Picks For Spring - Face

Hello and welcome back! As you can probably gather by the title, these are my Spring Picks for Face! Now since foundations, powders and concealers are so individual.. I figured I'd just focus on color - blushes. What you are about to see are cream and powder blushes, as well as highlighters. Remember, coral will be a repeat offender this season and is especially beautiful on the cheeks. Coral is one of the most universally flattering shades on the planet, so give it a try!
Enjoy!
And as per usual, all items will be listed from left to right unless stated otherwise. =)

1. Jemma Kidd Stain, Flush, Blush Concentrate in #01 Pose*
2. Sonia Kashuk Creme Blush in #02 Rosey*
2. Sonia Kashuk Creme Blush in #03 Blossom
3. Pixi Duo Cheek Cream in #1 Natural Rose*
*Corals

And here are the swatches... They are in the same order as above.

A closer view of the first three blushes.One more cream blush and a few powders =)
The thrid blush in (A Floral Affair) I found at the 99 cents store, so there is a possibility
that it may be discontinued.

1. Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in #200 Peach
2. Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in #125 Living Doll
3. Revlon Blush - A Floral Affair in #465 Pinking of You
4. Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in #131 Hula Hula

And a not so awesome swatch of these, but I try.



Now for some highlighters... I tried to include a few that would look good on a variety of skin tones, the one that would have to be the most universally flattering would probably be the last (the brown palette). I also like to use a few of the shades in the cream highlighter wheels as blushes.1. Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honeymoon
2. Hard Candy Spotlighters All Over High Lighter in #136 Pink Palette
3. Hard Candy Spotlighters All Over High Lighter in #135 Brown Palette

So those were my Spring Picks for Face! As usual, if you would like an in-depth review on any of these products, be sure to let me know and I will hop on that as soon as I can.
Thanks for looking, good lookin'.

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.
