Here we are…the latest giveaway is the entire NARS Spring Collection. It’s a mix of electrics and smooth, feminine shades that are perfect for chasing away the winter make-up cobwebs. Who doesn’t want their cheeks that perfect, pretty pink for the onset of Spring?
As usual, a question. What’s your spring fling? What gets you feeling spring-like and fresh after a long winter? For me, it’s when the first crocusses appear as a sign that longer, lighter days are coming; they always put me in a good mood when I see them.
You can add your answer to the comments box with your twitter address or email me at britishbeautyblogger@gmail.com. This giveaway is open to UK and Europe and ends at 10pm on Saturday 28th January. The favourite answer will be chosen by a NARS representative and not by me.

Definitely the lighter days, seeing daffodils growing everywhere and driving through the country side and seeing new born baby lambs!

I get into the mood of spring by changing my brozer to blusher and for some reason in spring i always use more pinks etc in my daily make up 🙂 Also the fact it means Easter is soon and i love my chocolate eggs!!

My absolute favourite spring fling has got to be chicks. I love around easter time when all the chicks are being born. Its such a beautiful thing and I really see it as signifying the start of life for both the chicks and all nature, as well as the start of spring!
Flinging off the opaque tights and boots that I’ve been wearing since October and shaping and painting my toenails. This year too its going to be about finding the right BB cream.
WOW What a giveaway!!
I get in the mood for spring when the weather gets slightly warmer – I can ditch the big winter coat! And when new everything starts to grow again, it just makes me feel happier (sure I have S.A.D) on the downside I have to start thinking about my summer body – lighter nights=time to go for a run after work!

Blossom and the smell of the air outdoors. Less dank, more freshness. Puts a spring in your step! (pun totally intended)

I love hearing the first birds sing in spring because they go silent all winter and then suddenly there is a dawn chorus of hundreds of birds! I l try to learn ten new songs every year.
For me, the arrival of spring is marked by the lighter mornings. Waking up and actually being able to see is this best feeling in the world isn’t it? Also the ‘fresh’ smell of a spring dewy morning and of course the fresh dewy makeup that goes with it. I can’t wait to move from all the glitter, metallic and berry toned makeup to light and pastel makeup… But probably still with some glitter.

For me it’s a combination of things! I change the way I eat/the way I cook. In winter I make so many stews and casseroles and as spring comes I start easing off the “stick to your ribs” type food and more complex salad with grains and meat and light meals to go with the lighter and longer days. I also lighten my makeup and switch the products I use from the nurturing winter balms to spring/summer cleansers. More bright colours and less heavy shades! More daring and experimental colours that pick up the sunshine that’s finally emerged from hiding.
But I never lose the red lipstick 😉

For me spring is when the birds are singing on my way to work, the air smells fresh and people are smiling more as the dark winter is over! Bring on the spring!!!
When the country side turns from dark and gothic to light, pink and playful. And I get to go out with my friends for the first picnic of the year!

I tend to look at the ground a lot whilst I’m walking so I always notice the start of Spring when the pavements are scattered with pink blossom petals. It makes me feel hopeful although I couldn’t pinpoint why. 😉

Well that’s an easy one; a whole new range of season-ready and hugely lust-inducing make-up gets me feeling *seriously* spring like 😀 That and al fresco coffee drinking. I miss being able to drink coffee outside coffee shops, so as soon as it’s warm enough to do so I start getting my spring on. AMAZING prize xx
I get into the Spring fling by wearing bright colours and switching my jeans for flowy skirts! The best thing about Spring has to be going for long walks by the river in the sunshine 🙂

The first day I walk home from work and it is still bright!! Its great to think of the summer coming! Thanks!
My lipstick gets me in the mood for spring. Although I absolutely love wearing the boldest, darkest lip colour in the winter, it’s not very pretty. Spring however, is a season to get all pretty so I’ll wear my Lovejoy blusher, a pretty reddish pink lip gloss and I’m feeling all spring-y!
For me, spring has arrived when you can finally feel the warmth of the sun in the morning, and your feet finally get some TLC as you rediscover the perfect peach tootsie polish!

