A Spring Refresh Dreads My Arrival—30 Beauty and Wellness Essentials I'm Eyeing Right Now
(Image credit: @kaitlyn_mclintock) Most Wanted is a weekly feature where one editor, staff member, or influencer shares their top 30 essentials or current wish-list items. I really enjoy new beginnings, whether they're significant or minor. Whether it’s New Year’s, a milestone birthday, or just a simple Sunday reset while I put fresh sheets on the bed and take a rejuvenating shower, I cherish fresh starts. They are filled with potential, chances, and enthusiasm. They are also an ideal moment to reassess our routines, acknowledge what works, and discard what doesn't.
That's why I’ve been refreshing my beauty and wellness routine seasonally for years. I dedicate time to thoroughly clean my makeup brushes, disinfect every part of my vanity, and make necessary changes based on my current needs. I may even experiment with a new skincare device, add new supplements to my regimen, or open up a blank journal.
I particularly love spring refreshes. Perhaps it’s because it symbolizes growth and renewal, but I can't resist revitalizing my worn-out winter routine. Below, you’ll find all 30 (yes, 30!) beauty and wellness favorites currently on my wish list.

FP Movement X Bala Exclusive Bangles 2 Lb. Weights
Ankle weights are essential for most at-home Pilates sessions. I have my eye on this lovely peach pair from the FP Movement x Bala collaboration. I just adore the color.

FP Movement 8 Lb Dumbbell
I can't help but grab these coordinating peach dumbbells.
COVERGIRL
Outlast Vegan Lip Stain
I’ve noticed several content creators using this drugstore lip stain, and I'm motivated to purchase it for myself. It delivers intense, long-lasting color with a lightweight feel. Plus, the pen-like applicator is super easy to use.
Crest
3DWhitestrips Professional White Teeth Whitening Kit
After a winter filled with tea and coffee, I need a brighter smile.

FP Movement Carpe Diem Shorts
I'm attempting to get back into running, even though I'm not very good at it. These running shorts are my new favorite, and I want one in every color, starting with this classic white pair.
Papier
Rise and Shine Wellness Journal
I’ve always wanted to try a wellness journal to keep track of my established habits and inspire new ones. I love Papier's aura-inspired option.
ROUND LAB
Birch Juice Moisturizing UVlock SPF 45
This is Korea's top sunscreen (crafted to comply with U.S. FDA standards). It’s so smooth and lightweight that once applied, you’ll forget you even put it on, yet it provides broad-spectrum SPF 45. It’s fantastic, and I highly suggest it.

Solar Eclipse Hand-Painted Gua Sha Treatment Hair Comb
This stunning comb not only looks gorgeous, but it also functions as a gua sha tool to temporarily enhance circulation to hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
Urban Outfitters
Soft & Stretchy Wide Knit Headband Set
I enjoy wearing simple, stretchy headbands, but for spring, I'm looking for a brighter color than black. These should fit the bill.
Essie
Hard to Resist Advanced Nail Strengthener
The dry, winter air has taken a toll on my nails. They’re weak, flexible, and occasionally split. I’ll depend on Essie’s Advanced Nail Strengthener to help restore them before I treat myself to fun spring manicures.

Wonder Valley Rosemary Hair Oil
I’ve repeatedly heard how beneficial rosemary is for hair and scalp health, and how using it regularly can actually stimulate hair growth. I plan to test it in my quest for long, luxurious hair by summer.
Vegamour
Gro Hair Serum for Thinning Hair
In relation to long, luxurious hair, I’ve seen remarkable results from this densifying scalp serum and want to start using it again in hopes of achieving thicker hair by summer.
Act+Acre
Scalp Dermastamp
Finally, I’ll be utilizing this scalp derma-stamp on the thinning areas near my temples. A derma-stamp, similar to a derma-roller, creates micro-injuries on the skin, which stimulates collagen production in those regions. Collagen is vital for healthy hair growth.
Kosas
Revealer Extra Bright Serum-Powered Color Correctors for Dark Circles
Despite moving forward with daylight savings time, I’m dealing with serious dark circles. Thus, this color-corrector from Kosas is at the top of my list. It conceals dark circles while visibly reducing puffiness using hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and peptides.
Tatcha
The Brightening Eye Cream With Vitamin C for Dark Circles
Regarding dark circles, I need to improve my consistency with using an eye cream.
