Spring & Summer 2013 Beauty Must Haves
Hey y'all! Now that the weather changing and becoming warmer, I wanted to share with you some of my Spring & Summer must haves (beauty edition). I know that ever since I started my YouTube channel I have been pretty absent from my blog and I want to apologize for that. I know that not everyone likes to watch videos or even has the time to let things buffer and listen to me chat away haha. So I just wanted to sit down and share my thoughts with my readers.
First is a staple for me when the weather starts to warm up and that is a bright lip! I love to add a pop of color on the lips and it definitely helps to make a statement. Coral is always a great choice for Spring and Summer as well as a nice Hot Pink. One specific brand and line I have been loving for a bright lip has been the Maybelline Vivids collection. There are a lot of different colors to choose from, a nice pink to a gorgeous plum color. The pigmentation is AH-MAZE BALLS!! I really like the moisturization that they give my lips. They definitely don't dry out my lips or even feather. They stay in place and look fabulous for quite awhile. The staying power rivals that of my MAC lipsticks. The price ranges from $6.00 to $8.00 depending where you get them. The cheapest I have found is at Wal-Mart and they were around $5.50 there.
Second would be a beautiful pastel nail color. I have already blogged about my favorite pastel nail polish and that is the Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear Polish in Lacy Lilac. It is a beautiful creamy lilac color that has amazing stay power and it is opaque as well. I have always heard great things about this particular formula from many different people. It hasn't let me down yet. You can go for the trend of NEON!!! I am lusting after China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy. It is the brightest neon pink but whenever I go to the store to get it....they are sold out :( Ultimately, you can not go wrong with pastel or neon for Spring & Summer.
Third is a nice dewy foundation. During the winter a matte foundation is probably the most flattering but once the weather heats up, it is all about the glow. You can add any type of liquid highlighter to your favorite foundation to add that glow to your skin. Just make sure not to add too much because you don't want to look oily. I would say that however much foundation you use, put about 1/4 of that as liquid highlighter.
Lastly, I wanted to add to my Spring & Summer must haves is to have fun! Warm weather is all about going outside or taking on new adventures. Just make sure to stay safe :)
as always <3,
Corinne
