Spring has sprung

The last few days have been absolutely glorious and I for one am glad to see some sunshine at last! I don't even mind being woken up at 6am, because it is by sunshine beaming though my window instead of a horrible alarm clock. It's so lovely. Anyway, the burst of sunshine has made me want to ditch my heavier make up and go for a tinted moisturiser with a little splash of pastel colours.

My tinted moisturiser is one I made myself. Whenever I come to the end of a moisturiser or foundation, I just pour it into a pot - tada! My tinted moisturiser is born :) Today I decided to wear dewy skin, a flash pastel green on my eyes, pink glowy cheeks and lilac glossy lips, but the colours were more noticable in 'real life'. The camera seems to have washed me out a bit, but you get the idea! I think I'd have liked a brighter green on the lower lashline and also the lilac lip doesn't look very lilac here, but it was in person.

I used:

Concealer : Garnier Tinted Eye Roll-On

Blush : Benefit 'Posie Tint'
Highlighter : MAC Cream Colour Base 'Hush'

Brows : Collection 2000 pencil 'Blonde'

I dyed my hair dark blonde on Wednesday. Not sure how I feel about it yet. It's hardly dramatic but I kinda feel like it's washing me out a bit - like I need a tan or something. I am planning on either ombre-ing it or adding a few highlights, I haven't decided yet. How has the weather been where you are? Reaching for the pretty pastels yet?
