Spring Favourites: What’s in My Beauty Bag Right Now
As the seasons begin to change, I often notice small shifts in the things I enjoy using every day. Spring tends to draw me towards products that feel fresh, uncomplicated, and easy to reach for. I've never been someone who carries everything—just a few favourites that quietly earn their place through regular use.
Some of these are new discoveries, while others have been part of my routine for years. Together, they're the products I've found myself reaching for most often this spring.
From everyday make-up favourites to skincare and haircare staples, this is a look inside my beauty bag this season.
Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick
I recently discovered the Baby Cheeks Blush Stick from Westman Atelier and have quietly fallen in love with it. I’ve been using Petal and Chouchette, both of which give the most gentle, natural flush—like you’ve just come in from the cold.
It blends effortlessly into the skin, almost disappearing as it settles, leaving behind a softness rather than anything too obvious. The finish feels fresh and understated, making it perfect for everyday wear.
I also have my eye on their highlighters to carry that same quiet luminosity through the rest of my make-up.
Fenty Beauty Trace'd Out Longwear Waterproof Pencil Lip Liner
Another recent addition to my beauty bag is the Trace'd Out Lip Liner in Extra Thigh from Fenty Beauty. The tone is just right—soft, neutral, and incredibly flattering. I naturally have quite a small upper lip, and I find this shade helps create a little more definition and fullness without looking overly drawn or obvious.
I've been pairing it with the Gloss Bomb Stix in Blaz'd Donut, and together they create the easiest combination. It pulls everything together without feeling overworked, and I love the softness of the overall finish—it feels polished, yet still effortless.
Redken Acidic Color Gloss
Heat Protection spray
For hair, one product I discovered earlier this year and have really enjoyed using is the Acidic Color Gloss Heat Protection Spray from Redken. It gives a subtle, healthy shine without weighing my hair down. Since incorporating it into my routine, I've noticed my hair looks much glossier and feels noticeably healthier.
Over the years, regular colouring and wearing extensions have inevitably taken their toll on my hair. More recently, I've been trying to pay greater attention to its long-term health, investing in products that support and protect it rather than simply helping it look good for the day.
This has been one of those products. It's simple to use, but the difference has been noticeable. My hair feels softer, looks healthier, and has regained some of the shine that can easily be lost through heat styling and colour treatments. It's become a product I reach for consistently and one I'll happily repurchase.
Dr Sam’s Flawless Moisturiser Intense
A recent discovery for me has been Dr Sam's Skincare, and I've really fallen in love with their Flawless Moisturiser Intense.
My skin can be quite reactive, so I'm always drawn to products that feel gentle and calming. This moisturiser has been exactly that. It helps calm irritation quickly and leaves my skin feeling more balanced and settled, while also supporting a healthier skin barrier over time.
It's become one of those quiet staples in my routine—something I return to because it consistently does what I need it to do.
Milk Makeup KUSH High Roll Defining + Volumizing Brow Tint
For brows, I use the KUSH Brow Gel from Milk Makeup. It gives that fuller, slightly lifted look without feeling stiff or heavy, helping me add a little definition while still looking natural.
A small amount is all that's needed, and I usually soften it through with a separate brush for a more natural finish. The result is fuller-looking brows that still feel effortless and understated.
TATCHA The Water Cream
Lastly, The Water Cream from Tatcha is a product that has remained in my routine for years. Lightweight and refreshing, it leaves the skin feeling hydrated while creating a soft, dewy base for make-up.
I often apply it before getting ready, almost as a primer. It helps everything sit more naturally and gives the skin a fresh, healthy-looking finish. Uncomplicated and reliable, it's one of those products that elevates everything else.
Together, these products have become a simple part of my everyday routine this spring. Each one serves a purpose, feels easy to use, and brings a little enjoyment to the process of getting ready.
Nothing revolutionary—just a few favourites that have quietly found their place.
