April was a weird month. I have to say this was probably the first month in my life that I didn’t see a single friend or family member in person. With the shelter-in-place situation and living alone, I (like everyone else) had to pivot to keep up the social aspect of my life.
In April, I spent more time focusing on my mental health and learned to be happy in my own company again. I also realized how much dressing up and doing my makeup makes me happy. Even though I wasn’t out and about, I still found several favorites that really brought me joy during the month of April. Check ’em out below!
My Favorite Finds in April
- Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter | The formula of this highlighter is truly incredible. It’s so thick and creamy but it blends really well and looks natural. I love the glow that this highlighter gives. It’s easy to use with a full face of makeup or with a more natural look. Plus, a little goes a long way. I got this as a mini size in a Marc Jacobs kit I purchased from Neiman Marcus and I already know that as soon as it runs out I plan on buying the full size.
- You Are A Badass At Making Money | Jen Sincero is truly incredible. I love how this book is laid out. One of the major focuses is manifesting the good things in your life. With little worksheets/tasks at the end of each chapter, I’ve found this one to be an incredible read. I bought this book before being laid off from COVID, but I felt that it was truly perfect timing when I cracked it open. Highly recommend this one!
- IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe French Boutique Blush Brush #4 | I’m slowly working on replacing all of my makeup brushes and this was one of the first ones I replaced. I’m in love with this brush – the way it feels in your hand, the way it disperses product, and the feel of the fibers. Check out the other brushes I recently picked up in my Sephora sale post.
- Free People Sideline Footbed Sandals | These sandals are kind of that Birkenstock vibe, but much cuter, IMHO. The print is so cute and the colors are right up my alley. I would recommend maybe going up half a size – they’re wide and chunky, but they run a little short.
- ROOT Candles Oat Flower & Shea Honeycomb Candle | My incredibly kind brother and sister-in-law sent this candle to me in a care package in April and I immediately fell in love. The scent is so clean and yummy – it reminds me of the beach and a fresh shower.
- Kendra Scott Isa Ring | I purchased this as a Valentine’s Day gift for myself. I haven’t been able to take it off since and really loved having it on during quarantine. Diamonds make every day better, right?
- Fit Simplify Resistance Bands | These bands are perfect for at-home-workouts. The pack comes with five different bands so you can switch up the resistance. I’ve found them super helpful while doing workouts during quarantine.
- Milk Makeup Kush Lip Balm | I’d describe this as a very elevated burt’s bees chapstick. I love the minty scent but feel that the formula is more moisturizing and long-lasting. It’s one of the items I got in my Sephora haul and I’m loving it so far.
- Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil | Obsessed is an understatement. Truly in love with this product. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and can see a big difference in my skin. I’m going to keep putting it to use and will report back.
- Cupcakes & Cashmere Margot Earring | I wear these dangly little huggies almost daily. I love how they’re trendy but also unique. They’re feminine, dainty, and edgy. One of my favorites in my current jewelry collection.
