Spring Fever: Maybelline New York Sweet Thing Collection

Hey Glamazons! As you know, pretty pastels are all the rage for the spring season and (this may be partly due to the warmer temps and sunshine here in NY right now) but I've been itching to rock the look. If you're looking to do the same (without breaking the bank) then hit your local drugstore and scoop Maybelline's Sweet Thing collection. This special limited edition line includes a delectable assortment of super girly palettes of candy colored shades and is available in stores starting this month (March 2010).

Pictured here are shades from the Express Finish Nail Color line ($4.25 apiece).

Below are shades and swipes from the rest of the collection:

Color Sensational Lip Gloss

(from l to r): Sweet & Sassy; Sweet Tooth; Strawberry Glaze; Triple Yum; Sweet Caramel

(from top to bottom): Sweet & Sassy; Sweet Tooth; Strawberry Glaze; Triple Yum and Sweet Caramel

Price: $6.49 apiece

My Pick: Strawberry Glaze. It's the perfect shade for everyday wear and I really like the punch of light pink it adds to my lips.

Expert Wear Duo Eye Shadow

(from l to r): Excite-Mint; Pie In The Sky; Goody Plum Drop; Just Peachy

Price: $4.50 apiece

My Pick: Pie In The Sky. I love wearing blue eyeshadow, but realize it can be a bit much for daytime wear. This shade leaves just right the amount of blue on my lids without being too overwhelming.

Eye Express Cream Shadow Stick

(from l to r): Lovely Lilac and Minty

Also available in: Oh My Meringue; Touch of Toffee; A La Mauve and Frosted

Price: $6.95 apiece

My Pick: Lovely Lilac. Such a sheer wash of color but with awesome lasting power. If the thought of layering eyeshadow scares you, try using these shadow sticks. The rounded applicator tips make for easy application and you can blend by smudging with your fingertips.
