34 New Beauty Products Our Editors Are Loving This Month

"The Tarte Limited-Edition Cheek Stain ($30) is going to be a summer makeup staple for me. The water-infused gel-cream blush gives your cheeks a diffused, natural-looking wash of color. It's so easy to blend with your fingertips and the no-mess stick makes it perfect for taking on the go, which I basically am all season long." — Jessica Harrington, beauty editor

"The original CC cream from IT Cosmetics is something of a ride-or-die for me, so I've tried every spinoff and dupe you could possibly imagine. The only one that's even remotely close to the OG: this IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation SPF 40 ($42). It's got all the things I love about the original — impressive coverage, staying power, sun protection — only with a lightweight formula and subtle glow that feels like nada on skin." — Kelsey Castañon, beauty director

"It looks like a lip gloss, but the Exa High Fidelity Balancing Color Correctors ($27) feel like concealers — and have just a solid coverage — and never feel heavy on the skin. They cancel out my under-eye dark shadows like a dream and are so pigmented that you only need the smallest bit for maximum coverage." — Ariel Baker, assistant beauty editor

"Brow pens are a fun invention, but many of them are tricky to apply or dry out after one use. Arches & Halos Angled Bristle Tip Waterproof Brown Pen ($13) is the opposite. It glides on, looks natural, and lasts forever. Plus, I've used mine a couple of dozen times, and it's still going strong." — Dawn Davis, executive beauty director, Vox Media

"I don't know what's in the water this year, but I'm really digging lip glosses right now. One of my favorites I've tried of late is the Caliray Glazed & Infused Plumping Glassy Lip Trip ($19), which doesn't give you that sticky, goopy, tacky feeling you'll find from glosses of yore — only the hydration and shine you want." — KC

"Charlotte Tilbury's Collagen Superfusion Face Oil ($80) launched last month, and, ever since, it's been making my makeup look better. I'm a stickler about my skin-care routine; I've built it to give me that "glazed-donut" glow. And yet, I've grown used to the disappointment of seeing that patiently made radiance disappear with each step of my makeup routine. This oil changed that; that shiny and glossy finish that helps make me actually look alive remains even after I've covered it with layers of tinted creams and powders. Yes, it's expensive, but you've been as frustrated as I have, it might be worth the investment." — Samantha Sasso, editor, branded content

"Though I typically follow a six-step skin-care routine before bed, sometimes I just can't muster up the energy to do the entire thing. When that happens, I reach for something that will treat my skin for a myriad but only require me to put on one product, like the Saint Jane Beauty Sacred Sleep Overnight Repair ($70). It's formulated with retinol to treat fine lines and smooth, lavender and violet flower to soothe redness, and elderberry for antioxidants and hydration. I can put it on after cleansing and still wake up with glowy, hydrating skin." — JH

"Sometimes good things can get better — case in point: Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Eye Serum 2.0 ($106). The supercharged version of the iconic eye serum now contains peptides and anti-aging botanical extracts in addition to the antioxidant idebenone. It made my pesky dark circles less noticeable in just a few days, and the cooling applicator feels amazing on a tough morning." — DD

"The Ferver Fermented Lactic Acid Tonic Face Treatment ($16) uses, as the name suggests, a fermented lactic acid, which means it works fast to sink into pores and lift dead skin cells, so you look instantly refreshed without the irritation. But unlike most exfoliating toners, this one you can wash off. After letting it sit on skin for about three minutes, you can rinse it off with cool water, which, frankly, really helps with the tingling sensation that comes along with using this product. The jury is still out on fermented beauty, but this product might make a case for it — at least in my routine." — SS

"La Prairie's latest launch, the White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire ($440), was inspired by the 'magical encounter of light and water,' with an impressive formula that stays very on-theme. The treatment lotion (which is kind of like a mix between a toner and a serum) is made with encapsulated lumidose, La Prairie's proprietary molecule that gives your skin that lit-from-within quality, the brand's iconic Swiss golden caviar extract and Swiss golden caviar water, and its Exclusive Cellular Complex, the brand's signature age-defying ingredient. OK, so what does that mean? Basically, every time you pat this luxurious essence into your face you'll feel like you just stepped out of an exclusive, Cate Blanchett-worthy, money-is-no-object style Swiss spa, with a glow to match." — AK

"I've been loving the Dermalogica Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist ($45) for a little while now, but I got a pretty intensive facial yesterday and it's become a literal staple while my skin recovers. If you need hydrated skin, do yourself a favor and pick this up immediately." — AB

"The new Lancer Skincare's Triple Peptide Drops ($125) have become a staple in my nighttime skin-care routine. Packed with peptides to strengthen the skin's barrier, vitamin E for healing and moisture, and niacinamide to brighten and smooth, it's the perfect all-in-one serum. I like to use it after cleansing to provide a barrier between my skin and my retinol." — JH

"Vitamin C is such an interesting ingredient, and it's so cool to see all the different innovations around how to keep it stable and potent. The Farmacy 10% Waterless Vitamin C Serum ($50) is the first of its kind to hit the market — what makes it special is the lack of water or oil, which allows for maximum stability of the L-ascorbic acid. This equals even better results, like brightening dark spots and improving skin texture. And while vitamin c serums can often have weird smells or sticky, pilly textures, this serum glides on scent-free and absorbs in a flash." — AK

"I recently tested Philip B's Weightless Mega Curl Enhancer ($48), and I was blown away by how great it was. Not only did it smell absolutely amazing, but the leave-in conditioner also left my hair feeling softer than it has in years. It helped smooth my frizz and flyaways, and it left me smelling so good my boyfriend couldn't stop burying his face in my hair." — RR

"I recently had a Slack chat with a colleague about the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Resurfacing Body Scrub ($56), and we both unanimously agreed: this sh*t works. After two weeks of use — spaced out over a few days — the back of my arms and legs feel so much smoother. Even my dry, flaky elbows have been ailed by this miracle formula." — KC

"The Soap and Glory Perfect Zen Bath Milk ($12) leaves my skin so baby soft, I never want to leave my bathtub. The smell is also incredible and immediate transports you to the spa of your dreams without you ever having to leave your house." — AB

"I keep it simple with my manicures so you can bet I love a year-round nail polish, and there is no color more timeless than the new Essie Gel Couture Pattern Play Nail Polish in Totally Plaid ($15). It's that perfect hue of forest green that works perfectly for every single season." — KC
