Favorite things have to be pedicures & sandals….can’t wait!
My favorite thing about spring is throwing on the cute floral dresses and sandals. And, spring makeup.yay..
My favorite thing about spring is the feeling of love in the air, fresh pedicures, great fruits and veggies at the store, blooming flowers, the way the sky looks and the new skin baring fashions!
Awww nice giveaway! I live in tropical country so I don’t actually feel the difference of the spring. Nonetheless I always get excited to see the new makeup line!

I love wearing flip flops and letting my feet breathe! Also showing off cute nail polish on my toesies. I also love the spring and summer makeup trends–always bright pinks and teals that I love. I also love wearing cute sunglasses and headscarves and funky color combinations you can’t get away with in winter!
what i love is how everything looks alive and colorful… and the fashion and makeup trends during the season simply complement nature… pretty pretty
I Love my new MAC makeup, I just went to my local MAC store and got a bunch of new makeup and am going to toss my old stuff – (well, not all of it – but the old powder – ick) I regret not buying more eyeshadows and some brushes since my brushes are kinda blah and worn…I guess I’ll make do for now…*sigh* I love the new OPI nail color I have on – “My chihuahua bites” everyone says it’s gorgeous…though it needs touching up now…since I do so much typing…
Hmm…My favorite thing has to be feeling the sun on your back : )
especially after living through the fog in norcal!
My favorite thing about spring is losing the heavy winter coat, scarves and hats. I love the freedom of that!
IT IS SO HARD TO FIND A JOB!!! I am graduating in May and have no plans still :[
I LOVE SPRING! It’s my favorite season, and not just because my birthday lands in it. Everything is blooming and pretty, and I can wear my sandals in the evening. That’s important to me!
Linda´s last blog post..I’ve been loved…
Ooooh this has been on my wish list since you reviewed it Karen. I hope I win
I love Spring (although I hate the allergies) because I can wear flowy skirts, linen, breezy tops & sandals. I also start to wear more colors in my clothing, nail polish and makeup.
My favorite thing about spring is seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in DC and the sunshine! perfect spring weather here i come!
My favourite thing about spring is that the weather is going to be softer and all those lovely collections that will come out
I LOVE THE COLORS OF SPRING!!! whether it be in nature or in the new spring collections of makeup and clothes!
My favorite thing about spring is flowers! Lots and lots of them!
My favorite thing about spring is putting away the socks – I so look forward to lighter or no stockings!
Spring=the joy of gardening for me.
yummy!
WOW – the colours are soooo beautiful!
My favorite parts about spring are the warmer but still breezy days in southern Cali! =]
we only have 2 seasons in my country – wet and dry. but if we had 4 seasons, i think i’d like spring best because it brings out all the wonderful colors in nature – green leaves and flowers in different colors.
The best thing about spring is the sun finally rearing its head. I feel like the winter has been going on for ever.
The feeling of freedom … the wind on the bare hands, going out without bothering to dry the hair thoroughly, the chilliness in the morning, the smell of fresh grass…
My favorite part of Spring is seeing the beautiful green grass and all of the spring flowers bloom. I’m so ready to ditch my heavy, brown winter coat and start wearing pretty pastel colors too!
My favorite thing about spring is all the flowers that bloom!
The blanket of flowers that forms on the ground from my pink tab tree – kinda like a sugarsweet carpet over the grass.
I love spring so I can wear my yellow ballerina shoes and pastels makeup.
My favorite thing is the sun and the lack of snow – when living in chicago, you really appreciate those two things
heather´s last blog post..No more prying eyes for me
My favorite things are the end of winter shoes, new sandals & flip flops, and sun dresses. They make it so much easier to get dressed in the morning.
My fav thing about spring is the weather. I love being able to drive around with all my windows open and spend time outside without a coat
I’ve never tried Clarins before but that looks to be a pretty good price for a 6 shadow palette!
I’ve also never tried this brand before but it looks really cool! I actually don’t like spring that much. Explanation: I live in MN and spring here is just a big muddy mess. The snow turns brown (eww) and it gets all slushy. Definitely not a post-card scene of white blanketed landscapes.
My favorite thing about spring is fun, cheerful nail polish and walking my puppy in the rain while wearing my beloved Hunter wellies!
My favorite thing about spring its the weather…. A few rain spells, then sun with a cool wind. Sunglasses and the first few coffees with friends outdoors.
I love spring because its simply beautiful and everywhere is surrounded by colorful flowers.
The best thing about spring is the weather: not too hot and not too cool!
I just love EVERYTHING about spring!! And this palette.
The best thing about spring is that we can store our winter coats and forget about snow!
I don’t see many flowers and trees where I live… I love spring because I dread the humidity of summer, and I get to buy lots of crunchy, candy-coated easter eggs on sale at the drugstore!
I love spring because of the pretty flowers and trees. GREEEEEN!!!
