Today I wanted to share with you some of the makeup products that just make me feel like spring has finally sprung (even if it is still cold and grey outside...). For me, warm peachy colours really help to brighten up my dull winter complexion, so I've got plenty featured in this post.
First I've got to mention one of my newest spring must haves (I literally bought this yesterday, but I love it that much. Seriously, it's amazing) which is the Burt's Bees' Hibiscus Tinted Lip Balm. It has th same nourishing formula as their other lip balms, but it has a lovely natural warm pink tint. Unlike some tinted lip balms, the colour is true to the bullet and lasts really well. The cold winter weather really dries out my lips, so I love using a product like this which gives me the colour I want, but also takes care of my poor chapped lips.
Another lip essential for spring is a good peach or coral lipstick. I'm a lipstick gal, but a gloss could work better for you (if you have magical hair that doesn't get stuck in lipgloss). This Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Colour in Soft Coral is great as it isn't too matte, so it's comfortable and long lasting, with ought being too shiny and glossy. I think these warm tones really help to brighten up your face and give a more natural look, rather than deep berry and red shades that I love sporting throughout the autumn and winter months.
Onto the eyes! Lately I've been liking glowy skin, peachy coraly lips and simple eyes, to tie everything all together. A simple flick of black eyeliner is the perfect addition to any spring makeup look and this one from Soap and Glory is really good. Que story time: after my beloved Stila Stay All Day Waterproof eyeliner dried up, I looked around boots for something to tide me over until I could order another one. I had heard that the Soap and Glory Supercat liner was good so I gave it a go. LO AND BEHOLD! I actually really like it. It's not the same, but it's a really great drugstore alternative. This paired with a lengthening and defining mascara and the eyes are done! I got a sample of the new Benefit Roller Lash mascara, and I have totally fallen for it. It makes my lashes really long and separated, but I can also build it up for more volume. The wand makes it really easy to coat every single lash, so I get a full lashed finish. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
As for the rest of my face, a good peach blush helps to give my cheeks a fresh and healthy glow. This duo from Kiko is great as it is compact, but the blushes are a really good size. Plus it has a big mirror - a handbag essential!
I love a good bit of highlight to add radiance to my face, and this Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle by MAC creates a golden glow, perfect for a warm spring ready complexion.
Well that's all from me today, I hope you found this helpful and gets you all ready for spring.
Love, Rachel x
