Beauty expert Rachel from @rachel_de_oliveria has given us a sneak peek into what’s in her bag – all the beauty products she’s obsessed with this spring!

Rachel says, “Cloud skin is in.” It’s basically softly mattified makeup – a hybrid style that is in between dewey and matte complexions. Not quite shine free or full shine, it's giving a naturally plump look to the skin. All part of the skinification of makeup. Rachel notes that she loves keeping her shine at bay so always carries a pressed powder, specifically the L'Oreal True Match Powder and the Nude By Nature Travel Brush in her bag.

The next product she has in her bag is the L'Oreal True Match Blush 160 Peach. She’s always reaching for the peach and melon shades in this blush! This is a must-have for her this spring. Using it not only on her cheeks but also on her eyes. We love a versatile product!

Have you kept your lips neutral this winter?

It’s time to whip out some big bold colours. Bright cherry lips are making a comeback this spring. And she’s found a perfect shade of Red-Hot in the Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink Longwear Liquid Lipstick.

Rachel is also loving a claw clip. These are all the rage at the moment. With so many ways to style them. Rach uses her claw clip to pop her hair in a natural messy quick updo. She notes they’re great because you never know when you might want to put your hair up. It is getting warmer! You can also use a claw clip to slick back the hair with the inclusion of a bit of gel, or even go for a half-up, half-down look too.

Find her claw clip at Hairhouse. It’s the Pink Pewter Translucent Clawed Hair Clip, Smoke on the Water.

Lastly, she loves to indulge in a new season scent. Rach has chosen Daisy Dream by Mark Jacobs as her spring pick, “It’s floral, fruity and always makes me feel fresh as a daisy – I just love it!”
