April Favourites {monthly series}

May is here and the weather in Toronto does not represent Spring time at all, grey days with rain. But, beauty products always put a smile on my face and here are my April beauty favourites:
Marc Jacobs DAISY- the roll-on version is so practical for travel! A sweet, fresh scent that's perfect for Spring/Summer.
CoverFX Natural FX Water-Based Foundation SPF15 in shade M30-great colour match for me. A natural looking foundation that gives a dewy look to skin without looking oily. Very concentrated therefore a pea-size amount is all you need. Best applied with a foundation brush, and for a sheer look use a damp brush. Light-medium coverage, honestly the coverage all depends on how you layer this foundation. Very versatile! I do find that a finishing powder works best with this foundation.
Yves Rocher Culture BIO LipBalm-a basic lipbalm but packed with hydrating ingredients. Natural, moisturized lips with a bit of sheen.
Sally Hansen INSTA-DRY Fast Dry Nail Colour in shade Peachy Breeze- total impulse buy & worth it! This nail polish is thick and drys quick. Gorgeous shade for Summer, got alot of compliments.
Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics Nail Polish in shade Tease-milky lilac/grey, really fun pastel shade for Spring/Summer.
StokoVitan Care Cream for Dry/Very Dry Skin-no clue where to buy this as the boyfriend gave it to me. Says the Air Force pilots use it so must be good & it is. All my co-workers loved it! Very thick cream & a little goes along way. Moisturizing without the greasy feel.
Live Clean {Exotic Shine} Bali Oil Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner-pure vegan, SLS/Sulfate-free and paraben-free hair care products. The shampoo suds nicely for a sulfate-free shampoo, hair feels nicely clean and fresh. While the conditioner moisturized without adding too much oil. Affordable too! Smells like pina colada.
