Target Spring Beauty Finds and a Springtime Look

Spring is finally in the air!  The air is warmer, the ice and snow have melted, and we can't wait to wear our strappy heels and airy dresses for spring.  Target has a host of products that makes us feel that spring is totally upon us.  Spring shades of makeup are also on Target shelves that depict happy, bright and bold colors that herald the coming of warmer weather.

Target has come up with a video that showcases beauty products to welcome spring in the brightest way possible:


Going to Target to shop for makeup and nail polish has always been what I call my "Me Time". I drop off my son to martial arts class, then I head off to the nearest Target to browse the new spring shades while I wait for my son's class to finish. I love how bright and totally saturated with color the Maybelline Color Vivids are. I like that Maybelline heard our clamor for really bright, fun and head-turning lip color. I also love how rich, vibrant the color is, and how it glides smoothly on the lips without creating patchy areas. I am honestly a fan of the Maybelline Vivids, so much so that I was able to collect seven Maybelline Color Vivids! Here are three of the shades:

Maybelline Vivids in Shocking Coral, Hot Plum, Brazen Berry

Maybelline Vivid lipstick in Shocking Coral

Maybelline Vivid lipstick in Hot Plum

Maybelline Vivid Lipstick in Brazen Berry

Swatches:

As you can see in the swatches, the shades are super color-saturated, opaque and very pigmented.  You don't really need to pile on the product; just a couple of swipes will really build up the color.

In this look, I am wearing Maybelline Vivid lipstick in Brazen Berry.  I am loving how pretty the pink-purple shade is.  It just brightens my complexion.

Nicole by OPI She's Lily Something over A Like-Haley Story

I am an avid nail polish fan and I firmly believe that if you invest in skincare and makeup for your face, you should not forget your nails!  Nicole by OPI has a lot of beautiful shades and different textures and finishes that meet every nail polish enthusiast's needs (and wants!).  Target carries the entire collection of Nicole by OPI Modern Family.  In the photos above, I used a combination of two polishes, Nicole by OPI She's Lily Something over A Like-Haley Story.  She's Lily something is a beautiful sheer pink base with pink micro-glitter and huge holographic star glitter. So girly and sweet.  A Like-Haley Story is a very springy/summery watermelon pink. What are your favorite Target Spring Beauty finds?

It's time for springtime.
