We had a taste of Spring a couple of weeks ago. Everything was budding, the grass was becoming greener & we were happy as could be with all the sunshine. Then April came & brought a dose of Winter with it. It has been gloomy & freakishly cold, but Hallelujah it's going to be in the 70's later this week/weekend!
We all know that once the cold weather is gone we whip out a more "structured" beauty routine. I know for me, once the warmer weather graces us with it's presence, I tend to wear far less makeup & go to basics once my skin gets some color. So, I thought I would share with you my favorite beauty items!
Olay Day & Night // Jergens Natural Glow // Maybelline Mascara // Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse // Herbal Essence Dry Shampoo
I have always used Olay lotions & absolutely love them. I've tried others along the way, but always come back to the original Olay lotion. I put it on every morning before I put makeup on & it is so light weight and never leaves my skin feeling greasy. A few years ago I began using their original night cream & love that just as much!
Jergens Natural Glow has definitely been a Spring staple for me. I really like it & it's easy to apply without leaving any color on your hands. It's a gradual tan which I really love as well. I typically only apply it to my legs & arms in the Spring until I get an actual tan. Another benefit is it has a firming element to it!
Maybelline makeup has always been my favorite. It works well for my skin & they are affordable. For the most part I either wear no foundation at all or very little just around my eyes throughout the warmer months.
We all know the supposed benefits of not washing your hair on a daily basis. I guess unfortunately for me, I do wash it daily throughout the week. BUT... I will go two days on the weekend without washing it & for me that's good enough. Now that my hair is much, much shorter I will reach for a dry shampoo to give it some volume since it falls so flat. I'm sure there are better brands out there, but this is far cheaper & since I don't use it too often I don't want to spend a lot of money on it.
Other favorites I use on a daily basis are these makeup remover cloths (they make my skin sooo soft) & this lip balm (in "cupcake" - it smells amaze balls). Also, I thought I'd share a little beauty tip I read a while ago & I really believe it has worked for me. It's important to allow your skin time to breathe. For about a year now, I go without my facial lotions on the weekends & I try to go at least one day without makeup at all, two if I'm lucky. My skin has been so clear since I started doing this & all around feels better! :)
What are your Spring beauty favorites you can't live without!?
