SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Mask
SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Mask (Twin Value Pack) ($30)
"Naturally, SK-II's Facial Treatment Mask is not new. In fact, it's an OG, iconic, cult-favorite in the skincare space, and, when I rediscovered my love for it, my friends in the industry gave me a deserved eye roll. "Duh," they responded. But, none the less, I have to sing this mask's praises now and forever. Formulated with an entire bottle of the brand's pitera serum, these travel-friendly treats work immediately to revive stressed-out skin. I've been having some issues with my skin lately—I disrupted my skin barrier and have had a lot of redness and irritation as a result—and using this mask has helped bring it back to life. It floods your skin with hydration for 20 minutes of pure bliss, followed by even more bliss when you remove the mask and find glowing, dewy, happy skin. SK-II just launched a Twin Pack (two masks for $30) to allow for a more accessible starting point to their offerings. Plus, it's perfect to pack for the flight to and from any destination."
Lesse Sculpting Tool
Lesse Sculpting Tool ($45)
"I've been traveling a lot lately and, after a long plane ride, my face gets puffy and my skin looks sallow. Lesse's Sculpting Tool has done wonders for those ailments as it helps to promote circulation (hello glow!), drain puffiness, and relieve muscle tension in just a few minutes. I give myself a quick five-minute facial massage with the tool post-cleanse and serum application (you need some slip), then finish up with my moisturizer. The immediate results are pretty astounding (and the soothing mental benefits aren't bad, either)."

Pattern Curl Mousse
Pattern by Tracee Ellis Ross Curl Mousse ($23)
"I shared my love for curl mousse in a previous editors' picks, and I'm here to share another one that I believe is 100% worth the hype. The product defines my curls without weighing them down, and provides hold that lasts all week long—with zero touchups. My hair looks better each day. So far, I swear by this product for achieving the perfect one-product braid-out, but I'm interested to see if it works just as well for a wash-and-go."
Ilia Skin Rewind Complexion Stick
Ilia Skin Rewind Blurring Foundation and Concealer Complexion Stick ($48)
"When it comes to complexion products, I love a natural finish. At first, I was nervous to try Ilia's latest launch because foundation sticks can be drying, but I was pleasantly surprised by the results. Not only does it blend into my skin seamlessly, but it barely looks like I'm wearing anything at all. Just how I like it! It blurs any areas of concern and gives me a radiant glow—what more can I ask for?"
Grey Bandit Oakley Zip Up Sweater
Grey Bandit Oakley Zip Up Sweater ($72)
"I recently started retaking ballet classes, and this sweater is perfect warming up in the studio. It's super soft and my ideal cropped length.You can style this sweater two ways: zipped up high like a turtleneck or as an open, exaggerated collar. I can see myself wearing this on casual days throughout the spring."
Oscar x Frank Suga Baby Sunglasses
Oscar x Frank Suga Baby in Royal Blue ($170)
"I've been updating my sunglasses collection and sourcing frames that are sturdy enough to last for years to come. This is my second pair of shades from Oscar x Frank, and it's safe to say that this brand produces great quality. From bold frames to fun colors (just look at this Byrdie Blue shade), you'll definitely find a few sunnies to add to your rotation."

Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer
Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer ($13)
"Jergens Natural Glow has been a staple in my routine for over a decade. I have very pale skin, so it's easy for self-tanners to pull slightly orange-looking on me. That's never an issue with this body lotion—instead, I achieve gradual, natural-looking color after two to three applications. It's easy to blend, doesn't leave harsh lines of demarcation, and makes my skin immeasurably softer and glowier."
Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty Asta C Serum
Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty Asta C Vitamin C Age Defense Serum ($88)
"Vitamin C is a tricky product category for my skin. The formulas that don't break me out will leave my skin irritated (or vice versa), and the ones my skin can tolerate have a bizarre smell or texture that pills under my makeup. Fortunately, I recently tried Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty's Asta C Serum and can confirm it is the Goldilocks of vitamin C products. It doesn't sting or irritate my skin, doesn't break me out, has zero hotdog water smell, and goes on smoothly and delightfully. I will absolutely be using every last drop of this one."
Benefit Cosmetics Benetint
Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Liquid Lip Blush & Cheek Tint ($24)
"I add Benetint back into my makeup rotation every spring—and every spring I forget how much I love it. It's a stunning rosy tint for lips and cheeks that you literally can't mess up—just smear it on and you'll immediately look dewy and refreshed. I love to dot it along my lips, nose, and cheeks for that subtle "sunburned" effect (without the sun damage)."