(but damn allergies…grrrr)
My favorite thing about spring has got to be how… invigorated I feel. Like yesterday, I went to the gym, and decided to step outside for a breather. The sunshine was lovely, the light breeze was warm, and I actually thought how nice it would be to take a run outside. I *don’t* run, as a rule, my knees don’t like it at all, but for a few moments… I thought it would just be a fine thing to do.
My favorite thing about Spring? When the lilacs begin to bloom- it’s the best fragrance in the world! And this year for Sprng- all the lavendar, pink and purple make-up palettes!
My favourite thing about spring is all of the pretty new makeup colours that come out and the warmer weather:)
That the sun is starting to shine brightly :O
My favorite thing about the spring is that I can wear skirts and that the days are getting longer
Its summer all year long in Miami im not really sure what spring feels like…or fall and winter for that matter lol
my favorite thing about spring is the perfect weather for picnics and playing sports out in the sun and not freezing your butt off outside!
What I love with spring is that people change for the better. The smile more and are looking at the brighter side of the life in this season.
Sexy Sadie´s last blog post..Det gikk visst an
My favorite thing about Spring is all the beautiful bright colors. Fall is so dreary with all the black, grey, and brown. I like floral patterns and happy colors like fucshia, yellow, and tourqoise that are associated with Spring! They make me feel cheery!
My favourite thing about Spring: more daylight!
My favorite thing is seeing the spring flowers bloom, especially here where we still get snow in March! Seeing the purple and yellow crocus peeking out in the middle of a pile of white snow is inspiring!
The thing I like best about spring and summer is the warm breeze wafting across my face and not having to wear PANTYHOSE to work.
hi long time reader first time commenter. haha, no. i just found your site a few weeks ago. i think i saw one of your videos on youtube. idk, but im glad i did. you seem really nice and i get some good tips & advice.
well im not really good at favorites. i guess just the overall weather. it leads way to so many good things. like the pretty flowers and the way it smells after it rains. knowing the next season will also be warm. im with you on the socks suck thing. sandles are great but i also like walking around barefoot in my front and backyard. also weather goes right through me and im always freezing walking around the house in long pj pants, top, and robe. and the robe is such a pain. its heavy and gets caught on everything. and even with the robe im usually still cold. and then things gets me colder like the toilet seat, lol, drinking water etc. so yeah, quite freeing to walk around with some shorts and a top on and not having chills & goosebumps all day long. and i love the outdoors, so we get to put the trampoline back up, go to the park, have a campfire, play fetch with my doggie, (except she plays keep away and chace me around the yard lol), oooo chalk on the patio lol (i like to draw), me & my lil sis did that already. just being outside. its so beautiful. except when i see a bee- then i go running inside lol. oh, how could i almost forget. the sun! it feels sooooo good on the body. i go tanning sometimes and it just can not compare. and the whole sunnyness just puts me in a better mood.
so yeah. i think im gunna stop now lol. hope you have a good day. i get to sleepover at my boyfriends today and i have new episodes of lost AND the office. psyched =)
ahh one more thing, your kitty is SO cute! i love animals, how can anyone not?
Favorite part about spring? Walking my pups!
This giveaway is sooooo pretty!
My favorite thing about Spring is definitely being able to go outside for walks! I feel like I’m coming out of a winter shell, and it’s the best feeling!
My favorite thing about spring is that there’s more light during the day.
I love wearing thinner clothes and changing to lighter and brighter colors, but I think my very favorite thing is the daylight being longer. <3
my favorite thing about spring is the nice weather =)silly, but yeah
I love it for the warmer weather. You don’t need a winter coats or a scarf. It’s still cold here, low 40s.
My favorite thing about Spring is the start of Spring living in Washington, DC! The Kite Festival and the Cherry Blossom Festival.. so inspiring, they bring you outdoors, the celebration of colors, community.. it’s all so beautiful! I love starting off Spring attending these festivals… most importantly.. the kid was born on the very weekend these festivals take place… (this coming weekend!)
kia´s last blog post..NYX Kiwi- Great Green!
my favorite thing about spring has got to be the lovely pastel colors I start to see all around, whether it be peoples makeup, clothes, shoes, the flowers. The colors get brighter and softer, very soothing
My favorite thing about Spring is being able to be able to run barefoot outside after my dog while wearing big, flowy skirts. =) I think I would be content if I could do that every day.
My fav is the color green! i just love looking at the new leaves with that rich, beautiful, new green color. it makes me all happy.
My favourite thing about spring is probably sunshine!
The best thing about spring is my birthday lol!
Suzanne´s last blog post..Gosh Nail Lacquer
Technically there’s no Spring here in Singapore – it’s just hot tropical weather year round (with a couple of monsoon periods). So my favourite would be Spring collections – clothes and makeup!
perfect weather a lot of hours of sun..
My favorite thing about spring is wearing lighter layers and flats with no socks!
My favorite thing about spring is the smell of blossomed trees!
