Top 10 best beauty products for Spring 2012

Spring is the perfect time to strip back the layers and reveal a fresh new you. Here are some of the best beauty buys out there at the moment to keep you looking clean, bright and beautiful. So go and get outside and enjoy the sunshine with the comfort of knowing you look like a natural beauty queen goddess!

1. Yves Saint Laurent, Manicure Couture no.8 (£28 each)

We adore these gorgeous new nail lacquers. Catwalk-inspired colours, shades of juicy tangerine and pastel pink channel the warm of spring with a burst of vibrant colour. Lush.

2. Origins, No Puffery Cooling Mask for Puffy Eyes (£19)

Keep eyes bright and dazzling this spring with Origins cooling gel. It’s perfect for banishing sore, tired and puffy eyes to keep you look fresh-faced. For an extra-relaxing treatment, store it in the fridge and intensify the cooling sensation after a big night out.

3. Jo Malone, English Pear & Freesia Cologne (£36)

New and exclusive from Jo Malone, this fresh and feminine fragrance is skin-sweet and soft-smelling with notes of amber and patchouli. Scents of pear and freesia conjure up images of perfect English gardens in springtime.

4. Clinique, Age Defence BB Cream with SPF15 (£25)

Clinique’s take on the BB cream is a winner. A fabulous mix of light coverage and antioxidants, the cream is ideal as a make-up base and its formula contains SPF for those sunny spring days.

5. Bare Minerals, Original SPF15 Foundation (£24) 

Heavy foundation is a definite spring no-no. Keep coverage light with Bare Minerals super-blendable, light-weight mineral foundation formula for a fresh-faced look that stays put all day long.6. Yves Saint Laurent, Touche Éclat (£24.50) 

Every woman’s secret weapon, Yves Saint Laurent’s award winning corrector pen magically conceals shadows and blemishes, adding a touch of radiance that leaves the complexion glowing. Perfect for under-eye circles and for use as a highlighter for cheek and brow bones. Now available in seven shades.

7. Figs & Rouge, Lip Balm (£3.99) 

These elegant balms are 100% organic and petroleum free. Pure and natural, they give lips an intense moisture boost and smell divine. We love Rambling Rose for spring.

8. Bobbi Brown, Blush (£18)

A good blush is your number one essential spring make-up must-have. A sweep of rosy pink across the cheekbones lifts the complexion and gives skin a fresh-faced flush that whispers English rose.

9. Shu Uemura, Markus Lupfer Limited Edition Eyelash Curler (£20)

The ultimate make-up kit must-have, these limited edition lash curlers create stunning natural curls. For an understated spring look, coat curled lashes with a soft brown mascara and leave to set.

10. Kérastase, Reflection (from £15.30)

Pretty in pink, this hair-care range is perfect for coloured hair. With shampoo, conditioner, masks and styling products, your colour stays rich and natural with mirror-shine and lustre.
