Vichy Mineral 89  Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer

Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer

"After using this product daily for two weeks, I can tell the difference in how my skin looks and feels. All Vichy products contain mineral water from French thermal springs — long sought for its healing properties — but until now, the most the labs managed to work in any product was 10 percent. Vichy Minéral 89 ($30) is made from hyaluronic acid and 89 percent Vichy mineralizing water, which contains 15 minerals. It's designed to be the first step in your skin care routine to fortify against pollution and make your skin more resistant to the signs of aging, and it's fragrance-free and not the slightest bit sticky." — Nancy Einhart, executive editor

Stellar Limitless Foundation

Stellar Limitless Foundation

"Former musician Monika Deol launched Stellar Beauty (now available at Sephora) after seeing there were not enough foundation options for medium skin tones. While the brand offers blushes, concealers, and more, the star category is the Limitless Foundation ($38). As someone who falls into this category — I am light medium with neutral undertones — I was pumped to check out the 24-shade range. The options cater to seemingly endless varieties of medium complexions, including picks for peach, pink, yellow, or butterscotch undertones. I landed on S04 (described as 'cream with yellow undertones'), and I love the shade. The formula is also amazing. It's oil-free and offers medium coverage, so I can make it sheer on a good skin day and heavier when I'm a little pink." — Lauren Levinson, senior editor, Beauty

Lipstick Queen Mornin' Sunshine

Lipstick Queen Mornin' Sunshine

"I have been a fan of Lipstick Queen since the brand started in 2008, but I'm particularly obsessed with its magical sheer treatments. That said, my beloved glossy red Medieval may be dethroned by this new addition to the lips-only range. Hot on the heels of Frog Prince and Hello, Sailor!, Mornin' Sunshine ($25) is Lipstick Queen's third product in its series of color-changing shades. This lipstick appears yellow in the tube — it was designed to look like a sun rising in a blue sky! — but when applied, it transforms with your skin's pH to create a bespoke coral stain. Long after the nourishing shea butter and vitamin E have worn away, your pucker will still rock a punchy pop of pigment." — Emily Orofino, editor, Beauty

This lipstick was hand-selected to be featured in the POPSUGAR Must Have box and is one of our favorite beauty picks right now. Subscribe to the Must Have box to receive treats like this monthly!

Urban Decay x Basquiat Gold Grigot Palette

Urban Decay x Basquiat Gold Grigot Palette

"Urban Decay's new collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat's estate is going to be extremely limited edition, so sign up to get notified of when you can officially order. Out of all the pieces in the collection, I was most drawn to the Gold Grigot palette ($39), which includes more neutral shades, inspired by the iconic painting. Each shadow shade is featured somewhere in Gold Grigot, the painting showcased on the lid. Plus, you can hang this work of art up in your room after using it — the palette contains a hook on the back!" — Kirbie Johnson, beauty reporter and host

Pantene Gold Series Moisture Boost Shampoo and Conditioner

Pantene Gold Series Moisture Boost Shampoo and Conditioner

"I'm constantly on the hunt for products to style my coarse hair, and I was extremely pleased with the results from Pantene's Gold Series range ($6). The new collection caters to women of color, which is great because our hair requires unique care. It comes with a complete range of products to wash, treat, prep, and style your strands at home. The products are also affordable AF, so you won't break the bank on your at-home blowout. I used the complete line on my mane and was impressed with the silky texture I was left with. The best part is, all of the products can be used to style straight or curly strands, so ladies with different hair types can get in on the action." — Aimee Simeon, assistant editor, social media

Lilah B. Tinted Lip Trio

Lilah B. Tinted Lip Trio

"While Lilah B.'s elegant packaging is what first drew me in, I knew that there was more to the brand. Plus, I kept hearings my friend rave about their lip products. Eager to say so long to my chapped Winter lips, I tested its b. kissed lip balm ($34). The creamy balm instantly soothed my lips and relieved my dryness. But if you're looking to add more color to your pout, let me recommend the new set of tinted lip balms ($92). The pink, red, and plum shimmers offer a sheer tint that you can reapply anytime you need instant hydration." — Victor Verdugo, editorial assistant, social media

Cuvee Beauty Champagne Spray

Cuvee Beauty Champagne Spray

"I'm always on the hunt for a styling spray that will lend my hair a tousled, lived-in look while also retaining moisture, and this Cuvee Beauty Champagne Spray ($45) checks all the boxes. Plus, if I'm being totally honest, it feels a bit luxurious to be spraying a bit of bubbly on my hair. What can I say, I'm a woman with refined taste!" — Brinton Parker, assistant trending editor

