With their Spring 2016 makeup collection – From Lancome With Love the brand is definitely aiming at the younger audience with the playful illustrations, tins the products come in and pastel shades.

The promo image with blue and pink shades makes me smile and think of a beautiful spring ahead of us. It looks romantic and carefree, if you ask me. And we all need that…

There is a shimmering body oil, beautiful trio blush,  nail polishes, lip glosses, eye and lip liners and trio eye shadows. I will be checking out the blush and the lightest pink gloss.

Although I am not a fan of pink and girly style, I am totally loving this promo for Laura Mercier’s Arabesque Spring 2013 makeup collection.

It is very soft and feminine and, according to the brand, was inspired by by the spirit of light and movement. “From the sweet nuance of a ballerina to the fluid moves of yoga and dance.”

Soft pinks, lilacs, blues and neutrals look very refreshing and flattering, especially after the winter season.
