For a few weeks we experienced an amazing change in the weather, which was lovely and it was apparent that spring was just around the corner.

So it's that time again to get your makeup and beauty cupboard ready for the spring summer season and possibly some cheeky weekends away. Here are my top ten beauty favourites for the month ahead. Some new and some I just can't live without:

 

Benefit Gimme Brow

Nowadays, having tailored brows is as important as any other part of your skincare or makeup regime. So its time to bring on those brows ladies, I just love the Benefit Gimme Brow brush. This innovative brush-on fibre gel adheres to skin and hair creating brows where before there were none. It builds easily for thick, lush arches, thanks to a tapered brush for blending and precision tip for shaping. It's available in two shades and retails for £17.50.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy

If we are lucky enough to have any hot spring days, you are going to need a long lasting lippy. Pure Colour Envy from Estee Lauder is the latest longer lasting lipstick which launched in February and I absolutely love it. Not only does it last, but it also sculpts the lips to make them look fuller and give you an enviably pout. It retails for £24.

ColorescienceMineral Powder

 

Mineral makeup is becoming much more popular these days. I've just started experimenting with Colorescience mineral powder brushes and I am addicted. I love the lightness but also the fact they provide SPF coverage in an easy to carry and apply brush. The Sunforgettable brushes provide a lightweight mineral powder with a barely-there feel that provides a safe, non-irritating, instant UVA and UVB sun protection. The self-dispensing powder brush makes this sheer formula easy to apply and reapply throughout the day. Retails for £17.

Epionce Skincare

 

I recently stumbled upon an amazing duo to keep skin fresh and bright, the Epionce gentle foaming cleanser and the renewal facial cream. Combined, these products have been delivering incredible results. The gentle foaming cleanser (pictured) effectively removes impurities without leaving the skin sensitive, tight or stripped of its natural protective lipids. This retails for £25.50.

The Renewal Facial Cream boasts an unsurpassed formula. This clinically proven cream luxuriously hydrates your skin while effectively stimulating barrier repair. It also corrects, prevents and protects your skin's barrier against the damaging effects of the environment. This retails for £74.

Be Skinny Drink Me

 

If you are thinking about getting in shape for the summer and want to shed some pounds, this protein shake works wonders as a meal replacement. Its only 92 calories per serving, and you add it towater or blend it with fruit and milk to make a smoothie. The team at Be Skinny Drink Me have formulated a product that really works. The manufacturers combine the best in beauty and sporting knowledge to give you clinically proven ingredients with scientific background but totally natural formulations. It retails from £17.50 per pack.

Percy & Reed Wonder Balm

 

There's no need for bad hair days with Percy &Reed's new Wonder Balm. This miracle, weightless, leave-in balm has just been launched on the market and I love it. It preps and primes your hair in readiness for all styling products and techniques. ?¨However you style your hair, Wonder Balm makes your regular styling products work wonders, giving you more control and better results that last longer. Or, quite simply, it is all you need for beautiful, healthy looking and flawless hair. Perfect. Retailing for £18.

Glo Therapeutics Eye Restore

 

For those of you that suffer from dark circles or puffiness, I've found a lovely product that does the job nicely and with continued usage has really delivered good results. Glo Therapeutics Eye Restore is ideal if you suffer from dry, puffy or fine lines around your eyes. It is a natural, soothing eye cream, which stimulates cell growth and reduces depth of wrinkles. At the same time it enhances collagen and elastin production. It retails from £21.

Fake Bake Gold

 

 "I use Fake Bake Gold, it gives the most natural colour" says Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud. For a quick and easy at home fake tan that delivers great results, I swear by Fake Bake at home Gold tan. An advanced formulation, gold contains the world's finest self tanning ingredients for the most natural looking sunless tan and combines this with powerful anti-oxidants to defend and diminish the appearance of signs of premature ageing. Retails for £30.

Finlay & Co Eyewear

 

With the sunshine on its way we all need a fab set of sunnies. I'm a little bit in love with Scottish eyewear brand Finlay & Co. The company has a massive celebrity following and the range is extremely on trend and all about quality. "16 steps of meticulous craftsmanship to ensure the finest quality and comfort", says the brand.  What makes it utterly unique is that its range is made from wood. Prices start from £120.

 

Beauty Lab Black Diamond serum

OK, this ones not cheap but if you are happy to spend a bit more than high street prices on your skincare you will love how it makes your skin feel. It's a superior anti-ageing serum to significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This serum, with black diamond and peptides, will help plump, smooth and bring back radiance and luminosity to your skin. I've tried this and my skin feels amazing - definitely worth it if you're thinking of wrinkle reduction and bringing back the natural brightness we lose through age. Retails from £90.
