Hi there readers! Spring 2013 is quickly approaching, with winter going almost as fast as it had come! I'll be sharing with you all some of my favorite beauty essentials for this upcoming spring, guaranteed to make you fabulous and wonderfully confident for this season. :)
EOS Lip Balm
I'm aware these aren't new and are practically the hottest thing out in lip balms right now, but I myself am addicted to these little eggs! I absolutely can't go anywhere without one of these, and have bought both the Summer Fruit flavor and Sweet Mint. For spring, I'd recommend Summer Fruit, as it glides on easily and tastes amazing while keeping your lips beautifully hydrated and soft.
($3, Walmart stores)
Pond's Moisturizing Dry Skin Cream
If you're like me, you love having nice, soft skin. By using Pond's Moisturizer, you'll not only maintain beautiful skin but also keep it looking amazing forever! My mom has used this stuff since she was 16 years old and still uses it today. I love Pond's and use it as both a part of my makeup routine and as a night cream. Pond's is very versatile and has a light fragrance while not weighing you down.
($4-5, Drug stores)
Lush Cosmetics Sex Bomb Bath Bomb
Everyone around me is always raving about Lush and their amazing bath bombs, especially my best friend! I went into Lush one day and tried out this bath bomb and it turns out the flower inside their Sex Bomb blooms when you toss it in the bath! Not only is this super cool, but it makes your bath water smell amazing and makes your skin super soft very fast.
($6.95, Lush stores & online)
Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Polish in Frappe
This nail polish might be a bit pricey, but is definitely one of my favorites! It's a delicate pink color, a light pastel pink that I've grown to love wholeheartedly. You might have to apply several coats, but it stays on forever and looks amazing for any occasion.

Serious Skincare Glycolic Gommage Retexturizing Face Mask
Serious Skincare definitely make a winner with this mask! It's a lot more than anything I'd buy and was given to me as a gift, but I love this product. The mask feels like a clay mask and is a peel away one with a gray color to it. You apply it evenly across your face and sit back and relax while it tingles and fixes your skin, leaving it glowing upon removal. Definitely worth it!
($40, HSN)
Mia Mane Stain
While on a weekend trip to Miami with my family, I found these temporary hair color stains being sold at Urban Outfitters. I had previously spotted these while on winter vacation in Lennox Square in Atlanta, Georgia (best mall ever!) and was dismayed to see these were $10 each! Definitely out of my budget as a teen with no steady income. I was happy to discover these were marked down to $1 each! Obviously, I got all three colors and found that they give a strong color no matter what your hair color may be. Apply the color, brush your hair out, and you'll have a great color without the commitment of dye! Washes out with shampoo.

Forever 21 Patent Rose Makeup Bag

I haven't purchased these bags, but Forever 21's Rose Makeup bag is so cute I couldn't resist putting it on this list! I saw this in the store and absolutely fell in love with it. With an adorable handle and silky inside with a light pink background and dark pink rose pattern made of a nylon-like material, this makeup bag screams spring! It's also very roomy and ideal for any spring break trip you might embark on. It also comes in black too if pink isn't your thing but you still love floral. Practice safe makeup and buy this bag!
($9.80, Forever 21 stores & online)
Thanks for reading! Be sure to let me know if you've tried any of these and loved or loathed it. These are just some of my beauty essentials, what are some of yours? Thanks again!
