Beauty Squared Round-Up - March 23, 2014

Hello readers! We hope that you're enjoying your weekends. Spring is definitely in the air!

• Beauty picks from the always-radiant Cate Blanchett and some cheaper but just-as-effective versions. 
• The Muse shares some of her picks for spring, from Laura Mercier, Bath and Body Works, Clinique and Etude House. 
• If you like electric-pastel nail colours, take a look at OCC's Plastic Passion Nail Lacquers.
• Do you struggle to keep your brows looking their best? Anastasia Beverly Hills may have something you need. Click through to learn more.
• Check out this kinda-genius Etsy idea: a makeup/docking station. You can use it for watching YouTube tutorials while putting on makeup. 
• The seven most common makeup blunders and how to prevent/fix them. 
• Makeup can make us look older, especially if we have dry skin or aging skin. Here are some makeup tips for looking younger.
• Dry skin? Winter-dehydrated skin? Here are some heavy-duty moisturizers for you.
• Runway inspiration for spring's pink lips, from nude and natural to bubblegum to bold and bright.
• An earlier Beauty Squared post looked at Illamasqua's Sculpting Powder Duo - for contouring and highlighting. You can read it here. But here is why so many find contouring and highlighting so fascinating and/or so tricky to master. Do not use these celebrities as inspiration if you're looking into trying contouring and highlighting. 

Etsy Earrings!

I love Etsy and could spend hours on it. I especially love finding jewellery on Etsy. Here are some of the lovely earrings I've recently found and the links to the shops I bought them from!
