Spring Break, Put a Spring in Your Step

What better way to prepare for the arrival of the long-awaited spring than with a few astute additions to your makeup kit and perfume assemblage? Whilst winter conjures dark, secondary colour combinations and heavier perfume scents, spring and summer are all about vivid shades, and lighter, refreshing fragrances. It’s time to get some swagger in your step!

Here are four spring essentials to add to your beauty products: 

Spring Perfume. Think Pink!

A good spring perfume should, naturally enough, contain plenty of flower notes and a sweet, refreshing scent that accentuates your femininity. Spring is eau de toilette season, as the lighter, more refreshing effects of edt replace the wintry need for heavier, more concentrated perfume application in the form of eau de parfum. One of the best spring perfumes is Gucci Envy Me. Envy Me edt comes in a tall, slender flask decorated with plush, pink - patterned constellations that draw colourful associations of Japanese sakura trees in full bloom. A combination of flowers and sweet fruits, Gucci Envy Me eau de toilette opens its symphony with peony, pink pepper and jasmine top notes. At its tender core, heart notes of blue lychee and pomegranate reverberate with aplomb. Sandalwood, white tree and musk round things off with a smooth, creamy parting touch that echoes the vivid, plush, pink essence of the blooming spring. This is spring in a bottle, no less! 

Spring Hair

Hair shades stand out more in the warm colours of the spring as the rays of the sun nourishes the hair with replenishing vitamin D. Bring the best out of your spring hair by carrying a handy can of Batiste On The Go Dry Shampoo Blush in your purse. Batiste dry shampoo is the perfect companion if you don’t have the time to wash and dry your hair but would like to give it an effective clean and leave it in a glossy, healthy state. The fruity, flowery consistency of Batiste On The Go Dry Shampoo Blush is well suited to the spring and leaves your hair looking like it has just been washed. The Batiste dry shampoo series is popular with women of all ages and hair types, all over the world. Blush is my favourite, but check out varieties such as neon lights dry, tropical and cherry dry. 

Speaking of Blush 

Complement the effects of Batiste On The Go Dry Shampoo Blush on your hair with light pastel colours for your cheeks that will leave them matching the radiance of the spring. If you want a discreet, natural makeup look that can spruce up your everyday appearance, shine your cheeks with a beautiful sheen of pink with Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush. The ”Soft Murano” shade provides you with a satisfying pink glow that glows with a veritable feminine aura. Apply the Miracle Touch Creamy Blush on your skin using a finger or a sponge. Its soft consistency is both easy to apply and feels great on your skin. Why not spread some on your lips to give them a bit of tender loving care and spring colour? 

Spring, Sun and More Sun

I make the classic mistake of exposing my winter - bleached skin to the intense rays of the spring sun. An embarrassing shade of red and sunburn are not the ideal way to usher in the spring.
Avoid damaging your sensitive skin by using a good sun cream or a face cream with sun factor. Double up by protecting your eyes with a pair of shades that also add a factor of coolness and sophistication to your look. At Luxplus.co.uk, we have a wide range of products ranging from beauty products to, yes you guessed it, sunglasses. Our Clubmaster sunglasses are a pair of sexy shades with a retro design that add edge and swagger to your appearance whilst protecting you from harmful UV radiation.
