Shift Into Spring with Covergirl

Before you know it spring will be around the corner and I’m so eager not only for the warmer temperatures but also to change over to a lighter look.  I recently teamed up with Glam and Covergirl to share a spring look featuring Covergirl’s new natureluxe gloss balm.  I decided to share with you not only an easy look but also a few other key things I do to shift my look into spring.

  1. Fresh cut — The most refreshing and feel good thing I do to kick off my spring look is to get myself a new haircut.  To me hair is just hair and it always grows back (although I might just feel this way because I have the most kick-ass hair dresser LOL–love you Nikki!!!).  This year I had about 5 inches taken off my length and had layers and angles put in that I’ve never had before, but then again I didn’t know it looked great on me until I did it!  Disclaimer: Going with a drastic change to your do may give you new found confidence and power ;-)
  2. Own one trend — There is soooo much spring trend fashion overload coming.  Between magazines, blogs, and advertisements it can get a little overwhelming.  The way I deal with it is to focus on pieces that may seem trendy right now but can transition into classics in my wardrobe.  Below I’m wearing a faux-suede shirt with cutouts in white that I just recently purchased.  I can’t wait to mix it with different colored tanks under or paired with a sequined skirt.  Own one trend at a time!
  3. Find a new classic — This is the best time of the year to switch or give a boost to your daily beauty routine…..especially your makeup!

Face:  Fake that glow with a bronzer dusted to slightly under and on your cheekbones (a little down you neck and chest too).  Apply a bright pink to the apples of your cheeks.

Eyes:  This is when I totally switch over to shimmery eye shadows (not to be confused with glittery ones).  Shimmer can give the illusion of youth.  My go-to is a champagne shade in the inner corner and a darker bronze shade for the outer corner.  Black liner and black mascara.

Lips:  I love sheer glosses and balms in the spring and summer, they’re not as heavy looking and seem youthful as well.  I chose to use Covergirl’s natureluxe gloss balm here in Coral.  It’s a gorgeous orange color that goes on super smooth and surprisingly glossy.  The colors of these balms are very light and sheer and also include SPF 15 which makes them great for spring and summer.  To see all the colors go HERE!

About CG natureluxe gloss balm: Get the sheer color and shine of a gloss with the soft, lightweight feel of SPF 15 balm.  Fortified with mango and shea butter, this feel-good formula leaves your lips feeling decadent and delicious.

What do you love most about spring??  Which color natureluxe would get you through spring??

Lip Glace by No7

by Jenmarie of SHE-Style Through Her Eyes

Lip Glace is exactly what it sounds like. One of the smoothest lip glosses there is with lots of shine and sparkle. This was the first product I’ve tried from No7 and I absolutely love it! The lip glace color I’m wearing is Angel Cake. It’s a nude tint with hundreds of teeny tiny specs of glitter. It’s kind of yummy sounding, no? I have to say that the photo I took doesn’t do the color justice at all, but these might help out a little…

“Sheer non-sticky super shiny color with Shea butter to moisturize and Vitamin E to condition your lips”

As I was studying the tube for this post, I discovered this short and sweet description of the product for the first time. No wonder it’s so smooth! I’m telling you ladies, it glides on like magic! Who really is a fan of sticky lip glosses anyways? Not me! You can find No7 make-up products at either Target or Wal-Mart. Have you tried No7 before? What have your experiences been with this line of cosmetics?
