I hate to admit it (I am a beauty director, after all), but my beauty routine has been lacking a little excitement recently. Despite receiving and testing every new beauty product around, I've found myself in a bit of a funk with my routine. Rather than indulging in a luxurious skincare routine, taking time with my makeup application and treating myself to everything showers, I've been mindlessly slapping on my beauty products without much thought—but all of this changed the minute spring officially sprung.

As soon as the sun started shining and we entered the new season, I took a long, hard look at myself in the mirror and decided it was time to swap out the old in favour of some truly joy-inducing spring beauty products. I'm talking facial tans that make me feel like my very best self, fresh perfumes that put a pep in my step, face serums that boost radiance and hair glosses that leave my strands bouncing sun rays off in every direction.

Luckily, as is the nature of my job, I am inundated with the best beauty products around. I have spent the last couple of weeks testing and trialling hundreds of products to compile an edit of the most joyful and high-performing spring beauty products out there. Trust me—these are the best beauty products to have on your radar this spring.
