Essie #EssieLove Moments Collection in Sheer Luck, $9
Essie's newest collection seems designed for gifting, with shades like Congrats and Birthday Girl — cute, right? I'm especially digging Sheer Luck, a paler-than-pale pink with just the right amount of low-key shimmer.
Pat McGrath Matte Trance Lipstick, $38
There's nothing quite like the joy of opening a Pat McGrath Labs product for the first time — and that's just the beginning. Things only get better as you actually use the product. The color payoff and drama-factor of these lippies, in particular, are pretty much unparalleled.
L'Oreal Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Manuka Honey All Over Balm, $11.99
It's creamy and balmy and it smells like honey...need I say more? You can use it anywhere you like, but I especially like it for my hands.
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Lip Cream, $7.99
If you're a fan of glossy, hydrating lipsticks, you can't go wrong with this one. It adds the prettiest sheen to your lips and the color payoff is great as well. For me, standout shades included Mauvin' to Brazil and Acai Berry.
Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm, $38
I honestly didn't know it was possible for a cleansing balm to spark this much joy, but there you go. Between the periwinkle packaging, the saffron hue of the balm itself, the buttery texture and the luxurious orange scent, this balm will definitely put a smile on your face.