Eden Stuart, editor
Byrdie
Living Proof Curl Elongator
Living Proof Curl Elongator Conditioning Cream ($43)
"I'm going to keep it 100: When I decided to test out Living Proof's curl collection, my expectations were low. So imagine my surprise when I ended up with a shiny, defined, healthy-feeling braid-out. Everything I tried—including the Curl Shampoo and Curl Conditioner—was great, but I was most impressed by the Curl Elongator. It left my hair smooth, bouncy, and nearly frizz-free (and with my hair, "nearly" is basically "completely"). I definitely recommend this one to my fellow Type 4s."
Lion Pose Ghost-Buster Mineral Sunscreen
Lion Pose Ghost-Buster Broad Spectrum SPF 42 UVA/UVB Sunscreen ($46)
"There are many things to love about this sunscreen: It's a mineral formula without the dreaded white cast, it layers beautifully under makeup, and it's lightweight. But honestly, the thing I love most is the smell, which reminds me of fresh cucumbers. (The scent isn't overpowering and dies down fast, though, so unless you're super sensitive to fragrance, fear not.) I wear sunscreen all year round as we all should, but between the scent and the subtle glow-boosting, this one feels tailor-made for a spring skincare routine."
Vionic Rejuvenate Slide Sandal
Vionic Rejuvenate Slide Sandal ($80)
"As the weather warms up and I no longer need a slipper with fuzzy comfort, I've been enjoying a slides-and-socks combo, and this pair from Vionic might be the single most comfortable I've ever slid my foot into. The support is next-level, and the design is super cute—with scrunched socks, leggings, and an oversized shirt, it's kind of a vibe. My mom has been extolling the virtues of Vionics for years now, and as I have had to say on more than one occasion in the past: Mommy, you were right."
Ali Webb, associate editor
Byrdie
Kacey Musgraves + Boy Smells Deeper Well Candle
Kacey Musgraves + Boy Smells Deeper Well Candle ($56)
"I absolutely loved the Kacey Musgraves + Boy Smells Slow Burn candle, so I was thrilled to learn that another collaboration was launching to celebrate the Deeper Well album. The new scent is exactly what I needed for cowgirl spring: The notes include raspberry, sage, beetroot, amber, and oakmoss for an earthy gourmand that smells great whether it's actively burning or not. I'll certainly be enjoying this candle all season, whether I'm leaning into the joy of warmer weather or in need of some grounding energy."
Dieux Air Angel
Dieux Air Angel Hydrating Gel Cream ($44)
"I've relied on Dieux's cult-favorite Instant Angel moisturizer the past few winters, but my skin tends to need something more lightweight as the seasons change. I've been giving the brand's Air Angel formula a try as we transition into spring. The texture is smoother and creamier than many gel creams I've tried (which is a win in my book), plus it sinks in like a dream to promote a healthy barrier. Dieux also just launched in Sephora, making it even easier to discover the brand or restock your favorites."
Otra Eyewear Dynasty Sunglasses
Otra Eyewear Dynasty Sunglasses ($60)
"Oversized, early Aughts-inspired sunglasses are trending again for spring, and this pair from Otra has helped me embrace the aesthetic in a way that matches my mostly-black wardrobe. Most of the sunglasses in my existing rotation are more of a cat-eye or rectangular shape, so these exaggerated square frames feel fresh."
Guerlain Neroli Plein Sud
Guerlain Neroli Plein Sud Eau de Parfum ($395)
"The arrival of spring has made me want to refresh my fragrance collection, but my tastes mostly lean woody and spicy (scents normally associated with fall and winter). This new Guerlain launch takes Neroli—a potent variety of Moroccan orange blossom—and spices it up with turmeric, cinnamon, vetiver, and sandalwood. The result feels fresh and springy, yet still features the sensual, warm intensity I love."
Citizens of Humanity Ayla Jeans
Citizens of Humanity Ayla Baggy Cuffed Crop ($258)
"I was previously hesitant to embrace wide-leg silhouettes because they felt difficult to style in a way that felt true to me. Recently, though, I've been wearing the ultra-wide-leg Ayla jeans from Citizens of Humanity—and playing with the silhouette has been a lot of fun. So far, I've paired them with a more fitted top, embraced the drama with an oversized blazer or jacket, or even both—and always with some type of heel, because I'm nothing if not a tall girl who's unapologetic about it."
