Spring = A Fresh Faced Look

With spring approaching there are a few things on my mind; getting rid of my pasty winter white skin and perhaps ridding myself of wind-chapped lips so I can wear lip gloss again?! Hooray!

Everyone has a routine they go through to transition from winter to spring. Here’s mine.

I’m obsessed with bronzer, literally…I get a little bronzer happy to the point where you can reflect light off my face. For a nice base color (that isn’t reflecting, only refreshing) I suggest Bare Essentials…you’ve all seen the infomercials I’m sure, but seriously, the sh*t works.

My skin always looks ridiculously smooth and makes me feel much more alive. So in order to finish off that Spring look, brush some Cargo bronzer across your cheeks and lightly on the bridge of your nose and you will look, fresh, springy, and much less like you’ve been hibernating all winter.

What looks better with a bronzed face than…..white teeth!! Along with different whitening products, GoSMILE has created a 5 senses toothpaste kit, with fancy flavors like: Aloha Tropical Smile, Ginger Cookie Smile, Mango Paradise, etc. I swear, they’re delish.

And to accompny your pearly whites, try DuWop Lip Venom…the tingling sensation means “it’s working.”

If you plan on going on a Spring Break trip, you probably plan on partying like its, well, Spring Break? And what happens when you’re traveling to Mexico on a 7 hour flight? Your hair will look nasty. So what better way to take care of that than (drumroll) Naturia Dry Shampoo.

Okay, I know some of you are grossed out by that idea, but ladies IT WORKS. It does all the work of a regular shampoo sans water, which means less time you have to dedicate to getting ready.

And whether you’re meeting your girlfriends for a drink at a swanky lounge or you just feel like kicking it up a notch, you MUST try Heavy Metal Eye Glitter by Urban Decay. It sounds so 8th grade, but it gives your eyes a bit of a twinkle without looking like you got carried away with the samples at Limited Too. It’s snappy and sexy.

Also try: Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow, Revlon Liquid Eyeliner and Benefit’s BADgal Lash.

AND! Don’t forget at the end of the evening to scrub all that bronzer off with L’Occitane’s Olive Face Scrub, take a nice warm shower and lather Body Butter from The Body Shop.

What products are your favorite for Spring?

    Does lip venom really work? Everyone please contribute your thoughts, I've never bought it!

    For some people, BE does NOT work. My suggestion before buying any makeup is to go to makeupalley.com and read some reviews. You'd be surprised. I use BE and in the winter in makes my face look cakey and makes my pores look huge. Mineral foundation is good for some but not for others.

    And I would suggest Everyday Minerals as opposed to BE (I can't use EM because BE fucked up my skin). They are cheaper, better for your skin, and have a lot more color options. Not to mention they have better brushes and will send you free samples. :)

    Interesting about BE?? I do think that powder/foundation etc reacts differently to different skin types, thanks for the input! and YES LIP VENOM WORKSSSS
