Spring officially begins in two days, YAY! With the changing of the seasons comes a ton of new makeup releases. It can be hard to keep track of them all, so to make things a little easier, here is a list of some products that I think are worth trying!
WHAT I RECOMMEND
1) NYX Prismatic Eyeshadows – These affordable shadows are creamy, pigmented and come in a variety of shades that are perfect for spring. My personal favorites are Mermaid and Golden Peach, see swatches here!
2) ColourPop Super Shock Cheek Blushes – The unique cream texture of these blushes, paired with their soft color payoff, makes them perfect for Spring. There are a ton of beautiful shades available, and at $8 a pop it’s hard to choose just one!
3) YSL Rouge Volupte Shine – I’ve mentioned these lipsticks about a thousand times, but I just love how hydrating they are. My favorite shade for spring is #15 Corail Intuitive. It’s a warm peachy nude that goes with any look!
4) NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation – Formulated to withstand humidity, this natural looking foundation is the perfect choice for the warmer months. It feels light on the skin and it leaves behind a gorgeous glow. You can read my full review here!
5) Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Bikini-tini – When the temperatures soar, I prefer a quick wash of color on my lids. Cream shadows, like this one from Benefit, are great because they are opaque enough to wear on their own and they last all day without creasing or fading!
WISH LIST
1) YSL Volupte Tint-In-Oil – Because I love the YSL lipsticks so much, my heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw these new oil based lip glosses. They are so supposed to be really hydrating and shiny with a hint of color, which sounds perfect for spring!
2) Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed (Limited Edition) – This gorgeous copper blush can be used all over for a summery glow, or it can be used on the cheeks for a bronzed effect. The shade is probably too dark for you porcelain beauties, but it would be stunning for those with medium to dark skin tones.
3) Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water – Although spring weather is great for the soul, warmer temperatures can cause makeup to meltdown. A setting spray, like this new one from Smashbox, will help keep foundations in place and can give your blushes longer lasting power.
4) Stila Exclusive Convertible Color Palette – Does it get any better than a palette full of Stila Convertible Colors?! 😆 If you haven’t used these before, they are cream colors that can be used on your cheeks or lips for long lasting color. The effects are soft for a “just left the gym” sort of flush.
5) Too Faced Sugar Pop Palette – Oh Too Faced, you get me every time. If these shadows are anything like their others, the are smooth, pigmented and a dream to blend. The mixture of pastels and brights makes this fun palette perfect for spring time looks!
What items are on your wish list this spring? I’d love to know!

Love those YSL lippies, they’re so creamy and comfortable to wear xxx
I almost wish I didn’t like them so much, paying over $30 for a lipstick is never fun! lol 😉
Haha that’s very true, I have a Chanel lipstick addiction but they’re about £26 over here! xxx
I don’t own any Chanel lipsticks, but I have a feeling I would love them!
That Smashbox primer water sounds incredible!
Doesn’t it?! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Love your recommendations, those are some pretty shades! Perfect for spring
So glad you liked them! 🙂
Great recommendations! I want to get something/anything from ColourPop and the matte palette from Too Faced plus the Champagne palette from Lorac
The matte palette from Too Faced looks great! If I didn’t just get the Tartelette palette, I would so get it!
Definitely would love to get the Too Faced palette, so pretty! x
Mummy’s Beauty Corner
The color combos are so pretty, Too Faced never disappoints!
I wish that Stila Palette was not exclusive. Your picks are mouth watering! xxx
So glad you liked them! 🙂
That Too Faced Palette is gorgeous!! I’ve got my eye on it for sure! I’d also have to add the new NARS Dual Intensity Blushes!!
Oooh, yes I just saw those the other day! I can’t wait to see some swatches of them!
I want every single item off your wishlist! The Too Faced palette in particular! I saw the Stila palette in person and it is beautiful indeed!
I would love to swatch the Too Faced palette, the shades look so beautiful and vibrant!
The color pop blushes are super cute and I definitely am with in needing the Too Faced palette!!
The ColourPop blushes are so unique, they have a squishy texture and leave behind the most subtle wash of color!
Ahhh there are those Colourpop blushes and that Primer Water again <3 I seriously need to start a birthday wish list, lol.
The primer water is seriously calling my name, and I just ran out of my UD setting spray so I’m running out of excuses to try it lol
I am definitely going to get the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless foundation. I love my Sheer Matte but this sounds better for the humid months ahead.
The finish of it is so natural too!
I’ve seen you wear those YSL lipsticks a lot and they always look great on you. Their new Tint in Oil got my attention too!! Also, That Stila palette looks amazing! There is SO many colors in there and a little bit goes a long way. Im in love!
I almost feel bad for all the other lippies in my collection because I so favor my YSL shades. I haven’t seen the Stila palette in person yet, but I have a feeling I will buy it the second I see it! lol
I have been eyeing that palette from Too Faced, but I know I won’t use it. I love Macarons so I know it’s all about the packaging for that one. I have a lot from Colour Pop but have yet to try the blushes. I was using their shadow Cheeky as a blush for almost a year, since I bought it last year and enjoy it. 🙂
Ooh thanks for the tip, I’ll have to buy that shadow and see how it works on the cheeks! Too Faced palettes always suck me in, the shades in this one look so fun!
I loved your wishlist, the primer and the TF palette are right up my alley! 🙂
So glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
Love the look of the Color Pop cheek blushes! Have not heard of the brand! http://www.Anonymousmodeaparis.com
They are really affordable too! 🙂
I’m already lusting after Too Faced new collection and these NYX singles look so pretty. And Color Pop blushes <3 I'm very tempted to go get some makeup now 😀

You’ll have to let me know what you pick up! 🙂
Sooo many gorgeous things! I really want to try the NARS foundation and YSL gloss! xx
You can’t go wrong with YSL lip products! They smell heavenly too!
The Too Faced palette would definitely be on my wish list too, their stuff is just so lovely! x
I agree, it’s one of my favorite makeup brands!
I want….EVERYTHING! Such pretty picks!
The struggle is real, I want it all too lol 😉
You can never go wrong with a YSL lipstick, I love them x
Definitely! I would have every shade if I could afford it! 😉
i love the look of the cheek blushes. i really want to try colourpop but not sure where to get it in the uk
Your wish list could essentially be mine…I love every single product you’ve picked out! And I’m definitely going to pick up a Colour Pop blush and Nyx shadow, because I’ve heard such great things and they’re so stinkin’ affordable! Gotta love that for some makeup spring cleaning (:

OH MY GOD. That Stila palette is actually everything I need in life. Also, that Too Faced palette looks really cute. I could use some more fun eyeshadow colors. Julie, you’ve done it again! You’ve made me want things!
I love the look of the Stila palette, I just can’t decide if I need it or not. haha
i’m considering getting the NARS Weightless Foundation. I got a sample in advance of the VIB sale and although the shade isn’t a perfect match, I really like the foundation. I may also spring for the CoverFX Drops
