Using Spring as an Excuse

Since my trip to Estonia I have spring in my mind. This excuse in mind I did a small inventory in my makeup and picked up a few new pieces.

First was really a necessity as I forgot to bring a lip balm and the fresh but windy weather in Estonia made my lips terribly dry. I cant say I was exactly upset cause aint that a great excuse to go shopping. I ended up choosing the classic Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Nourishing Lip Balm but the formulation that has SPF 20 in it as well. As you can imagine this is pretty basic but good hydrating and protective balm. I think it will go into my travel pouch as its packaging is more hygienic than my current Nuxe Rêve de Miel balm. 

The Clarins Blush Prodige in Sweet Rose if from the brands 2015 Spring collection and has been in my drawer for some time but really there is no reason for it to stay there. Its very subtle yes but also gorgeously illuminating blush. This shows up natural and silky smooth and for the moment I'm super into natural looks so it comes so handy. The pallette has a matte warm rose shade with a pink undertone and in the corners are little blocks of slightly warmer and shimmery shade. So you can swirl your brush over everything and get a glow going on or just use the matte on its own.

Onto the perfume which is kind of new but I have started really wearing it only recently- Guerlain  Aqua Allegoria Limon Verde. Shall I attempt a short perfume description for the next post? I find them so hard to write but I think I'm up for another challenge so let me know if its something you want to read?

And then I passed the Mac counter yesterday and as per usual the willpower was nowhere to be found. I told myself I will only take a look because you know.. I am going to San Fransisco this month and that means hard earned pennies should be saved rather than spent. So I will only look at the lipsticks maybe, surely I'm not gonna want anything right? First lipstick I picked up was Peach Blossom a shade I was on the hunt for last year but seemed to be sold out constantly. Long story short its my new fav "this spring I'm so natural looking" lipstick shade. Its a hard one to describe as its nothing special yet I can not get enough of it. Maybe you go check it out next time you are passing Mac counter?

Have you bought anything that makes you happy for spring lately?
