Top 3 Beauty Essentials For Spring

Creating a Fashion Forward Style persona revolves around creating a flawless wardrobe as well as stocking your cabinet with the right combination of fashion forward beauty products that will help complete your look.

Moisturizer

Taking care of your skin is an essential part of completing your look for spring. The winter months are hard on your skin and can drain them of the needed moisture to maintain a youthful appearance. Choose a quality moisturizer that will help replace all the moisture lost during the dry winter conditions. As you select a moisturizer look for one that will go on without feeling greasy or interfere with your fragrance selection. Also, consider the convenience factor when choosing a moisturizer. You want one that will dispense well and will go on with ease. If the bottle is too difficult to get the moisturizer out of or there is too much left in the bottle then you should another moisturizer.  I recently received a sample of Spray and Go by Vaseline from Influenster and it is actually the best moisturizer that I have tried in a long time. It meets all the criteria and dries quickly.

Fragrance

Spring is the perfect time to reevaluate your fragrance collection. During the winter most fragrances offered are heavier and are made with elements of musk. Spring is the time to branch out and look for fragrances that are lighter and have an airy quality. There are several elements that make a great spring fragrance. Items that contain a floral or vanilla base are a great choice for spring. There are two important factors to consider as you work to incorporate new fragrances into the mix. First of all, as you begin choosing your fragrance of choice, try the fragrance on and allow it to settle for at least an hour before making a choice. Each fragrance will react differently depending on your body chemistry, and the fragrance will change over time. Next, try to select at least two fragrance options. One option will be your everyday fragrance and the other option will be the one that you bring out for special occasions to give you that extra boost of confidence that you need.

Shimmer

Spring is the perfect time to find a great shimmer. A shimmer will help give the illusion of a tan as well as blend in any cosmetic defects that may be on your legs. Shimmers are my favorite because the coverage is thick enough to cover my uneven places, but light enough that the shimmer does not overpower my skin tone. I use it when I wear capris and shorts to provide the finishing touch to my look.

Now, its your turn. Which beauty products can you not live without?
