Spring Make-Up Must Haves!

The lovely weather and the arrival of April have us feeling like caterpillars emerging from our cocoons!  And wanting to update our look for the new season with products that will make us look sun kissed, glowy and gorgeous....

We've been noticing different friends looking fabulous and have a few tried and true recommendations!

Our friend Jen sat down for lunch last week looking so stunning that it prompted us to ask if she had changed her make-up?  Her eyes were just popping- natural beauty enhanced and not make-up-ish.  In fact, Jen had just visited the MAC make-up counter and had a new secret to share- the MAC Paint Pots eye shadows.  You smudge them all over your lid for a crease-less eye all day.  Jen also loves MAC's Sheen Supreme lipstick and claims it gives you "the best nude lip ever."

Bride to be, Amy Taylor was looking fantastically glow-y and lovely over the weekend.  Her secret?  Dr. Dennis Gross and his Alpha Beta Glow Pads-- exfoliating self-tanner with anti-aging properties and Vitamin D!

Amy also is obsessed with Clinique's Chubby Stick in the color Whole Lotta Honey-- this seems to be a universally flattering color as it looks great on blue eyed, dark blond, sunkissed (thank you Dr. Gross!) Amy, as well as our fair pal Holly, a red head.

We happened to be flipping through a magazine and saw a profile on swimsuit model Marissa Miller and her beauty regimen.  Granted her genes help a lot, but we're interested in trying her favorite "anti-foundation," Josie Maran's Argan Tinted Moisturizer.  Lightweight with SPF and makes for a flawless complexion.  We love all of Josie's products we've tried and are ordering this on the double.

Our friend and actress Monica Young swears by the Soleil Tan de Chanel in Sunkissed for a subtle glow and highlighter.  What sold her on the product at the make-up counter was being told it is also known as the J Lo Glow-- yes please!

Also from Chanel, is our new favorite lipstick,  Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in "Boy."  It is moisturizing and has just a hint of pink-- perfect for Spring!

Happy Spring, be beautiful!! xoxo
