I am going to be real with you guys – bloggers get sent a LOT of free stuff. Some of you have probably seen the big bloggers or You-tuber’s videos where they show product ‘unboxing’ of all the free stuff they receive. Now, I am by no means a ‘big’ blogger but I still get sent a decent amount of skincare and beauty products to try on a regular basis. This can be fun because I get to try out products and share with you guys the ones I really love and actually end up using on a regular basis. This post is a round up of all my April beauty favorites that I am using (and that are working!). And some of these products you may have heard me talk about before so if so – I’m sorry for repeating myself, it just means it is THAT good!

Grand Lash MD Lash Serum – This stuff seriously works guys. I am not even that dedicated to putting it on every night and I have noticed a significant difference. My lashes have gotten really long from this. I started putting it on my eyebrows so I will keep you posted as to if it works there or not too. **Pro Tip: Don’t use a ton and don’t shut your eyes right after putting it on because it DOES hurt if it gets in your eyes. Just for a sec but still, try to avoid that if you can.

Amala Beauty Rejuvenating Neck & Decollette Cream + Their Collagen Mask. First of all, I was listening to a guest on The Skinny Confidential’s Podcast (pretty sure it wad Dr. Dennis Gross- which his products are coming up next) and he recommend that you should be using a SEPARATE cream for the neck and decollette area. The skin is different there than on your face, so why would you use the same cream as you do on your face, you know? I love this stuff because it makes my neck and chest area feel super hydrated and smells like I just left the spa. It also absorbs nicely into the skin and doesn’t leave you feeling super greasy and sticky either.
As for their collagen mask – well, let me just say that anything to do with ‘collagen’ and I am in. This one is made with cocoa bean which ‘helps stimulate microcirculation whiel restoring elasticity’ and green algae which ‘helps promote collagen production’ -need to say more? I’ve used this twice now and both times my skin was glowing afterwards. I highly recommend all of their products especially if you are searching for natural skincare products that actually work.

Next up is the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Exfoliating Moisturizer. Okay so I’ve only used this product twice now but am obsessed with everything about it. I will keep you guys updated over the next couple of weeks but I LOVE the way it smells and the way it soaks into your skin. First of all, it smells fresh and clean – not perfumey or chemical like. And it is extremely lightweight but you can tell it is super nourishing at the same time. I am replacing my CeraVe with this for right now and going to see how it goes after the next two weeks. The before and after photos on the Nordstrom site are pretty cool – I love that they don’t look SUPER different after but you can tell it does make a difference. Also if you haven’t tried peel pads and have skin concerns like dull skin, large pores, or fine lines I definitely recommend using this! It’s like a daily renewal system for your face.

Another beauty product I love is a makeup product by NYX; their soft matte lip cream. These last for hours and come in SO many shades. I showed a few of them on my Insta stories awhile back but my favorite right now is Leon – a rosey dark nude. They come in so many great nude shades you are bound to find one that compliments your skin tone. And they are totally affordable which is an added bonus.
Do you guys have any beauty obsessions right now?! Please share if you do, I love trying new things!
