The Spring Tag

[source]

Recently, while catching up with my skincare guru Caroline Hirons' blog posts, I came across The Spring Tag, which was created by Emily Hearts. Among other bloggers, Emily tagged everyone who wants to do this tag, so I thought it was a great opportunity to participate in the blogging community, and also tell you, lovely readers, a bit more about myself.

Before I dive in and start answering the questions, let me tell you that I LOVE Spring. I love everything about it - longer, warmer days, blooms everywhere, bumble bees busily buzzing among all the flowers, birds chirping, blue skies and warm Spring showers. I love the fact that we can put away heavy boots, woolly scarves and warm coats deep in the wardrobes and wear all the fun colours again. Speaking of colour, let's get to the first question:

1. What three colours remind you of Spring?

Fresh, vibrant green - the shade everything is turning under warm sun rays, sunny yellow of daffodils and clear blue - the colour of sky on a bright, sunny day.

2. What is the first thing you add to your Spring wardrobe?

Definitely a lighter jacket and shoes. And this year I'm thinking of adding a dress.

3.  What is the first item that you ditch from your wardrobe to make it more Spring-like?

I ditch the dark colours and woolly scarves. But,  since I live up north, it's not yet the time to get rid of your winter coat.

4. What are your ultimate nude and bright lipsticks?

I'm not a huge lipstick wearer and I prefer shear formulas to heavy, matte ones. But, as soon as Spring comes I pull out from the depths of my drawers, the Tanya Burr lipgloss in Chic and the Mac one in Just Superb. For a bright lip I like to wear my Bourjois rouge edition matte velvet lipgloss/lipstick hybrid in Frambourjois.

5. What is your signature Spring fragrance?

This year it is Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt.

6. What do you add or drop from your skin care routine?

I change products, rather than add or drop. I change my SPFs from 30 to 50, and change my morning cleanser to a lighter one - my favourite is REN Rosa Centifolia cleansing gel. Oh, I might use hydrating facial spritzes more often.

7. Do you change your hair up in Spring?

Yes, I like to add a few highlights to my hair to make it look more fresh and brighten up my face a bit.

8. Are there any exciting beauty releases that you can’t wait for?

I'm sure everyone of you has heard about the Charlotte Tilbury's Norman Parkinson Collection by now. I have a feeling it's going to be big. But I am waiting for the launch of the Pop of Passion lip oil balms from one of my favourite beauty brands, Bare Minerals. I love a good nourishing lip balm, and it's even better if it's a colourful balm.

9. What are your three favourite nail colours for Spring?

I have to say I am not an adventurous person when it comes to nail polish. I usually stick to what I like, so nudes on the fingers and brights on the toes. At the moment I like to wear OPI bubble bath or Essie's angel food and peach daiquiri. I do have my eye on Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in almond and huckleberry, though..
