Spring Makeup Look

          I am thinking of doing the occasional, affordable, makeup look; and what a better way then to do some season focused ones. I have come up with a few different ideas for spring and am asking that you let me know which you would like to see.
1. Light mauve
2. Lavender haze
3. Minty greens
4. Peach and copper
5. Spring pastels
6. Pale orange cream
7. Smokey taupe

Perfumes of the Season.

Lately I have been on a bit of a perfume/body mist spree. So, in the spirit of sharing here is a list of what I have been using lately.

1. Far Away Bella - Avon.
"A beautiful journey layered with Italian clementine, rich Turkish rose and warm Brazilian tonka bean." - Great for Autumn. Warm, a little spicy, but not overwhelming.

2. Ultra Sexy Lace - Avon.
"The fragrance begins with fruity and tempting accords of passion fruit, pear and bergamot. Magnolia in the heart is infused with peach and peony. The base includes golden amber, musk and sweet woods." - A lite Autumn aroma, possibly early Spring. Fruity with a touch of spice and the smallest amount of warmth.

3. Snowdrop - Get Misty - Mark via Avon.
"The essence of a Winter Wonderland, with shimmering florals, chilled fruits and warm, spicy amber all cozying up to each other." - Winter. Fresh and crisp. Very much reminds me of that cool snowy night smell.

4. Spiced Orange Ginger - Avon.
"A sparkling blend of fresh orange, white ginger and cinnamon spice will set you up for a tantalizing teasing of the senses. " - Autumn. True to its name; it is a warm, spiced, citrus scent.

5. Dark Kiss - Bath and Body Works.
"A daring and seductive scent of berries, flowers and tempting night musk. It is a modern tale of forbidden love that will loose your hidden fantasies and primal passions. 
(Top notes: bergamot, incense, Mirabelle plum and blackberry. Heart: amber, Burgundy rose, geranium and peony. Base: dark vanilla, labdanum, vetiver, balsams and musks.) " - Evening Summer or deep Winter. A sweet berry bouquet with warm dark sensual undertones.

6. Velvet Noir - Francesca's.
"This is one accessory that fits with every occasion: hidden in a cozy sweater curled up by the fire, adding a bit of confidence to brighten up a Monday, and the perfect statement addition to your little black dress and an unforgettable night out! Velvet Noir Eau de Parfum, a crisp and fresh scent inspired by the opulence of classical Russia. 
(Top note is black currant; middle notes are freesia and star jasmine; base note is caramel.)" - Winter. A spicy blend of warmth and decadence that stays with you all day. Also happens to be my absolute favorite this season!
