My Spring Wish List Is Already Out of Control—30 Items I Just Can't Skip
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
Some people are really into spring-cleaning, but I can definitely say I'm not one of them. Instead of trimming down my arsenal of moisturizers, serums, and gadgets when the time rolls around, I seem to find myself with an even longer wish list of items to add to my rotation. Oops.
I know having a 30-item wish list might seem a tad unrealistic, but I consider these items safe bets to use well into summer and beyond. The weather is also warming up, and for me, that means pastel-hued makeup, lots of SPF, and some serious hydration. I also couldn't resist sprinkling in the spring fashion staples I'll be adding to my wardrobe. Keep scrolling—I've recently gotten my hands on a few of these items, and others are right up next to buy.
I just started using this hydrating serum-essence from CosRx a week ago, but I love how soft it leaves my skin. Sure, snail secretion sounds like the weirdest thing ever to include in a beauty product, but plenty of folks swear by it, and I'm excited to see what long-term results it offers. Reviewers say it helps with everything from acne to dehydration and fine lines.
TikTok made me do it. I've been seeing this sunscreen from Korean skincare brand Beauty of Joseon everywhere, and folks say it doesn't disappoint. It goes on featherlight, hydrates the skin, and doesn't even feel like sunscreen.
I've been looking for a good SPF mist for ages to solve the "sunscreen touch-up after makeup" problem. Naked Sundays offers a great option. I also love the brand's Collagen Glow Priming Lotion.
Serum-foundation hybrids are having a moment right now, and KVD's new one has caught my eye.
Yes, Isamaya Ffrench's eponymous beauty brand is home to *those* lipsticks, but trust me—everything else from the brand is just as drool-worthy. This palette, in particular, is calling my name.
I recently got an incredible Cosmedix facial with esthetician Derek Davenport, and he used this silky peptide- and antioxidant-rich serum on my skin. I definitely had that post-facial glow for at least an extra day after that.
I'm a big fan of Dieux's Deliverance Serum, Auracle Eye Cream, and OG eye patches, but these limited-edition (and gorgeously designed) masks are a must-have in my beauty kit.
I love the creamy color of this top along with the cutout neck. It will go with so many things in my spring wardrobe.
Although the weather gets a bit warmer in the spring, my curls always need a boost of hydration. This jojoba scalp oil is exactly what I need.
Being the mystic that I am, I could never pass up a candle called Spirit Lamp. The name drew me in, but the notes of peach water, white ginger, bohea tea, and coconut milk in it sound like something I'd want to burn for hours.
I've been feeling extra self-indulgent lately, and this spicy, warm, floral body cleanser feels just right for spring.
I smelled this delicious new offering from Ellis Brooklyn on a friend recently and immediately had to know what she was wearing. The notes of pear, lily of the valley, tuberose petals, and jasmine blend together so beautifully.
I've been eager to get my hands on a sample of U Beauty's new eye concentrate. The brand is so innovative with its formulas, so I know this one won't disappoint. It's a complete treatment that specifically targets free radical imbalances and oxidative stress that can cause puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles.
Bread's products always deliver, and I can't wait to get my hands on the brand's new hair gel. It's water based and moisture locking without leaving your hair crunchy or flakey.
Valaya is such a fresh and sparkling scent for spring. With notes of bergamot, mandarin, white peach, and orange flower, it smells like a sunny walk in the park, bottled.
A plaid blazer can definitely tie any neutral spring look together.
Dermalogica's new drop is packed with one of my favorite underrated skincare ingredients—oxygen. It utilizes oxygen-optimizing phytoactives and botanical extracts that oxygenate the skin's surface to breathe new life into it and give it a youthful glow.
I tend to gravitate toward nude or fall-themed eye shadow palettes, but this gorgeous new one from Rare Beauty has the perfect shades of pink, purple, and rich brown for the season.
I use at least three Milk products in my daily makeup routine and can't wait to add this creamy new contour stick from the brand to it.
I'll be stocking up on this smooth-as-silk body serum from Saint Jane Beauty. It provides the perfect amount of hydration without being sticky or heavy.
I discovered this face oil during my facial and immediately knew I had to add it to my daily routine. It's rich in omega fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E to deliver some serious nourishment and hydration to your skin.
I wasn't sure if I'd be hopping on the denim-midi-skirt train, but there's no better time than spring in Los Angeles to give it a try.
I'm a huge fan of plumping glosses but haven't given this creamy shade from Kosas a try yet.
I'm a huge bath person. I'll throw anything from Epsom salt to crystals in mine, and this calming herbal mix from House of Intuition is next up to buy on my bathtime wish list.
I've seen Ffrench use this on her Instagram, and let me tell you—the glow is unreal. It creates the perfect base for makeup, and now, I officially need it.
Whenever my skin's a bit dehydrated, I bust out this luxe mask from Luzern Labs. It's infused with ruby powder, Alpine rose stem cells, and a proprietary peptide ferment to leave your skin feeling soft and looking extra luminous.
I've been obsessed with this vitamin C serum from Matter of Fact lately. My skin looks so much brighter and more even after just two weeks of use. Since I've been using it, I've also noticed that my skin has been far less dehydrated than usual, and my dark spots have faded significantly.
WWW Beauty Director Erin Jahns and I are huge fans of The Now. It's our place of choice when it comes to rest and relaxation. This nourishing balm is one of my favorite things to keep on hand because it's like a spa appointment in a jar. It relieves sore muscles and tension and, as a bonus, smells amazing. I always make sure I'm fully stocked on it.
