I've been experimenting with new and old brow products in my drawer the past couple weeks. So far these three babies have been my favorite combination. It's fast, easy, and I love the results. The color is perfect and lasts all day.

I start with my Illamasqua brow cake in Motto. The color is described as a warm taupe on their website. It's an accurate description but sometimes when I look at it, it feels slightly cool toned. What I like about these brow cakes is that they aren't super powdery. The powder doesn't poof all over your face. You can also mix this powder with water for a more precise line. I have yet to try that but the dry finish works great. I like to use it with my Anastasia brush spooly.

My second and final step would be to set my brows with Benefit's Gimme Brow in the dark shade. This is a great product when you are in a rush because it adheres to the brows really nice and can be built up. It also dries fast which is great because I don't like the feeling of wet brows.

moth season is here ladies and gents!

Available on April 14th at 12PM PST! I love the 60's vibe I get from this color and the email photo (below). The color is so different and fun! What do you guys think? I am super digging the 60's 70's style for Summer this year!

I was lazy makeup wise this month so the products listed here are simple and straight forward. I found myself reaching for bb cream and pressed powder for a quick foundation routine and then a quick swipe of mascara on occasion. The one thing I did do this month is start using a face mask once a week again with great results. Plus a little pampering never hurts!

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay - here or your local Vitamin Shoppe - This is the mask I've been using once a week (usually on a Sunday night). I mix it with apple cider vinegar and apply on clean, dry skin. I find that is deep cleans my skin without being too harsh. My skin doesn't feel dry or irritated afterwords.

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - here - I've been using this daily as a face moisturizer and for cooking. I especially like to slather it on heavily at night. It makes a great eyelash conditioner too, gently massage onto the eye area, go to sleep and wake up with strong thick lashes!

AmLactin Moisturizing Body Lotion - here -  Yep I am still obsessed with this lotion. I think that is a great sign considering I usually move on to something different monthly in this department. I am almost finished with my first large bottle and plan on picking up another one in the next few weeks. I don't know how I lived without this stuff for so long. It is a godsend to my sensitive, dry, eczema prone skin. It is even wonderful to use on my face for light exfoliation!

Yes To Coconut Protecting Hand & Cuticle Cream - here - The scent is heavenly. The texture is emollient and moisturizing to the max without greasiness. You only need a small amount which means the 3 ounces will last forever! It being 97% natural makes me feel good about using it. I love this hand cream.

Younique BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer (Cream & Honey) - here - These are great dewy bb creams with a light tint. I like to mix both shades to create my perfect color plus they double as highlight and contour creams. Who doesn't love a multitasker? They make a perfect base for Mac's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural.

Josie Maran Perfect + Protect Daily Argan Oil Moisturizer SPF 47 - here - The color of this is perfect, the description states it is a warm radiant glow and I completely agree. I wouldn't recommend it for super fair skin tones due to the warm orangy tones but other than that it will be a friend during the up and coming Spring and Summer months. The finish is super dewy so if that is not your thing, you may want to pass on this one. I personally love the hydration and glow. Perfection.

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (Medium & Medium Plus) - here - I actually hit pan and finished off both of these compacts in the last month. I will definitely be repurchasing both shades. They are the perfect finishing powder and/or light foundation. I love the finish, it's not flat but super natural!

Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara - here - Yes I know I list this all the time but it seriously is my favorite and holy grail of mascaras. Need I say more? ;)
