 Oh, me, oh my. How is it in May already? You guys, May is ridiculous in my family. It's my husband's birthday. My dad's birthday's in a couple of days. Mother's day, then my birthday. My parents' anniversary is also in May, so always a lot going on in May. But the main focus here, obviously, my April favorites, the products that I've been loving. My main focus is the products that I picked up from the Sephora sale because Sephora sale started in April 1st and I bought so much junk. And so now I have so much to talk about. Most of it's from that. And I apologize because yesterday's video was my Sephora haul updates. The majority of this video, kind of repetitive. It didn't mean for them to go back to back, but that's the way the cookie crumbled, but you can at least see the products that really, really, really stood out to me that I could not stop reaching for. If you hear the dishwasher going, pour the surgeon on my part. I really wanted to eat lunch after filming and we were out of forks. So I made the decision to start it before I started filming and that's where my priorities lie. Let's get into it. I have one skincare item and she is all finished up, but I just had to share with you my love for this product. This is the Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream. I mean, this is nothing new. This is not a hot take, but dang, this moisturizer is amazing. I am all done. There is not any product in this. I am sad, but I have to move on to different products to test for you guys, but this was such a joy to be put into my routine. It's intensely hydrating, but it still is really lightweight. If you have dry skin, I definitely recommend this. Elemis is such a good brand. I've been loving that to the point where I finished every little drop of it that I could get. Okay, let's get into the cosmetic portion. I'm so dumb. I did not put this foundation on this morning. I don't know why, but this is super, duper great, so I'm excited to update you on this. I've been continuing to test the Wayne Goss The Luxury Cream Foundation. Oh my gosh, phenomenal, you guys. I just feel like my experiences with it just keep getting better. I was a little worried about the wear time with this because cream foundations don't really seem to set very well and I do live in a hot, humid climate. It's only going to get hotter from here, but there's something about this where even if it doesn't stay looking as good as it did when I first applied it, that it just wears so gracefully and beautifully. It doesn't look like I've sweated my forehead off, which is normally what happens. I'm a very sweaty person, you guys. My upper lip foundation's always disappear first because my upper lip would be sweaty. But no, this doesn't melt the foundation away in that aspect when your sweat hits it. It looks really hydrating on my skin. I blend out beautifully. My skin looks super, duper healthy with this. It really complements the look of dry skin as well. I can't speak for how well it works on somebody with oily skin, but I'm here to update you. This is fantastic. And it was definitely my favorite new foundation I've tried this month. Next up, I have a powder foundation. This is the one size turn up the base versatile powder foundation. I picked up a new color of this during the Sephora sale. The first color that I got was really dark and orange. So I did an exchange and got the right color and this is such an awesome powder. I think it's really versatile. So I didn't get to show you in today's demo but one of my favorite ways to wear this being in Florida I really like a powder foundation for a humid climate. I just feel like it sucks that my oil is a little better. Well, not even my oil is my sweat a little bit better. So if for my everyday routine without worrying about testing products on camera just wanting my skin to look better when I go out I'll put on a little bit of concealer first thing and then I just use my powder foundation as powder foundation and it wears really great. My skin looks great despite sweating and all that nasty stuff. And it's really lightweight and natural. So I do enjoy this as a powder foundation but I also have been enjoying it to simply set my makeup at a little bit of extra coverage. I did that today. I find it makes my skin look so perfected and smooth. It blurs all of the pores. I don't love it for setting the under eye but in terms of just setting the porous areas on my skin I think it does an incredible job. So this is one of my new favorite powder foundations. I'm a powder foundation girl. Definitely look into this one. It's so great. I just love that it's not too heavy to use to set makeup but you can still also wear it as an actual foundation as well. So this is great. I'm really late on the hike with this but I've been loving it. The next product, oh my gosh. I told you guys I would be back talking about this. I cannot get over how much I love this Psy Sun Melt Natural Cream Bronzer. I have mine in the shade light bronze. It blends out really beautifully. There's a lot of qualities about this that remind me of the Chanel. It's not a dupe for the Chanel. The Chanel is a little bit more cream to powder kind of consistency whereas this doesn't really dry down but the creaminess reminds me a lot of the Chanel and so does the color as well. This is so beautiful. It literally melts into the skin. It's not too overwhelming of a color on my skin tone. It's not too dark. It's not too warm. It's really perfect for every day that every day kind of contour and bronze to your face just to get some color out there. So I highly recommend this. This is a really beautiful cream bronzer. I can't put it down. I have a blush. I think I've talked about this in like 10 videos but I cannot be stopped. This is the Laura Mercier Blush Color Infusion in the shade ginger. Every time I get a new color of this it really is just a holiday for me. I go to town with these blushes. I don't wanna say they're my all time favorite powder blush formula but they're definitely the one that I reach for the most on an everyday basis. It's like not an $80 blush so I feel like it can throw it into a makeup bag and not have to worry about it. It's not too overpowering. You can never apply too much