As I come to the end of the Spring Scents feature, I’m wondering what the distinction is between scents that are good for spring vs. good for summer. As I ponder that thick question, below are some more recommendations.

L to R clockwise:
PADDYWAX Jasmine Candle from the Garden Crush Collection ($13/6.5oz @ paddywax.com)
CARESS Whipped Souffle Body Wash in Peach Cream ($6.49/15oz @ drugstore.com)
THE SOAP & PAPER FACTORY Oil Diffuser in Jasmine ($32 @ soapandpaperfactory.com)
THYMES Triple-Milled Soap in Naia ($14/8oz @ thymes.com)
CHLOE Eau de Fleurs – Lavande EDT ($135/3.4oz @ nordstrom.com)
THE BODY SHOP Spa Wisdom Polynesia Monoi Moisture Balm ($24/6.77oz @ thebodyshop.com)

Here’s what I was wearing this week on my lips!

 

From L to R:

CHANEL Coco Rouge in Cambon ($30 @ chanel.com) – a pinky red.
THE BODY SHOP Lip & Cheek Stain in 02 ($14 @ thebodyshop.com) – copper shimmer.

When I’m walking down the street or in the mall and see someone with a pop of color on like a shirt or bag, I always end up saying in my head, “That looks cool. I gotta get me something in that shade.” And I do make an effort but I find myself gravitating back to the blacks and beiges. Why is this? I mean a pop of color always feels so fun and right. One area I seem to be successful in adding a pop of color to is my makeup routine. Lips or eyes or cheeks, why not add one of the colors of the season, coral to your look?

Here are some more picks in the on-going Spring Color Picks feature. Consider picking up any of these.

From L to R clockwise:

JAPONESQUE Eye Majic Instant Eyes in Slate Coral ($6/2 pair @ beauty.com)
MAC Nail Lacquer in Coral Wave ($14 @ maccosmetics.com)
HARD CANDY Painted Lady Lipstick in Hot Shot ($6 @ walmart.com)

We’ve been so caught up in the Holidays that we’re a little late on our last color pick of the season, Metallics. They are hot and my favorite feature to play up has to be the eyes and my other … you’ll see tomorrow.

The Internet is just not the place to see the powerful effects of metallic and metal colors like gold and silver. You just can’t get the intensity and luster of a color. And do glitter products count under the metallic umbrella? It’s tiny metal-like pieces, right? We could have gone crazy with the glitter products but only a few really qualified for this piece so here are some suggestions to check out in person.

1. BLACK RADiANCE Loose Shimmer Shadow in Sunset Sparkle $2.99 @ walgreens.com

Any cosmetic colors in the metallic family seem to automatically get my attention. THE BODY SHOP’s Special Edition Autumn Color Collection Fabulous Metallics is all things shimmering and seductive. From eyes to cheeks to lips, they’ve got shades for them.

Precious Rouge in Lavish Pink – flirty medium pink ($14.50)

Special Edition Shimmer Smudgers in Etched Brown - a rusty bronze with iridescent pink pearls ($18.50)

I consider greens, as in mossy greens, a very neutral color. They are so earthy, warm and natural that they could take the place of nudes in most cases. Olive, tarragon, and the creatively named products below, all make up our 2^nd Fall Color Pick, Mossy Green.
The way I’m thinking about this piece is if I were to paint a picture of moss using different shades and textures, which ones would I use? Here are our picks to make up our portrait:
