I havent really experienced spring, thats because i have never been to the US. But when they ask me what my favorite season is, i always say spring. I just love the colors. Looking at all those movies and pics that shows this wonderful season, makes me wish that i can experience this soon. The colors are wonderful, the fashion is just to die for, and well, nature just seems to be opening up and more alive during spring. 😉

Favorite thing about spring is the sunshine which makes everything look bright and brings hope
I couldn´t say… Because where I we don´t have four well-defined seasons. It´s just freaking hot, or kinda hot and rainy. Right now it is way hot. I prefer the other season. And I love that palette.
my favorite thing about spring is the first few days of spring, when there air is still a little chilly but the sun is out and shining.The contrast between the cool crisp air and the warm sun is something i look forward to all year.It only lasts a couple days here in texas but while it does i’m delirious with spring fever!
My favourite thing about spring is seeing everyone out and about, riding bikes, walking dogs, and just being happier in general! 😀

My favorite thing about spring is wearing sandals and dresses. I also don’t like wearing socks and wearing shoes. I also love the new spring makeup lines.
My favorite thing about spring is how beautiful my campus looks, when the leaves are on the trees and the grass gets green again. The ice on the lake melts and the sailboats are out again.

My favorite thing about Spring is the sunbeams coming through the cherry blossom trees in my backyard. The petals fall off eventually and there is pink “snow” all over my driveway. So beautiful!

I can’t say I have only one favourite thing about spring…i have many! In Northern Ontario, one of the best feelings is on the first day that the sun comes out and melts the snow, and all us northerners leave our winter parkas at home. The first rain that washes away all of the road salt, and the roads are so clean and wide, not taken up by giant snowbanks anymore. Or the day it’s raining and you don’t have an umbrella because it broke in the fall…but the rain is warm and you don’t mind walking to the car anyways. That’s the kind of day that you’re almost guaranteed a rainbow when driving the trans-Canada highway. I honestly adore spring.
my favorite thing about spring is that summer is next! I love summertime. What a beautiful palette!
may favourite thing about spring is the amount of sun we get (though i always stay out of the sun as much as possible). it’s so glorious and warm, taking away the gloom of winter *eww*. plus, it also means its the end of the term for uni and no more studying!
cheers,
H.

My favorite thing about summer is the sun on my skin, & the warm summer air. The days are long & beautiful, & the nights are perfect for watching the stars.
My favourite thing about Spring is waking up to nice fresh air n sunlight so I can do my daily routine (make up n all) in natural sunlight even on early mornings .. and not have it all melt off by 11:00 in summer humidity. (Sadly it’s nearly always scorching summer where I live).
My not favorite thing is allergies and being sick. So i emailed you Saturday a.m. before heading out to the circus and a day out with the boyf…and by saturday evening I totally had laryngitis. No fun.
My favorite thing about spring is that it always feels so hopeful. Everything is returning to life, and it’s starting to not be so bone-chillingly cold.
My favourite thing about spring has to be the flowers… Especially crocuses and tulips. I know those are probably already done in some places, but here they should be starting in the next month or so! I can’t wait!
I love pussywillows too, and I have seen some of those already, so I’m pretty excited that spring is actually starting, despite the 8 inches of snow we had this past weekend!
Briana´s last blog post..Dio’s Snow Day…
My favorite thing about spring is walking through sun-showers!
My favorite spring thing is being able to put away all my puffy, winter wear.
My favorite thing about Spring is my annual trip to our home in Charleston, SC. After a particularly long and cold NH winter this year, it’s especially nice to feel the warm breezes caress my bare arms and feel the sun’s rays on my back. The blossoming trees and new green grass delights my senses.
The best thing about spring is no more snow! I live in New England and I am so tired of cold and snow! Be gone!!! lol
I agree with Kaley that i like walking through sun-showers….I also like wearing less clothes! No more bulky layers.