Tatcha Water Cream

Tatcha Water Cream

"I finally calmed my skin down after a bunch of breakouts, transitioning it from Winter to Spring. To keep it clear, I was looking for an oil-free yet hydrating face lotion when I discovered Tatcha Water Cream ($68). I've been using the silky gel cream for about two weeks, and remain zit-free (knock on wood!). It is infused with Japanese botanicals — including wild rose (to tighten pores), leopard lily (control excess oil), Hadasei-3 (blend of green tea, rice, and algae to offer radiance), and a touch 23-karat gold (to make you glow). I expect to be relying on this all season for dewy skin, minus the grease." — LL

Rodial Bee Venom Micro Sting Patches

Rodial Bee Venom Micro Sting Patches

"If a skin care treatment comes in patch form, you can bet I'll try it out . . . especially when it functions like a wrinkle freezer and filler. Rodial's new treatment pads ($110) are loaded with bee venom-infused hyaluronic acid, which is delivered into the skin via 350 tiny 'microneedles.' These needles don't hurt, but do stimulate the skin for better penetration of the powerful ingredient cocktail. Hyaluronic acid is what's used in most injectable wrinkle fillers on the market, while bee venom is known for its Botox-like properties. Combine the two and you have a powerful, pain-free way to treat fine lines. The brand recommends using them around the mouth or eyes for best results, but I also slapped one onto my stubborn forehead wrinkle and saw it vanish after 30 minutes." — EO

Emile Cordon Cashmere-On Lip Pot in "No.1 Lisa"

Emile Cordon Cashmere-On Lip Pot in "No.1 Lisa"

"Keeping consistent with my apparent April theme of Champagne-infused beauty finds, I've been obsessing over this Rosé-infused Emile Cordon lip pot treatment ($42). I like to apply it in the morning and at night on days when I wear matte lipstick formulas, since they tend to dry out my kisser; this balm softens and heals my lips while also providing antiaging protection." — BP

Pureology Hydrate Sheer Shampoo and Conditioner

Pureology Hydrate Sheer Shampoo and Conditioner

"Pureology already has one of the best hydrating color lines on the market, so I figured I might not be as impressed with the new Hydrate Sheer line. Of course, I was wrong. Hydrate Sheer is made without silicones, which kind of scares me as a bottle blonde, because I need my products to smooth, hydrate, and feel lightweight, and silicone is known for making the hair cuticle feel soft without weighing it down. After using the shampoo ($28) and conditioner ($30), my hair didn't feel heavily coated with product. It was airy and fluffy, exactly what I want as I transition into Spring." — KJ

Fine Deodorant

Fine Deodorant

"One of my goals for this year was to make the switch to natural deodorant, but trying to find one that works as well as traditional alternatives wasn't easy. I was almost ready to give up until I came across Fine's cream deodorant ($30). This tiny jar (don't worry a little goes a long way!) makes it super convenient for me to carry in my bag, while the buttery texture makes it easy to apply between workouts. But what had me hooked right away was the smell — the notes of lavender and geranium come together in a comforting smell that also leaves me feeling fresh all day." — VV

Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino All Over Body Spray

Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino All Over Body Spray

"Before you snub your nose as body spray (I know, it's such a middle-school mall product), know that Tom Ford is making it chic again! The brand is debuting some of its signature scents in dry spray oil form. The Tom Ford Fleur de Portofino All Over Body Spray ($67) is my favorite. First, the gorgeous color of the bottle is inspired by the white acacia tree, which is found in Mediterranean terrains. The fragrance is a mix of Sicilian lemon, bigarde leaf, violet leaf, jasmine, and acacia honey. Mist it all over you body (and even in your hair) to nourish skin, while leaving a long-lasting scent." — LL

RMS Beauty Champagne Rosé Luminizer

RMS Beauty Champagne Rosé Luminizer

"I've been a longtime user of RMS Beauty's original Magic Luminizer, and the new Champagne Rosé Luminizer ($38) might even be better! The subtle blush-pink, champagne highlighter melts into skin to give you a dewy opalescent glow. Plus, the formula is certified organic and made with amazing ingredients like coconut oil, beeswax, sunflower seed oil, and rosemary. I love to wear it on my cheeks and eyelids for a glossy look." — LL

