Spring Beauty Must-Haves

Warmer temperatures means a change in my beauty must-haves. Really anything that keeps me from melting is entirely welcome. A must have in my book is anything that enables survival but keeps me feeling confident.

• Blush (NARS 'Sex Appeal') - This soft peach blush is a change from the rosy pink I usually use because it is much softer and subdued.

• Sea Salt Spray (Bumble and Bumble) - This is my go-to sea salt spray, but I use it minimally during the warmer months. It can be incredibly drying and lead to a frizzy look when used too much. But when used every once in a while it gives a really great beach fresh texture.

• Sunscreen (Aveeno) - duh.

• Bronzer (Hourglass Ambient Bronzer) - The perfect sun-kissed look with a radiant finish and minimal effort. Just for those days where I need a little dimension without baking in the sun (never advised).

• Nail Color (Essie 'Excuse Me, Sur') - This is my favorite nail color from Essie's spring collection inspired by a California road trip. It's a peachy pink that fits really well with my tan.

• Waterproof Mascara (Better Than Sex) - Because no one likes having mascara run down their face when sweating or crying. Full disclosure it takes quite a bit of remover to get off depending on how many coats are applied.

• Hair Mask (Neutrogena Recovery Mask) - I use this once a week to restore the health of my hair. Within the span of a shower it can minimize the product and heat damage and leave my hair looking healthy (and soft).

• Self Tanner (Nivea Sun Kissed Radiance lotion) - I am very wary of self tanner and I prefer to use Nivea's gradual lotion. It adds a nice even color over time and Nivea makes the best lotions for my skin so double whammy.
