My Top 5 Beauty Picks for Spring

Hello Lovlies! I hope you used your tulips to kiss winter goodbye because spring has sprung! Time to break out those shorts and flip flops and of course update your makeup look! I have chosen 5 of my favorite picks for spring.

1) Daisy perfume by Marc Jacobs- with notes of Strawberry, Violet Leaves, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Gardenia, Violet Petals, Jasmine Petals, Musk, Vanilla, White Woods this perfume is perfect for spring! Sephora describes it as bright, eternal, and alluring. The smell alone is to die for! And also... who could not instantly fall in love with the bottle? I think I will go spritz my self with some now.....


2) Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Protective Face Lotion- I love this product. It is super moisturizing, all of my life I have had these little dry patches on my skin that feel like tiny bumps but when I tried this, they all went away. This product gives a very nice glow to your face. You really want to always use SPF to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer but especially when the weather is warmer and the sun is stronger your skin needs a barrier from the sun. When you first put it on it is snow white but once you rub it in it does not leave any white on your skin. This lotion is very light-weight and not oily at all.


3) Chanel Levres Scintillantes- I love these lip glosses! I remember when I was little and would sit on the counter wide eyed as my mom did her makeup I would always ask her to put a little bit of makeup on me and I feel like this was the one she would always reach for. Now I know that she would only put on a tiny bit (you could barely see it) but I felt like a princess! This lipgloss is now the first one I grab when I want to add a little bit of color to my lips. They are super moisturizing after they wear off which is such a great quality to have in a gloss! I love the sparkle and glossiness these add to my lips. I don't like that they wear off kind of quickly but if I toss one in my purse I know that I will be ready to go! I love the packaging of these glosses. They come with a sponge applicator that in one swipe gets enough gloss over my lips. Sometimes with other lip glosses I feel like I need to keep dipping until I get enough product. The color that I am loving right now is number 148.


4) Benefit Bella Bamba Boxed Blush- This blush is perfect for spring time! It is a gorgeous bubble gum pink color. This blush comes in a cute purple and orange box and contains a mirror and a brush. I found that the brush is really high quality and was very soft when I was using it. I had to take it out of the box though, because blush kept getting on the handle then the blush would get on my hands.... it was a mess! The blush itself is very shimmery and gives great color to any skin type. It lasts me all day and it is very blendable! This blush is the complete package! 


5) Urban Decay Super Curling Mascara- This mascara adds volume and length to my usually long but straight eyelashes. I don't think it really lives up to it's promising of "curling" but if you have an eyelash curler and you use that prior to this Mascara you are good to go! It darkens my blonde lashes, makes them super long, and thickens them. I am not going to lie sometimes this mascara clumps but I usually just brush it out. This mascara lasts for hours and hours! It is always the first one I reach for.


So there you have it folks! My top 5 picks for spring. Now that I have my makeup done I can go marvel at the beautiful flowers growing! =)
XOXO!
