Friday Favorites: Best Products for Spring

Happy Friday! It’s been a crazy week in Atlanta. We had a major highway bridge collapse and a tornado warning. As the city with the 8th worst traffic in the world, it was not an ideal situation! However, up until the horrible storms, we had gorgeous weather and I’m hoping this means spring is here, tornados and all.

So in preparation for the season, I’m sharing my favorite products for spring.

products or spring

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me open this delivery a few days ago. I purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Nicole Guerriero Glow KitΒ on Amazon because this sold out on Sephora almost immediately and it was also sold out at my local store. This is the prettiest highlighter kit ever! It’s so sparkly, but not too much on your face. I just love it.

I already have a highlighter brush I like, but I purchased this Pro Angled Contour Brush to really fine-tune my contouring skills and make my highlighter stand out.

So I do not sell Rodan and Fields, but I heard about this product on Facebook. Lash Boost claimed to give you fuller, darker lashes. I’m a little obsessed with lashes, so I called my best friend who used to beΒ a distributor to find out if it really works. It was new at the time so she wanted to try it herself before selling it to me. It worked for herΒ and it’s definitely working for me.Β I have to say this is one of my favorite products right now. In one week I really could tell a difference. I love it!

I am LIVING in these shoes from Red Dress Boutique. They are so cute and comfortable. I wear them with jeans, leggings, shorts, dresses, and even in myΒ pajamas when I take Molly out late at night. These are easily becoming my favorite shoes.

This is an old product I’m bringing back. When I lived in the sorority house in college, I used to take a shot of Zzzquil before I went to bed so I could fall asleep no matter what was going on in the other rooms. I have a hard time with daylight savings in the spring, plus it’s always just been more of a stressful time over summer or fall. Instead of keeping myself awake at night with my anxiety, I just take a sip and easily fall asleep. It’s great because I’m not drowsy in the morning and definitely not habit forming.

TGIT, am I right? What are your favorite products right now?

    I’m loving that glo kit the best. I need a make up palette like that in my life, and my friend does R&F and says the Lash Boost has worked wonders on her.

      Lash Boost really is legit! I can’t believe what a difference it makes. And yes, the Glow Kit is one of my favorite purchases maybe ever!

    I love my Anastasia x Nicole glowkit! I bought mine on the day it released and I have used it every single day.

    Oh I need to buy that kit! I have the original glow kit and I love it.

      It’s beautiful! One of my favorite purchases.

    Oh Girl! Hasn’t Atlanta been crazy this week? We live outside of Atl but my hubby travels to and from for work. He could be home anywhere from 5:30-7 depending on the traffic and weather. I’m so glad it looks like sunshine and warmer weather for us now.

    The Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow kit looks so pretty. I love a little sparkle but not full on glittery sparkle. This sounds like the perfect amount. I’ve heard wonderful things about the R+F Lash Booster, too. I can’t wait to hear more about it.

    I hope you have a wonderful day today. Go outside and soak up some sunshine. πŸ™‚

      INSANE! I feel like we are living in a post-apocalyptic world with all the highways collapsing or shutting down.

      I love it. One of my favorite purchases ever and I really can tell a difference with the lash boost.

    That highlighter kit is so gorgeous. Love those shades to create simple and subtle makeup looks for spring! I can’t wait to see how you wear it.
