple products. I have a couple kinda new products in this month's picks though, so that's a little exciting! (I won't deny that I love the rush of getting a package full of new goodies in the mail.)
Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick in Spanked - The name is certainly a mouthful, but I really like this lipstick! I bought this back in February as a birthday gift to myself, and didn't get around to using it until this month. The formula is comfortable and not ultra matte, which I'm starting to grow tired of. The shade is a typical rosy pink, which i always seem to gravitate to. I am hoping to maybe get another shade from this line, especially if I can destash some unloved products.
Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Hand Cream - I am CONSTANTLY washing my hands at work (staying hydrated = lots of bathroom runs = a lot of hand washing!) so I keep a tube of hand cream on my desk. I prefer something cheaper on my desk, and I've been super picky lately. Some hand creams have had a residue left behind, some are just too expensive (I keep a jumbo L'Occitane in my bag, but I go through it too quick for it to be my desk hand cream), and some just don't smell nice. I bought this at Target, and honestly it's perfect for everyday use. It's hydrating enough that a little goes a long way, it sinks in quickly, and has a neutral scent. It's also like four bucks, which makes it my new HG budget hand cream!
MAC eyeshadow in Shroom - As you can see, this is a well loved eyeshadow. It's actually from somewhere in my early college years, making it like ten years old. I use it as a subtle inner corner or brow bone highlight. It's taken literal years to use this much, and I'm determined to finish it! I've been lazy with eyeshadow lately, and just popping this in the inner corner for an extra bit of polish to my basic looks.
Viseart Neutral Mattes palette - As I mentioned, I've been lazy lately when it comes to eyeshadow. Thankfully, this palette has made my life a lot easier. Using this, I can throw together a super quick matte eyeshadow look that is beautifully blended. It requires next to no effort to put something cohesive together. Even if I am feeling lazy, I'm still able to get a nice look going with this, especially paired with Shroom!
Cosrx Low pH PHA Barrier Mist - Another slightly new thing! I received this from Cupidrop as a bonus in addition to a sleeping mask sent for review. I fell in love with the packaging at first sight, the soft gradient of the bottle is beautiful. Thankfully, I also like the actual product itself! The mister creates a super fine mist, which I prefer. The mister button is a little hard to press down, but I don't mind. I've been using it before actives after cleansing, which I think has been helping my skin. I haven't used this over makeup, as I don't really carry mists with me. I'd consider purchasing once this is finished, I've really been enjoying it.
April has the Sephora sale along with the potential for a good Ulta coupon, so I'm hoping to have some "new new" things to show off next month. But if not, I'll be back with more of my reliable favorites next month.
