My Spring Picks

Since spring is on its way i thought i would show you all the makeup I'm looking forward to wearing during spring time in the upcoming months.
Starting off with base, i haven't had much opportunity to try out the Maybelline BB cream, i purchased this when spring had long gone at the beginning of September. Its had a lot of hype and I've only used it a couple of times and so far i really like it. Very natural and light on the skin which i think will be perfect for spring when the weather gets a little hotter and you don't want to cake a load of products on your face!
I love giving my face a slight glow,  it makes you look a lot healthier. High Beam by benefit is a perfect highlighter not too pink and not too white, they got the color and pigmentation spot on. 
Cream products are a essential during spring and summer! I love TopShop cream blushers, this one is a nice coral, in the color 'head over heels'. I also love cream eye-shadows, most of the ones i own are fairly dark and shimmering, i haven't used this one from ELF very much in the color 'candlelight' i think it will give a very natural but pretty shimmer on the eyes great for spring when you don't want to pile on the eye makeup!
Speaking of eyes, the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (the left hand side) is great for spring, the pinky peachy rose gold colors are really glowy and shimmery, you can create a natural or dramatic look out of them (whatever floats your boat!). A cheaper alternative which i also love is a bourjois eye-shadow (sorry don't know the color) its a very glittery pink, quite out of my comfort zone but placed all over the lid with some mascara it looks gorgeous!
On to lips! TopShop are one of my favorite brands of lipsticks, i haven't yet worn this bright redy orange in the color 'infrared', but i can't wait, i think it will look beautiful with a natural eye and face makeup and then a pop of color at the lips. Whilst on the subject of lipsticks, this natural pastel pink in the color 'secret admirer' is a great everyday color, just slap it on and your good to go! I'm not a huge fan of shimmering glosses, this natural collection one in 'fondant' is a very natural pinky peach, not shimmering at all, it just gives a slight shine. And last but not least the Maybelline baby lips in 'pink punch', these have had a lot of rave about and for a lip-balm this gives great color payoff, as well as moisturizing your lips.

Those were my spring picks, let me know your spring must haves in the comments and thank you for reading.
Cheerio!
