Congratulations, beauties! We made it out of winter. Spring is officially here, and we couldn’t be happier. Say hello to sun-shiny days, beautiful blossoms, and a few more hours of daylight, and a MASSIVE sayonara to coats, scarves, and miserably cold mornings.
Another reason we love spring? It’s the perfect opportunity to embrace new trends that are lighter, brighter, and bound to get you ready for the summer months.
The trend we’re loving right now? Tangerine lips. Yep, it’s all about orange. Sure, it’s a bit bolder than your average red or pink lippy, but there’s just something about the vibrant, eye-catching hue that has set our hearts all aflutter. And it looks like some of Hollywood’s hottest celebs couldn’t agree more, with the orange hue become more of a red carpet staple as the days pass.
