11 April 2024 Beauty Launches That Wowed Our Editors

“If you (like me) are already craving the heat of summer, MIAMI NECTAR will transport your senses to warmer days with its jasmine, coconut water, vanilla, and amber woods notes. For fans of the cult-fave Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream scent, this perfume gives that same yummy, sun-kissed vibe — but all grown up.” — Olivia Rose Rushing, beauty writer, Bustle

“I tend to take my skin care pretty seriously — and even with my ultra-curated routine of a few staples, this Pistachio Face Oil has made its way into my must-haves. The rich, vitamin-filled formula feels incredibly luxurious on my face, and I truly wake up with skin that feels baby soft after applying it.” — ORR

“’Tis the season for lookin sun-kissed, but this summer, Dolce Glow has dreamed up an innovative essential that may nix the need for a bronzer altogether. Akin to a self-tanning mousse, this product develops into a long-lasting glow wherever it’s applied, which basically means those no-makeup looks will still have you looking contoured and snatched. So good.” — ORR

“As a beauty writer, my purse has a constant rotation of about 20 lip products — and throughout April, I’ve always had a Glossy Balm in the shade ‘Hocus Cocoa’ with me. Not only is it a yummy, vanilla-scented gloss that gives major high-shine, but the formula acts as a nourishing lip treatment that feels smooth on my lips. Thank you, queen Ari.” — ORR

“I'm an air-dry girl and also a fan of Oribe's Alchemy collection, so I knew this new launch would fit perfectly into my routine. I love that the balm sinks in and adds a slight definition without leaving residue or making my hair feel stringy. The best part is that it repairs and strengthens my hair as it styles — so it's stuck with me for good.” — Faith Xue, beauty director, BDG

“These silky brushes from makeup artist Aliana Lopez make my routine feel instantly more luxurious. One is designed for powder, one for cream, and the last for smaller areas like under eyes. My favorite part is how portable they are — perfect for tucking in your makeup bag as you travel this summer.” — FX

“I simultaneously want to eat, drink, and inhale this new scent from Perfumehead. Inspired by ‘the morning after’ a night out in LA, it's a smoky gourmand with notes of cognac, vanilla, and sandalwood that smells completely delectable. Wearing this fragrance is like donning a different, sultrier persona in one spritz.” — FX

“My hair is fragile, especially fresh out of the shower, but this leave-in spray instantly detangles, softens, and makes it easy to either air-dry my hair or gently blow-dry. It's like a primer for my hair, and now a vital part of my post-shower routine.” — FX

“I get terrible period cramps and am constantly trying supplements to help — but so far have stuck to only one because, well, they're so enjoyable to consume. O-Positive tastes like yummy candy, but the gummies are made with chasteberry, vitamin B6, and lemon balm — all ingredients proven to help with cramping and PMS. More importantly, it makes taking a supplement feel like a treat, and for that, I'm a fan.” — FX

“I’m a sucker for a versatile lip product, and the WYN Lip Serum is just that. Whether I’m going to the gym or drinks with my friends, this product has been the perfect thing to keep in my purse for that glossy, non-sticky shine.” — Gracie Farquhar, social media strategist, Bustle

“This fragrance smells like frolicking around the European countryside in the summer, and makes me feel like I've been transported to a flowery meadow, enjoying the umbrage of a verdant tree. This all-encompassing perfume feels both nostalgic and aspirational, and with notes of heliotrope, jasmine, and vetiver, it makes the perfect summer scent.” — Abby Lebet, editorial operations manager, BDG
