Burberry Lip Velvet Crush is the best thing to happen to me. As someone who is constantly snacking and has little to no patience for reapplying lipstick, this matte stain barely budges and leaves little to no residue on my cups. The lipstick applies as smooth as butter and takes a few moments to dry, but it's worth the wait.

This winter I started to breakout like crazy and it turns out it’s because I was stripping moisture in the cleanser I was using. That all changed when I started using Valmont’s Wonder Falls cleansing creme and now my face is back to normal—breakouts stopped and my face feels fresh and clean. I also love the way Valmont’s products smell.

During the winter I love using Herbivore’s Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment even during the day (because yes, my face is that dry), but now that the temperature is rising, I can’t wait to switch back to my go-to spring and summer moisturizer, H2o+ Beauty Oasis Hydrating Treatment. It keeps my dry and sensitive face moisturized all during the day and goes well when I pair it my go to sunscreen, Supergoop’s City Sunscreen Serum. (Pro tip: store it in the fridge so it can also soothe your puffy face in the morning.)

As the weather starts to warm up, I try to wear as little makeup as possible and focus on my glow, that way I can spend more time basking in the sun and less time getting ready. I like to keep it simple (aside from my 2019 goal: become a eyeshadow person): concealer, mascara, blush, some brow filler and a nice lip color. Recently, I started using Milk Makeup’s Kush mascara, and I am obsessed. It doesn’t cake up, and leaves my lashes looking full and long, plus it’s made with Hemp-derived cannabis oil that keeps my lashes hydrated. Speaking of, another thing I try to do when the temperatures rise is stay hydrated. Care/Of recently added powders to their line-up of vitamins, one of them is electrolytes, which helps your body hydrate especially after you’re sweating (i.e. from hot weather or after a night of dancing). Then, for my face I’ve been dedicated to Innisfree’s Intensive Hydrating Serum for the last two years, and there are no signs of stopping.

I love experimenting with different lip colors and I usually have at least 5 lipsticks or balms in my purse at any given time, but I ALWAYS make sure to have Wander Beauty’s Beach Balm on hand. The color is so flattering, and it keeps my lips moisturized for hours.

I’m excited to try the Nuxe’s Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil since I want a product that successfully combats some of the residual dryness in my skin and hair from the winter season. I like that it comes in a spray bottle, which makes it easy to apply and spread. Here’s to manifesting some of the glowy spring dreams I've been having recently.

I'm obsessed with this cleanser because it actually feels like it's doing something, like it's not just on your face to be immediately rinsed off. It goes on like an oil and washes off like milk, I feel like I’m buffing my face of impurities. But afterward there's no oily residue, just clean skin. It's especially good for wiping off makeup, almost like a balm.
Asia Milia Ware, Editorial Assistant
Call me crazy, but the one product I will be using this season is Chanel's Boy de Chanel foundation. It's considered a men's foundation, but I'm obsessed with how light weight it is and the clean finish it leaves on my skin. Spring is the season where I ditch the heavy coverage products and focus more smooth and light coverage products. Boy de Chanel gets the job done for me, and it smells amazing!
