Did you know that in Russia where I’m from Spring officially starts on March 1st, as in, today? Even though it will take a while for the air and the ground to warm up, there is something oddly comforting about knowing that sunny days are just around the corner. In this Weekly Favorites post I am featuring products that make me dream of Spring.
SquareHue nail lacquer in “War Crinoline” from their February mini-collection, inspired by 1910s. It’s that muddy green hue, when tiny stems of grass start peeking through the dirt; I see this color a lot in late March – early April when looking out the window.
When I look at LUSH Aqua Marina Cleanser from afar, it reminds me of cherry blossoms with their soft pastel pink petals framed by baby leaves that are just starting to open. Sometimes I use this cleanser as a clay mask by applying a thicker layer and leaving it on for 10-15 minutes. It works for the body, too!
demeter’s Jasmine is more than just jasmine. This sunny floral fragrance roll-on oil contains pure soap [that’s a scent!], Spanish Jasmine from Catalonia, and lilacs, so it’s like an ultra-powerful flower bomb with a slight powdery finish. It’s very potent so I only use a small dab on my wrists, but that’s more than enough.
Tulips, anyone? I recently bought a whole bunch of Milani lipsticks when they had a Holiday sale, and this your-lips-but-better shade called “25 Naturally Chic” is my most worn among all of them. I am very impressed with Milani lipstick formula, it feels high end and wears extremely well on the lips.

That’s so interesting! I kind of wish seasons started on the first of the month in the U.S.–it’s just easier that way (though it certainly doesn’t feel like spring yet here in Boston, either).
Right? It just feels less complicated that way, and so does the metric system. I’m kind of used to inches and pounds already, but not to Fahrenheit temperatures 🙂 Thank goodness we got Google! Speaking of Boston, sounds like you guys are getting ready to some pretty bad storm, aren’t you? Stay safe and warm!
Usually when Spring hits here in Florida, it’s time for the A/C! I’m still enjoying my comfy blankets and vampy colors… but I’ll be with you in a few weeks.
Oh wow, I’ve never lived in a humid climate like that, so for me Spring has always been a season to wait for. I think I can take maybe 1 cold month every year, any more than that and it feels like a drag.
That LUSH cleanser works wonders for getting rid of skin bumps of any kind. Love it!
It’s one of my all-time favorites as well! I sometimes put it on mosquito bites and let it dry – it helps!
That LUSH cleanser is one of my favs! I use it during the summer (Angels on Bare Skin in the Winter)
It’s really great at conditioning the skin and soothing irritations. I need to try Angels on Bare Skin, never used it before 🙂
The lipstick is gorgeous 😀
It’s the perfect nude lip color!
That lipstick looks so great for everyday! Lately I’ve been wearing the lipgloss from theBalm that I got in my Birchbox in the shade “Bam!”. It’s pretty neutral so it can go with a bunch of different looks.
So we were almost box twins then, because I got that Bam shade in one of my recent Birchboxes as well. It’s a super pretty color, I even thought about buying a full size once my sample runs out, but it’s a pretty big sample so it’ll be a while 🙂