Star Donaldson, associate social media director
Byrdie
Crown Affair The Signature Scent
Crown Affair The Signature Scent Hair Fragrance ($85)
"This is the first hair perfume I’ve ever tried—and I’m obsessed. At first, the thought of layering another scent on top of my daily perfume sounded like overkill, but Crown Affair's The Signature Scent blends perfectly. The scent is light enough that it doesn’t overpower, but still lasts throughout the day. It's my favorite blend of woody and fresh, which gives me an uplifting feeling that reminds me of spring. It has notes of bergamot, calla lily, green tea, and sandalwood."
111Skin Eye Lift Gel NAC Y2
111Skin Eye Lift Gel NAC Y2 ($190)
"As spring approaches, I’m leaning harder into my skincare in preparation for makeup that's more sheer. Over the past month, I’ve been using 111Skin’s Eye Lift Gel NAC Y2 morning and night, and I’m officially a believer. Within the first two weeks, I noticed the area where my dark circles appear was much smaller and they had significantly lightened. Although I wasn’t interested in this product for eye tightening, it was a major bonus that my under-eyes became firmer, and as a result, my concealer doesn’t crease nearly as much."
Dae Fairy Duster Dry Shampoo
Dae Fairy Duster Volumizing Dry Shampoo Powder ($30)
"When I want to extend my silk press, I always lean on dry shampoo. I've tried so many aerosols that smell great but keep my roots and scalp damp. Dae’s Fairy Duster Dry Shampoo has changed all of that for me. It’s a talc-free powder that comes in a pump, so you’re able to evenly distribute it throughout your hair without any water. The small bottle contains over 600 pumps, and the sweet citrus scent truly smells like spring. Best of all, it doesn’t leave a white cast on my dark brown hair."

Olive & June Same Day Next Year Polish
Olive & June Same Day Next Year Long Lasting Polish ($9)
"I took a break from my usual red mani for this shimmery blue polish, and based on the amount of compliments it got (from beauty editors, no less), I may have to make it my new signature. It reminds me so much of Hard Candy polish from the '90s, and it feels so feminine yet fun and cool. This polish will definitely have me dreaming of blue skies until spring really gets going."
U Beauty The Super Intensive Face Oil
U Beauty The Super Intensive Face Oil ($188)
"My skin is currently in a place of 'blah' thanks to the final dregs of winter. This oil, however, has helped it come close to its former glory. It feels so nourishing and hydrating (which it is, thanks to hyaluronic acid) yet isn't greasy or thick. I love that it helps target signs of aging, and most importantly, the glow is unreal—without clogging my acne-prone skin."
Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer ($13)
"Drugstore beauty has really stepped up its game, and for the most part, it's just as good if not better than high-end stuff. However, the one product I've never been able to find is a good affordable cream bronzer—until now, that is. This formula is so silky and creamy, blends right in, and looks so natural with no caking or harsh lines. The undertones are also great—this product doesn't look too orange, but it still gives me a pretty kiss of warmth. I actually like it better than similar formulas that are triple the price."
Pink by Frankies Bikinis Hudson Bikini Top
Pink by Frankies Bikinis Hudson Bikini Top ($35)
"I've been dealing with some body image drama and desperately needed a new bathing suit, which is never a fun combination. However, as a sucker for both ruffles and rosettes—and a longtime Frankies Bikinis fan—I impulsively ordered this suit from the brand's new collaboration with Pink. The fabric is so soft yet sturdy, and it made me feel so cute and confident. My boobs felt really supported (I'm a DD and bought a medium) and the bottoms were just enough coverage, but still felt a little cheeky. I love the feminine details like the cap sleeves, but most importantly it was comfy to wear all day long. I've since ordered three more."

S'able Labs Black Seed Toner
S'able Labs Black Seed Toner ($37)
"After hearing S'able Labs co-founder Sabrina Elba rave about the brand's Black Seed Toner, I was eager to try it for myself. This toner mist is formulated to do quite a bit, containing powerhouse ingredients like black seed, vitamin C, ferulic acid, and chamomile. The dynamic formula targets hyperpigmentation, soothes stressed skin, refines texture, and boosts radiance. After applying it, my skin always feels so refreshed and looks incredibly glowy—and that's exactly how I want my skin to look as we head into spring."
Oui the People Full Disclosure Body Polish
Oui the People Full Disclosure Cream Body Polish ($48)
"When I do an 'everything' shower, I like to indulge in an elaborate body care routine, and Oui the People's Exfoliating Body Polish has become part of this ritual. The creamy scrub features a powerhouse trio of bamboo powder, lactic acid, and squalane, which work together to slough away dead skin and leave you feeling smooth from head to toe."
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Body Wash
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel ($26)
"Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian 4 Play makes my in-shower routine feel much more luxe. The creamy body wash lathers nicely and boosts moisture with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açaí oil. Whenever I use it, my skin feels thoroughly cleansed and incredibly soft. As if that weren't enough, the product smells so good: Its pistachio-caramel scent is perfect for springtime."
Billie All-Day Deodorant
Billie All-Day Deodorant ($9)
"I love to try different aluminum-free deodorants to see which ones actually work. The latest? Billie's new All-Day Deodorant, which includes odor-fighting powders designed to keep you funk-free for 24 hours (a major plus during the warmer months). The deodorant stick comes in four scents, but my favorite is Cedar Crush, a bright, spicy citrus. Since I started using this formula, I've noticed that I haven't needed to reapply throughout the day, which is the most important factor in my book."
Kosas Brow Pop
Kosas Brow Pop Dual-Action Defining Eyebrow Pencil ($24)
"Kosas's Brow Pop is my go-to brow pencil this season. The dual-sided micro triangle tip makes it easy to evenly fill in and shape my brows. Beyond that, this pigmented brow pencil includes castor oil and panthenol provitamin B5 to help nourish the brows. Bottom line: Brow Pop is truly a standout product."
Florence by Mills Cozy Crush Jogger
Florence by Mills Cozy Crush Jogger ($50)
"I've been living in these tapered joggers over the last month—and will continue to do so throughout the spring. They're made with such a soft cotton and feature so many smart details, like a hidden drawstring and ribbed cuffs. They're definitely the ideal loungewear bottoms for running errands or just relaxing at home."

Shani Darden Moisture Boost Plumping Serum
Shani Darden Moisture Boost Plumping Serum ($78)
"The bumpy transition from winter to spring always wreaks havoc on my dry skin. Luckily, I've mastered a routine full of renewing products that help me ease into the new season. The newest addition to my roster? Shani Darden's Moisture Boost Plumping Serum. I was hooked on this serum after just one use, thanks to the non-sticky, lightweight feel and nearly instantaneous results. Snow mushrooms and glycerin work together to provide instant hydration that lasts all day long, while pentavitin and red algae support and nourish the skin barrier to prevent water loss. Antioxidant-rich watermelon and apple extract round out the formula, visibly plumping skin and protecting against environmental stressors. I couldn't be more in love."
Makeup Eraser Cooling Clouds
Makeup Eraser Cooling Clouds Undereye Patches ($20)
"Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by spring allergies. I love the great outdoors, but from March to May, nature and I are battling it out, with the main casualty being my eyes: They puff up worse than a bag of popcorn left in the microwave for too long. I've always shrugged it off and thought my eye situation couldn't be helped, but this year, I'm determined to find a solution. Makeup Eraser's new Cooling Clouds Undereye Patches have been working wonders for me. I pop these on first thing in the morning, saturating them in cold water to activate the cooling technology before wearing them. In just 20 minutes, I feel more awake and see a reduction in inflammation. Bonus: These under-eye patches are machine washable, making them super easy to clean alongside my reusable makeup remover pads."
Charlotte Tilbury Invisible UV Flawless Primer
Charlotte Tilbury Invisible UV Flawless Primer SPF 50 ($55)
"As a beauty editor, I am genuinely embarrassed to admit I can be forgetful about sunscreen. That's why when I see two-in-one products like Charlotte Tilbury's Invisible UV Flawless Primer SPF 50, I immediately add to cart. The formulation boosts hydration with hyaluronic acid and adds glow with vitamins C and E while protecting against UVA and UVB rays. As the description promises, the primer truly feels weightless and doesn't have that cloying chemical smell that some sunscreens have. It sits smoothly under my foundation all day with no pilling, which is why, ultimately, this primer gets my stamp of approval."

Marc Fisher Cinasa Sandal
Marc Fisher Cinasa Sandal ($85)
"Yes, red shoes are still the moment. I'm so excited to trade my heavy winter boots for airy slip-on sandals, and this style checks every trend box. Not to mention, the price can't be beat."