I have to agree with you Karen. I love my massive flip-flop collection. My feet need to breathe!
The best thing about spring is being able to go outside again, without all the puffy winter coats and scarves. It’s the absolute best thing to be out in the sunshine again.
I love spring because I feel happy just by being outside (wonderful sunny but no too hot weather) and because I can wear my dresses without freezing or having to layer up! Definately the best time of the year 🙂
I love spring because I can wear sandals too! I also love spring because it’s nice outside and you can go for strolls in the sun on the weekends and take the dogs outside 🙂
my favorite part about spring is being able to sit outside in the park and read a book without worrying about getting too cold. 🙂
That is such a pretty palette!
The thing I love about spring would also be wearing sandals and having my tootsies free. I love wearing spring dresses and shorts and shirts. All these girly things makes sneezing my arse off from all the pollen so much better to cope with. LOL
My favorite part of spring has to be the fact that I can start to take long walks in the warm evenings again. I just love to be able to stroll around aimlessly and forget about the stresses of the day.
Sandals, definitely. All the happy, makeup lines with fresh colors. Making mint sun tea.
what do i love about spring? the chance to get out of my drab winter colors (although i did brighten up a little this season) and put my coats away.
Mine is opening the windows and letting the clean fresh air flow thru after having the house closed up all winter.
My favorite thing about spring is that I can finally stop using the heater, and start opening the windows to let the house air out. I hate how stuffy it gets in my house, but it’s too cold to let some precious heat out ;P.
What I love most about Spring is the feeling of being renewed. Everything seems possible in the Spring, especially after the long grey, freezing winter.
Spring is all about the sunshine and grass turning greener day by day. It lifts my mood and energizes me!
Favorite thing is tank tops and flip flops!!! Also lots of bright white clothes!!!
My favorite thing about spring is the weather and my mom’s backyard, which is FULL of roses. And also the feeling you get when you can start wearing shorts again, without getting a frostbite 🙂

Hi Karen!
Thanks for having this contest. I’m on a no buy for nail polishes for Lent. I haven’t bought anything at all. It’s difficult. Spring is my favorite season. The obvious is a promise of warmer weather. Also much more sun. I get really depressed when there isn’t any sunny weather. I also, like everyone else love the flowers. My Mother was an amazing gardener. She just loved it. I always remember her in the garden digging away and so enjoying it. I can’t stand to put my hands in dirt! She grew the most amazing flowers. I at least drove her around to the garden centers and we picked out flower bulbs together. We would look over the flower catalogs and pick out bulbs. I always think of her when I see the beautiful flowers of Spring.
Not having to wear fur boots! Lmao and wearing short sleeves isntead of stifling turtlenecks <3

Pretty Spring dresses!
What I like most about spring is that I can eat more and not be as conscious (Like I ever am anyway)
My favorite thing about spring is the flowers, bunnies, sun 🙂
When I lived in Japan, my favorite thing about spring was the arrival of plum blossoms and then cherry blossoms. During cherry blossom season, it seemed like the whole world turned pink! Plus there were lots of fun parties, strolls with the hubby, and cute seasonal products that tied in with the cherry blossoms.
Now that I live in the US again, my favorite things are wearing sandals that show off cute spring pedis! I do still love flowers, but I live in Tucson, so we don’t really get many flowers here.
My favourite thing about spring is the warm weather. And I can wear dresses without being cold.
I really hope I win this beautiful makeup!
Spring typically means less chance for snow and summer is around the corner. Seattle has the best summers.
My favorite thing about spring is all the beautiful colors after the long gray Chicago winter. I especially love everything PINK!
iam not excited about spring, cause that means its about to be sooo too hot for me. i like 65 degree weather, no higher than 70 and no lower than 60 degrees. i live in los angeles, and the summer drives me crazy like today i already thinks its too hot and its in the 70s. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Tess,
I live in the Chicago area too and I love seeing the beautiful colors too (I prefer purple or blue over pink though).
My favorite part about spring is seeing everything coming alive and seeing the vibrant colors after an arduous white and bleak autumn and winter.
My fav thing about spring is a tie. I love when the flowers start blooming and you can see the buds on all the trees and bushes. I also love that it starts to get warmer outside and me and the kids can go outside and play!
It’s rainy season for us right now on the west coast, but winter seems to be sticking around still.

