It's simplicity, with a little kick

Spring Essentials! 

Whilst my next big post is in edit, I wanted to share some of my essentials I am using this Spring!

Hydrating Moisturiser 

I always get dry skin around this time of year. The change in weather accelerates this and so every year, I look for a face moisturiser that will stop the dryness and make me skin look nourished. This year, I am trying out the Simple hydrating light moisturiser. I purchased this just last week and have fallen in love with it. Not only did I manage to bag it at a bargain price (from Superdrug - they have a brilliant sale!) but it is all I look for in a moisturiser! It is light, which means it doesn't sit on your skin, and it has a fresh feeling once applied. On top of that, it is kind to your skin and keeps my skin hydrated all day!

Vaseline 

For me, this is an all year round necessity however, in the harsh winds I use it more often. The best Vaseline for very dry lips is the Cocoa Butter one. It is long lasting and if you accidentally lick your lips it tastes good too. I usually apply this at least 3 times a day,
if not more. I always apply vaseline before applying lipstick and after taking it off. I find the best time to apply vaseline is right before bed, after brushing your teeth. I can guarantee you will wake up with extremely soft lips and make sure you are liberal in applying it!! 

Highlighter 

Spring is one of the best times to start experimenting with a more glowing make up look (if you don't already do this) because its a season of fresh looks. This season, my highlighter of choice is by Benefit and is called 'Girl Meets Pearl'. I love love LOVE this highlighter because it is so easy to apply and you don't need to apply a whole lot to get a glowing look!! If I use this, I apply it just at the top of my cheeks, along the middle of my nose (only very slightly) on my cupids bow and on the top of my chin. Do experiment with where you apply this and try and apply it where your face naturally catches the light.

DKNY - Summer

I love wearing perfumes according to my mood and this season, I found another bargain at Superdrug when I purchased DKNY Summer. I wanted a perfume that reminded me of summer so I was looking for something fresh, long lasting and not too florally. This is what DKNY Summer embodies! I got the 100ml bottle for only £22. Definitely worth it. I called it my mid-revision treat to myself! 

I hope these essentials have inspired you to build your own collection of essentials! Try out the products and let me know your views on them. I highly recommend each of these products for everyone looking for some essential cosmetics for Spring! 

All Love xoxo
