My Favorite Spring Beauty Trends

Hello my lovelies! Spring has officially sprung and even though the weather is not very spring-ish where I live at the moment, I am super excited for the wormer days! :) So it’s time to kiss goodbye to the dark, dull shades and to incorporate some color into our lives! With that being said, I decided to share with you my TOP beauty trends for Spring 2013! Hope you enjoy! <3

My Favorite Spring Beauty Trends: Products

1. So the first trend that I am obsessed about pretty much every spring, including this one has to be Pastel Nail Polishes! I love them sooo much! They are such a nice change from the dull, darker fall/winter colors and are perfect option for people who don’t feel comfortable wearing super bold, bright shades but fancy a little bit of color on their nails! :) I also love pastels so much cuz they are such nice, relaxing colors to look at and they always make your hands look super tanned, which is a huge bonus in my books! I will do a proper ‘My Top Spring Favorite Nail Polishes’ post soon but some of the shades I bought recently and I love are: Essie’s Mint Candy Apple, Fiji and Lilacism. An old favorite of mine that I also love for spring is Model’s Own in Lemon Meringue – it’s a lovely milky yellow color!

2. The next trend I love is the Bright Semi-Matt Lips! If we have to be precise the actual spring trend is all about the bright matt lippies, but since I have mega dry lips I tend to go for semi-matt finishes, which are not as drying! :)) I love the look if a matt or semi-matt lips so much! If you are someone who likes brighter, more vibrant colors on the lips, but is not as daring to actually wear them, a matt lip is a perfect option because it softens up the look a bit and makes it more wearable! My two favorite semi-matt spring lip products are both from Rimmel London and are: Lasting Finish by Kate lipstick in the color 16 and Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Apocaliptic. Both shades are gorgeous is my opinion and I highly recommend checking them out! They are super affordable, not drying on the lips and with colors like this you will be sure to make an impression! (:

3. Pastel Eye Shadows is something that I’ve been really excited about for this season. I am usually not someone who wears much color on my eyes; I usually tend to wear more neutrals but for Spring 2013 I decided to get out of my comfort zone a bit and try out some more colorful looks. I have a special post planned just on that and I’ll be showing you how to achieve a pretty pastel makeup so keep your eyes peeled for that! :)) But for now, I wanted to show you my Inglot eye shadow palette which I absolutely love and I think that its shades are perfect for creating a pretty pastel look! The light mint green and the purple are such lovely pastels that I’d love to swipe all over the lids or maybe put a bit just in the inner corner of my eye for an extra pop of color! Either way, I am sure these will be looks that I will be wearing a lot this season! :))

4. Neon eyeliner has been a huge trend this spring as well! Be it pink, blue, yellow or green I’ve been seeing it all over the magazines lately and I love it! I am not as daring to wear pink or yellow to be honest, but I love the look of pretty greens or aqua blues/turquoises! I feel like wearing neon/bright eyeliner is a fun and easy way to incorporate color into you makeup. Just remember to keep the rest of the face neutral and you’ll be good to go! :) I know that this trend is not in everyone’s taste but I like it and here are photos of me wearing both the green and turquois shades:

5. I am such a blush girl! I have tons of blushes and I love them all to pieces, but for this season I feel like my favorite blush trend has to be Pastel Peachy Cheeks. Since I will be wearing more color on my eyes this spring, I need to keep my cheeks more simple, yet fresh looking. The perfect shade to achieve that has to be a light pastel peach in my opinion. It is just the type of color that will brighten up your complexion and will be so natural and pretty without overwhelming the look. The one that’s been well loved (as you can see from the hit pan) is this Essence Silky Touch Blush in the shade 10 Adorable. It’s a really beautiful light pastel peachy color and it goes on so smoothly and for the price of $5 I highly recommend getting it! :)