Hi Karen!
It is a beautiful spring day in my hometown 🙂 Early spring is my favorite season of all. There are first bright green leaves on the trees and dandelions are in full bloom ,yellow and white, Tabs would love playing there 🙂 There are plenty of orange tulips outside of my university and some bushes turned light pink and yellow. I wish that a makeup artist could look at these gorgeous colors and create a similar palette; the view is truly inspirational! The Clarins palette looks like it has plenty of bright summer colors- i especially like the purple one.
I am also a subscriber 🙂 Hope you have a nice spring day soon as well!

What I like about spring is the fact that the birds are singing when I have to get up in the morning. I am not really a morning person, so that cheers me up a lot. :o)
I also like how nice and fresh everything smells, how everything gets colourfull – and I love that everybody starts wearing brighter colours in spring.
Also, I am not a summer person; I like the sun, but not hot weather. So spring is very nice for me. :o)
Breaking out the BIRKENSTOCKS! Cute? Not so much. Comfy? HELL YES!
Right now, though, it’s snowing. 🙁
I live in Minnesota. Yes, we have a cold winter, but we also get to experience each individual, lovely season!! All four are exciting when they begin… but winter gets soooooo long that by January, we start to go a little crazy. So when days start to warm up and you see excited people driving their convertibles with the tops down when it’s only 40F… it just makes you smile. 🙂 So my favorite part of spring is the change that occurs.. from things like the snow and ice melting to the birds shrieking at 5 am to the flooding!
Shedding the layers of clothes and winter dreariness!
the best thing about spring are… the dresses!! soo pretty! lol hope i win!

I could use a little reminder that spring is here… because here in NYC, it’s still so cold and depressing! esp. since it’s finals week too! boooooo…. this palette would be the perfect reminder! 😀
For the first time, I can say the thing I love about spring is the bright, colorful makeup! I’ve always been a minimalist and hated color (not quite goth, but you know, just sad), but this year I embrace it!

is that it means that i can start breaking out my spring/summer shoes!
(I can wear heels without fearing the ice :P)

I love the bright colours of spring…and seeing the summer makeup collections coming out!
More activities! I realize how child-like this sounds especially when you’re eighteen, but I go to a very small school and a lot of the things we do depend on the weather. I get so used to being cooped up inside and than the color and birds come back and it all feels right.
Definitely no more bulky jackets! 🙂

My favourite thing about spring is… I get to pack away my bulky winter jacket!! I have been wearing it since flippin October, darn Canadian winters grr! I have been dreaming of wedge sandals, flowy dresses and light colours for weeks now 🙂
my favorite thing about spring is EASTER CANDYYY!!!!
flowers blooming & all that jazz too haha
My favorite thing about Spring is being able to put the Winter Coat away! Thank you for the contest!
Sexy,smooth tan legs….
Smell of flowers…
L’amour…
Spring in the pacific northwest of the US doesn’t mean sun, unfortunately… so my favorite part of spring is all of the beautiful spring flowers. I love crocuses, daffodils, tulips and all of the other kinds of bulbs!
wearing practicaly no clothing because you are in a bathing suit all day or miniskirts and shorts with tank tops
My favorite things about spring are the colors and scents – fresh green grass and colorful flowers… blue sky, light clean breezes. Ahhhh… makes me want to lie in the sun all day :).
warmer weather ahhh lol!
I live in canada so in spring its still not warm enough
to wear open toe shoes, but i do love me some flip flops and skirts in the summer:]my fave thing about spring is
all the snow melting,and warmer weather coming:]wearing bright fun colors like baby blue, yellow, light pink!!!!~
I love that it’s not too cold and not too hot! Just right 🙂
The air smells clean and fresh! It’s warm, but not sweltering.
Let me win!
I love the being able to go outside in the sun. I always feel healthier and look healthier in the spring.
My favorite thing about spring would have to be the weather in general. When it is beautiful outside and I can wear short sleeves during the day and maybe need a light jacket at night… LOVES IT!!! I hate sweating and being to hot and not being able to control it but then again I hate being freezing cold because I think large jackets/heavy coats hide beautiful outfits! lol!
My favorite thing about the spring is more daylight and sunny weather! And I have to agree with you on wearing sandals, or for me it’s specifically flip flops. I love seeing my pretty painted toenails!
Beautiful spring weather! I was so not feeling the winter season.
My favourite thing about spring is the weather! Here in Canada it then becomes the perfect time to dig out the light jackets, and skirts 🙂
Its also the perfect temperature to wear makeup – its not so cold that your face is freezing and peeling, and not so hot that you’re sweating it off 🙂

