Beauty

the prettiest way to get ready for the summer

The 9 spring beauty items

Alright guys, it’s finally here. The sun has decided to start making regular appearances and so we’re finally able to head out the door to get a bit of color. This season it’s all going to be about a fun little pop of pink. The YSL spring collection is a dream color palette for your face and Chanel has also thrown a couple of bold colors into the mix. I’ve lined up the ten prettiest products for you that you’re going to want to have to get your ready for the summer.

1. Nude

Voilà, these two items are going to not only give your face a nice bit of added color, it’s also going to highlight your best features. A bit under your brows, a bit above your lip and you’ll leave your front door looking like you spent a day relaxing in the sun.
Diorskin Nude Tan Powder, €51,90 Dior

2. The all-in-one lip

The nutritious part of lip balm, the color of a lipstick and the shimmer of a gloss? It’s all possible in just one product. The Phyto-Lip Twist has the best colors for the spring. You can opt for a neutral nude or for a bold pink. Your lips will not only be well taken care of but you’ll give them a nice pop of color too.
Phyto-Lip Twist, €32,40 Sisley

3. Pink parade

How about we stay in the lip department for a little while longer. Giorgio Armani also has an intense color for the summer. Makes sense he went for the name ‘Eccentrico’. A lot of people wouldn’t necessarily opt for a pink gloss because it might be too ‘dull’ of a color, but this one is exactly the opposite. It’s a ‘what you get is what you see’ kind of color. An added bonus is that it’s not sticky for your lips, but feels like a soft velvet layer.

4. But a bow on it

I’ve locked this one up. I had to. If I don’t, the entire office is going to be playing with it. That’s how great it is. The perfect colors for nearly every skin tone, with just the right about of shine. Believe me, you want this.
Blush Harmony, €40,05 Chanel (limited edition)

5. Nail it

We kinda want the entire Chanel collection to be honest. Their eye palettes, lip color and all the new polishes for your nails. Our favorite? ‘Tutti Frutti’, not really a new comer, but definitely one to embrace for the summer. A color that is new is their ‘520 Garconne’. The perfect shade of nude. Sounds boring, but it isn’t in the slightest.
Le Vernis, €25,95 Chanel 

6. Pop-up

As you might already be aware of, I’m not to daring when it comes to bold colors on my lips. But every now and then I make sure to do it anyway. And when I do, I go for Clinique’s Pop color. This Sheer Lip Color works also works as a primer which will keep the color on for longer.

7. Flawless finish

Top off your makeup look with a powder that includes just the right consistency of shimmer that’ll get rid of any red blemishes.

8. Baby lips

If bold lips aren’t made for you, then what you need is this Dior Fluid Lip. A soft color that’s got just the right amount of floss. Same story here; if you’re worried it’s too boring, don’t be. Plus, it’s extremely soft on the lips.
Dior Addict Fluid Lip, €37,95 Dior

9. Perfect base

When these products made their way over to my office desk, I was over the moon. Maybe it’s because Guerlain’s little powder balls are my absolute favorite. Plus, just one drop of the Base on your skin and you’ll transform into a radiant canvas. Plus, the blush is divine. All your need is a tiny drop on your cheeks, smear it out, and you’ll look fresh faced and ready for the summer.