Votre Vu Les Sorbet

Votre Vu Les Sorbet

"Remember those delicious creamsicle Flintstones push-pops from your childhood? They've basically been reimagined into a chic, effective, and (literally) cool serum. Votre Vu's innovative new formula ($140) comes with a bottle of liquid and the container seen here. Pour the liquid into the push-up dispenser, then pop it into your freezer. It solidifies into a refreshing, hydrating sorbet that you can apply directly from the push-up onto your face. As you apply, you'll notice an immediate firming sensation — that's because the serum is loaded with hydrolyzed collagen and elastin to tighten, smooth, and moisturize." — EO

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

"Since this vitamin-rich Biossance oil ($72) landed on my desk, I've been applying it to my face and neck twice per day with incredible results. I used to avoid oil-based products out of fear that they'd make me look greasy, but this oil treatment softens my skin and lends it a significant glow and doesn't affect my normal makeup routine in any way. I've even had co-workers comment on how bright my skin is looking lately!" — BP

Jouer Rose Gold Lip Topper and Lip Créme

Jouer Rose Gold Lip Topper and Lip Créme

"We'll look back on the three year span from 2014 to 2017 and remember it as the times of millennial pink and rose gold. I know many men and women who are doubling down on rose gold: from engagement rings to hair color, it's a shade that doesn't seem to be disappearing anytime soon. And who would want it to? It's part rose! It's part gold! It's the best of both worlds. Jouer Cosmetics has perfected the liquid lipstick and has revolutionized the lip gloss game by introducing 'lip toppers.' Sure, they're glosses. But just by changing the name, everyone wants these transparent products in their bags. Genius, right? I'm basically obsessed with the new Rose Gold Lip Créme and Rose Gold Lip Topper (Out April 4). The lip créme does not budge, and the topper is the perfect way to add a shine to an otherwise matte metallic lip." — KJ

Aerin Garden Rose Eau De Cologne

Aerin Garden Rose Eau De Cologne

"As soon as Spring rolls around, I swap my musky fragrances for light, floral scents. One of my new favorites is Aerin’s new Garden Rose Eau de Cologne ($165). The new perfume is a part of the Rose Cologne Collection, inspired by roses. It is extremely light, yet intoxicatingly sexy. It starts with the fresh feel of Geramium and Rose Bouton Sauvage. The heart of the fragrance blooms into White Bulgarian Rose and Rose Centifolia. It ends with soft notes of sandalwood, amber, and musk. It has easily become my new go-to fragrance and my BF is always obsessed when I wear it. One spritz of this will have you feeling fully bloomed and pumped for Spring." — AS

Kératase Aura Botanica Essence D'Eclat

Kératase Aura Botanica Essence D'Eclat

"This 99 percent natural bi-phase mist is a Spring hair essential. Since I started using the Kératase Aura Botanica Essence D'Eclat ($43) to tame my frizzy natural curls, it's been working amazingly well. It gives me just a bit of texture, plus nourishment and shine at the same time. I use it on both dry and wet hair to either prime or spruce up locks. When I apply it on dry hair, I use it in tandem with dry shampoo on the roots and I put this on the ends. It contains a bevy of nourishing oils, including jojoba, avocado, coconut, and argan. Plus, the musky fragrance of sweet orange essential oil and damask rose flower water is like actual hair perfume." — LL

Dior Hydra Life Extra Plump Smooth Balm Mask

Dior Hydra Life Extra Plump Smooth Balm Mask

"After feeling apprehensive about using hydrating masks (why not just use moisturizer?), I have done a complete 180 and now religiously incorporate them into my routine. This new Dior treatment ($69) is one of my latest go-tos. It's impossibly rich (loaded with shea butter, jojoba, and glycerin), but doesn't feel greasy. In fact, it soaks deep into skin to leave it feeling super soft. Slick it on for just three minutes and wipe it off to reveal a plump, dewy complexion, or use my preferred method — use it as a sleeping mask so you can wake up looking radiant and refreshed." — EO

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in "Make Me Mauve"

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in "Make Me Mauve"