My favorite thing about spring used to be daffodils (in england). I’d watch out for the bright yellow flowers and when I see them I’d know spring was truly here 🙂

I love summer because I hate cold weather even though I live in New England.. and I love the feeling of warm weather creeping up on us.. and by may we’re wearing less and less amounts of clothing. It makes me feel fresh!
Sandy´s last blog post..Review: Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
I love the bright colors I can wear..turqoise, coral, white, hot pink…and the fact that I can wear flip flops everyday while I’m on summer vacation!

I want to try my hand at a small vegetable garden…
I’m with you on the sandals — TOE FREEDOM! 🙂
Gorgeous palette — would love to win!
My favorite thing about spring (hehe rhyme) is definitely the sandals, tanks and skirts!!
My favorite thing about spring is the smell of melting snow and foliage coming back to life. I live in a place with lots of snow and it’s so nice when it starts to melt. Everything is just easier (especially when you’re always late to work like me)
Alli´s last blog post..Really? REALLY?!
My favorite thing is wearing flip flops. I love going shopping for new flip flops every spring!!
I can’t wait to wear some spring clothes and I like the way the air smells in spring!
I like how it’s heating up, but still bearable to deal with in Southern California. Summer is a whole different story, though!
I love flowers and the budding of leaves during the spring, light rain are nice too. Some time its very sexy to walk in the rain with jeans and booths.
Spring means semesters is halfway done then it’s summer!
I love the spring time because that is the season I chose to get married 11 years ago. Another one of my favorite things about spring is that I can wear my sandals, flip flops, and thongs. My feet just feel so free! I love my naked feet, and who doesn’t want to show off a fresh new pedi?!?
spring means good weather…. time for ligter clothes…..
For me spring simbolyse regeneration. Everything is more alive. It`s like just woke up child who forgot today that yesterday he had any troubles at all, touched up by the sun he wokes up with smile in the new day full of smells and joy.
My favorite thing about spring is that it means there are only three more months of work until summer vacation! (I’m a teacher :D)
My favorite thing about spring – that I don’t have to wear 100 layers of clothes to be warm, the sidewalks are not slippery so it is nicer and easier to run around in high heels … no gloves, no scarfs, hats for the style-sake only, flowers blooming, birds singing … happy, happy, happy! 🙂
Spring means flowers! I can wear flowery stuff claiming that it is because of spring!
Favorite things have to be pedicures & sandals….can’t wait!
My favorite thing about spring is throwing on the cute floral dresses and sandals. And, spring makeup.yay..
My favorite thing about spring is the feeling of love in the air, fresh pedicures, great fruits and veggies at the store, blooming flowers, the way the sky looks and the new skin baring fashions!
Awww nice giveaway! I live in tropical country so I don’t actually feel the difference of the spring. Nonetheless I always get excited to see the new makeup line! 🙂
Devi Girsang´s last blog post..How Often Do You Say ‘Thank You’?
I love wearing flip flops and letting my feet breathe! Also showing off cute nail polish on my toesies. I also love the spring and summer makeup trends–always bright pinks and teals that I love. I also love wearing cute sunglasses and headscarves and funky color combinations you can’t get away with in winter!
what i love is how everything looks alive and colorful… and the fashion and makeup trends during the season simply complement nature… pretty pretty 🙂
I Love my new MAC makeup, I just went to my local MAC store and got a bunch of new makeup and am going to toss my old stuff – (well, not all of it – but the old powder – ick) I regret not buying more eyeshadows and some brushes since my brushes are kinda blah and worn…I guess I’ll make do for now…*sigh* I love the new OPI nail color I have on – “My chihuahua bites” everyone says it’s gorgeous…though it needs touching up now…since I do so much typing… 🙂
Hmm…My favorite thing has to be feeling the sun on your back : )
especially after living through the fog in norcal!
My favorite thing about spring is losing the heavy winter coat, scarves and hats. I love the freedom of that!
IT IS SO HARD TO FIND A JOB!!! I am graduating in May and have no plans still :[
I LOVE SPRING! It’s my favorite season, and not just because my birthday lands in it. Everything is blooming and pretty, and I can wear my sandals in the evening. That’s important to me!
Linda´s last blog post..I’ve been loved…
Ooooh this has been on my wish list since you reviewed it Karen. I hope I win 🙂
I love Spring (although I hate the allergies) because I can wear flowy skirts, linen, breezy tops & sandals. I also start to wear more colors in my clothing, nail polish and makeup.
My favorite thing about spring is seeing the cherry blossoms bloom in DC and the sunshine! perfect spring weather here i come! 🙂

