2020 Spring Favorites
My Spring Favorites are here! Because of quarantine, my routine was pretty minimal and filled with products that are multitaskers. Here is a quick breakdown of this season’s hero products.
Skincare:
Laneige Cream Skin Toner + Moisturizer
Herbal Dynamics Green Tea Eye Cream
Makeup:
The Flower Beauty Blush Bomb is what I wish the Glossier Cloud Paints were like. They are so pigmented and a little goes a LONG way. My favorite part is how skin like and natural this one is despite it’s intimidating color! I like to blend this blush out with my fingers and it fades into a fresh and dewy wash of color. The effect is like a watercolor stain, which I think is the dreamiest type of blush.
I was introduced to Herbal Dynamics earlier this year and the Vitamin K Eye cream* quickly became one of my daily products. I wasn’t too familiar with eye creams and was looking for something gentle yet effective. The green tea helps to wake my under eyes up in the mornings and cool down any puffiness. I think this one is especially good for eye cream beginners and those looking for a basic one!
The Laneige Cream Skin Toner* has been in my skincare arsenal for quite some time, and I’m confident this favorite will also appear in my yearly favs. It’s unique because it’s both a toner and moisturizer in one. I think this product is the first of its kind..and it really amazes me! I love the milky consistency, and on humid days, I can get away with just using this without a proper moisturizer over top. It’s gentle, hydrates, and doesn’t have alcohol! 10/10 for this one.
The Cocokind Glow Essence* has to be my favorite discovery this season. Cocokind is a wonderful and natural brand to begin with, and this essence is *chef’s kiss*. The pump disperses the perfect amount of product in my palm, and the application is no fuss, as all the product quickly sinks into the skin. This essence has been in my routine since I first received it for many reasons… it’s light and fresh and something great for all skin types. My absolute favorite part about this essence is how it smells like a fresh blood orange I picked from my garden. I have yet to come across a product as wonderfully scented as this one!

The Glossier Stretch Concealer is something you’ll always find me raving about. It’s hands down the best concealer I’ve tried. It’s dewy, great for dry skin under the eyes, and buildable to a medium coverage. In short, if you don’t have it, you need it!
The Maybelline Brow Precise Gel is a lifesaver for the everyday working gal. It fills in your brows in ten seconds and the hold lasts all day. The little fibers in the gel help to add texture and volume in the brows, and you’re left with a fluffy looking soap brow. I used to not like brow gels in fear of all my brow hairs falling off, but fear not! I use a little bit of cleansing oil in the shower now and the product comes off in a jif.
The Korres Rose Oil* is one of my OG oils and still a favorite amongst all the oils that we have to choose from today! The smell of roses is really strong, and at first I thought it would be a dealbreaker. As I kept using it, I got accustomed to the scent and now I really like it! The consistency is ultra light, almost like a dry oil. I use oils as an extra step of hydration for my dry skin, but I think this one would even work well for combo skin types.
I hope this helps you discover some products you might want to add to your stash!
