But what should you do with all this extra energy?

And what better excuse is there to give your makeup bag a spring reset?

Whether you're looking for some day out essentials like lip balm and SPF or you're on the hunt for a vibrant nail polish and shimmery eyeshadow for your next night out, here are all the best spring beauty buys to rejuvinate your routine this season.
