Spring in your step!
Jennifer Lo Hair + Makeup Artist
I don't know about you but I am so ready for Spring. I have already been filling up my studio with delightful daffodils and am loving this bright cheery hue! January was a long old month and like most of you I started 2017 with a health kick- asides from a couple of blow outs (one for my Birthday which so happens to be on January 1st). I am feeling pretty upbeat and positive though so...I thought I would share with you my Spring shopping vibes.
Spring is a time for beautifully blushed tones and lighter makeup and here are a few things I have recently added to my Spring Wish List, and it's not just makeup!
I love mixing monochrome shades and mixed metals in jewelry and accessories. Here are a few of my recent finds and I loves...
Olivia Burton Watch £90 Shop here
I need a new watch and previously had a Rose Gold Michael Kors, I thought I would want a grey strapped one however have totally fallen in love with this mixed metal one available on ASOS. It's white face and rim of rose gold makes it more delicate for a metal watch and it is not too chunky but still an elegant statement.
L'Credi back pack £24.99 shop here
These days I love using a back pack and this cheeky little beige/mink number caught my eye and I HAD to get it. Plus its faux leather but felt really good quality. This was in TK MAXX which is hit and miss and sometimes a real pain however they are available online so I'd jump on it straight away. It has a really good lining with extra internal pockets too. Who doesn't love that. L'Credi is an Italian brand that has been around for a long time, great quality.
'Unleash your inner awesome' T £13.50 shop here
I love a simple grey T-shirt but this one has a positive slogan on it! YESSS! Love this. It will go with anything but what I love is the fact it will attract P.M.A (positive mental attitude) from others and then yourself. Winner. Made by resilience streetwear from ETSY.com.
adidas nmd_R1 £99.95 shop here
My good friend Gill bought a pair of these in Khaki and I tried them on...love at first sight. Is this a common theme here? I had a browse and actually accidentally ordered the black pair, I think I wanted grey. Now in hindsight, it was meant to be and the Universe got me the Black. They are awesome. Comfy + Functional + stylish + wearable = 10/10 cool!
ARBONNE CC CREAM £31 shop here
Over the winter months I was wearing a lot more coverage and moisturiser as the bitterly cold weather was definitely taking it's toll on my skin a bit. I still love the liquid perfecting foundation by Arbonne but for a day to day look, I am switching to CC cream and there amazing pore minimising concealer, with a touch or mineral powder on top. Creates just the right amount of dewiness and coverage.
smoothed over lipstick in willow £22 shop here
The perfect nude! This is such a cool colour.... love it! and with this lipstick it stays on whilst keeping lips smooth and hydrated which never used to happen for me! Extra lip plumping effects too. Bonus!
