Standout Beauty Products of April

Another month has flown by–along with all of my money LOL– and it’s time to talk about the amazing new beauty goodies that have become a part of my ever growing collection that have quickly become favorites of mine.

Since I’ve already talked about the products I picked up during the Sephora VIB sale, I won’t bore you guys by talking about them again. Just know that I love everything I picked up and don’t regret picking up 500 new glow-inducing products because gimme that Jenny from the Block glow I desperately crave.

ELF Illuminating Powder Palette. So this product was enabled by Paula— all you beauty bloggers are ALWAYS enabling me!– but I’m not mad. At all. The powders in this palette are so soft and are great finishing powders. They’re slightly illuminating, but I wouldn’t say they’re highlighters.

NYX HD Banana Finishing Powder. I love using yellow toned finishing powders under the eyes because it adds brightness. This finishing powder is so soft and adds just the right pale yellow tone so it’s brightening, but not too crazy intense. It sets concealer so nicely and isn’t powdery or chalky at all.

NYX Liquid Illuminator. Are you sick of me and my highlighter infatuation yet? These liquid illuminators are so amazing, and I love that they’re inexpensive as well. If you want a liquid illuminator, but don’t want to shell out a lot of money, or even if price isn’t a factor and you love da glow, get one of these! I have Sunbeam, which is pink toned, and just picked up Gleam, which is golden/bronze– perfect for spring/summer.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer. I wish I had poutier, juicier lips, but since I don’t you can find me trying to fake it with lip plumper. This doesn’t make your lips super plump, but it does make a slight difference. It contains hyaluronic filling spheres to make your lips smoother and more contoured. I will say it leaves my lips feeling softer, more hydrated, and looking smoother so love this stuff!

Dior Addict Fluid Stick. I was totally enabled by Claire because she did a Dior makeup look featuring a Dior Addict Fluid Stick. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the shade she had, but I had to have one so I picked up 449 Ciel Rose. The formula is creamy, smooth, opaque, and it has a beautiful shine. A luxurious lippie indeed.
