They say that pink makes the boys wink, though I am sure
that any shade of rosé is guaranteed to set any girly-girls heart a flutter. To
celebrate the southern hemispheres most optimistic and hopeful day in the
calendar (in my opinion anyway), the first of Spring, I have compiled my pick
of the crop of sweet pink spring beauty treats.
Clockwise from top left:
#1 Viktor&Rolf BonBon:
Flowerbomb was always going to be hard to detonate, I mean beat, but Viktor&Rolf may have just blown it out of the water with the newest, most sweetie darling new fragrance, BonBon. Shaped like a bow and inspired by the delectable French sweet, this fragrance is like a decadent dessert, bursting with flavours (I mean notes) of indecent sweetness including caramel, mandarin, orange, sandalwood, jasmine, amber and peach. Spritz yourself in this masterpiece of confection perfection and feel your spirits simply soar into spring.
#2 OPI Nail Polish – Bubble Bath
Bubblebath is a shy whisper of softest, fleshy pink, perfect for an underrated, understated and very chic manicure. Two coats will have your nails looking beautiful and neutral, all prepped and ready to compliment brighter pops of spring time colour sure to appear in your wardrobe.
#3 Chanel Le Blush Crème de Chanel – Inspiration
The formula of Chanel’s cream blushes is second to none, with poppy, intense color that applies like a dream and wears well for over eight hours. The black case is sophisticated and smart and “Inspiration”, the colour inside is a clean bright pink, totally appropriate for capturing the flush of a refreshing walk outdoors.
#4 Lancôme La Base Pro Hydra Glow
An extension of Lancôme’s best selling La Base Pro primer, Hydra Glow has a swoon worthy soft pink tinge and delightful slip over skin to noticeably illuminate and hydrate dull post winter skin. Using this underneath foundation offers a glass like finish, skin is radiant and oh so smooth looking. Consider this if you are after for an indulgent new season splurge, you get the pretty you pay for with this at $79 for a petite 25mls.
#5 YSL Baby Doll Kiss and Blush #8 Pink Hedoniste
YSL do some of the best lippies around and, just in time for spring, introduce a new range of multi-taking must haves. Kiss your lips and blush your cheeks with #8, a gorgeous and vibrant yellow based pink. The result on lips is a pout that feels and looks velvety smooth and subtly radiant, I even detect a slight plumping look and sensation that will never get a no from me. Pat this on cheeks for a complimentary flush of colour – after all, matchy matchy is still definitely having a moment.
#6 MAC Lip Pencil – In Synch
This lip pencil is an essential for brightening up any of your favorite lip sticks. Sure, you can wear it alone, scribbled all over lips for a fun 60s look, but the real magic of this pink beauty is it’s ability to lend a yellow-toned brightness that may be lacking from more of your deeper, rose toned lipsticks. Colour all over lips and then apply a pink (or red, or even orange!) lipstick over the top and watch as your colours are transformed into something surprising and sensational.

#0 Whittaker’s Cookie Bear 100s and 1000s White Chocolate
Because if it is going to be a moment on perfectly lipsticked lips and a lifetime on the hips then it should at least be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. And what could be more so than a pink chocolate sprinkled with multi-coloured confetti that takes you back to the innocence of childhood birthday party frolics in the spring time sun? Bon Appetite!
