So it may not seem like it, but yes, spring is in fact here! And now it is spring, it's inevitable to go all out with pastels, so here is my spring edit of some products that I think are great this spring.
Stila Convertible Colour for Lips and Cheeks in Lillium
I bought this as recommened by Marlena (Makeup Geek) -- she used this in a tutorial, I think, and maybe did a review, haul or recommendation too...? This is such a gorgeous colour for spring and the best thing is is that it pretty much suits every skin tone (if you are fair though, you'll want to apply it lightly). Cream blushes are great for spring and summer time because it gives a dewy glowy finish to the skin which is very wanted this season, and this one stays dewy and doesn't set to a powder finish.
Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Lover
Peach is the perfect blush colour for spring, and Illamasqua's 'Lover' is perfect for this. Illamasqua's blushers are very highly pigmented and have a really smooth formulation. These blushes are so pigmented and so lovely -- they even smell nice. This is actually the only Illamasqua product that I own but I will definitely be buying more! They are so pigmented and this shade here (which they describe as 'soft apricot') is the perfect spring/summer colour. This would work best on fair to medium skin -- it may look ashy or not show up on darker skin tones).
The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter
This is probably The Body Shop's nicest scent in terms of body butters because it smells like real strawberries, and not artificial strawberries because I hate that scent/taste.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous
These are the dupes of the Clinique Chubby Sticks, and this orange-coral shade is the perfect colour for summer, but without it being so in-your-face orange or coral (like MAC Morange or Lady Danger). I think this is so great for spring because you get a nice pop of colour without it being too bright and in-your-face, and it is also a balm so is quite moisturising for the lips! Though the balm-feeling on your lips doesn't stay for hours and hours, the colour actually does as it acts as a lip stain and balm.
MAC Lipstick in Ravishing
Like the Illamasqua blush, this is also peach toned and so perfect for spring! It can also take you through to summer too because it is an orange toned peach. The finish is quite glossy (in MAC terms it is a cremesheen).
MAC Lipstick in Pink Plaid
Another perfect spring shade because it is a medium pastel pink. As it is a matte finish, it doesn't need a lip liner and lasts for ages.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Pink-Gold
This is also a shade that works well on every skin tone like the Stila cream blush -- I mentioned this in my drugstore essentials post and I did a review post on them. These are so quick and easy to wear, as you can just blend some all over the lid with your finger, add some mascara and you're good to go. A great quick fix product for people on the go -- busy mums especially! I think these are great for summer because this colour especially is a lovely colour that isn't too light and isn't too dark, they only have minimal crease-age, and they are waterproof and so they really don't budge!
Barry M Nail Paint in Mint and Peach Melba
These two shades just scream spring because they are just classic spring colours!