I LOVE THE COLORS OF SPRING!!! whether it be in nature or in the new spring collections of makeup and clothes!
My favorite thing about spring is flowers! Lots and lots of them! 🙂
My favorite thing about spring is putting away the socks – I so look forward to lighter or no stockings!
Spring=the joy of gardening for me.
yummy!
WOW – the colours are soooo beautiful!
My favorite parts about spring are the warmer but still breezy days in southern Cali! =]
we only have 2 seasons in my country – wet and dry. but if we had 4 seasons, i think i’d like spring best because it brings out all the wonderful colors in nature – green leaves and flowers in different colors. 🙂
The best thing about spring is the sun finally rearing its head. I feel like the winter has been going on for ever.
The feeling of freedom … the wind on the bare hands, going out without bothering to dry the hair thoroughly, the chilliness in the morning, the smell of fresh grass…
My favorite part of Spring is seeing the beautiful green grass and all of the spring flowers bloom. I’m so ready to ditch my heavy, brown winter coat and start wearing pretty pastel colors too!
My favorite thing about spring is all the flowers that bloom!
The blanket of flowers that forms on the ground from my pink tab tree – kinda like a sugarsweet carpet over the grass.
I love spring so I can wear my yellow ballerina shoes and pastels makeup.
My favorite thing is the sun and the lack of snow – when living in chicago, you really appreciate those two things 🙂
heather´s last blog post..No more prying eyes for me
My favorite things are the end of winter shoes, new sandals & flip flops, and sun dresses. They make it so much easier to get dressed in the morning.
My fav thing about spring is the weather. I love being able to drive around with all my windows open and spend time outside without a coat 🙂
I’ve never tried Clarins before but that looks to be a pretty good price for a 6 shadow palette!
I’ve also never tried this brand before but it looks really cool! I actually don’t like spring that much. Explanation: I live in MN and spring here is just a big muddy mess. The snow turns brown (eww) and it gets all slushy. Definitely not a post-card scene of white blanketed landscapes.
My favorite thing about spring is fun, cheerful nail polish and walking my puppy in the rain while wearing my beloved Hunter wellies!
My favorite thing about spring its the weather…. A few rain spells, then sun with a cool wind. Sunglasses and the first few coffees with friends outdoors.
I love spring because its simply beautiful and everywhere is surrounded by colorful flowers.
The best thing about spring is the weather: not too hot and not too cool!
I just love EVERYTHING about spring!! And this palette. 🙂
The best thing about spring is that we can store our winter coats and forget about snow!
I don’t see many flowers and trees where I live… I love spring because I dread the humidity of summer, and I get to buy lots of crunchy, candy-coated easter eggs on sale at the drugstore!
I love spring because of the pretty flowers and trees. GREEEEEN!!! 😀 (but damn allergies…grrrr)
My favorite thing about spring has got to be how… invigorated I feel. Like yesterday, I went to the gym, and decided to step outside for a breather. The sunshine was lovely, the light breeze was warm, and I actually thought how nice it would be to take a run outside. I *don’t* run, as a rule, my knees don’t like it at all, but for a few moments… I thought it would just be a fine thing to do.
My favorite thing about Spring? When the lilacs begin to bloom- it’s the best fragrance in the world! And this year for Sprng- all the lavendar, pink and purple make-up palettes!
My favourite thing about spring is all of the pretty new makeup colours that come out and the warmer weather:)
That the sun is starting to shine brightly :O
My favorite thing about the spring is that I can wear skirts and that the days are getting longer 🙂
Its summer all year long in Miami im not really sure what spring feels like…or fall and winter for that matter lol
my favorite thing about spring is the perfect weather for picnics and playing sports out in the sun and not freezing your butt off outside!
What I love with spring is that people change for the better. The smile more and are looking at the brighter side of the life in this season.
Sexy Sadie´s last blog post..Det gikk visst an