I just love cherry blossoms! It’s my favourite spring fragrance as well, I have a couple of versions of it and I can’t wait to use them. Plus the flowers are so pretty. 🙂 There’s a road lined with cherry trees in our town and it looks so beautiful in bloom. ♥

When the kids Spring and Summer clothes appear in stores. I live vicariously through my kids and they have the most amazing brightly coloured clothes (I pretty much live in black), I just love picking things out for them. I’ve already spent more money than we have on turquoise and royal blue skinny jeans, sunshine yellow sweaters with sequins and flouro pinks. Amazing. Bright and sunshiney after a winter of taupes, beiges and red!
Being able to get my toes out, and show of bright pedicure colours! Simple but effective way of getting into Spring

Deffo loving the lighter nights, wearing pretty spring/summery clothes, going for a few cocktails with the girls on the marina watching the pretty boats and the sunset. And also wearing more glowy/bronzed makeup and bright coloured lips
I know spring is in the air when my nose begins to twitch – and no I’m not Sabrina!As much as I love seeing everything come into blossom, allergies ruin that aspect for me. For me spring is all about shrugging off that winter coat and seeing more daylight!
Having a proper good old sort and clear out, boxing away my blatantly winter clothes (bye bye faux fur!) into the attic and purchasing spring/summer stuff ALWAYS makes me feel more springy 🙂

The beautiful flowers that come out in spring get me feeling ready for lighter days and slightly warmer weather! I love daffodils they always lighten my mood, and spraying flower scented perfume :D.

I don’t know it’s name i English, but the flower that in Latin is called Anemone nemorosa is spring itself to me.
Where I grew up, the ground would be covered in it. And for a couple of weeks, we could run and play in something that looked like a scene from a romantic costume drama. I live in a different place now, but every spring, I need to find a field of these flowers and just take in the sight and feel of spring 🙂
For me, spring starts when you can wear your spring and summer clothes again! Leave the coat at home and go outside with a summer dress (and maybe still a thin jacket though :D). And to wear a new shimmery blush that goes along with my mood.
The flawless fragileness of the world. young birds, pastelcoloured petals, thin branches, perhaps young love… the air of Hope and endless possibilities that reunites everyone.

There’s a point sometime in March when you can actually smell the difference in the air and know that spring is coming. It’s a bit like fresh grass, blossom and just no iciness to it like in the depths of winter. I always notice it early evening and it makes me feel so energised no matter how I’ve been feeling up till then!
What an amazing competition!
I get feeling very spring like when I wake up in the morning and the sunlight is streaming through the window- and its still early. Just sets the day up nicely! I also like seeing the daffodils out and the spring lambs jumping around their field (have seen a couple already so I am getting excited!!)

My spring fling is my husband! We met in the spring 13 years ago when I was in England studying. The watery sunshine of spring mornings, the later twilight, the snowdrops, the lovely wet, earthy green smell in the air and being able to walk to a pub and have a drink outside all remind me of the first rush of being in love. We now live in the UK and share all of the joys of spring with our two little girls.
Thanks for the chance!

I live in dark and dingy South London, where people would rather kill each other than smile, but there comes a point when the sky turns blue, and the few flowers that survive here start to bloom, that the city becomes a great place to live. The grey gets covered in green and pink, people are much chirpier and my hot postie gets his shorts out! Hurrah!
I know when it’s spring because I start sneezing more than usual. Yay allergies. 😛

I live in Seville, Spain and if you have ever been here in spring, you will never ever forget it. Granted, the winter here is never too cold or rainy, so one would think the arrival of the spring season does not make a huge difference. How wrong can you be!
There are a few days in March when suddenly you go out on the street and feel enveloped by the amazing, subtle fragrance of the orange blossom emanating from the orange trees that line the streets of the old town. It gives you such an intoxicating feeling, a wonderful way to start a workday morning with a smile on your face. Then come Easter that scent gets mixed with the incense dispersed by the Holy week processions that parade around the city all day and night and turn Seville into an incredible festival of art and music.
That’s spring for me!

