Spring brings a fresh start, and my beauty routine is no exception. The Strip Makeup Whipped Coconut Makeup Remover ($22) promises to kickstart this renewal. When I scooped it out, I noticed its fluffy texture, like a cloud of whipped cream. The formula aims to hydrate the skin while balancing its pH, which sounded perfect for the transitional weather of spring. As I massaged it onto my skin, it felt luxurious and rich, thanks to ingredients like mango seed butter, shea butter, and coconut oil. It effortlessly melted away dirt, makeup, and impurities, leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed. What I appreciated most was that it’s non-comedogenic, so I didn’t have to worry about it clogging my pores.
I can’t get enough of YSL Beauty Libre Eau De Parfum ($35 10ml) and its floral scent—it’s like walking through a garden in full bloom! The mix of lavender and orange blossom feels so natural and light, but there’s this underlying warmth from the vanilla that just makes it so comforting. And the best part? It lasts all day, so I can wear it from brunch with friends to a romantic dinner date without worrying about reapplying. Seriously, every time I spritz this on, I feel like I’m wrapping myself in the essence of springtime—fresh, vibrant, and alive.
The Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum VI ($11.87) is like a little bottle of luxury. Its texture is so silky smooth, and I love how it sinks right into my skin. With its new formula boasting precious ginseng, it promises to support my skin barrier and tackle those pesky premature signs of aging. I’ve made it a ritual to apply this right after cleansing—it’s like giving my skin a fresh start each day. Plus, knowing it helps my skin better absorb the products I apply next? That’s a win-win.
The Beauty Bakerie Cotton Candy Champagne Blush Palette ($24) features four rose-flushed shades, offering both matte and metallic options. They’re highly pigmented, but not too overwhelming. I appreciate that the formula is buildable and blend-able, making it easy to achieve the desired look without fuss. Plus, the option to mix the shades allows for endless customization.
My skin often feels a bit dull from the winter chill, and the Sweet Chef Ginger Vitamin C Sheet Mask is a great way to bring back that radiant glow. The combination of ginger and vitamin C feels so refreshing and invigorating, like a wake-up call for my complexion. The sheet also adheres perfectly to my skin, allowing all the nourishing ingredients to really sink in. Plus, there’s something so relaxing about taking a few minutes to pamper myself with a sheet mask—I like to think of it as a mini spa session at home.
With its golden nectar shade, this Nineteen Ninety Nine Crew Highlight Stick ($34) adds a subtle dewy glow to my complexion, perfect for creating that fresh-faced radiance. I appreciate that it’s not too intense, giving just the right amount of shimmer for a natural look. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, blending seamlessly into my skin. I’ve found myself reaching for it often, especially on days when I want to embrace a simple yet polished makeup look with a touch of freshness.
The NatureLab Tokyo Perfect Clean 2-in-1 Scalp Scrub + Shampoo ($2.35) promises a scalp detox, and it’s packed with ingredients like probiotic-rich sake water, antioxidants, and plant extracts. I appreciate that it’s gentle on my scalp—I was a bit worried about it being too harsh, but it actually feels quite soothing. After using it, my scalp feels refreshed, and my hair looks clean and shiny. It’s definitely a unique product, and while I’m not sure if it’s something I’ll use every day, it’s nice to have on hand for when my scalp needs a little extra TLC.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream ($140) is the free item they’re offering for new members! I’ve tried my fair share of moisturizers that promised the world and delivered nothing. But with this one, I only need a tiny dab—seriously, a pea-sized amount does the trick. The texture is incredible. It’s so light and absorbs like a dream, which is perfect for this weird in-between weather we’re having. Plus, it smells amazing.
The March 2024 Allure Beauty Box introduced me to a variety of skincare and beauty products perfect for refreshing my routine for the spring season. I’ve particularly enjoyed discovering new products like the serum with ginseng, which offers potential benefits for revitalizing and nourishing the skin. However, while the hair care duo offered a unique experience, I found myself wishing for more variety in the selection. Overall, though, I’m pleased with the value and quality of the items included, and I’m looking forward to seeing what surprises the next box will bring.
