The start of Daylight Savings Time jolted my senses in more ways than one. Not only did time "leap forward," but the onset of longer days and warmer temperatures also means a quarter of the year is already over.
While I sit in disbelief at the passage of time, I like to distract myself with some online product shopping. It seems I'm not the only one. Hundreds of thousands of retinols, texture sprays, eye creams, foundations and more are flying off Amazon's virtual shelves. In that vein, allow me to take you on a mini retrospective of what like-minded beauty fanatics are already purchasing most this year.
