What I Change Up in My Beauty Routine for Spring/Summer!

Sponsored by Jergens. All opinions are my own.

I love changing up my beauty with the seasons. The greiges of fall, metallics & earthy tones for winter, pastels in spring, bright shades in summer...it is jut too fun! Changing up my routine & colors is a natural progression of seasons for me but I think spring/summer are definitely my favorites! I love transitioning into the more cheery color palette because I grew up in California...winter/fall just wasn't all that extreme. Now that I'm in Nebraska....well lets just say we appreciate good whether a ton more now!

I cover everything in the video above (minus talking about my love for BB Creams/CC Creams when it warms up...oops!) but there are obviously even more changes I make. I basically try to use products with nice coverage but that feel much lighter. They also have to hold up really well through this ridiculous humidity!

After 3 months of using my Jergens products (check out my first & 2nd posts here for more information!) I'm very pleased. My favorite is the daily moisturizer because I'm so fair. Usually self-tanners, even those for fair skin, lean too dark to begin with on me which makes it super obvious. I loved using this at night (like I said in the video!) but if I forgot I used it after a shower without issue. Just remember to exfoliate as with any self tanner! I hope you enjoyed this video & follow me on youtube to see more!
Jergens makes it easier than ever to glow with the NEW Natural Glow Moisturizers that provides great color, year-round, without the sunless tanner odor.

My Spring Must Haves + Jergens Update/Giveaway!

So in preparation of spring I've been accumulating all of the things that make me happy this time of year. Stackable bracelets! Bright nails! Maxi dresses! Ah why isn't the sun shining as I write this? Seriously there is snow/frost all over our bench outside! Ridiculous! But, when it actually starts to look like Spring outside...I'll be ready! Jergens Natural Glow 3 Days to Glow Moisturizer has quickly made it into my testing routine & I'm impressed! From a seriously pale girl you know I love a self-tanner that actually shows a natural color without that self-tanner scent. I still get a tad bit of it but it doesn't bother me anymore! Did you know it can smell stronger on some people due to their skin chemistry? I hadn't ever thought of that but it is true! Anyway, let's look at what I'm seriously loving this spring shall we?

I've accumulated every item on this list & I'm really excited it all came together nicely so I can share it with you! Of course there is a bit more nail polish than everything else...but I feel like you'd be disappointed if there wasn't! I love starting with a basic base & adding color because every time I wear it the feeling will be different. Sometimes I will start with a black base (or another basic color this just happens to be the dress I'm in love with currently!) & add neon or nautical or pastels. The options are endless which is why I love to have some staple pieces!

Fashion:
The lace/crochet skull back jersey maxi dress is from Charlotte Russe& I'm hooked! It has such a classic, comfortable shape but the back makes it interesting! Because I try not to show too much skin everywhere I love dresses with an interesting back focus like cutouts, interesting designs, or cool strap details. Obviously I look 110% better in this now that I'm getting tanner! The shoes you see are actually by Croc & they are called Adrina Flat s. I absolutely adore them & swear them for comfort. I have really sensitive feet & I always choose to wear these to events...people always want to know where they're from too!

Makeup/Beauty:
I definitely try to play up one feature during the warmer months. I love using the Urban Decay Naked Palette for awesome warm neutral looks which look awesome against bronzed skin. I also loveL'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows& Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows for colors that will last day to night! For spring I'm absolutely head over heels for my Marc Jacobs Sunshine Eau So Fresh. When it comes to my body, I'm working on getting tan with Jergens (see my first introductory post here!) new products but Jergens 3 Days to Glow moisturizer is the standout. I like that it only takes 3 days (impatient!) & it develops into a really natural shade! I also like the Jergens Natural Glow Face Tanner but my skin is so dry that I feel like I'm exfoliating most of it away. I'm going to keep experimenting & maybe using it at night too!

Nails:
I won't go too crazy with explanations because you'll be seeing all of these shades over the next few weeks on the blog (if not already!) but I love to wear pastels one day, chunky glitter the next, textures, neons, sweet shimmers...I just like nail polish. Some of my favorites are Essie Watermelon, Zoya Wednesday, Zoya Opal, Butter London Jasper, OPI Do You Lilac It, & Wet n Wild Heatwave.

Accessories:
I didn't want to throw down too many accessories but I have tons. I love jewelery, scarves, purses, sunglasses...ah I just love accessories! I especially wanted to point out these bright skull bracelets which I also bought from Charlotte Russe& I'm loving them! They're perfect for layering! I also love changing up my sunglasses & go with basic shades when I'm wearing bright shades & fun sunglasses like these from Forever 21 to jazz up an outfit. Loving that tropical print & they're less than $6!

So there you have it! Can you tell I'm excited for sunshine? Big thanks to Jergens for helping my poor paste-y skin get some color & I'll do a big update next month on those products especially! What are you loving for spring?
