April is almost over now and I'm back with another monthly makeup edit!

Base: This month I've been loving a relatively matte base. I apply the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation with my damp Real Techniques Sponge. For under eyes, I've been loving the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer. On blemishes I apply the Revlon Colorstay Concealer and I set the base with Kryolan Loose Powder.

Brows: Keeping the brow game strong I use my Sleek Brow Kit to fill in any gaps. I got this brow brush (with a spoolie at the other end) at my local beauty store for just Rs. 20!

Eyes and lips: Skipping eyeliner altogether, I just curl my lashes and apply two coats of the Benefit They're Real Mascara. On my lips, I'm still going matte with the Maybelline Lip Gradation in Mauve 1.

What makeup products have you been reaching for this April?

This month I've busted out my favorite Sleek Brow Kit in Extra Dark. I've been using it to fill in my brows and make them look fuller. Now I have been blessed with naturally full brows and I have been growing my brows for a few months now, but this brow kit from Sleek takes it to the next level for me.

I use a combination of the wax and powder, with a nifty little angled brush (which has a spoolie at the other end), that I got for Rs. 20 at my local beauty store! To set my brows, I just use some inexpensive clear brow gel to seal the deal.

I've been forgoing the liquid liner in favor of bold brows. What is your favorite brow product?

My hunt for the perfect daytime moisturizer came to an end with the Clean & Clear Oil Free Moisturizer. But on the way, I came across a few duds as well. One of them was the Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture SPF 15.

I have always had an amazing experience with Neutrogena products: I love their Oil Free Acne Wash and their Ultra Sheer Sunblocks.
But this one was a fail for me.

The packaging of the product is pretty good, I'll give them that. The moisturizer makes my skin greasy. Within an hour, I'm a shiny disco ball, whether I apply one pump of moisturizer or five. And that's not the only bad thing about this one. The SPF 15 moisturizer gives me a horrible white cast, no matter how much I rub the moisturizer into my skin. Rub, massage, pat, wait. It makes no difference. The grease and the white cast don't go away.

I've stopped using this moisturizer on my face, after two weeks of trying to make it work. I've given up. I'll just use it as a body lotion, maybe?

In the meantime, I'm going back to my Clean & Clear for day time.

A bath product that I've been loving this month is the Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean Bath and Shower Gel.

The glitter particles disappear upon lathering. I find that this gel cleans my skin thoroughly without stripping the natural moisture. I can skip body lotion in summer when I'm using this gel. The scent of this gel lingers on my skin for hours after my shower.

I really like this shower gel, especially in summers. If accessibility weren't and issue, I'd definitely repurchase.

One of the first brushes that caught my eye out of the Real Techniques Bold Metals Collection was the 301 Flat Contour Brush. I had wanted a flat contouring brush for so, so long and the rose gold exterior of the brush just sealed the deal for me.

According to Real Techniques, the Bold Metals brushes are made with the highest quality synthetic bristles. And it shows. The white bristles of this brush are very soft. The brush is quite dense, which allows me to pick up just the right amount of bronzer/contour powder. I use this brush with my Makeup Revolution Ultra Bronze to add some definition to my face. This brush really gets into the hollows of my cheekbones and helps blend the product really well.

Since these brushes are synthetic, they can be used with cream/liquid or powder products. I haven't used it with a cream bronzer yet.
This brush cleans very easily. I use baby shampoo.
This brush has a weighted, sturdy handle and the rose gold body makes it such a beautiful display piece at my dressing table! I'm head over heels in love with this brush and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in contouring. It will make your job so much easier!
