Makeup and Muses
♥ Nars Duo:
The Nars Highlighting Bronzing and Blush Duo is a great choice when it comes to Spring Makeup. For all you makeup muses out there, it would be beneficial to pick up this limited-edition duo, which features Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer.
The natural look of the duo will give you a glow this spring. Find it at your in stores or online at Sephora.
♥ The Romantic Twist:
The Romantic Twist is a great hairstyle that has been seen all over recently. It's easy to do even thought it looks a bit complicated.
This look was seen on the Alice and Olivia runway and was fashion by stylist Thomas Dunkin.
The back is the easy part, consisting of a typical loose bun held together with hairspray and pins. The sides are where the action is at!
Use volumizing spray and a center part to twist your hair at each side. Capture it all together into the bun.
The Romantic Twist is very feminine, which is great for the spring, plus it keeps your hair off your neck, which will do wonders in the summer.

♥ Go Matte:
Matte is where it's at! The matte lipstick trend is definitely still in effect and a perfect look for spring.
Nars, once again is on my list, as their Pure Matte lipsticks line will be another must-have in your floral or striped spring goodie bag.
The lipsticks manage to be highly pigmented, yet still very much matte. Be sure that before you put on the lipstick you dress your lips in a moisturizing balm. Remove the lip balm entirely before you start the matte process.
♥ Lipstick Designs:
This is just one of the many animal-inspired lipstick designs by Paige Thompson.
She calls it "Animal-ipstick" and she's created pandas, cats, bumblebees and many more.
Now, I'm not saying this is a "look for spring" or anything like that. I just thought it looked cute and fun, no?

Nars Orgasm blush is definitely a favourite of mine. & I adore the panda lips - sooo cute! The pic really made me giggle :-D
ReplyDeleteI'm not really into matte lipsticks unless it's a dark color, then matte looks often more elegant.
My look for spring is all about peach lips (well, I'm wearing them all year around...) & light & bright nail polishes.
Have a great vacation :-) xo
loving the hair twist and the animal lips!
ReplyDeleteI want to wear the panda lips tomorrow :)
