Spring is finally here....

I love spring, mainly because I am a huge fan of Easter egg chocolate (it just tastes so much better than any other kind) but I digress...


You can always tell when Spring is here by the following things:


1. There are gorgeous daffodils everywhere.


2. The tube starts to feel a little bit stuffy


3. I swap my blushers for bronzer.


Yes, when the sun comes out I change my beauty habits.


Since I ditched my sunbed habit a couple of years ago for a much paler and more natural look I reserve the bronzer for the spring and summer months only when our faces naturally become a little darker anyway.








I swear by my Dior bronzer and their bronze higlighter for a subtle sunkissed look that is just enough that you don't look orange but dark enough that you don't look washed out.



They are quite pricey at £28 and £31 respectively but I have never used products that I love the colour of so much before.

Are their any products you can't live without this spring?

Time for a Spring Clean

March is the perfect time to start spring cleaning your home, your wardrobe and most importantly your make up bag. So, out with the old and in with the new.



Out

  • Berry shades
  • Thick matte foundation
  • Heavy eye make up and false eyelashes
In
  • Dewy skin
  • Peach blusher
  • Easter egg pastel eye shadows
  • Sugary pink lipsticks
  • Citrus bright glossy lips





I love this Givenchy Crystal lip gloss in shade #405 "Pop Orange" priced at £22.50. It glides on beautifully for a really thick glossy look.

Try with fresh dewy skin and a slick of black mascara for a pretty day time look. Or for a more statement evening look try with matte skin and a contrasting pink blusher and black lined eyes.

I think blondes and red heads should be careful with this look, however, you never know unless you try!