"I'll be the first to admit that I never go to the nail salon. I find it hard to justify manicures and pedicures. Even with gel polish, I manage to chip or crack my nails within 24 hours. That's why I'm constantly on the lookout for long-lasting polishes that I can apply and remove myself, like this Sally Hansen Miracle Gel shade for Spring ($7). It's subtle enough to go with any outfit, but playful enough to feel springtime-chic . . . and most importantly, it lasts me upward of a week, which I can't say for any other polishes I've tried!" — BP

Caudalie Vine[Activ] 3-in-1 Moisturizer

Caudalie Vine[Activ] 3-in-1 Moisturizer

"I'm a big fan of the French brand Caudalie, because after years of using its products, I know the efficacy of each product that it puts out is above and beyond what you might expect. The new Vine[Activ] collection is an answer to heavy products that protect the skin from free radicals and pollution and helps with aging. The four lightweight products — a serum, moisturizer, eye cream, and detox oil — work together to leave your skin glowing and smooth. My favorite is the 3-in-1 moisturizer ($44), since I'm taking a more minimal approach to my beauty routine these days. It feels invisible on the skin while adding a subtle gleam." — KJ

R+Co Sail Soft Wave Spray

R+Co Sail Soft Wave Spray

"When your hair gets as long as mine, it becomes a struggle to find products that can style efficiently while also feeling clean and fresh. R+Co's new Sail spray ($29) does just that: it helps form waves that last days, while also feeling bouncy and fresh, and smelling incredible. I simply spray a bit of Sail onto my hair after towel-drying, throw it into a topknot or braid, then sleep on it; the result is perfectly beachy waves, minus the icky, crusty texture that I've gotten from several salt-texturizing products." — BP

China Glaze Holo Graphic Pre-Glued Nails

China Glaze Holo Graphic Pre-Glued Nails

"Press-on nails are having a moment. I say this because I've looked at some of my closest friends' manicures and said, 'LOVE YOUR MANICURE!' (in the most basic b*tch way) and they'll casually mention that they're wearing press-ons. This is not a joke. Grown women are wearing these. Which pleases me to no end, because I love to test drive different looks with my manicure and at a rapid rate. I'm especially fond of China Glaze's Holo Graphic Pre-Glued Nails ($10), because they've hopped on the metallic nail trend and made it easy and affordable. Plus, I didn't have to file these to fit my nail beds, and they don't come off easily." — KJ

MAC Cosmetics Metallic Lips

MAC Cosmetics Metallic Lips

"I have about 16 lipsticks in my purse at all times. This time, I will not be swayed. I will not gr— OH, IS THAT A NEW METALLIC LIP COLLECTION FROM MAC COSMETICS? I'm genuinely thrilled with the Metallic Lips ($17) collection, because MAC didn't just drudge up the quirky shades that I will wear out to a big event, like a concert or festival, or on my weekly Target run. They included several nudes — meaning shades flattering for every skin tone — as well. My favorites? Devotional, a purple-brown, Metalhead, a 'blackened purple with multi-coloured pearl,' and Cold Front, a periwinkle that's exciting to layer on top of other colors." — KJ

Cocofloss

Cocofloss

"I take my dental hygiene very seriously, so when I heard that Cocofloss ($20 for pack of three) promised to not only clean my teeth but to also scrub them like a loofah, I was intrigued. The floss is ultrasoft and made with filaments that separate and expand between the teeth to reach spaces your toothbrush doesn't fit. After flossing, my mouth felt exceptionally clean." — Sarah Siegel, editorial assistant, shopping and products.

The Cottage Greenhouse Carrot and Neroli Rich and Repair Body Wash

The Cottage Greenhouse Carrot and Neroli Rich and Repair Body Wash

"The windy weather in New York in recent weeks has been drying out my skin. Luckily, once I started using Carrot and Neroli Rich and Repair Body Wash ($22), my body felt significantly more nourished. The silky body wash doesn't include any soap (which can dry out your skin) and includes ultrahydrating ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa butter, and honey. I also discovered that it makes a great shaving gel, meaning one fewer product taking up space in my shower." — SS

Eve Lom Cleanser and Muslin Cloth

Eve Lom Cleanser and Muslin Cloth

"As a self-described beauty addict, I tend to use a lot of products on my face every day. Removing these products is usually a lengthy process, but the Eve Lom Cleanser and Muslin Cloth ($50) has made my evening routine so much quicker. I spread the cleanser over my face and use the dampened muslin cloth to wipe away all the makeup and grime from my face while lightly exfoliating my skin. I love how hydrated and clean it leaves my face." — SS
