22 April 2019 Makeup, Skin Care, & Hair Product Launches You May Have Missed

May is fully underway and while I'm a believer in looking forward, I'm making an exception for the best April makeup, skin care, and hair product launches you may have missed when they first came out. If you were a fan of all of the neon-colored, hydrating, and shimmery goodness that came from in March, buckle your seatbelt because April is bringing you more where that all came from.

So, what did April have in store for beauty lovers? Sephora Collection added a bunch of new products to its skin care line, including a water gel mask that will transform tired skin into hydrated and dewy skin in 15 minutes. Dior Beauty debuted a new brow gel mascara that'll give you the same enviable brows found on Miss Bella Hadid. For anyone looking to get their glow on, Charlotte Tilbury and ILIA have two new highlighters that will make your skin look extra luminous. And if you've been wanting to get in on the colored eyeliner trend, Tarte Cosmetics and Unframe The Beauty's new pencils will make it super easy and fun to do so.

Here are Bustle's favorite picks from everything that came out in April for what you need to add to your makeup, skin care, and hair routine right now.

Sephora Collection Water Gel Mask Hydrate + Refresh

Sephora Collection expanded their skin care offerings last month and it included this ultra-hydrating water gel mask that will leave your skin looking radiant. The best part, it's only $15.

Skin Inc My Daily Dose for Bright Eyes Cream

Skin Inc created their first serum-infused eye cream made with brightening, de-puffing, and smoothing ingredients like Apple Stem Cell extract, Vitamins E, B7, and a bunch of botanical extracts. Unlike other heavier eye creams, this whipped formula goes on light and absorbs into your skin quickly.

The Olive U Studio Box

This adorable pink box from Olive & June is more than just an Instagrammable moment — it's got everything you need to nail the perfect at-home mani (no pun intended). The Studio Box comes with the following: the Nail Polish Remover Pot, a Clean-Up Brush, a flat-edge Nail Clipper, a dual-grit Nail File, a Buffer Cube for shaping and smoothing, The Poppy universal polish bottle handle, your choice of nail polish, The Top Coat, and hydrating Cuticle Serum with cactus flower.

Indie Lee I-Recover Mind + Body Gel

Bustle's Executive Fashion and Beauty Editor Kara McGrath swears by Indie Lee's newest body gel. It's ideal for post-workouts, thanks to arnica, black pepper, lavender, and patchouli essential oils. It's fast-absorbing and will soothe any minor tension or pain.

Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Palette

This gorgeous palette from Charlotte Tilbury has everything you need — a glowy highlighter, blush, and bronzer, all of which will deliver a light-diffusing, rainbow effect on your skin.

Diorshow Pump 'N' Brow

I am very picky about my brow gels, but instantly fell in love with Dior's newest squeezable brow mascara. It adds volume and pigment without going too overboard, so you can keep it light and natural or keep building to go big and bold.

Oribe Moisture & Control Deep Treatment Masque

Oribe launched a collection specifically for type 4 hair and Bustle's Kayla Greaves tested every product out. While she loved all of the products, this masque in particular left her curls feeling soft and smelling incredible.

Aesop Gentle Facial Cleansing Milk

If your skin feels too dry and tight after you wash it, consider Aesop's new cleansing milk that promises to nourish your skin (with ingredients like grape seed oil, sandalwood, and lavender) while washing away dirt and impurities in the gentlest way possible.

Tom Ford BADASS Mascara

Treat your lashes to something luxurious with Tom Ford's newest mascara. The formula aims to boost both length and volume with jet-black intensity.

Glow Recipe Pineapple-C Bright Serum

The fruit-loving beauty innovators over at Glow Recipe are branching out beyond watermelons and blueberries with the brand's latest skin care product infused with pineapple juice, one of the most powerful forms of natural vitamin C. This serum will not only make your skin look bright, glowy, and hydrated, but it also smells like a tropical vacation.

Playa

Playa's New Day Mist is three products in one. It's a hydrator, to rehydrate dry, dirty strands. It's a hairspray that can smooth out any dents or creases. It's also a fragrance to make your strands smell good again. Consider it a little thank you gift for your hair for looking so good all the time.

Honest Beauty Vitamin C Radiance Serum

If you've been looking for a clean Vitamin C serum, Honest Beauty is here to answer your wish. The brand's new Vitamin C Radiance Serum is infused with artichoke and clover extracts to brighten your skin, while adding a glowy sheen.

Sisley Blur Expert Luminous Matte Perfecting Veil

I rarely use powders to set my makeup, but that all changed when I tried this new launch from Sisley-Paris. It gives you that Instagram filter-look without making your skin feel tight or dry.

Tarte Double Duty BEauty Easy On The Eyes Clay Liner

This highly-pigmented, waterproof clay liner from Tarte Cosmetics comes in a variety of fun shades so you can partake in the colorful eyeliner trend without having to worrying about your eye makeup smearing all over the place.

ILIA Liquid Light Serum Highlighter

If you're a liquid highlighter lover, this clean, gel-based illuminator from ILIA is about to be your new fave. It will give you a dewy, luminous glow, while also nourishing your skin like a serum.

Drybar Detox Clear Invisible Dry Shampoo

If you have dark hair or are not a fan of white, powdery residue left behind from dry shampoo, you need to get your paws on Drybar's newest offering. It's the same amazing formula as its beloved oil-absorbing Detox Dry Shampoo, but clear.

Noto Botanics

Clean beauty lovers: Noto Botanics' Multi-Benne stain is a must-have for your makeup bag. Not only can it be used to add a pop of color on your eyes, lips, or cheeks, it can also soothe, hydrate, and brighten your skin at the same time.

OUAI After Sun Body Soother

Summer is coming, which means lots of time spent under the sun. Soothe and cool your skin down with OUAI's newest launch, an icy foam made with aloe, cucumber extract, and rosehip oil. It'll calm and hydrate your skin, while also making you smell delicious.

Jouer Cosmetics’ Soft Focus Hydrate + Set Powder

If you have dry skin or prefer a dewy finish, you might steer clear from powders, but Jouer's new setting and finishing powder promises it won't dry out your skin or matte out your luminous glow.

UZ Eye Opening Liner

This is not any ordinary color eyeliner, folks. This formula is made using the most advanced Japanese waterproof technology, meaning this product will last all day, through water, sweat, tears, or humidity. What's more, it's also easy to remove and can be taken off with warm water. I don't know how it works, but it works.

Cover FX Monochromatic Bronzer Duo

Who doesn't love a compact makeup goodie, especially when it's as gorgeous as Cover FX's new bronzer and highlighter duo. It includes a matte and a shimmer shade, so you can create a multidimensional look together, or use them individually.

Lord Jones Royal Oil

CBD lovers who know Lord Jones for its calming gum drops and soothing body lotion will be excited about the brand's newest launch: a multi-purpose CBD oil that can be used as a tincture (to be absorbed until your tongue), a topical (to be applied onto your skin), or as a beverage booster (to be added to your water or drinks). It's made with broad spectrum CBD oil and grape seed oil, and is meant to promote a "calm sense of well-being." Sounds like something we could all use a little bit of!
