5 Shades of Lavender for Spring
It’s awesome to see that in 2015, finding the right shade of lavender is easier than ever, whether you prefer it on your lips, nails, cheeks, or eyes. Here are a few of my favorites for spring!
- ColourPop Brills — a pinky-lavender lipstick with a satin finish
- Makeup Geek Secret Admirer — a pop of pinky-lavender for cheeks
- MAC Full of Joy — a pale lavender purple with a satin finish for cheeks
- Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck — a muted lavender with a hint of pink with a cream finish for nails
- Make Up For Ever I918 Lavender — a cool-toned, pop of lavender purple for eyes
Ooh, I’ve always loved Essie’s Warm and Toasty Turtleneck! Such a beautiful color.
Isn’t it? It’s more complex than you’d think!
Warm & Toasty Turtleneck is soooo pretty! And I never thought I’d say that about a lavendar nail polish.
Haha! Wonders never cease 🙂
Oh man I have to get that Essie Warm and Toasty polish! It’s lovely 🙂
It is a beauty!
I’m really loving the Essie polish too. Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods, the real winter frosts have just begun 🙁
Aww 🙁 Stay warm.
MAC Full of Joy is amazing on the cheeks! One of their sales associates tried it on me and I was in love and had to have it. I am cool-toned, though, so it works well with my skin. 🙂
It does! It’s a very fun shade.
Love lavender everything, so pretty! For sure my favourite of the purple family, but I also love all the purples too! Thank you for this post, the nail polish and make up forever eyeshadow look beautiful, and I may need to look them up! I already have Brills lipstick, and am looking forward to someday soon trying out makeupgeek’s blushes!
Hope you can try out MUG’s blushes, too! They’re awesome.
Wow I love the nail polish and the eye shadows! There so cool I’m defiantly going to buy those!
Glad ya liked ’em, Lucy!
That MUFE shadow is just gorgeous! Need. It. Now! 😀
Both lavender and lilac (or for that matter any pastel cool toned purple shades) paired with a winged black liner are one of my fave go to work looks.
Do you just wear lavender all over the lid or do you have a go-to pairing, Bambi?
Generally I’m in a rush in the mornings so I’ll just slap it on over the entire lid, then liner and mascara lol – but if I have a bit more time, I’ll define my crease with a matte taupe shade like UD’s Tease.
Oooh, lavender and taupe! Perfect.
The Essie Polish is pretty.
The polish seems to be a hit, lol!
Essie Warm and Toasty Turtleneck looks really pretty! I usually stay away from pastels as they don’t tend to work on my olive skin. But just maybe this could work.
It might! 🙂
I was just thinking I’d seen Warm & Toasty Turtleneck recently. Then I realised I’m wearing it…
Hahaha! 😉
Lavender is one of my favorite colors. I bought the MUFE I918 Lavender shade during the Sephora 20% sale. It is beautiful. Essie warm & toasty turtleneck polish is my kind of shade.
So glad you scored that one, Erica!
How, funny, I’m wearing these kind of shades today. I guess I have spring fever.
All of these are beautiful choices. I need the MUG blush; I love that color.
I have MUFE lavender. So pretty with greenish eyes like mine.
Hey, we are in full bloom as far as beauty is concerned re: spring!
I just bought the MUFE Lavender a couple hours ago! I love those shadows so much, and I cannot resist a purple!
Great timing! 😀
Full of joy has always been a favorite of mine. I LOVE anything purple, especially the lavender shades. Christine, I actually have a question for you. Do you know of a dupe for Mac Dirty Plum blush? I am desperately seeking one out! Thanks 🙂
I don’t! 🙁
I love purple tones..yeah..does this mean spring is actually coming even though its like sub zero grey bluck..ugh. I’m moving! Seriously,that Essie color may actually motivate me to paint my nails or toes or both..even better, get them done . Brills..in a box (supposed to be anyway) on my chair as we speak!
As far as beauty is concerned, seasons always come three months early, LOL!
I know..fashion too it seems…,bikinis at the mall and it’s -10 with the wind chill here..awful! Stay in Cali ..don’t ever leave the west coast for any permanent reason….just my advice. I kinda appreciate the heads up in beauty and fashion. It gives me time to prepare. In a fashion mind ..it says,get your butt back in gear and quit eating junk. Beauty..it let’s me dream,plan my purchases,and prepare financially. Bday is in February. So, that helps.
Hey Christine, do you or does anyone else know if the MUG fit the Mac bush 6 pans?
I think a reader said yes in the new palette, I know they fit in the older palettes.
Great ! I have 3 to fill
I have and love Secret Admirer, but the Essie polish and the MUFE shadow are speaking to me! 😀
I knew Secret Admirer would be gorgeous on you!
Lavendar is not usually my pick.. but Essie Turtleneck and Makeup For ever Lavendar eye shadows are amazing! 🙂
Glad ya liked two of them!
I need that lipstick and polish in my life!
Who knew the polish would be such an attention-getter!
Love the Essie polish!
I found Warm & Toasty a Turtleneck in TJ Maxx today for 4 bucks! I was so excited. Painting my nails with it tonight!
