Spring Favourites

Hello everyone.


Another Spring themed post today!  I know the weather is rubbish still but it is officially Spring so I'm going for it!  This post is all about my favourite Spring beauty products.


Firstly I have two nail polishes...



First on the left is the Barry M Nail Paint in Mint Green.  I know this is an obvious choice for Spring but there is a reason- its so pretty!!  And fresh!! And Springy!!  You can get Barry M products in pretty much all Boots and Superdrugs but if you prefer to buy on line then you can have a look here.  On the right is the Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Romance (£2.99 in Brochure 8). This is a really beautiful colour and would translate very well from day to evening.  They last very well too- 12 days is what Avon promote.  Not bad for a £2.99 nail varnish.

Next is a really great body lotion that I am in love with!


This is the Avon Care Fresh Hydration Cooling Body Lotion.  It has a really lovely fresh smell and is very hydrating without being too greasy or taking forever and a day to sink in!  Really, really lovely body lotion that I would highly recommend.  Its not back until brochure 9 and will be £2.40 or mix 'n' match with other products from the Avon Care range at 3 for £5.

The next two items are for facial skincare.


I'll start with the Avon Vibes Wake- Up Eye Roller which is the tube like thing along the bottom of the picture.  Its hard to tell but this product gently vibrates once switched on and is for tired eyes.  The new version has a different packaging which is green and white but the product is the same and is in Brochure 8 at just £5.  Its really easy to use- just switch it on and roll under your eyes.  I'm always slightly suspicious of putting anything electrical on your face but this is so gentle I didn't mind.  I actually find it quite funny to use because of the vibrations.  Just me... 

Above that is the Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It.  I use this every other night before bed and my skin has been really fab.  I cannot completely give this exfoliator all the credit for that but anything that gets rid of all the dead skin cells on your face is going to be good.  It has a nice refreshing smell to it and I don't find it too abrasive like I have with other facial exfoliators.  I concentrate on my t-zone area and just very lightly go over my cheeks so as not to do any damage.   

For hair products I just have one Spring favourite and I've mentioned it before so it will be no surprise to you.


Surprise, surprise its the Avon 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil Leave- In Treatment!  You know I love this and I know lots of others love it too.  I just smooth a couple of pumps on the ends of my hair and I find it makes my hair feel healthier once blow dried.  The nice thing is you don't need an awful lot so although its a small tube its lasts ages.  After the Winter months of heating, hats and windy days my hair needs some tlc!  Its £3.50 in Brochure 8.

Finally make- up products.



First on the right hand side is the Benefit Sugarbomb Face Powder.  I wear this nearly everyday as I find 4 colours in the box swirled together give a really nice glow to my cheeks.  Its matte so if you like some shimmer you may want to get some highlighter powder too.  Most department stores and larger Boots have a Benefit counter or you can order it online here.  Its quite pricey at £23.50 but I think its a piece of investment make- up that is well worth the splurge.

Then on the left hand side is a really pretty pink lipstick- Avon Perfect Kiss Lipstick in Pink Prance.  Its a pretty, pastel, rose pink and it has a lovely moisturising smoothing consistency.  Loving the mirrored packaging too.  All the Perfect Kiss Lipsticks are £8.50 or 2 for £10 with other selected make- up in Brochure 8.   

What products are you loving for Spring?  I'd love to know so please leave a comment below.  I hope that you are enjoying the Spring wherever you are.  I think if you are not in the UK you are probably having great weather so enjoy it for us!

I hope you enjoyed today's post.  See you soon!

Jen xoxo
