Fall may be known for dramatic makeup, but spring is when you can really play with colours and textures.  This spring has a lot to offer for gals who like to glam it up.  Here are a few notable trends that caught our attention:


Don't even get me started on bright nail polish.  I love to wear yellows, oranges, bright blue or pink on my nails.  It's just so fun and can liven up an otherwise boring outfit.  Bright lipstick can be really flattering, especially on pale skin tones.  But if you find it too brash, you can opt for a sheer gloss, butter or tinted balm.  We love these colours:

Sephora by OPI Betsey Johnson Too Too Scented Lacquer in It's my Pink, $9.50
Lise Watier Gloss Aquarella in Rose Aquarella, $20
Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Teal Topaz, $19.95
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in Rossetto, $7
Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick in Orange, $6

Traditionally we have seen metallics in gold, bronze and silver shades but this spring it's in every colour!  Would you care to try:
