These Are The Best New Beauty Buys Of The Month To Help Ease You Into Spring

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'As an avid Dior fan, I couldn't resist trying out the Dior Le Baume, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Firstly, it's compact size and eye-catching 'Logomania' pattern make it a standout in my collection. But beyond the chic exterior, the cream itself is a winner. I primarily use it as a balm for my lips and hands, and it delivers on hydration and nourishment, thanks to its 95% natural-origin ingredients. Plus, the mild fragrance is just right for me – not overpowering, but still lovely.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'Jumping on the JBCO bandwagon was the best thing I ever did for my hair, and this gel is just another gem in the lineup. Even though I'm not rocking curls, this stuff is amazing for taming those pesky baby hairs or crafting sleek buns. Plus, can we talk about the scent? It's like a sweet slice of cake in a bottle.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'Alright, so I've got my holy grail concealers (looking at you, Too Faced and Nars), but Saie's Slip Tint might be taking the spot. The formula is super creamy and with 25 shades to choose from, you're going to find your colour match (with zero to no work). Plus, the coverage is buildable, leaving my skin looking flawless without feeling heavy.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'Shopping a Penhaligon's hand cream might be the savviest way to tap into this gorgeous perfume. You get the fragrance and extra product. The formula is made with a rich blend of oils to help nourish dry skin and aid collagen production.The addictive smell of the halfeti rose and jasmine will have this stored in your bag every day.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'I'm not one to fall for TikTok trends, but these blushes had me at hello. Even on my deeper skin tone, the Sway shade gives me this gorgeous, lit-from-within glow. I'm saving these babies for those low-key makeup days when I want to look effortlessly radiant.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'I'm a total gloss addict, and this one's got me hooked. It's thick, it's luscious, and the colour payoff is insane. And yeah, I probably don't need to reapply, but let's be real, the taste and smell are just too good to resist. Oh, and the applicator? It's like a magic wand for your lips.'

Renee Washington Digital Fashion & Beauty Assistant: 'Despite its compact and lightweight design, this hair dryer packs a powerful punch with its efficient airflow mechanism, which delivers fast drying without compromising on results. One feature I particularly love is the cooling skin feature, which provides a refreshing sensation during and after drying, leaving my skin feeling rejuvenated. The innovative nanoe™ MOISTURE+ and Mineral technology, leaves my hair feels incredibly soft and moisturised after every use, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the health of my hair too.'

Verity Clark Acting Health & Beauty Director: 'Glossy, glassy hair is the current buzzword in beauty. I mean, who doesn’t want super shiny locks? Redken have been leading the glossolution for over 40 years with their in-salon services. Now, they’ve brought the tech to your own shower with a new range that is designed to boost lackluster lengths. This clever range doesn’t just coat the hair with shine but helps return the hair’s pH to a healthier state - crucial for lustrous locks. It’s designed for coloured hair in particular but as someone who doesn’t dye my hair I’ve been using this treatment once a week and am mightily impressed with how soft and silky my hair is. The best part? It takes just three minutes. Swish.'

Verity Clark Acting Health & Beauty Director: 'Beauty and fashion collaborations are nothing new but these days it's rare that one causes an industry wide stir. When the colab in question is between beauty behemoth Estee Lauder and one of India’s most famed designers, Sabyasachi, people start talking. These limited edition lippies have been selling out fast. Why? For a start, they are beautiful. Have you ever owned a lipstick embossed with a tiger? I hadn’t, until now. Plus, they are plated with 24 Karat gold and finished with the iconic Sabyasachi Tiger medallion. A true collectors item. The ten matte lipsticks cover all the most covetable shades, from rich vibrant reds and warm spicy cinnamon. Run, don’t walk.'

Verity Clark Acting Health & Beauty Director: 'If you buy into having a skincare wardrobe like I do, then now is the perfect time to swap rich textures for something lighter. Heavy-duty hydration in a lightweight formulation is hard to come by but the Sisleya L’Integral Anti-Age Fresh Gel Cream ticks both boxes with aplomb. Eye-wateringly expensive yes, but the 50 active ingredients packed inside – and the juicy complexion they give -  go some way to justifying the price.'

Verity Clark Acting Health & Beauty Director:'Jumbo bronzers have become something of a cult item in beauty circles and Armani’s Luminious Silk Sunlit Creamy Bronzing Powder has jumped straight to the top of my wish list. There’s the subtlest hint of shimmer – glitterphobes fear not - for a healthy sunkissed glow. And, the pros tell me you can use it to sculpt, highlight, contour and wear as an eyeshadow. Because, bigger is always better, right?'

Rachael Martin Beauty Editor: 'Few things could spark such delight in me as a new candle – especially when said candle is Diptyque. Enter their new Cherry Blossom scented number, a limited edition sure to sell-out. Fleur de Cerisier is sweet and floral, meshing fruity notes with delicate musk. The gold standard of home scenting, IMO.'

Rachael Martin Beauty Editor: 'Hate the feel of a sticky, gradual tan? Me too, which is why I’m waxing lyrical about this latest launch from Isle of Paradise. Formulated with skin-beautifying hyaluronic acid, you’ll be left with a beautifully even, nourished golden glow. Plus, it’s dermatologist approved making it ideal for more sensitive skin types. Summer, bottled.'

Rachael Martin Beauty Editor: 'Pigmentation products are having a moment right now, but not all are made equal. Take Dr Tina Meder’s newest launch which is already causing something of a frenzy among beauty journalists. Designed to efficiently target dark spots, pregnancy mask, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, just a small amount smoothed into the skin makes a marked difference in a short space of time – there’s tranexamic acid and a clever concoction of pre and probiotics to thank for that.'

Rachael Martin Beauty Editor: 'The perfect balm meets lipstick does exist - and this YSL beauty lipstick is proof. I first tried this one at the YSL Beauty Loveshine pop-up in Paris and I was seriously impressed. Expect a luxurious, jelly like texture that coats lips with a wash of balmy colour, and a plumper, fuller pout with minimal effort. And if it's good enough for Dua Lipa...'

Sameeha Shaik Beauty Writer: 'I’m innately drawn to anything backed by ayurvedic principles thanks to its focus on potent natural ingredients and ritualism. Heritage brand Kama Ayurveda’s latest offering is a product of just that. It’s blended with 14 botanicals including saffron, sacred lotus, and Indian madder, and packs a lightweight yet powerful formula that depuffs, evens and revives the delicate under eye area.'

Sameeha Shaik Beauty Writer: 'Nothing sparks joy for me quite like oud. Its warmth is somewhat an addiction at this point – I use it as a fragrance, burn it with incense sticks and now I’m using it in diffuser form thanks to Brûler’s latest collection. The line up of six blends includes Bergamot & Oud, which blends rich, warm Arabian Oud accord with citrus bergamot for a fresh and modern twist.'

Sameeha Shaik Beauty Writer: 'Following the success of Gisou’s viral Honey Infused Lip Oil, comes three new fruity iterations, as requested by its community of loyal customers. Loaded with Mirsalehi honey, jojoba and meadowfoam, they pack lasting hydration and ultra-non-sticky shine. I’ve taken to Watermelon Sugar, arguably the most visually alluring of the bunch, which boasts a delicate clear pinky shimmer which I have to stop myself from over applying.'

Rachael Martin Junior Beauty Editor: 'For a sheer, warm wash of colour Ruby Hammer's creamy blush is where it's at. Although highly pigmented, it blends like a dream leaving behind a beautiful radiance that doesn't feel OTT. I'll also apply to my lips for a matchy-matchy flush.'
