April Showers Bring May Flowers

It is now April, and where I live, it rains very often during the spring and summer months. It has its positive and negative sides. Positive because I can be cozy at home, cuddled up and reading a book or watching a movie (or I could be sleeping haha!) But rain has its negatives because I want to go to the beach or just soak up some sun rays. Regardless, rain is needed to make things grow!

For the past few years, one of my hobbies has been to plant a garden every spring. Unfortunately, I am starting a little late this year! But that is okay because it has been cold lately and plants don't do well in the cold and waterless season.

These are the seeds that I will be planting this year! I have Pansies, Verbenas, Sweet Williams, Moss Roses, Petunias, and African Daisies. They look so pretty! I am super excited and wanted to show you all one of my other hobbies =) I can't wait to see them in bloom!

My Monthly Makeup Bag | April

Hey Dolls! I hope you had a great Easter with your families and a beautiful day! It is starting to warm up in my area, which is always a good thing during the Spring!
To kick off April, I decided to post my Monthly Makeup Bag! I know I did one for March two weeks ago, but I want to start them the first of the month. I have a few items in my bag that I want to use up completely because there is very little left. 
*Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation*
This is one of the products I want to use up. For the review click HERE.
*Maybelline Shine Control Loose Powder*
Okay powder, just trying to get through it as well. 
*Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian clay waterproof concealer*
*Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles concealer*
I am also trying to go through this product. It is ok for me. I have my Bobbi Brown corrector (which I love!) in my collection right now so I won't use it until I use this one up. I don't want to have too many extra concealers or foundations lying around.
*CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Brown Smolder*
I love using this to fill in my eyebrows. Makes them look natural.
*Anastasia Clear Brow Gel*
I have heard many great things about this, and I want to see if it lives up to its hype. I normally use Maybelline's clear mascara, but let's see!
*Tarte Call of the Wild Eye shadow Palette*
Lovely palette. Review HERE.
*Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara*
Review click HERE.
*Tarte Amazonian Blush in Dollface*
*Tarte Park Avenue Princess bronzer*
This one is the shimmery one.
*Rimmel Scandal Eyes Liner*
In Black and Nude
*Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla Macadamia Nut*
*Revlon Lip Butters*
In Pink Truffle and Berry Smoothie
*Hard Candy Plumping Serum Lip Gloss*
This is in Uptown Girl. I am trying to use up this lipgloss.

Like I've mentioned before, it may look like a lot of product, but I don't use it all every day. On a normal basis, I will use maybe 8 of the 16 items. I also like to have two different lip colors and a lipgloss in my bag for when I am in the mood for a different color. 

What will you use this April?
