Archive for the ‘Monthly Favorites’ Category

Another month, another excuse to shop so I can make an awesome favorites video! I gotta admit, this may be my favorite kind of video to make, because feel I like it justifies my shopping habit. Nothing quiets a shopping killjoy better than saying “hey man, it’s for my job!” Really though, I don’t shop for pleasure, I shop to keep my readers and viewers informed. It’s more like a labor of love, really. Not convinced, huh? Ya, neither was anyone else hahaha.

In any case, here’s what I loved for the month of April!

Products Mentioned:
Aveeno POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream $16.99
CoverFX Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne Treatment $38
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Metal 24 Hour Cream Gel Eye Shadow- Inked in Pink, Gold Rush – $6.99
Aqualillies for Tarte Amazonian clay waterproof eye and cheek palette $38
NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil- Peacock $4.99
NYX Glam Liner Aqua Luz Collection – Glam Azure $5.50
L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Eyeshadow – Smoldering Plum, Midnight Blue $7.95

I’ve been splurging a little more than usual lately, hence the abundance of MAC products in my favorites this month. I don’t feel too bad, since I tend to only splurge once or twice a season. Plus it’s just way too much fun!
Check out the video below to see all the good stuff I got, in addition to some new Olay facial towelettes that are so rough I’d rather use them to scrub my sink than wash my face.

You guys have been on me about doing monthly favorites videos, and since I’m always looking for more excuses to shop here’s my first one! This month I mainly featured drugstore products since the holidays are coming up and like many of you I’m trying to save a little money. My focus has mainly been on skin and haircare products lately since all this packing has made me realize I own more eyeshadow than any one human being should be allowed to, and perhaps I should start using what I have before buying more. We’ll see how long that one lasts!
