My Current Beauty & Skincare Favorites for Spring
With spring officially settling in, I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my current favorite products, from skincare to makeup to those everyday beauty essentials I find myself constantly reaching for. Here’s what I’ve been loving lately!
Ilia Lip Tint Balm: The Ultimate Multi-Tasker (Shade Wanderlust)
If there’s one product I don’t leave the house without, it’s the Ilia Lip Tint Balm. It’s hydrating, lightweight, and gives a beautiful sheer tint that’s both effortless and versatile. Growing up, I wasn’t one to wear much makeup…lipstick was my go-to, especially the Revlon Raisin Rouge, which I borrowed from my mom. These days, I gravitate toward products that combine comfort and color, and Ilia does exactly that. I apply it on my lips, cheeks, and even my eyelids for a monochromatic, natural look. It’s truly a staple in my routine. Everything from this brand is a must-buy!
L’Oréal Glow Highlight Stick:
A Subtle Highlight
This highlight stick from L’Oréal has quickly become a favorite of mine. It has a natural, radiant finish that enhances the complexion without looking overdone. I like to apply it under the brow bone, on my cheekbones, eyelids, and down the bridge of my nose. It’s perfect for those midday touch-ups when I want to refresh my look without using powders or heavier products. It’s convenient and adds just the right amount of glow.
Fenty Beauty Bronzer Stick: Seamless Definition
Bronzer has always been a part of my daily routine, especially during the cooler months when my complexion tends to be more uneven. The Fenty Beauty Bronzer Stick is creamy, blendable, and easy to apply, and is ideal for subtle contouring or adding warmth to the face. It goes beautifully with blush and highlighter for a healthy, sun-kissed look that’s still natural and fresh.
Tatcha The Silk Canvas Filter Finish Primer: A Game-Changer for Concealer
I use Tatcha’s Silk Canvas Filter Finish Primer underneath my concealer, and it has truly transformed the way my under-eye makeup wears throughout the day. If you're anything like me, under-eye concealer tends to crease easily, especially after long hours. This primer creates a smooth, velvety base that allows my concealer to glide on seamlessly and stay put.
What I love most is that it prevents dryness and creasing, even when I layer on a bit more product to fully cover dark circles or tired eyes. I’ve worn this through long workdays and back-to-back classes, and my makeup stays intact from morning to evening. It’s hydrating, lightweight, and truly makes a difference in how polished and fresh my under-eyes look.
L’Oréal Revitalift Serum : The One Serum
I’ve been using the L’Oréal Revitalift Serum consistently, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my skincare routine. It firms, smooths, and preps the skin so that moisturizers and other products apply more effectively. It’s lightweight yet powerful, and I appreciate the way it enhances the overall texture of my skin.
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Pillow Talk 2 Medium: Everyday Shade
Next up is a lip product I find myself reaching for almost daily: the Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Pillow Talk Medium. This shade is the perfect balance and subtle enough for everyday wear, but still rich enough to make a statement.
It’s my go-to when I want something that won’t overpower a bold blush or when I just need a quick swipe of color before heading out. It’s not too dark, not too light, just that ideal neutral rose tone that complements every look. Bonus: I’ve even dabbed it on my cheeks when I’m in a rush, and it blends beautifully.
If you’re looking for a flattering, versatile lipstick to add to your collection, this one is definitely worth it!!
My Morning Skincare + Makeup Routine (On a More Polished Day)
When I take a little extra time in the morning, here’s what my morning skincare/beauty routine typically looks like:
Ice roll to de-puff and refresh the skin
Cleanse with my go-to Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Apply L’Oréal Revitalift Serum
Moisturize with either Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream or Cetaphil Moisturizer (A staple)
Gua sha massage for lymphatic drainage!
Use the Fenty Bronzer Stick for warmth
Apply the Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer
Lightly apply Charlotte Tilbury Concealer in targeted areas
Use my Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick
Blend Charlotte Tilbury Blush with Ilia Lip Tint on cheeks!
Add glow with the L’Oréal Highlight Stick
Curl lashes and apply L’Oréal Telescopic Mascara in brown
Finish with Aquaphor on the lips!
This routine keeps things fresh and minimal while still allowing me to feel confident and put-together.
I always aim for products that are easy to use, effective, and enhance my natural features without requiring too much effort!
Let me know if you’ve tried any of these or if you have your own must-haves this season, and I’m always looking for new favorites to add to my list!
What's the Catch?
Knowing when to stop buying new products and finding new ways to use the ones you have!
But...trying new things is always fun ;) Right?!
