24 Luxe Makeup, Skin & Body Products on the Editor’s Wish List

shop in store is a monthly column dedicated to rounding up the latest arrivals, seasonal trends and styles from our favorite brands and retailers.

From the outside looking in, being a fashion or beauty editor seems like the opposite of a job. It looks like a lifestyle where you get the chance to attend glittering events, interview celebrities, analyze runways from the front row, and test newly launched products. But what you don’t see are virtual meetings with brand founders, product development chats over coffee, and long email chains regarding messaging. So when I say “I shop for a living,” what I really mean is “I study brands for a living.” This type of market research often results in a big stack of boxes in my package room and stories for your reading (and purchasing) pleasure.

As we enter a new season, I have four brands on heavy rotation, covering everything from bodycare and skincare to makeup and fragrance. If you’re one of those people who changes their routine with the season, here are some feel-good, pampering-yourself beauty products that will make spring feel even more fabulous. Explore the body oil, snail mucin serum, cream-to-powder blush, and musky scent below.

My fellow editors introduced me to Cycler in late 2025, and it has become one of those brands that is integral to my body care routine. When guests stay over, I always leave body wash and oils in the bathroom for them, and everyone always raves about how incredible they feel and smell. My shower routine isn’t complete without Vanilla Verve, but I’m excited to experiment with Naked Neroli Deodorant Gel and Milky Essence, which our senior beauty editor Jamie Schneider swears by.

My love for Prada knows no bounds, so of course, I’m a fan of Prada Beauty’s line of luxury products. Sabrina Carpenter sold internet-famous blue lip balm in her “Please Please Please” music video in 2024, and it’s remained a staple ever since. The brand continues to launch more exciting items like its new cream-to-powder blush, blurring concealer, and Pradascope Mascara (do you see that wand?).

Believe it or not, I’m new to the fragrance game, and Dossier has been such a great introduction to my journey of searching for a signature scent. It’s comforting to know that you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to experiment with new notes and scent profiles. Lately, I’ve been loving scented airy linens as a nice transition into spring. It’s like taking fresh clothes out of the dryer! I will continue to immerse myself in all of the below until further notice.

Until I fulfill my dream of going to South Korea and raiding all the K-beauty markets I can access in the US, I’ll continue to indulge in Korean skincare. The competition is stiff, but Beauty of Joseon is at the top of my roster right now. It is not only economical but also effective. I recently got a facial using a series of these products, and my glow was unreal. After only a few weeks of use, I can already see a difference in the hydration and overall glow of my skin.