My favorite thing about Spring is all the beautiful bright colors. Fall is so dreary with all the black, grey, and brown. I like floral patterns and happy colors like fucshia, yellow, and tourqoise that are associated with Spring! They make me feel cheery! 🙂
My favourite thing about Spring: more daylight!
My favorite thing is seeing the spring flowers bloom, especially here where we still get snow in March! Seeing the purple and yellow crocus peeking out in the middle of a pile of white snow is inspiring!
The thing I like best about spring and summer is the warm breeze wafting across my face and not having to wear PANTYHOSE to work.
hi long time reader first time commenter. haha, no. i just found your site a few weeks ago. i think i saw one of your videos on youtube. idk, but im glad i did. you seem really nice and i get some good tips & advice.
well im not really good at favorites. i guess just the overall weather. it leads way to so many good things. like the pretty flowers and the way it smells after it rains. knowing the next season will also be warm. im with you on the socks suck thing. sandles are great but i also like walking around barefoot in my front and backyard. also weather goes right through me and im always freezing walking around the house in long pj pants, top, and robe. and the robe is such a pain. its heavy and gets caught on everything. and even with the robe im usually still cold. and then things gets me colder like the toilet seat, lol, drinking water etc. so yeah, quite freeing to walk around with some shorts and a top on and not having chills & goosebumps all day long. and i love the outdoors, so we get to put the trampoline back up, go to the park, have a campfire, play fetch with my doggie, (except she plays keep away and chace me around the yard lol), oooo chalk on the patio lol (i like to draw), me & my lil sis did that already. just being outside. its so beautiful. except when i see a bee- then i go running inside lol. oh, how could i almost forget. the sun! it feels sooooo good on the body. i go tanning sometimes and it just can not compare. and the whole sunnyness just puts me in a better mood.
so yeah. i think im gunna stop now lol. hope you have a good day. i get to sleepover at my boyfriends today and i have new episodes of lost AND the office. psyched =)
ahh one more thing, your kitty is SO cute! i love animals, how can anyone not?
Favorite part about spring? Walking my pups!
This giveaway is sooooo pretty!
My favorite thing about Spring is definitely being able to go outside for walks! I feel like I’m coming out of a winter shell, and it’s the best feeling!
My favorite thing about spring is that there’s more light during the day.
I love wearing thinner clothes and changing to lighter and brighter colors, but I think my very favorite thing is the daylight being longer. <3
my favorite thing about spring is the nice weather =)silly, but yeah
I love it for the warmer weather. You don’t need a winter coats or a scarf. It’s still cold here, low 40s.
My favorite thing about Spring is the start of Spring living in Washington, DC! The Kite Festival and the Cherry Blossom Festival.. so inspiring, they bring you outdoors, the celebration of colors, community.. it’s all so beautiful! I love starting off Spring attending these festivals… most importantly.. the kid was born on the very weekend these festivals take place… (this coming weekend!)
kia´s last blog post..NYX Kiwi- Great Green!
my favorite thing about spring has got to be the lovely pastel colors I start to see all around, whether it be peoples makeup, clothes, shoes, the flowers. The colors get brighter and softer, very soothing
My favorite thing about Spring is being able to be able to run barefoot outside after my dog while wearing big, flowy skirts. =) I think I would be content if I could do that every day.
My fav is the color green! i just love looking at the new leaves with that rich, beautiful, new green color. it makes me all happy.
My favourite thing about spring is probably sunshine!
The best thing about spring is my birthday lol!
Suzanne´s last blog post..Gosh Nail Lacquer
Technically there’s no Spring here in Singapore – it’s just hot tropical weather year round (with a couple of monsoon periods). So my favourite would be Spring collections – clothes and makeup!
perfect weather a lot of hours of sun..
My favorite thing about spring is wearing lighter layers and flats with no socks!
My favorite thing about spring is the smell of blossomed trees!
xoxo
