Color Me Spring: The TBS Spring Collection
It's a shame that in the Philippines, we only have two seasons: hot and hotter. It would have been so nice to actually have Spring, and not just ride on fashion and make up trends that come and go. Though at least, it is nice every now and then to delve into colors from spring and eventually incorporate it into my makeup.
It is time to embrace the beauty of spring. Revel in the new season’s style. Celebrate the fresh hues of nature. The Body Shop leads the way with the launch of the Nature’s Colour Collection, a gently contrasting range of hazy spring shades with soft, muted textures and innovative formats, including the new and unique Limited Edition Kiss of Colour Cheek Blush.
This Spring, make sure your eyes are sparkling with a wash of vibrant blues and greens, your lips are soft and shiny, anointed with an ethereal whisper of peaches and pinks and cheeks are a gorgeous shade of scintillating raspberry and coral. It is the season to look naturally gorgeous.
As you can probably tell, my favorite product of the bunch has to be the blusher. As the lovely and uber-funny Shen says, the blusher is perfect for just before entering the boardroom, two soft pats on the cheeks are all it takes and minimal blending and you're good to go. I've been using this for days now, I love how convenient it is to retouch on the fly and it smells yummy, too!
Hi-Shine Lip Treatment delivers a wash of pretty glossy colour to lips with precision and ease. The high shine, skin-conditioning formula with Community Trade marula oil leaves lips looking irresistibly luscious. And the squeezable tube with rounded chiselled applicator means it is quick and simple to apply – perfect for girls in a hurry. Pucker up with two delicious, luminous shades - 06 Party Pink and Limited Edition 17 Golden Coral – for a sensational spring look.

I've tried this on the spot, over at the TBS event and I was once again in awe at how nice the color payoff is! Head on over to the Swiper's page to see swatches.
It was my first time to attend an event as a semi-beauty blogger [admittedly, I say too much about my life, myself] and it was really exhilarating to meet and hang out with fellow beauty enthusiasts. We were literally shrieking upon seeing each other! Here are some testaments to that:

I can't wait to see these girls again! It was such a fun event with all the girly stuff and applying makeup and oh, the cuppycakes! I will definitely update this post with the cuppycake photo. Do watch out for individual reviews of each!
