It’s time for a monthly list of favorites! The weather is getting warmer and I’ve started looking for new fragrances for spring and summer. This is my favorite this month.
top 3 perfumes
Along with a few perfume influencers I started following on YouTube, I decided to do more research on perfume brands that caught my eye. After watching so many new videos with detailed explanations and comprehensive reviews, I feel like I’m a total perfume newbie. I’ve ordered several Discovery sets from Kilian, Parfums de Marly, Mizensir, Giardini di Toscana, and Ex Nihilo, to name a few (some are still in transit to me).
I ordered Parfum de Marly for the first time. feminine discovery set. I ended up liking almost all the scents.My top 3 from this set are: Delina La Rose, Meliora and Valaya. You will receive an e-gift card code that allows you to apply the set price toward a full size purchase.I ended up buying it Meliora It’s a fruity and floral scent, so it’s very different for me. I don’t really like fruity scents, but this one was so bright and summery that I fell in love with it. They can also be found at: nordstrom and neiman marcus.
meliora top note
Red berry, raspberry, lemon essence
heart notes
rose, ylang ylang, jasmine tea
base notes
vanilla, musk, cedarwood
What I purchased was Killian Discovery Set from sephora last month. I liked 3, but I wasn’t in love with him yet. There are some beautiful options, but I’m more interested in lighter, brighter scents.I really liked their new work after all. tanned goddess Many have stated that this is something very different from what Killian usually releases.if you love tom ford soleil blanc of Eau de Soleil Blanc I think you’ll probably like Killian better. It has a slightly more floral feel compared to Tom Ford’s.She actually likes layering. tanned goddess and Eau de Soleil Blanc together.
Tanned Goddess Notes: Ylang Ylang, Tiare Flower, Coconut.
I pulled it out dioliviera And I forgot how much I loved it. It’s one of the few fig scents I can wear. I love a good fig candle for home use, but when I put it on my skin it just doesn’t work. Beautiful fresh figs with rose. It’s expensive, rich, and smells like a luxury vacation in a bottle.
Dioliviera Notes: Fig + Rose
April’s favorite makeup
I rediscovered my skin armani luminous silk foundation + concealer combination. When you start using it again, you forget why you stopped using it. This foundation is a timeless classic that delivers medium coverage, natural glow, and a beautiful finish. Concealers have been hit or miss in the past, but my skin now loves them. I wear shade 6.5 in both formulas.
For the base, I tried something new Ilia Skin Rewind Complexion Stick This is one of the best foundation sticks I have ever tried. It’s like a skin tint in stick form. No other stick glides into your skin so seamlessly. Very well blended and perfect for a wide range of skin types. I think it’s perfect for people with normal to dry skin. It’s also very comfortable to wear (needs to be set with powder). My match is perfect at 18W. I plan to go with you on my next trip. The coverage is pretty good, still looks like skin, but even better.of complexion brush is also very good. It’s small, but surprisingly good.
I partnered with them Please share your demo here And they gave me a promo code to get 20% off my order. iliabeauty.com Includes code THEBEAUTYLOOKBOOK20 (valid until 5/10).
Other products that are perfect for your skin tone are two bronzers and one highlighter. I have a love-hate relationship with most cream bronzers. That’s because many cream bronzers remove foundation from your face too quickly, are too sticky, or don’t have an appealing color.I finally tried it Makeup Transforming Skin Enhancer by Mario Softsculpt (Medium) Very good. I love the color, texture, finish, and how it looks on my skin.much better than that Saie or anastasia beverly hills First, Makeup by Mario is easier to handle, blends in better, and isn’t too heavy.
I picked up two new items. Armani Luminous Silk Bronzing Powder. It’s a very large compact and the formula is very beautiful. It features a soft, silky texture, delicate shine, and a beautiful, natural finish. I bought 100 and 110. I currently prefer 100, but I can also wear 110 without getting too dark. I’ll have a review and swatch soon, but you can see it in action here.
I picked up a new one Dior Forever Glow Maximizer It’s a nude (this shade was added after the initial launch) and I love the color. It’s a champagne that’s not too light and has a nice undertone on the skin. Out of all the highlights shades, I think I like nude and peachy the best.Updated my review and swatches Original review here If you would like to see all color swatches.
This month, many new lip products have been released. There are so many great formulas out there these days. However, his two lip colors that I have used the most are ones I purchased previously.I dior addict lip maximizer 051 Nude Bloom and NARS Afterglow Sensual Shine I like Breathless the most (I also love Orgasm and Voyeur, reviews and swatches too) here and here).
That concludes my April favorites! What did you like about this past month?
