Spring is here- Oh My Goodness can you believe it, already? Of course with spring, also comes the seasonal makeup bag refresh! Every season- or every weekend– I always head to Target for life essentials- a new mascara, deodorant, cute new bathing suits, and a LONG and trust me I mean LONG list of beauty items. On a recent trip to Target I was wandering endlessly up and down the aisles checking out all the new, amazing items and brands they are carrying- hello Nuxe and S.W. Basics. When it got me thinking, we are seriously in spring mode, and I need to change out my makeup bag. So I thought what better way than to jump right into spring the right way that with five, yes you heard it correctly- FIVE easy steps to a Spring Beauty Bag Refresh #TargetStyle…
STEP 1: When it comes to great spring makeup, it is always ALL about the skin. Bright, radiant and beautiful skin is always in. So this spring make NO exception. I like to prep my skin with a great moisturizer like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer. Followed with a light layer of my favorite foundation for Spring- the L’Oreal Magic Lumi Foundation with SPF 20.
STEP 2: Brighten the eyes with concealer like the AMAZING Laneige Cushion Concealer. This stuff ROCKS, one part skincare, mixed with one part phenomenal coverage. This cushion concealer covers amazingly; color corrects, moisturizes, and brightens the skin all with one quick swipe of the cushion tip. I am OBSESSED!
STEP 3: Brighten up the rest of the skin with a bit of color and highlighting thanks to the Sonia Kashuk Sahara Sunset Highlighter in Arabian Nights. This highlighter is simply gorgeous! It is a multi-shade compact packed full of amazing skin perfecting shades and shimmer. Packed with an anti-aging formula, this highlighter increases collagen production and hydrates skin all while leaving the most gorgeous shade of highlight amongst the cheekbones.
STEP 4: Moving up to the eyes, this spring is full of gorgeous shades of bronze, smoked taupes, corals, teals, blues and nudes. Now it is no mystery, I am a HUGE fan of taupes and nudes. So I grabbed my trusty shades of L’Oreal Infalliable Pressed Pigments- these shimmery pigment shades of bronze, amber gold, and taupe are the perfect companion to gorgeous, highlighted skin. I added the L’Oreal Infalliable Pressed Pigment in Iced Latte from the lash line to the brow bone to give the eyes a nice brightening effect with color. Followed by L’Oreal Infalliable Pressed Pigment in Bronzed Taupe pressed into the crease and dragged a bit under the bottom lash line. Followed with a bit of L’Oreal Infalliable Pressed Pigment in Amber Rush, to give a bit of smoked bronze to the lids. Followed with two coats of my favorite lash plumping mascara.
STEP 5: For the lips I love a good nude lip for the day or a brighter shade for the evening. So I grabbed my Sonia Kashuk Sahara Sunset Shine Luxe Sheer Lip Colour in Nirvana– which is a beautiful neutral nude, that looks amazing on ALL skin tones and shades, followed with a light dab of Sonia Kashuk Sahara Sunset Shine Luxe Sheer Lip Color in Eden– a soft juicy pink in the center of the lips for a lip plumping effect.
There you have it, five super easy steps to a Spring Beauty Bag Refresh full of gorgeous skin, bronzed eyes, nude lips and highlighted cheeks. What are your favorite Spring Beauty trends?

Amber says
WAIT. WHAT? They have Nuxe at Target now? Too bad it’s so early and they aren’t open, because I’d totally head out in my pjs. Ok not really, but I’d go out as fast as I could throw yoga pants on LOL. I need to try and find the cushion concealer too. It sounds fab! Oh Target…just take all my monies. <3

I’ve heard AMAZING things about nearly everything Sonya Kashuk, and the L’Oreal Infallible line is on my must-try list for the same reason! I love how dewy and light this look is…great for a more natural beeline into spring!

You are completely gorgeous my dear! Like stunning!! I saw that highlighter when I was at the store the other day but I walked away from it. Big mistake!! I saw that they were going to be carrying the new brands, but I haven’t seen them at any of the Targets around me. BUMMER!
Kim Porter says
Very pretty look, Jamie. You know, I still haven’t tried anything from Sonia Kashuk?
