Mint Things for Spring

purchased pr sample affiliate links

Pastel mint, Tiffany blue, Statue of Liberty green, seagreen jade – no matter what you call this color, it undeniably screams “Spring”. In this post I wanted to round up a few things from my stash that represent my love for this fun hue, and also show you the newest addition to my accessory stash. 

Mint things: nail polish, Kate Spade leather satchel, makeup, skin care and more...I love rocking this shade on my nails the most, there’s something so youthful, effortless, and plain happy about it! Of course it probably won’t fly in a conservative work environment, but it’s perfect for everyday wear. I have more minty hues in my polish stash, but these four are currently my favorites: Color Club Blue-Ming, RickyColor 5th Floor WalkupAlessandro Nail Polish Peppermint Patty, and Sally Hansen Jaded.

Mint things: nail polish, Kate Spade leather satchel, makeup, skin care and more...It’s not just nail polish that comes in pretty minty hues, but nail treatments, cleansers, BB creams, and facial sprays, like Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + BalmBanila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm [love this stuff!], Miyu Beauty De-Stress Mi Beauty Essence, and Too Cool For School Dinoplatz CC Cream. I forgot to include my little Tweezerman set that I carry around in my purse, which also comes in pretty mint color 😉

Mint things: nail polish, Kate Spade leather satchel, makeup, skin care and more...And finally, the recent addition to my accessory wardrobe – Kate Spade Hampton Road Janie Satchel in Aquacove. It was on sale at TJ Maxx for $149 [orig. $398], and I just couldn’t walk past it 🙂 There were also more colors available – black, white, and red, but mint clearly stood out and begged to be bought.

Mint things: nail polish, Kate Spade leather satchel, makeup, skin care and more... Mint things: nail polish, Kate Spade leather satchel, makeup, skin care and more...This purse is from a very old collection, so at this point you can probably only buy it from resellers, but if you really want to get one, I recommend checking your local TJ Maxx and Marshalls first – they actually had lots of Kate Spade goodies for sale last time I went there. Happy hunting!

      Haha, well, it totally inspired this post, so it’s my fave in the bunch as well 😀

      I always liked it on others more than on myself, but could not resist that bag 🙂 It’s so fun!

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:07 pm

      Right? Can’t believe TJ Maxx could have such treasures! they also had a whole bunch of wallets, coinpurses, other bag designs, and ipad sleeves, all from old Kate Spade collections.

    Oooh… love that bag. Mint is such a great color, in fact, I think I’m gonna go paint my nails now 🙂

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:07 pm

      Yay, glad you’re supporting my minty movement! It’s the perfect color for Spring <3

    I have that exact same bag, except in a brown. Love the mint color.

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:08 pm

      How awesome is that! They didn’t have a brown color available, or I probably would’ve bought that one instead.

    My head just exploded it was just too much cuteness and mintness (word?) all in one place! Such great items and that BAG 🙂

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:08 pm

      It’s now officially a word 🙂

    I love that color! Lorac had a minty set I bought just for that color. Such a happy color!

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:09 pm

      ooh, I think I remember that set actually, it looked super pretty!

  6. May 14, 2015 / 8:23 pm

    I have been seeing a lot of mint-colored clothing lately.

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:10 pm

      They are perfect for Spring, and it’s just a very happy color. I love seeing it on others 🙂

    I love mint pedis and always a chocolate mint after dinner 🙂

    • May 14, 2015 / 9:10 pm

      Yum! Chocolate mints are delicious indeed.

    I loooooove mint for spring, summer or really whenever. Love your picks. Wish I had your purse!

    • May 17, 2015 / 9:02 am

      Haha, thank you Allison, I’m glad that you approve of my minties 🙂 The purse was such a steal! You should check out your local TJ Maxx or Marshalls, they might have them there. I’ve seen them in three different towns, so it might be a nationwide thing.

    Great post. The TJ near me is such a mess that I can’t go in it but I know they have fabulous purses. I love the mint polishes especially the Alessandro one.

    • May 17, 2015 / 9:03 am

      Yikes, if my TJ was a mess I wouldn’t go either, I don’t blame you. It’s kind of in a bad area and the beauty zone is usually pretty gross, but the purses and clothes seem to go untouched, so I only shop there.

  10. May 15, 2015 / 1:11 am

    I want one of everything. K thanks!

    • May 17, 2015 / 9:06 am

      Now let’s figure out how to invent that cloning machine 🙂

  11. May 15, 2015 / 2:31 am

    I love mint! And I need to get out to Prescott Valley and check out our new TJ Maxx. Maybe they will have one of those minty delicious Kate Spade bags. Hey… A girl can dream.

    • May 17, 2015 / 9:07 am

      They might! I’ve seen them in different stores in three towns, so at the very least it’s a regional clearout, but maybe it’s nationwide, too.

  12. May 15, 2015 / 3:22 am

    I love everything mint! The only thing I have from this list is that SH cuticle eraser.

    • May 17, 2015 / 9:07 am

      Isn’t it a nice eraser? I’ve been using it a lot lately.

    • May 17, 2015 / 9:07 am

      Yass! I love mint polish on my toes <3

    I have been searching tjmaxxs for this purse for a few weeks after seeing someone else with it. No luck! Super bummed! When you are tired of it, I will buy it from you! 🙂

    • June 1, 2015 / 8:45 pm

      Ohh nooo! I hope they appear again at some point, seems like they are getting stocked in waves.