Clorox Large Room Air Purifier
Clorox Large Room True HEPA Air Purifier ($150)
"Spring is many things: refreshing, stunning, invigorating... I could go on. But while the season is amazing in all of these wonderful ways, it brings one dreaded reality: allergies. I started experiencing seasonal allergies in my mid-20s, and living in NYC makes it even more challenging (dust is truly everywhere). For me, having a reliable air purifier is an absolute necessity, and I love this one from Clorox."

Diptyque Do Son
Diptyque Do Son Eau de Toilette ($130)
"I'm a loyalist when it comes to fragrance profiles, and I always end up purchasing super green, fresh scents. But lately, I’ve been wanting to smell a little more feminine than a freshly cut lawn, so I sampled every scent at my local Diptyque before landing on Do Son. The fragrance has notes of tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine. It’s equally creamy and refreshing, and even though it’s an eau de toilette, I can still smell it on my clothes after hours of wear. I also love that it’s slightly musky so the floral notes don’t lean too sweet. This has been my go-to perfume as we head into spring, and I definitely feel like it’s suitable for both warm and cold weather."
Ami Colé Skin Stick
Ami Colé Skin Stick Lightweight & Blurring Foundation ($29)
"I’ve never been a foundation girl—just concealer and powder—as I find most formulas too heavy on my skin. That changed as soon as I tried this foundation stick from Ami Colé. Its creamy consistency is easy to blend, and it feels weightless on my complexion. It has a natural, slightly glowy finish, and it’s effective at providing allover coverage and spot-concealing. My favorite part is the slight blurring effect, which makes my skin look airbrushed and smooth."
Omorovicza Perfecting Lip Balm
Omorovicza Perfecting Lip Balm ($46)
"I own too many lip balms to count, but I’m picky about the ones that become my go-tos. It has to be easy to apply (and reapply), non-sticky and deeply hydrating, and never leave behind residue. This luxurious formula checks all the boxes and more: It has a silky, glossy consistency that instantly nourishes, and I’m obsessed with the subtle cooling sensation it provides. It’s truly a dream for inflamed, irritated lips. It’s filled hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and shea butter, and I don’t have to reapply for hours."
Alyssa Kaplan, commerce writer

Merit Signature Lip
Merit Signature Lip Lightweight Matte Lipstick ($26)
"Merit nailed it with this recent launch—I haven't found a matte lipstick I love as much as this one in a very long time. It has a thin, truly weightless formula that feels comfortable all day long, and I love that I can blot it out for a subtle look or layer it up for full opacity. As always, the brand curated a range of neutrals and pops of color that are unique compared to other options on the market, yet wearable on so many skin tones. My personal favorite for spring is Court, a warm brick red that instantly brightens my complexion."
Haus Labs Color Fuse Blush
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder ($32)
"Haus Labs makes one of my all-time favorite blush formulas, so when I saw that the brand was rereleasing them and coming out with a few new shades, I was ecstatic. While I'm slightly disappointed that the blushes are now smaller than they used to be, the formula didn't change, meaning they're incredibly pigmented and a little goes a long way. The silky powder applies smoothly and gives cheeks an ethereal flush. I absolutely adore Fire Moon, a new rich beige shade in the line-up—plus, the vivid colors are absolutely perfect for spring."
Make Up For Ever HD Skin Foundation
Make Up For Ever HD Skin Hydra Glow Foundation ($47)
"On days when I want my skin to look like my skin but just better, I've been reaching for this new foundation from Make Up For Ever. It has medium coverage that can layer to blur discoloration, and I love that its glowy finish isn't too shiny or greasy for my oily skin. It also plays nicely with both cream and powder formulas that I apply on top, making it a super reliable pick."
Baobab Collection Oceania Jukurrpa Candle
Baobab Collection Oceania Jukurrpa Candle ($150)
"My mom discovered this luxury candle brand a few years ago, and we've both fallen in love with it ever since. Baobab offers a variety of unique, sophisticated scents housed in the most stunning, hand-blown glass vessels—they essentially double as decor. This one is ideal for spring thanks to the gorgeous pink jar and the fresh, citrus scent. These candles are also great for gifting: Choose one that you know will go with a loved one's home decor and they're bound to display it proudly."
