Spring Beauty with Target

Spring is officially here in less than two weeks! I can't wait to celebrate the seasonal change by wearing brighter makeup shades. As much as I love fall's darker hues, I'm ready to brighten things up. As an easy way to stay on top of the latest beauty trends, Target has a lot of budget-friendly options to create a gorgeous spring look.

The quickest way to spruce up your beauty routine? Update your lip color. The Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm ($16) gives an effortless, polished look with just a few swipes. You get a mega boost of hydration with shea butter, jojoba, vitamin E, peptides, and rose extract. After the lip balm wears off, you still get a flattering tint that's based on your pH level.

Glam Beauty Board: Red Carpet Edition

To celebrate the 2013 Oscar season in style, Glam sent several beauty essentials to members of the Glam Beauty Board so we could create our own red carpet look at home. 

Need plump, soft lips? Use the Bite Beauty Cinnamon Plumping Lip Oil to increase lip volume. Infused with cinnamon, pink pepper and resveratrol, the warm and tingly oil definitely worked its magic. The results are very noticeable, which really impressed me. Anytime I want super pouty lips, this lip oil will be my go-to product.

Put your best face forward with the Brazilian Peel With Advanced Renewal Serum. This weekly at-home peel is gentle enough for sensitive skin. At times my skin can be somewhat fussy but I had no irritation whatsoever. Made with 30% glycolic acid and açaì, this professional strength formula will result in a radiant complexion with smoother, brighter skin. Coupled with the new Advanced Renewal Serum, moisture levels are locked in while cell renewal increases.