What’s your spring fling? What gets you feeling spring-like and fresh after a long winter?
Oooo for me it has to be when the sweet smelling scent of my mum’s vanilla plant starts to waft through my bedroom window (the plant is outside in the garden); when it starts to bloom in spring, I instantly kick into ‘spring mode’. My body and mind feel refreshed, regenerated and ready to kick start a whole new year, in a whole new me.

For me it has to being able to come home from uni at 4 and it still be light outside. It means I can go running as the sun just begins to go down and see all the beautiful colours of the sky and the new flowers in the fields. Which always brings a smile to my face and makes me work just that little bit harder – plus feel more motivated to go!

This may not be the most obvious of answers but for me, this spring means CHRISTMAS!
Ive been working in the Middle East for a year now and my winter here has been saturated with beach picnics and raybans. Dont get me wrong, it’s been quite the experience but not to have been able to spend Christmas with the people I love most was awful.
This March i’ll be popping on a plane to go home and this spring will mean Christmas (the sequil!!) in my household, complete with tree, extended family and turkey with all the trimmings – Its not conventional but i cant wait to hang up my pastels and sundresses and experience my beautiful spring festivites with my family.

Seeing daffodils grow makes me happy 🙂 And lighter mornings! I find it so depressing getting up and coming home from work in the dark during winter so it really cheers me up when it starts getting lighter! 🙂 x
Any other year I would have said that for me spring starts right off the day the first bunches of mimosa appear at the florist’s. Having lived a few years in the south of France, this is the ultimate symbol of spring for me. The itty bitty woolly flowers are of such a shocking-in-your-face shade of yellow that no one can reasonably think of winter anymore when seeing them. This year however, sping will start as soon as my second son decides to make its way out to discover the world. However bleak and rainy the weather over Paris is after he is born, it WILL be spring in our hearts(thank Goodness it should happen any day, hour perhaps? ^_^)

Spring for me is a double edged sword..
I love the lighter evenings, the promise of warmer days, the daffodils springing up and the cheer that is witnessed in most people’s faces.. However it also heralds the time when my nose starts to twitch, my eyes water and the start of my hayfever misery.
So in an effort to cheer myself up I always purchase a summery gloss and a good waterproof mascara 🙂
Amazing competition @beautyswot
For me, its when the snow drops appear, poking their little white heads out of the ground. Last year this happened when there was still snow on the ground, such a lovely thought to think that the warm summer is just around the corner!

I love it when the bright shades of green return from winter’s muted shades. The weather is warmer so I can get out to the park with my little boy instead of being cooped up in the house. We also love seeing the lambs frolicking in the fields and the new flowers bursting into life. Spring is such a lovely time, one of renewal. @RedRoseMummy

I have S.A.D. so as soon as the nights start to get longer I’m really happy.
The thing which screams spring to me is when you go out one morning and EVERYTHING has suddenly come into bloom overnight. There’s always one day where it’s so noticeable. The previous day might have been as grey as anything, but all of a sudden it looks like someone has swapped a black and white photo for a colour one. It’s a magical day and I’ve loved it ever since I was a small kid. To this day it makes me want to skip for joy! I hate the greyness and love colour!

Spring for me is when I can have my hands out of my pockets without swearing and when the wind blows over my face and its comfortable and refreshing, instead of sending shivers down my spine and making me feel like I will die before I get home. x
I always switch from my winter perfume (love etc by body shop) to my spring perfume (alien by thierry muglar). It just makes me think that the cold months of winter are finally over 🙂 naomicomp@hotmail.co.uk
I know Spring is here when I leave the house one morning and there is the hint of warmth in the air and it feels like Winter has suddenly lifted. I know it’s time to put away the rich colours and heavy scents and get out the lights and brights and the floral fragrance. I can’t wait.

