APRIL 2026
Spring has officially arrived and I’m fully embracing all of the fresh, uplifting energy that comes with it. There’s something about April that always feels like a reset for me… from my mindset to my daily rituals and everything in between. It’s that time of year where I naturally start reaching for products that help me feel more polished, refreshed and radiant.
This month feels especially exciting as we’ve welcomed a highly requested new brand into the store, and I’ve been having so much fun testing everything out and weaving a few of those pieces into my routine. Alongside that, I’ve been leaning on some true holy grail staples that I find myself coming back to year after year.
Whether it’s refining my skin, simplifying my makeup routine or adding in small rituals that make a big difference, these are the products I’ve been using on repeat lately and couldn’t wait to share with you.
These have been such a standout for me lately, especially as a prep step before makeup. I love that they come in a jar rather than individually wrapped—it feels more elevated, less wasteful, and you can really see how saturated they are with serum. It just feels like a more substantial, luxurious treatment that you’ll actually want to keep out on your vanity and use regularly.
They’re designed to target multiple signs of aging at once—think fine lines, dryness, dullness, loss of firmness, and uneven tone—while also brightening the under-eye area. The formula is powered by Chebula, a potent antioxidant that helps protect and visibly improve the skin over time, along with deeply hydrating ingredients that instantly soften and smooth.
What I’ve really noticed is how much better my makeup applies afterward. The under-eye area looks more hydrated and refreshed, which helps prevent that creasing or dryness that can happen with concealer. It’s one of those small steps that makes a big difference in your overall look, especially if you’re getting ready for the day or an event.
Irresistible… I love to smell like a delicious treat that you just want to devour, and that is exactly what Mochi Milk gives you. This delectable rice milk scent has this soft, creamy sweetness that feels both comforting and addictive in the best way.
It’s inspired by that fluffy, pillowy texture of mochi, and you really get that through the fragrance. There’s a subtle sweetness from marshmallow and vanilla, balanced with warm, musky undertones that keep it from feeling overly sugary. It melts into the skin in a way that feels very personal, like a true skin scent but with a little more personality.
What I love most is how wearable it is. It’s cozy, slightly gourmand, but still elevated and clean. It’s the kind of scent people lean in for, where they can’t quite place it but know they love it. I’ve been reaching for this constantly when I want to feel soft, feminine, and just a little bit indulgent.
This is such a fascinating product and truly one of the most unique treatments I’ve come across in a long time. I love that you can really use it however you see fit, depending on what your skin is asking for. Anytime my skin feels stressed, tired, lackluster, or just a little off, this is the kind of treatment I want to reach for. It has that rare ability to make your skin look noticeably better while still feeling incredibly refined and intentional.
Longeva is inspired by AYUNA’s concept of “Epidermal Fasting,” which is essentially about giving the skin a break from excess and allowing it to return to its natural rhythm of balance, renewal, and vitality. Rather than overwhelming the skin, it works from a place of intelligent restraint, which I think is such a beautiful and modern approach to skincare.
The formula is incredibly sophisticated. It is powered by what AYUNA calls Botanical Fasting Factors, derived from Vitis vinifera cell cultures, along with botanical cell lysates, symbiotic ferments, and biomimetic humectants. These ingredients are designed to help refine texture, support elasticity, strengthen the skin barrier, preserve microbiota balance, and bring the complexion back to a smoother, more luminous, visibly rested state.
I also love that it is packaged in ampoules, which makes it feel like a true treatment moment. It is perfect when you want to do an intensive reset, especially during seasonal changes, after travel, or in times of stress when your skin needs extra support. AYUNA even recommends using it in cycles, whether that is a short concentrated ritual or a more complete monthly course, which makes it feel very adaptable depending on the moment you are in.
What makes it even more compelling is that the results are not just theoretical. AYUNA cites clinical findings showing improvements in elasticity, wrinkles, redness, and microbiota balance, which speaks to why the skin can look so revitalized, calm, and refined after using it consistently.
To me, this is the kind of product you keep on hand for those moments when your skin needs a reset but you still want the experience to feel elevated, beautiful, and deeply effective. It is skincare for when you want to step back, simplify, and let your skin remember how to glow again.
Blush is my ultimate desert island product. Nothing transforms the face faster, and in spring, it becomes such an essential for that fresh flush. There’s something about a wash of pink-toned color that instantly makes you look more alive, more energized, and more put together, even if you’re wearing very little else. This season especially, I’m loving that soft, doll-like, high flush look, blended across the cheeks and slightly into the temples for a more dimensional, ethereal effect.
Bohemian Girl is the perfect shade for this… it’s a retro, sunny, 70’s peach that instantly warms up the complexion and gives you that effortless, just-back-from-the-sun kind of glow. It’s not too peachy, it’s still such a true pink but gives you that spring time freshness that you get with peach tones.
This formula is truly a holy grail. It’s technically a powder, but because of the wet powder technology, it melts into the skin like a cream. The finish is dewy, never flat, and it gives that multidimensional glow that looks so natural in daylight.
It’s also packed with skin-loving ingredients like buriti and jojoba oils, so you’re getting hydration and nourishment along with color. And the fact that it’s refillable just makes it that much better.
This luxe tart cherry serenity supplement has become a non-negotiable part of my nightly routine. I love this because it creates this subtle shift in your nervous system. You feel your energy soften, your body relaxes, and you ease into a more restful state that feels so nice as you move through your wind down routine.
The formula combines taurine and spermidine, which work together to support nervous system regulation, reduce stress, and promote deeper, more restorative sleep. Taurine is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing amino acid with a structure similar to GABA and glycine. It acts as a neurotransmitter with cell-protective properties and helps induce a calm state of being. I can definitely feel it working to gently settle my energy down, creating that subtle sense of serenity.
With consistent use, you may experience reduced anxiety, improved sleep, and a more elevated mood. Spermidine, the other key ingredient, has been rising in popularity in the wellness space for its ability to support longevity within the cells. It works to reduce inflammation, support mitochondrial health, and promote cell autophagy. These two ingredients work in tandem to give you that lit-from-within glow that often comes from truly getting your beauty sleep.
Taking this consistently really translates into better mood, improved recovery, and that well-rested vitality. I even track my sleep with my Oura ring and have noticed an increase in my deep sleep levels, which is always so cool to see reflected back.
It’s something I genuinely look forward to at night, whether I take it straight or mix it into a sparkling water, and I’m so excited for all of you to experience it.
