March 2009 -

I love that all of the spring collections are out now! I am tiring of deep winter shades. Bring on the pinks an pastels! The Stila Cosmetics Spring Collection looks particularly nice this year. I love the new pearl shimmer glosses (read review at Girl Gloss) and the Stila Precious Pearl Palettte eye shadow palette looks gorgeous.

Of course, the palette includes the wildly popular shade, Kitten. It also has a number of nicely coordinating shades for spring. I love the green and blue!

Essie’s spring nail polish collection features a mixed palette of soft red, beige, blue, pinky coral, fuchsia and petal rose – each named to inspire the newness and hopefulness of Spring:

Eternal Optimist – Spiced Tea Rose
Flawless – Cherry Blossom Pink
Status Symbol – Feisty Hot Pink
One of a Kind – Poppy Red Kiss
Lacquered Up – Red Hot Crimson
Mesmerize – Royal va-va Blue

Below are swatches of my two favorites: Lacquered up and Status Symbol. I haven’t swatched it yet, but the blue, Mesmerize, is quite vivid. Fans of blue polish will want to check it out!

Overall, it is nice spring collection. It certainly got me in the mood for warmer weather! In fact I was hoping to hurry that along by sporting spring shades!
