Picks For Spring - Eyes

Hello! I am back and with me I have brought my Spring 2011 picks for EYES. Now this is where I know some people are going to have to step out of their comfort zones, we get so comfortable with rocking a neutral eye that the idea of bright colors might have some issues. But I have pictured some affordable options to get you started, and while these picks may be bright but they are still wearable and not completely neon. But, enough of my blabbing and on to my picks. Enjoy =)

Picks For Spring - Lips

Hello =) The following are my Picks For Spring, Lips Edition. As shown on runways, NEON colors are going to be all the rage this Spring. Along with a few repeat offenders such as Coral and Orange, this season is sure to be a bright one. So don't be afraid to embrace some 80's inspiration and step outside of your comfort zone. Spring is the season to be bold. If you would like an in-depth review of any of these items, let me know. Thanks.

Let's start off with a color that is universally flattering..

The first picture is a swatch of Covergirl's new lipsticks- Lip perfection. The color is called Divine. An in depth review is coming soon for this product. This color is GORGEOUS for those who aren't afraid of a bold lip. The bottom picture is of the STAIN this lip color will leave on your lips, now whether or not this would be an issue is a personal preference. I quite enjoy having some color there when the lipstick has faded. The following pictures are the rest of my Spring picks for lips. =) Enjoy.
