I Got Spring Fever
Are the crazy winter temperatures driving you to think warmer, spring-like thoughts? March’s arrival looks promising — Daylight Savings Time is less than two weeks away, and spring starts Sunday, March 20th. Easter, St. Patty’s Day, and the Philadelphia Flower Show (this year’s theme being the centennial of the National Park Service) are giving me spring fever.
The warm temperatures during last weekend’s trip to New York City prepared me to shed my old winter coat and kickstart spring with my new walking shoes. While in Manhattan, those glittery heels wouldn’t allow me to walk by Sephora. The store was calling my name to come in and explore the fresh spring beauty colors and products. I couldn’t resist!
No one needs to twist my arm to enter a beauty store, especially Sephora or Bergdorf’s beauty floor.
I guess you can say I’m addicted to beauty. At Sephora, my beauty rewards status recently reached significant beauty status! Woohoo!
Sephora had a plethora of facial masks to consider. Since my concern is my oily skin, I focused on masks that relieved my adult acne-prone skin.
I’m looking forward to trying Sephora’s Green Tea Eye mask. One of the first signs of aging is under the eyes, especially if you suffer from allergies like mine. The Bosnia Pore-Minimizing Hydrogel mask should perfectly fit my oily skin. The charcoal ingredient is excellent for drying up excess oil and calming down those sebaceous glands that occasionally get out of whack.
I love to try new facial cleaning products. I still get my 6-8-week HydraFacials. However, my regular at-home routine includes a great cleanser: Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Cleansing Butter. So far, my skin loves the extra hydration, making it feel smooth.
Primers and blot sheets always work wonders for my skin. I no longer have shine in the middle of the day, and my foundation seems to last longer. The Tatcha blot sheets are fab, too. I love how large they are, and I use both sides to absorb excess oil.
Cover/FX makes a lightweight mattifying primer with anti-acne treatment. Stila liquid lipstick is a dream because it lasts all day.
I’ve already admitted that I have a spring fever. What about you? Do you have spring fever? What beauty or fashion trends do you plan to try this spring? What warm weather activities will you participate in? Do tell!
Have a fabulous first week in March!
What a perfect mix of texture and metallic for all this crazy transitional weather we have in spring! So fresh!

Sed,
Hi! Thank you for your very nice compliment on the ASOS oversized jacket. I agree about the ups and downs in the temperatures, it makes it difficult to figure out what season we are actually in from day to day.
