April Favorites

Happy Sunday!!! It has been a crazy busy week and weekend for me!! One of my best friends got married over the weekend and the wedding was amazing!! We had such a good time. Well, as I would say it's better late than never and here are my April Favorites. I didn't get a chance to film a video so I'm doing a regular post. So grab a snack and enjoy!!



Makeup

Dose of Colors Liquid Matte Lipstick


I picked these up at IMATS back in April and have been wearing them ever since!! I have heard so many good things about these liquid lipsticks and had to get my hands on them. They are so pigmented and long wearing. I really didn't have to touch up my lipstick at all during the day. They do not feel drying at all which a plus. They do transfer a bit so be careful of that but they stay pigmented all day. I have two in the colors Berry Me and the limited edition Black Rose. Here are swatches of both.


I really recommend picking a few of these up, they are pretty amazing!! I'm in love with them lol!!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush


After hearing some of my favorite You Tubers rave about this brush, I had to pick one up. I already love Real Technique brushes and knew this one would be a new favorite. It applies my foundation evenly and gives a flawless finish. The brush is super soft and just an overall great brush to own. Here is a close up of the brush.


Hair

Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Styling Butter


You guys already know this is one of favorite hair care lines. I saw this in Target one day and decided to give it a try. I love the thick and creamy texture of this styler and how moisturizing it is. Here is what the product looks like.

 It gives my hair amazing definition and helps keep my style looking great during the week. Here is a picture of a twistout I did using this styling butter.



Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter


I'll admit to picking up hair products and letting them sit in my bathroom for a while until I remember that I purchased the product lol!! I have heard so much about this twisting butter, I had to try it out. I was very impressed with the results I got after using this. I love the creamy consistency and the smell of this product. Here is what the products looks like.

 It helped keep the moisture in my hair and my style lasted for the week. Here is picture of my hair after using this twisting butter.


Shea Moisture Raw Shea Extra Moisture Detangler


This is another random purchase I made at Target lol and really love this product. I already love Shea Moisture and this is another new favorite. I use this before styling my hair to get any tangles out I may have missed. My hair is pretty thick and can get tangled easily. This products really helps styling my hair so much easier.

So that is it for my April Favorites. What were your favorites last month? Have you tried any of these products? Comment below and let me know. Hope you have a great week and see you Thursday.

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post  HERE!!  I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-

Fall Fashion Trends 2017

I keep saying it but I'm going to speak it into existence, I'm going to New York Fashion Week one of these days. It has always been a dream of mine to go and I always miss when it is or have a conflicting schedule but I'm determined to get there. Speaking of fashion, I wanted to share some of my favorites Fall Fashions trends I've seen floating around.  Plaid Image taken from the web I feel like plaid is one of those classic patterns that is always in style. It may not be in the forefront but you always see it. I love plaid, I don't wear it often but I just love how you can dress it up or down, be casual or dressy with it. I would normally wear a plaid button up shirt but would like to venture into different pieces. Sleepwear  When I first saw people doing this, I wasn't a fan but the more I saw different versions, I started to like it. I like this trend when it is done right. I feel like this can be worn on a night out, something you
