2016 Spring Essentials

Spring has officially sprung and since I first started my blog I have done a essentials

post every season. Because of this I thought it was only right to show you my

2016 Spring essentials. I think Spring is my second favourite season after Autumn.

This is mainly because it isn't too hot or too cold and there are pretty pastel colours 

and everyone just seems to be a lot happier. Plus little baby animals are being born! 

Moisturiser is key all year round but especially in Spring. I think this because

we're just getting over the extremely cold weather but we don't want 

out skin to dry out again for Spring and Summer. For my face I love the

Aveeno daily moistursing lotion and for my body I love using the Soap and 

Glory the righteous butter which is extremely moisturising and great for people 

who have super dry skin, and for using on your knees, elbows and ankles.

Since we're on the whole skincare topic I have really gotten into using facial oils.

The one I use is the NSPA deep hydrating facial oil. I love using this at night to 

give add in more moisture to the face. The reason I love facial oils in the Spring

is the same reason as I love using a really hydrating moisturiser - because

we're just getting over winter but we don't want to start neglecting our skin.

I love having a dewy look to my skin year round but I think it looks especially nice

in the Spring time. Mainly because the sun starts coming out and people

are getting slightly more tanned. Well unless you live in England! And the whole

dewy look really fits into the whole aspect of Spring. To give me this look

I love using the Loreal Lumi magique primer underneath my makeup and for

a highlighter I love using the Becca shimmering skin perfector in Champagne Pop

by Jaclyn Hill, because it is the perfect gold colour that isn't too sheer or 

too heavy and can easily transfer your look from day - night time.

Finding a lip colour that not only you like but matches the season can be quite hard

I think. However a few months ago Revlon was having a 3 for 2 offer at Boots

and I decided to try out one of their matte balms as it would be free. I picked up 

mine in the shade 225 Sultry. This is the perfect berry shade for Autumn

and Winter but also has the perfect amount of rose tones to be a great

transition shade from Winter to Spring time.
