Spring is rapidly approaching, and consumers can look forward to the wonderful new collections that have been launched. Sephora offers consumers many options for every possible beauty need. Everything from cosmetics to skincare and beauty tools are available, and consumers can rest assured that they are all of the highest quality. A number of products have been released for spring by the Sephora brand, and the collaboration with Pantone Universe as well. A new collection featuring PANTONE 17-5641 Emerald is available at Sephora. The collection was inspired by the PANTONE chip. Many products have been released and they are incredible. The products feature high performance formulas and modern packaging.

The first product that was reviewed from the Sephora and Pantone Universe 2013 Color of the Year Emerald collection is a Color Grid Shadow Block in Bionic (emerald, white alyssum, crown). Other sets are: Eclipsed (emerald glitter, amberlight, olivine), Elemental (emerald shimmer, appleblossom, camel). They retail for $26 and the coordinating eyeshadows work well together. They are also very pigmented and go on smoothly to create a bevy of desired looks. The next product reviewed is the Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Liner which is long wearing and features a formula that will allow the product to glide on with a shimmer finish. The Color Watt Highlighting Mascara retails for $18. It is a beautiful emerald shade with a matte finish. It compliments the Graphic Sculpt Waterproof Jumbo Liner, but can be worn with any look. The final product from the collection that was reviewed is the Mini Graphic Effect Lacquers which retail for $18. The set contains three miniature polishes in Emerald (clear with emerald glitter), shimmer (emerald and silver) and matte metallic. The polishes go on smoothly with no streaking, and various nail looks can be achieved with the high quality products. This is a collection not to be missed.

Many other products from the Sephora brand were reviewed -- products from the spring collection. The first product retails for $16 and is the Desert Sunset Eyeshadow and Blush Palette. The product is divided into four eyeshadow trios: base, crease, and contour/liner. However, consumers can certainly create a number of looks. The palette contains twelve eyeshadows, one blush, and one bronzer. The shades have different finishes which allow consumers a broad range of looks that can be obtained using just the palette. The blush and bronzer is beautiful and pigmented like the shadows. It is important to not that the products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is small and compact: perfect to carry in one’s bag, or on travels. Another palette was reviewed: Pastel Pop Eyeshadow Palette. It is available for $28. There are eight eyeshadows contained in the palette. Like the other palette, there are no parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. The finishes are matte, shimmering and sparking. So many looks can be achieved, and this would be a wonderful addition to the collection of any make-up artist. The shadows are pigmented, and will not fade quickly. The shades will compliment any skin tone. One final eye product was reviewed: Pastel Pop Twinkle Light Eye Pencil. The shade reviewed is in Sparkling Gold. It is creamy, pigmented, and goes on to the eyelid with no tugging, skipping, or pulling. This shade in particular will compliment any eye color. There are two other shades available as well, and they retail for $12.

Three other cosmetics products from the new spring Sephora collection were reviewed. The first is the Pastel Pop Jumbo Glossy Lip Pencil in shade Orange. It retails for $10 and there are two other shades. The product acts as a lip pencil and lipstick in one, and has a shiny finish. The formula is creamy, shiny, and will provide hydration to the lips. This is perfect for everyone, and a wonderful color for the season. A cream blush was also reviewed and is perfect to carry for the on the go person. The Pastel Pop Color Adapt Blush is available for $14 and consists of a cream formula. The product will add a transparent, rose color to the cheeks for a natural look. It contains acai oil, cherry extract, and safflower seed oil. This is a product to use for the moments when one wants to achieve an effortless look. The final product that was reviewed from the Pastel Pop Color collection is the Pastel Pop Air Fresh Face Luminizing Powder. This product can be used as a highlighter for the cheek bones, or can be applied all over the face for an evenly distributed glow. It features an ultra-sheer formula, and can be worn alone or over any type of makeup. The powder can be used on any skin tone.

Apart from the outstanding array of cosmetics that have been released in the new spring collections, beauty and hair tools have been launched as well. The Archer retails for $16 and is a set of miniature stainless steel tweezers. They come in a clear case, and it is small enough to carry in one’s makeup bag, and certainly during travels. The tweezers will enable the user to groom eyebrows easily and precisely. This is a must-have for everyone. The hair tools are very convenient, and can be used for a variety of purposes and occasions. The Pin-Ups Bobby Pins with a metallic finish were reviewed. They are available for $5. The set comes with thirty-two hair pins. They feature a no-tug design which are comfortable to wear and can be used easily. One never knows when they will need a bobby pin for their hair, and this set is perfect. The Ribbon Hair Ties are available at Sephora for $8.50. The set is called ombre, and there are eight no-tug hair ties. These are nice for those with medium to long hair. The ties will not pull out or tug on the hair. They are comfortable and are fashionable as well.

Sephora is an incredible resource for consumers. It is a store where people can purchase products for any cosmetic need, and the lines of products carried are some of the best in the world. The spring collections are incredible, and worthy of your attention.
