I am sure I’m not the only one whose mind is drifting to thoughts of spring a little more than usual lately. All I need to do is see the word “April” and my heart skips a beat.

Spring is the time for rebirth; whether it be the beginning of a beautiful garden, cleaning your house top to bottom or some fresh new makeup for a new you!

{Guerlain Spring Makeup Collection 2016}

The Guerlain Spring Makeup Collection 2016 called “Spring Glow” consists of two exquisite products that give that bright, fresh and clean look for the new season.

Limited Edition: Ecrin 1 Couleur Longlasting Eyeshadow Silky Powder in 13 ENJOY

This is a new shade released from Guerlain for you to ENJOY. Not only is that the name of this happy new color but the word itself is actually written on the eyeshadow! Every time you open its darling little champagne colored case you can be reminded to enjoy the little things. Although the case is described to be a champagne tone, I would best compare it to more of a rose gold (very elegant and glam). The shadow is a buttercup yellow to brighten the eyelids making eyes sparkle. Included is a double tipped applicator which allows for precise application.

I am quite impressed with how much it wakes up my eyes after only a light dusting.  The result is just enough to make a significant difference and not too much to make you appear like it isn’t natural. Add a sweep of your favorite liquid liner and some mascara and you are set! I am all for simple makeup looks – ones that look beautiful, refreshing  and not overworked. This Guerlain eyeshadow definitely does the trick. This product can be purchased through the Guerlain Boutique & Institute and select Hudson’s Bay counters for $39, and is well worth it!

Limited Edition: Rose Aux Joues Blush Duo in 17 SMILE

This blush is a combination of satin red with a delicate pink to reveal all the pleasures of loving spring. When I think of those colors together I dream of tulips, then peonies, fresh air and sunshine. The scent of this blush is that of delicate rose petals and its case is a metallic red, which neatly slips out of a black velvet pouch. I really love the presentation of the product as I feel pampered every time I pick it up to use it! The color is called SMILE to recall the method of application—now that is genius! You are to apply a touch along the curves of the cheekbones with the very chic and compact red and pink bristled brush that is included. Once again the word itself is written on the blush as a little cheerful reminder every time you use it. This gorgeous must-have addition to your makeup collection can also be purchased through the Guerlain Boutique & Institute and select Hudson Bay counters for $73.

Beauty is more than skin-deep; so along with using such fabulous products remember to look for and enjoy the small blessings each day brings, sharing your gorgeous smile often! You do not know the difference you might be making in the lives of those around you with those simple gestures.

Here is to a Happy Spring!
