It’s official: Spring is finally upon us. While we are no doubt happy for the added
sunshine and noticeable rise in temperatures, neither seems to stick around
long enough to require any major changes be made to our daily beauty routine. Still, with winter drifting quietly away and summer
lingering just over the horizon, there are a few key tricks and trends that one can
embrace to keep pace with this transitional season. Below are five must-have products for Spring
2013:
1. Le bébé Coo Wet Wipes

soothing ingredients like chamomile and witch hazel (which helps to reduce inflammation),

clean-up pre and post work-out.

Did someone say polish change? Ditch the dim hues you've been clutching
for colder weather and pick-up one of these pretty pastel lacquers. You can swipe on a whole new attitude in all
of five minutes (just be sure to allow ample drying time!).

5. Nars Illuminator

Although a deep dark tan is still best applied during the summer
months, no one wants to look like they’ve been hibernating all winter now that
the flowers are finally in bloom. Rather
than piling on the self tanner or opting for a darker shade of foundation
before its truly necessary, try mixing a bit of bronze illuminator into your
liquid foundation or applying a dab of this bottled up miracle to your
cheek-bones, fore-head and jaw-line. You’ll look fresh as a daisy - no need
to mention how little effort it actually took.
