Warm weather is (almost) here.

Then, once spring rolls around, we need lighter options that keep sweat and sun damage in mind.

Ahead of warm-weather season, Dior has launched my favorite flavor of the bunch: a glassy cherry tint.

It’s the perfect mix of subtle and a little sexy as it softens and hydrates your lips.

I have always been a thick-brush girl when it comes to mascara.

That all changed when I first tried Byredo’s sculpting mascara with a short, precision-based brush.

Here’s where I wax on about needing a new highlighter every time spring rolls around.

There’s just something about the dewiness and glow a fresh formula can bring each year.

This time, I’m obsessing over Armani Beauty’sNeo Nude A-Highlight.

It’s subtle, but glowing, and provides that spring refresh I’m always hoping to find.

I’m way less militant about sunscreen when it feels greasy or uncomfortable on my skin.

It’s super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and looks great under makeup.

This season all I want makeup-wise is a soft, etherial color palette.

Luckily, Pat McGrath’s Divine Rose shadows check every box.

It’s absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to feel spring-ready with every system.

Things I hate about spring: inflammation sparked by all of the above.

As such, I reach for face tools to keep me in check.

An old favorite is this ice roller.

Think of it as the fancy tool version of Grandmas tried-and-true puffy skin hack.

My skin tends to break out as it adjusts to changing weather.

Something about the sun in the springtime makes me want to turn up the dew about four notches.

If you’re looking for a subtle shine, stop reading right now.

But if like me, you prefer your skin to potentially blind onlookers, this highlighter is for you.

When it comes to glow, subtlety is vastly overrated.

I called this BL+Eye Serumfrom the bench and have been loving it as part of my morning routine.

Somehow this product mattifies the shinier areas of my face without making me look completely flat.

It leaves the subtlest non-shiny, lit-from-within glow that makes me genuinely excited to re-apply my sunscreen.

I’ve been loving this scentit’s springy, joyful, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

That, and it looks so lovely on my vanitylike a little glass suncatcher reflecting rays around the room.

Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40.

Bonus: The texture is perfect as a makeup primer.

This fragrance by Ellis Brooklyn smells like a vacation in a bottle.

Even the neon bottle sparks joy.

Either way, this product always gives my skin an ultra-radiant and dewy finish.

Illuminator Liquid Highlight

Whenever I’m doing my makeup, I love creating dewy and glowy looks.

The balm offers a lightweight, translucent highlight.

Plus, it hydrates as it sits on your skin thanks to the infusion of jojoba oil.

Bottom line: I love how it creates a beautiful multidimensional glow on any area you place it on.

I consider it to be one of my spring and summer essentials.

It is thick, luxurious, and also contains SPF 30.

bl+ eye serum

It’s the perfect gloss to layer with a lipliner because it blends easily without being messy.

Sunday II Sunday’sSoothe Me Scalp Serumhas totally transformed my routine.

The formula is minty, light, and cooling, which feels amazing upon utility.
