Spring Fling: Lips

The final instalment in my Spring Fling trilogy is ending with lips. I love me some good lip products and these are what I intend to be using over the next few months.

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipgloss in Glorious Grapefruit - This is a gorgeous lipgloss that has a hint of tint to it that means your lips look shiny with some nice colour to it, but not too OTT. It also means you can eat a good old 99 without having it smeared around your face (can't say the same for the ice cream though!)

Rimmel Appocalips in Stellar - If you want to make a statement this Spring, this is your guy. Perfectly pigmented, and fully opaque this gloss/lipstick hybrid really packs a punch on your lips. Application can be a little tricky, and it can end up on your teeth if you're not careful, but bold lip lovers, this is the one for you.

Bourjois ColourBurst in Red Sunrise - I love a good lip crayon and this Bourjois on in Red Sunrise just screams Spring to me. It's on the red side of coral which means it's great transitional colour from Winter to Spring. I used it in my Spring tutorial on Tuesday.

Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 110 - If you're looking for a coral colour that's going to stick around all day, look no further. Due to it's matte texture it stays put for a rather long time, perfect for BBQ season. The colour is the perfect colour and I love bring this out in the Spring.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Extraordinaire in Rose Melody - My favourite lip product of the moment. The same consistency as the Rimmel Appocalips, but a bit more moisturising on the lips. This nude colour is perfect all year round, but the slight orange tinge to it means it looks great with a bronze look, meaning perfect for Spring.

What are your spring lip choices?

Spring Fling: Eyes

When it comes to spring/summer I feel that bronze is the only way to go. Gold is a distant Christmas memory and I'm ready to go all bronze and goddess like (a girl can dream)! For me a bronze smokey eye is the perfect spring/summer smokey eye combo.

The Grab and Go -Ah the Rimmel Scandaleyes pencil is just so great for a quick wash of colour over the eye. The pencil application means it's easy to use and the cream texture makes it easy to blend out too.

The Base-  Maybellines Colour Tattoos are still something I love to use and this one is great for creating a bronzy base that holds and intensifies colour. Of course it looks nice on its own too, which is always a bonus.

The 'keeping it simple' - MAC All That Glitters is as gold as I go for summer, but it has a bronze tint to it that makes it perfect for subtle simple eye that still says 'I'm ready for you summer'!

The Summer Shade - Sometimes products have to take a back seat until it is their time to shine in a new season, and MAC's Mulch is definitely a spring/summer item to me. It is the perfect warm bronze colour that looks great in the crease or just all over the lid.

The Liner - Ah MAC Powersurge, my love for this is still going strong, and there is no better time to use this than summer. It's perfect to bronze up the water line whilst also working well as an all over lid colour too. Oh how I love this product.

What are your spring eye products?

Spring Fling: Cheeks

I decided I wanted to do a little spring series here on the old blog. I do love me a little series every now and again and the changing of the seasons allows the perfect opportunity. I'm going to start my series focusing on cheek products, tomorrow eyes and then Thursday will finish with cheeks.

The Bronzer - Okay, so this isn't necessarily a 'spring fling' as I love this product all year round, however everyone needs a bronze glow and there is no better product for it than this. There's a load of different intensities in the Clarins Bronzing Duo so you should find a shade that suits your skin tone perfectly. The shimmer in it is simple and subtle and can rarely be seen.

The Bronze Glow - Ah Nars South Beach is what started my multiple craze. I love this product, plus it's Millie Mackintosh approved. I love using this as a bronzer, highlighter and contour. It really is a multi use product and this is the perfect spring/summer shade.

The Cream Cheek - This Bourjois Cream Blush in 03 is a great spring shade as it is has just the right amount of pink to coral ratio to make it a great transitional colour. The cream formula is makes the whole dewy sunkissed look great and means it applies seamlessly. 

The Powder Blush - MAC Dainty blush is a mineralise finish which means it has a hell'uva lota glitter in it, but it's milled enough to not make it look like you've face planted a vat of glitter. For me spring says pink, and you can't get a prettier pink colour, that truly comes off pink, in a good way!

The Luxury Item- Everybody loves a bit of luxury in their life. This Chanel Blush is the perfect peachy pink colour that blends in well to your skin and gives you that perfect springs day flush. Plus, it's Chanel, beautiful enough just to look at.

What are your spring fling blushes?
