Spring Trends :) What's coming our way

Hey Guys :) 

So, I have been browsing the Spring/Summer Makeup trends that have been hitting the catwalk recently on Cosmo magazine. Preparing myself for bright pinks and reds, I was surprised and a little bit off to be honest! 

I have seen a crazy amount of winged eyeshadow in dusky browns and golds ,even bright and dark purple! simple winged liner, green, pink and orange eye liner with a dramatic wing, in both eye line and water line! Twiggy inspired mascara (slightly clumped together lashes) bleached brows to heavy dark brows and completely natural looks with slight contouring! 

Personally I do like to keep my looks as simple as possible, favouring a smokey eye, lashes, liner and either nude or pink lips :) I find it very challenging to step out of my comfort zone, even though I know some of these looks would actually suit me or my family and friends! 

In fairness Ireland has only recently discovered the Kylie Jenner look! (God bless lip liner!) Even though we are one of the closest countries in Europe to America, why does it seem that we are so late in trends or adapting them. I sincerely doubt I am going to see some of my neighbours shopping in town with bleached eyebrows or Tiffany Blue eyeliner! We seem to have a look that we depend on and don't change. I for one know many that have adapted the 80's blue eyes and red lips and don't change it! Fair play to them I say!

SO, as part of my new challenge with my new "Streaky Face Blogs" I am going to try out some of these looks and hopefully give some inspiration to people that read them to step out of the comfort zone and have bright blue and peach eyeliner all over Ireland!:P (jokes) 

I just hope that it will give people the chance to see that the usual liner and lippy look you wear to work or on a night out might not be the only look that suits :) 

Watch this space ;) 

Here are some examples of Spring Summer Trends for 2015 :) 

Thanks for reading :D if you feel like trying any of these out, do, and let me know :)

I HEART SPRING TAG!!

Hey everyone! So sorry it's been forever since I posted anything, I've been working alot lately and I am currently off sick so I have a few moments to myself to write this for you :) 

The 'I heart Spring' Tag :) 

I will answer the questions and afterwards leave a list for anybody to do for themselves :) 

Thanks for reading!! <3 

1. Favourite Spring Nail Polish? 

My favourite has to be... the Penneys P.s range, and my favourite is the neon orange colour! I love this :)

It,s very different and really stands out :) 

I wore it on a night out, with a similar coloured bag, gold jewellery and a khaki green shirt dress. Sounds unusual but it worked!

Must have lip colour this Spring?

My favourite lip colour is actually something I haven't bought yet but I'm dying to ! Its Kate Moss's new Spring collection for Rimmel London. It's in the shade 020 and I just love it! 

My favourite Spring dress? 

Has to be this new dress I'm ordering off boohoo! So pretttttty :)

Favourite Spring flower?

I have to say I love when the Evening Primroses come out or the wild roses, love the smell of them!

Favourite scarf/Spring accessory?

This is a tough one! haha, ummm I'd have to say my wooly white scarf I bought from Penneys a month or so ago, because it's still freezing here :( 

What Spring trends are you most excited about this year?

I love the colours! It means Summer is coming, slowly, but getting there haha! I love seeing the change in dark winter colours to bright pastels in both makeup and fashion! Oh and seeing the colourful beach wedges come back in fashion :)

Favourite Spring candle?

I went through a massive candle obsession last summer, I have to say I haven't really bought much candles since but I love good old fashioned vanilla, it reminds me of holidays for some reason :) You can use a vanilla candle for every season really, that's what I love about it.

Favourite body spray/perfume for Spring?

Juicy couture Viva la Juicy, my favourite :) 

What is Spring like where you live?

Extremely temperamental, you could have a lovely clear sky one minute, get ready to go for a walk down by the pier or whatever and next thing you know you hear about red warnings on the radio for a massive storm approaching. You just can't tell what way it will be :(

Favourite thing about Spring?

It means my birthday is soon! haha 13th of April :)

Are you a Spring cleaner?

hahaha...haha...ha

Any plans for an upcoming holiday?

Not much! might be going for a small break away soon! 

That's it guys and gals! 

Hope you enjoyed reading and thank you again :)

Lots of lovage,

Sandy.S
