Current Favourites (March, April & May!)

So... I've been gone for a hot minute! 3 months to be exact. Boy time is flying by and I can't believe we are already in June. Half the year is gone. Hope everyone is doing well :) For the past few months my makeup has changed and I've been trying to use up some items in my collection plus try out some new things. Here are just a few things that I have been loving currently.

• Urban Decay Naked Basics 1 - an oldie but a goodie!
• Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer - this stuff makes my skin look so smooth. I guess that is why the call it "perfecting" LOL
• Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour Full Coverage Foundation - Awesome coverage and lasting power.
• Too Faced Sweet Peach Oil Lip Gloss in Pure Peach - Moisturizing and sheer pigmentation but still pretty. This has made yet another appearance on my favourtes!
• Maybelline Colossal Big Shot - I use this almost everyday... I think I should retire it soon.
