As the warmer weather approaches and the spring equinox marks a period of transition, it’s time for beauty lovers to update their routine with the latest launches and fresh innovations. From fragrances to retinol alternatives, InStyle editors have tried and recommended seven beauty picks that cannot be overlooked this month. Here are the best products we tried in March:
1. Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Matte Setting Spray: This setting spray creates a gorgeous photo finish and helps to keep makeup in place, even during the warmer months. It has all the staying power of Milk’s viral Hydro Grip, but with a subtle matte finish that is perfect for the spring and summer.
2. Tatcha The Silk Serum Wrinkle-Smoothing Retinol Alternative: This product provides all the skin-smoothing benefits of retinol without any irritation. It’s made with retinol alternative ingredients such as sea fennel, a marine botanical that helps with natural skin turnover, silk protein, and up-cycled cranberry extract that gives brighter, firmer, and plumper skin.
3. Hourglass Voyeur Eyeshadow Stick: If you’re looking for an eyeshadow that will stay put, Hourglass’s new shadow sticks are perfect for you. The cream formula is crease-resistant and packs on the color with a shimmery finish that’s loaded with pigment. It comes in seven shades, including Aurora, an olive green shade that’s especially stunning.
4. Sundays Pearl Collection L.08: Sundays just released its Pearl Collection, containing three pearlescent shades to give your nails a soft shimmer and color. One of the favorites is the iridescent white pearl shade that goes on almost like a soft silver with a glazed shine.
5. Relevant 13 Stems Eau de Parfum: Relevant Skin has quickly made its mark as a clean beauty brand to watch, and this month the line debuted its first-ever fragrance. Inspired by growth from a strong foundation, 13 Stems by Relevant smells like a garden after a summer rain, thanks to notes of French mimosa and violet leaf. It’s green, lush, and complex, always leaving you wanting more.
6. Sisley Paris Les Eaux Rêvées D’Isa Eau de Toilette: This fragrance from Sisley Paris is a warm and bright mix of mandarin, pink berries, jasmine, and green tea. It’s perfect to wear for all your spring and summer adventures.
7. Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream: This moisturizer from Tatcha is perfect for giving your skin a dewy glow. It’s made with Japanese purple rice, which is a rich source of antioxidants and helps to nourish and protect the skin. It also includes hyaluronic acid and a blend of botanical extracts that leave the skin feeling soft and supple.
Overall, these top picks are perfect for welcoming the warmer weather and refreshing your beauty routine for the spring season. Try these out and add them to your collection to switch things up and keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
