Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Let’s be honest. It isn’t easy keeping up with all the new beauty products that are released every month. Thankfully, the ones you ought to know about come across my desk.

Last month I smoothed on globs of moisturizer, spritzed on dozens of mists, and tried hundreds of lip balms (I know tough job), to bring you a list of the best new beauty products to try.

You should know that I’m pretty hard to impress, so you can trust that these recs are worth the buy.

To see the beauty finds that made me go “wow,” scroll through the gallery

01
Nest Amalfi Lemon & Mint Scented Candle
One whiff of this irresistible scent inspired by the Amalfi Coast featuring an aromatic blend of lemon, orange bergamot, mint, and a hint of driftwood, may make you want to book a plane ticket to the destination this spring. If a Eurotrip isn’t in your budget, then use this candle to turn your home into an exhilarating escape.
