Aren’t you guys happy it’s spring + the sun is out? Makes me want to throw on cute dresses + wedges every day. Here are some of my spring favorite’s (products) that I know you girls will love!

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick: this lipstick in the color ‘Kim K W’ is creamy, light, + perfect for spring. I use this lip scrub then follow with this chapstick before I apply it. I promise it’ll look so good on moist lips. If your lips are cracked, it’ll definitely show that, so I highly recommend using some type of scrub + chapstick before putting it on. I use the MAC lipliner in ‘Soar’ or ‘Dervish’ with this lipstick.

Sara Happ Lip Scrub: I have been using this lip scrub for about two years now. I picked it up at a spa here in Philly + love the way it makes my lips feel. Not only does it smell good but it does a really good job taking off all, if not most, of your dead skin on your lips. It comes in different flavors, too! I highly recommend this scrub. I know you all want pretty, moist lips this spring + summer.

Flowerbomb Perfume: this perfume by Viktor+Rolf is probably one of the most popular perfumes out there right now. It smells absolutely amazing, fresh, and feminine. All you really need is one spray that’ll last you all day. I love this scent for these warmer days. The bottle is so pretty, too! If you don’t want to spend money on this perfume, I recommend buying the travel size spray that only costs $30 + you can easily pack in your purse or clutch. If you love your hair to smell good, buy this Flowerbomb hair mist.

Tarte ‘Shape Tape’ Concealer: Okay, let me start by saying that if you don’t have this in your life, you need it. When this concealer came out last year this is what all the hype was about, so I had to try it out. I loved it then + still do now. It has good coverage + isn’t too dewy or creamy. I use this in the color ‘medium.’ The cool thing about this concealer is that you can also use it to contour–just buy a darker shade according to your skin color.

Blenderelle Sponge Case: If you’re like me + love the beauty blender then you’re going to love this chic case to put it in. I don’t like throwing my wet, full of makeup, sponge in my makeup bag because of the idea of it simply getting my bag all dirty + just thinking of it not drying all the way (bacteria). This case acts as both protector + storage which I love! It’s also great for traveling + doing your makeup in the car. No matter what, your wet sponge will be kept separate from all your other products + will dry quickly due to the ventilation holes. There are also these cute sponge holders to keep in your bathroom. They’re sleek, stylish, + come in rose gold, gold, + silver.

Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer: I have used the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for as long as I can remember, it’s my go-to because it’s lightweight + dewy. Well, a couple months ago, I walked into Sephora + came across the illuminating tinted moisturizer. I was intrigued because I already love this product + the idea of it adding some glow to my face made me so happy. I don’t use it every day, however, I do love it on casual, sunny days when I’m out + about.

Fresh Chapstick: EVERYONE needs this chapstick. I would go through so many chapsticks here in Philly because of the weather + none seemed to heal my chapped lips until I tried this one. Both Jordan + I use it including my mom + other family members. It’s pricey for a chapstick, but I promise it heals, moisturizes, + smells so yummy. Get the ‘translucent’ color. I always put some on before I apply my lipstick.

MAC Blush: This blush in the color ‘Peaches’ is beautiful. I’m not a big blush person because I prefer bronzer, but this blush is the perfect touch of pink to lighten up your face this spring. All you need is just a tad bit + it’ll bring out the color on your lips.

MAC Patenpolish Lip Pencil: I bought this while I was in Minnesota for the Super Bowl + was immediately hooked. I was shocked how moist this lip pencil was. Think of it as a chapstick + lipstick in one. No need for lipliner with this as it plays as a chapstick with a bit of color. I have the color ‘Make Me Proud’ + so does my mom.
