Thanks to Dior, spring is going to be lovely for your lips

I love this time of year, when Spring beauty and fashion are in the air. The countless blogs and websites I visit daily are slowly but surely moving away from the sweaters, boots and bold lips I’m so sick of seeing already (and haven’t really been able to wear down here in Florida all “winter”) in favor of “sneak peeks” at Spring trends to watch. My email inbox is moving in that direction as well, and I’m particularly excited about these two new launches from Dior…

If you haven’t tried Dior’s Lip Glow yet, I’d get on that ASAP. This color-enhancing balm is available in pink, coral and lilac, but a brand-new berry shade is joining the family for spring. Decidedly deeper than its more subtle siblings, this new color is a great way to transition from winter to spring.

If you’re a bit more trend-driven, no doubt you’re intrigued by the concept of ombre lips—or even wearing different shades on your upper and lower lips. I honestly wouldn’t even know where to start here, and selecting the shades would be roadblock number one. Dior’s limited-edition Rouge Gradient for spring solves that problem by serving up a “lip shadow” duo with a punchy peach on one side and a pop of plum on the other. Applied with sponge-like foam tips, these lightweight powders deliver a long-lasting matte finish and are designed to blend together seamlessly, whether you decide to go light or bold. I’m dying to get my hands on this to see what it’s all about for myself, so stay tuned for when I do!
