Because of my whole laptop incident, I’m a little behind making videos so I decided to go ahead and combine my favorites from both the months of March and April into one video because I’m just crazy like that! Sorry for the funky lighting and my childhood lisp that apparently hasn’t completely disappeared xD
PRODUCTS MENTIONED
Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser – I left my Aveeno cleanser at home so I’ve been using this since my New York move. What I really love about it is that not only does it leave my skin feeling so clean and soft after use but it also gradually reduces pores (and I have MASSIVE pores).
Clean and Clear Acne Spot Treatment – I cannot stress this enough – MIRACLE in a tube!! I’ve been using this little lifesaver since highschool and SWEAR by it!! Put this on your zit, pimple, big ol’ acne spots three times and day and watch that baby disappear!

Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream – This was one of the very first department store “high-end” beauty products I ever bought. I forgot how old I was – maybe 16 when I bought it – and I did so because I remember I kept seeing it being mentioned by various celebrities as one of their “must have” items so I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I’ve probably gone through about 6 tubes of these things since then and this month my appreciation for this wonderful product was renewed. With the cold, severely drying New York weather that I was desperately not prepared for, this product has been another life saver!
L’Oreal Linear Intense in Carbon Black – I originally was not a fan of this eyeliner because I prefer a felt tip at the end and this has a brush which isn’t as easy to control. However, I’ve been practicing a bit now with it and I’ve come to really love it. It’s much blacker than my other liquid eyeliners and is perfect if for doing a dramatic winged eyeliner look (which I’ve been really into lately).
Benefit They’re Real Mascara – I got a sample of this mascara in one of my ipsy bags and now I finally understand the hype! It’s a great all around mascara with little bristles that’s great for coating every lash without getting clumpy – win!
China Glaze “Refresh Mint” – One of my all-time favorites, I’m so happy it’s finally spring so I can start wearing it again! I have several mint polishes but this is the one I always end up coming back to because it’s DA BEST.
Essie “Lilacism” – Another all-time favorite I like to break out in the spring, this polish is simply the perfect lavender color.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat – Such an amazing top coat!! It dries SUPER fast and leaves such a nice, glossy finish! I paired this baby with my Essie Lilacism and I didn’t chip my nails for one WEEK – you read that right, ONE WEEK. Call me impressed.

Nike Free Run 5.0 sneakers – The best running sneakers ever (and I am picky about my running shoes)! Super cute and super light!! Makes it feel like you are running with no shoes on!
Toki Doki Marvel shirt – This shirt of various Marvel characters in Toki Doki style is probably one of the cutest things I have EVER seen. Just precious.
House of Cards – Finally jumped on board and gave this show a try and I’m hooked! Still have a couple episodes left but I’m sure I’ll zoom through them in no time! This Netflix Original Series is produced by David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network) and definitely reflects his tone and aesthetic and touts an impressive cast who all give powerful performances. Watch it.
Silver Linings Playbook and Argo – The only two movies I saw…pretty much the entire time I’ve been in NYC, but hey if you”re only going to see two movies – I’m glad it was these two pretty freakin’ fantastic movies. JLaw was superb and flawless. BCoop – I just made that up – was fantastic and beautiful – yes, beautiful. I was super invested in the characters and storylines of both films and can totally see why they were both nominated (and won) so many awards. If you haven’t seen both of these films yet, I highly recommend you do so now.
DailyGrace – Oh, Grace, how I love thee. My latest Youtube obsession, Grace is hilarious, random, and awesome and makes videos FIVE times a week. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder than when I watched her “What I Think of the Presidents” video. I’ve probably seen it a dozen times now and I still laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME.
That’s all for this month! What were your March and April favorites?
