5 Springtime Essentials

Spring is trying to make itself known, what with the intermittent sunshine and 40 degree weather (in New England). Maybe it’s still March after all but now is the perfect time to start packing your spring beauty bag. Here are five essentials that you should carry in your purse at all times this season:

1. Highlighter: To brighten skin and bring out your natural radiance, use a powder highlighter like L’Oreal’s Glam Bronze All-Over Loose Powder Highlighter in Alluring Shimmer. Dust the powder above your cheeks to accentuate bone structure and intensify your eyes, or on the shoulders and decolletage for a heavenly glow.

2. Waterproof mascara: Do not leave home without this product, especially now that temperatures are rising. Leave it to Maybelline, notorious for offering the best mascara in the business, to keep you smudge-proof in spite of heat and humidity. This award-winning product comes in four different variations of black and brown.

3. Nude lip: This natural lip gloss in nectar nude, by Burt’s Bees, gives a barely there feel with dramatic results. It’s the perfect finish to your fresh face.

4. Shimmery hair: Bed Head Girl Toys Shine Serum reflects natural light and adds multidimension to monotone hair colors. Dull strands appear healthy and sunlit by applying one pump to damp hair before styling. This product can be used by girls and boys, by the way, despite the title.

5. A fun hair accessory: A hair clip like this one, by Elements, is decorative yet sophisticated. It can be used to secure hair in a half-ponytail or to dress up a sleek, low bun, adding a hint of flirtation to any style. You can also attach the clip to a basic blouse for a precious springtime accessory.