My spring fling is … CHANGE
When the sky’s become more brighter and the days become longer , the air becomes warmer and I can feel the suns angels gently kiss my cheeks
And when the little bursts of new colours become more significant in people’s life’s , When old things start to change and blossom into beautiful new prospects .. And when old trends start to move on into Unique new creations with subtle hints of pinks and reds , plus dashing pops of bright bold’s blues and greens .. Fresh from a long drowning winter blues comes simply sublime spring ( my favorite season of the year ) x
I love spring. I love the smell of fresh air in the morning, the nature coming back to life, the warm wind breeze. The visuals are amazing, colours starting to get more intense, the leaves, the flowers,the sun, the sky….ahhh, spring, such a bliss! When all of that is topped with a gorgeous Spring Makeup Collection such as NARS’ everything is perfect 🙂

Spring fever sets in when I finally get to wear mega shades again – nothing like a pair of dark glasses to add some glam to your day. For a complete top to toe feeling, I just love that first pedicure after the winter months feeling – something electric to get the blood flowing & shock out the cobwebs. Then what finally really seals the deal for me is seeing all the new buds & acid green new leaves oozing out the ends of the bare branches of the trees and of course the wild lipstick like crocuses emerging after the frosty winter.

Often there’s a sudden heatwave around April – it makes everyone happy and hopeful after the short, dark days of winter. When I was young we’d change to our summer uniforms as soon as it was warm. The smell of spring flowers always reminds me of walking to school in the sunshine…
I forgot my name! @LauraWheat Thank you.
My cats shedding their winter hair. This is the sign spring has come. It’s like mother nature tapping on a window pane. Once I brush all their old coat off they glisten in the sun. It’s like a rebirth.
I think Spring for me is the culmination of a few little things that combine to make my days a lot brighter! Firstly, I love the lighter mornings- my little girl gets me up at 6 every morning and waking up when it’s light rather than dark and depressing is wonderful! Secondly, switching a heavy foundation for a much lighter mineral one makes my morning routine a little nicer and saves me five minutes. Finally, the very best thing is the shedding of layers!! I hate thick wooly clothes and clumpy boots so to go outside in flat ballet pumps, dresses and light jackets is divine!
I get in the mood for spring once all my essays have been handed in…which won’t be for quite a long time for me! This is my final year so it’ll be even better this year. A bright pedicure and a fresh floral fragrance usually do the trick too!

It’s only spring time for me once the park round the corner from my house is carpeted with bluebells! @lauradarnley
I lighten everything up from my blusher to nailvarnish and celebrate with a new lipgloss. A glass of something fruity and a de-fuzz and spring is truly sprung! X
For me, it feels like spring the moment I can leave work and notice that it is not pitch black outside yet. It is time to break out the spring clothes, banish the black opaques and wool sweaters to the wardrobe for a few months, and of course to get a mani/pedi with spring colours and to lighten up my lipstick and eyeshadow. Dark colours and spring just don’t work.

My Spring Fling is seeing the beautiful colours with the flowers coming back into blossom, nature resurfacing and bringing my nephew out for walks showing him all the new flowers, nature and his inquisitive little eyes taking it all in 🙂 It’s my favourite time of the year!

It’s my boyfriend’s birthday on March 1st so that’s when it really feels like we’re in the height of spring. We always celebrate with a champagne breakfast in bed, the sunlight streaming through the curtains. We open the window of our bedroom wide and watch the ducks and the ducklings sail down the canal opposite our house which is always lined with daffodils come March. It feels so special and calming.

I know spring is coming when everywhere seems so much brighter and happier as if everything knows that spring is coming. Like when there OS the smell of the fresh and new green grass or the new flowers that are starting to pop out. It’s when it is still a bit cold but the sun is shining and thus there is still that certain warm feeling.
Colours such as your spring collection offer that transition feel that is needed from the gloomy winter to the new and fresh spring.
Thanks a lot !!!!!

Spring is ending the daily 20minute search for gloves and hats for the kids, drive g to school in daylight, starting to mow the grass (with enthusiasm, no less) and ditching the dark nails whilst cracking open a new bottle of the brightest pinkest varnish I can find!

Being an April baby, I associate soft pink blossom filled trees to make me feel that spring has sprung. I also imagine them to be lining Parisian streets…