Milani Fruit Fetish Lip Oil
Milani Fruit Fetish Lip Oil ($12)
"When I'm in the mood to swipe on a hydrating lip product that offers shine without a sticky texture, I've been reaching for this one from Milani. It has gel-like consistency that feels smooth and comforting on my lips, and I love that it's available in nine shades, each with a unique, fruity scent."
Caitlyn Martyn, commerce writer
Byrdie
Refy Lash Sculpt Mascara
Refy Lash Sculpt Lengthen and Lift Mascara ($26)
"This mascara from Refy is one of my favorite new launches because it gives my lashes a fresh, voluminous look without layers upon layers of product. With a curved wand that curls on contact and a formula that sets the look in place, this mascara is ideal for those with short, stubby lashes like me."
Divi Scalp Serum
Divi Scalp Serum ($48)
"This formula isn’t necessarily new, but it’s new to me. With the changing seasons, I wanted to develop a new haircare routine that would awaken my scalp and lay the foundation for healthy hair growth. This serum does just that by reducing product and oil buildup, setting me up for good hair days in the future."
Versed Press Restart Body Butter
Versed Press Restart Advanced Retinol Body Butter ($20)
"Integrating retinol into my body care routine has been life-changing. Not only is my skin receiving the moisturizing benefits (which are plentiful here), but also skin-firming benefits, too. This formula is gentle so it’s not giving my sensitive skin a hard time, and it’s a joy to slather on post-shower. Give it a try ahead of bathing suit season—you won’t regret it."
Lauren Pardee, senior commerce editor
Byrdie
Deinde Purifying Whipped Cleanser
Deinde Purifying Whipped Cleanser ($32)
"My skincare roster is stacked with milky, creamy products as I transition from dry winter skin to a slightly less parched spring complexion (finally!), and it was love at first wash with this whipped cleanser. The luxurious pearlescent foam washes away every remnant of the day while maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier. With a supple, nourished, and glowing complexion every time, I know I’m always in good hands with this pH-friendly, hydrating formula."
Nira Pro Laser
Nira Pro Laser ($599)
"If you need a treat-yourself moment, hear me out. I’ve been weeding through the skincare tech market, and while I've been disappointed on several occasions, the Niro Pro Laser has been truly impressive. This FDA-cleared, painless, at-home laser has done wonders for lightening my dark spots, as it rebuilds collagen and renews skin. The tool emits heat and light (which I love because I know it’s working) and guides you through the process with timed beeps. It’s also clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines on your face, hands, neck, and chest. I feel like I’m getting unlimited professional laser treatments in the comfort of my bathroom, and you can, too—I’d just check with your dermatologist first to see if the product is right for you."
Kjaer Weis Perfect Lip Set
Kjaer Weis Perfect Lip Set ($58)
"My mom has always been my beauty inspiration—I used to rummage through her makeup bag as a '90s kid, in awe of the selection. Testing out this quintessential red lip set brought me right back to the products I’d find in her arsenal. Its formula isn’t overly complicated—it’s a traditional pencil liner and velvety lipstick duo with a nourishing blend of oils to impart a reliable, confident color. Neither products bleed, and both are extremely comfortable—even during long, wine-filled dinners. And while this set is a limited edition, I know I’ll be replenishing both the liner and the lipstick separately time and time again."
Color Wow Style on Steroids Texturizing Spray
Color Wow Style on Steroids Performance-Enhancing Texture + Finishing Spray ($28)
"I have a lot of long, silky, straight hair, and the reality is it’s often lifeless and weighed down—I’m talking zero volume or hold. This product is my tried-and-true remedy, as one spritz brings drastic body (I like to style my hair first and then mist upward) sans any stickiness or stiffness. It feels like I don't have any product in my hair while also giving fresh blowout energy each and every time. Even better: It’s a heat protectant, too. You’re welcome."
OTM Cannes Cosmetic Bag
OTM Cannes ($249)
"I take a lot of pride in my makeup collection. I consider each product an investment in myself, so of course, I ensure they’re well-stored. This makeup bag is essentially my version of a trophy case, and with warmer days ahead, the special heat-protective lining keeps all beauty products at a safe temperature so they remain in pristine condition. Inside, everything has a dedicated spot thanks to the organizer tray, and all of this functionality is giving timeless glamour. The gold hardware, the gilded chain handle, the sleek black vegan leather—chef’s kiss. My vanity has never looked better."