of it. The shade ginger is the perfect every day kind of neutral blush. It's gonna go with whatever you are wearing. So yeah, I picked up a new color. I'm very familiar with this formula but ginger, she's good for every day. I know this product got mixed reviews but I love this product. I am on positive side. This is the Pillow Talk Multi Glow from Charlotte Tilbury. I love both colors but of course I'm going to get the most use out of the Romance Light Color which is the lighter one. I have it as my highlight today. It is a blingier highlight but I feel like it doesn't emphasize my texture too much. I feel like even though there's four different shades in here, this looks good all mixed together but you can get slight differences if you kind of stick to one side for a lighter color or if you stick to this side for something darker. It's still going to run very light but I just think it is so beautiful for all over the lid, for highlighting. I did not do an inner corner highlight so let's go ahead and do that. I'm gonna go in with the more pinky side so I like that there's subtle customization that you can do with this. I think the formula is really, really beautiful and it is quite glowy. So if you don't like something super glowy then you won't like this. I think there are like a meta-skill glitters in here. Nothing to bother me really. I feel like I can pick them up a little bit on my cheek but it's not at all bothersome to me. I also really do like the Dreamlight which is the darker one. It doesn't really work out for me as a highlight. I tried it as a blush trapper, it works but you know it's a little shiny to be a blush trapper but I still like this for like all over the lid and again in this darker one I feel like the shades differ a little bit more so you get a little bit more variety out of this. I like both. I mean if money's tight I'm only going to get romance light but I do not regret picking up Dreamlight. Moving on to the eye portion. I have a couple of brow products. The first one is the Refy Brow Pencil. I picked up a whole kit of three of the items. This is the one that definitely stood out to me the most. I just love how fine the tip is. It's a little bit more color than I normally would prefer but I really like it in this case because I feel like the medium is such a good color and it also blends out so easily where I feel like if it does get too intense if I just use the spoolie on the other end it blends it out fine and gets rid of any mistakes that I made so you have a lot of control with this and if you mess up it kind of wipes away but it doesn't fade away. If you don't blend it it's not going to fade either but yeah I really like this. It's been a very nice easy to use pencil. Also have been using nonstop the Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in Boundless Bisc. I use this for everything. Like mostly I'll use it to clean up my under brow but I've used it to clean up around my lips. I've used it to highlight my nose, my inner corner. I've used that as an eyeshadow base and that's what really these can be used for is anything that you want. They're not the most malleable product but they're malleable enough. So they give a lot of pigment. It's going to stay where you put it but you do have some time to rub it out and make it more blended. Highly, highly recommend this. It's just kind of a great touch up pencil for me. Eyeshadows I have too. I tried a lot of eyeshadows. So it was hard to narrow these down because there were a lot of good ones but you know this was the month of the rose pallets. These are the two that you probably know I was going to talk about. I've talked about them a lot. I've ranked these. So I'm not going to get too deep into it but I have the Patrick Tom Major Dimension two rose pallet. Of course, I mean this is incredible. Do keep in mind though, I mean this is a rose pallet. You're not going to venture very far from the rose looks. I've created this look and worn this look essentially all month. Today I did use the cream base. I don't need the cream bases. They aren't necessary for me but I did use it today because I was like, why not? And then I used this shade right here in the crease. Blended it out to almost nothing just to create the most natural shadow. Use the darkest shade to create a little bit of depth out here and then I have this shade right here all over the lid. I mean I've worn this look so many times and they're not going to get a ton of variety out of this pallet but it's a rose pallet. You should know what you're in for if you're picking this up. It's great. It's beautiful. I love it. And then Charlotte Tilbury came out with one of my all time favorite quads. She's come out with the Pillow Talk Dreams Luxury Palette. This came out with the highlights as well. I mean, you can't get better than this formula from Charlotte Tilbury. It is so stunning. It's up there with five of rose. If you ask me, it's another rose pallet. You probably don't need this color selection in your collection if you do have a larger amount of eyeshadow pallets but I'm such a Charlotte Tilbury stan. I'm huge on quality and this gives it to me so I regret nothing. I think it's worth every penny. Continuing onward, this was a surprise. It was a purchase that I picked up, not expecting much of it. I just picked it up kind of just because because Gucci Beauty has a spell on me and this is the Gucci Beauty Felt Tip Eyeliner. Amazing, super black, not too watery. You have a lot of control with it. It lasts such a long time. It's such an easy liquid liner to use. It's not as good as my all-time favorite luxury eyeliner which is the Tom Ford eyeliner but this might be my second favorite eyeliner. I just think it's incredible. You see how black it is? And it's so easy to use. The tip, it doesn't fall over at least yet. It holds its shape. So good. So, so, so good. Gucci Loki just came out with one of the best liquid liners. Like I don't know where. Okay, and then finally, lips. I have quite a few products. Everything in today's video is rose. Clearly, I had a type this month. I had a specific look. So, Esum came out with a couple new shades of their duo lip liners. The shade Blush has been a color that I've been going to at