1. Clarins 'Instant Light' Lip Balm Perfector ($23 at Nordstrom)
Each spring, I lust over what new lip product Clarins has to offer and this season, does not disapoint. I have long been a fan of the Clarins Instant Light gloss and this new lip balm, makes your lips look glossy with out any stickiness. Get fuller and hydrated lips with this new formula containing hyaluronic acid. Comes in 6 shades but I am wearing the shade Red a lot. It looks like a glossy berry color on the lips. The skinny lipstick tube shape is perfectly compact for your spring mini bag too! (See previous Coquette post on the new Clarins spring collection.)
2. Acure Marula Oil ($16.48 at Amazon)
I have been a huge fan of Acure's Argan Oil for a while now. When the woman working the skincare aisle at Whole Foods told me that the Marula Oil has more vitamins and nutrients than Argan Oil. This oil is perfect to really hydrate the skin which I needed from those dry winter days. I actually wear it at night and forgo the notion of wearing a night cream. My skin feels soft and I've had no breakouts from using this oil.
3. tarte Lights Camera Lashes™ Inner Rim Liner ($19 at Sephora)
I don't use eyeliner on my lower eyelid so the notion that I would line my inner rim with a nude eyeliner is completely new to me. This inner rim liner is perfection and makes your eyes look so much brighter and energetic. I love how it compliments my eye makeup and just subtly brings out all the pretty. (See previous Coquette post on the Tarte Inner Rim Liner.)
4. Women's NARS Soft Velvet Loose Powder ($36 at Nordstrom)
I haven't used a loose powder in years and yet I have been using this NARS Soft Velvet Loose Powder everyday. I actually love wearing it just with moisturizer under because it gives me a smooth finish even for days I want to look makeup free. It's weightless and takes away any shine on my face. I usually just dab it on my forehead, nose and my cheeks. (See previous Coquette post on NARS.)
5. Simple Micellar Cleanser ($6.89 at Amazon)
I finally found a micellar cleanser that is better than the French Bioderma brand. Why? This one doesn't have any fragrance at all which is a huge plus in my book. I also found that it really took off my makeup well and didn't strip my skin. My skin actually felt soft after I used it. The price point also makes this a huge plus. In fact, I am loving most of the Simple products these days. (See previous Coquette post on Simple Skincare.)