nonstop. So this is a double-ended lip liner. We have a more pinky side and then this one, it leans a little bit more peach. This formula is so easy to use. It's really creamy and if you like pinky kind of neutral lips, you will love this. I'm wearing the more truly pink side but I've been using the other kind of more peachy neutral side a lot lately as well. These are just a really phenomenal lip liner formula and I just love the way that these look with my other pinky lipsticks. I have surprisingly two liquid lipsticks to talk about and I think I love them due to their color because the colors are just so pretty. So the first one that I have is from Sigma from their new mod collection. This is the shade new mod and it's just the perfect like everyday rosy, mauve lipstick. It's a little bit drying as most lipsticks are. It's not my favorite liquid lipstick formula but this is like the perfect everyday color for me. So I've been going for it nonstop. So I do recommend this. If you're picking up the new mod collection or anything else from the website, this lipstick, the perfect color. I've also been obsessing over the new Gucci Beauty liquid lipsticks. I only picked up the shade Cornelia Pink and if I wasn't overwhelmed by all of the lip products that I have in my collection, I would have picked up more. The shades run quite dark or bright. There's a couple lighter shades online but yeah, you're gonna get a bold lip with these. Love this formula, so comfy. One thing to note is it's almost like a lip blur. I know they market these as liquid lipsticks but they kind of have that lip blur formula so it's not gonna give you super pigment and I would recommend using a lip liner just to get the defined edge around the lips but they're so comfortable that it's worth it. I can truly tell that these are a luxury formula and I've been wearing this nonstop. It's one of the most comfortable liquid lipsticks. Even though I really wouldn't describe it as a liquid lipstick, it's more so like a very pigmented lip blur formula and it doesn't necessarily dry down but it's great. Also, you might recall that this month, I don't even know if it was this month but it was last month that it came out but we all received it this month. The Pat McGrath Labs in Bridgerton 2 Collection Launch. I liked the collection overall but in terms of what Pat McGrath has launched, it wasn't my favorite collection of Pat McGrath but her lipstick collection, one of my all-time favorite lipstick collections she's ever come out with for this, starting from the packaging. Now I will note, these lipsticks are a little bit smaller, you get a little bit less product. They don't feel as heavy in the component and the component does feel a little bit cheaper. Doesn't feel as nicely made but the aesthetic I can overlook it personally. I know some people can, that's fine. That's why I'm warning you that these do feel a little cheaper but the aesthetic of it, I don't even care and I loved the colors that she came out with. It's still Pat McGrath's great, great formula. So the lipsticks that I've been loving, honestly, they're very, very close to each other so you probably don't need both but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I wear both of these the most so pick one. The nude romantic two is a little bit lighter. It has a little bit more of a dusty rose quality to it but it's a beautiful, beautiful formula and again, it's within that mauve family that I've really been enjoying color-wise this month. It goes with all of my rose tone lipsticks and then the other one that I love is Negligé. Negligé is just a hair deeper so like I said, you don't need both but I've been loving both so yeah. Best lipstick collection color story-wise As you know, I've been integrating a little bit more handbag content on my channel. Obviously I'm still a makeup channel but I just thought I'd mention the handbag that I've been loving this month. I did do a whole unboxing on this so if you wanna see that, just look up my Tory Burch unboxing but this bag that I picked up, I've been wearing nonstop. I feel like it goes with the vibes of all my outfits which is what I bought this for. I wanted a cute summery purse. This is the Kira Mini Crochet I believe is the name. I love it. This is the update. I've just been absolutely obsessed with it. It goes with so many summery outfits and cute dresses. I love the very thin chain. I find it to be a very comfortable bag to wear around the shoulder. You can cross body it as well if you want. The only thing is this is a Rafia bag. I've never owned a bag that had this material and I do feel like I see a couple of these coming out a little bit so you definitely need to be careful about this. It's like this as well but I think that's just the nature of the material but that is something I want you to keep in mind but other than that, I don't have anything bad to say. I think it's very, very comfortable. I think it's so cute. I think it's just the perfect summery bag. It holds all of my stuff. I love the card pockets here. So yeah, this has definitely been my favorite bag this month that I've been reaching for the most and I'm super into Tory Burch handbags now. From what I can see, they seem to be really well made and I love the designs as well. And don't get me wrong, Tory Burch is expensive. Some of her bags definitely reach towards the luxury designer handbag pricing but still it doesn't hurt quite as bad because I mean, you guys know, the luxury handbag market, it's I don't make enough money to be buying those all willy nilly. So I'm very happy with my Tory Burch. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this month's favorites. It was quite long and a lot of rose items but some really great stuff that I tried out since I did try out so, so many products. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me and liking this video. I appreciate it so much and I will catch you in the next one. Oh, by the way, if you're wondering, I will have a palette rankings going up this month. I skipped last month because I didn't try that many palettes but I have a lot of palettes for that video. So keep an eye out for that. All right, I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys.
