These are the best beauty products that launched this week
Overwhelmed by all the new beauty products that are out? Never fear, fellow makeup maven. HelloGiggles’ Beauty Editor, Marie Lodi, and Associate Beauty Editor, Alyssa Morin, will be rounding up all of the best launches from the week in one place — in our Beauty Bulletin! Check back at the end of each week to find out which releases we need to get our perfectly painted claws on.
1Smith & Cult Nailed Lacquers in Peaceful Paranoia, A Short Reprise, and Powder Posse, $18
Smith & Cult are one of my favorite nail polish brands. That 8-free formula is so goddamn good. *chef’s kiss*. These three new shades are hard to resist if you’re into those lilac-y shades. — Marie
2Farmacy Honey Butter Beeswax Lip Balm, $10
Now, more than ever, my lips are super chapped. So this Farmacy lip balm couldn’t have launched at a better time. I love how deeply nourishing it is, and the fact that it’s clear means I can still wear my lipstick and give it that extra bit hydration by swiping this lip balm right over. — Alyssa
3Dermalogica Calm Water Gel, $48
I got some bad news guys. It’s winter. No matter where you are (even in LA) your skin is probably DRY AF. I know mine is (and I’m an oily-faced person!) If you’re looking for a new moisturizer that isn’t too heavy, Dermalogica’s Calm Water Gel is a good one to try. It’s light, but will still bring enough hydration to your skin with its Dual Hyaluronic Acid technology. And if you want even more to help defend your skin against this weather, check out the brand’s new Barrier Defense Booster ($75). — Marie
4Skin Inc Oxy Recharge Bubble Mask, $55
I’m obsessed with this packaging! Doesn’t it look like a futuristic skin care product? But aside from the sleek silver bottle, this mask is a 3-in-1. It not only recharges your skin but it also has detoxing powers and it’s a peel and glow facial in one. So basically, this is going to be your new skin care bestie for the rest of winter. — Alyssa
5OUAI Volume Spray, $26
I’m a big fan of Jen Atkin, so any time OUAI launches something, I’m like GIVE IT 2 ME NOW. My wig is in dire need of some va-va-voom, so I’m extra excited for this one. — Marie
6Palladio Beauty 4 Ever + Ever Intense Lip Paints, $8
Just in time for our Valentine’s Day beauty wishlist, Palladio Beauty launched 2 lipstick shades that we’re ready to pucker up to. From a soft mocha (Devotion) to the perfect hot pink color (Swoon), there’s something for everyone. The best part? They’re $8. — Alyssa
7Birchbox Millennial Time Capsule, $42
Birchbox’s latest launch has everything you need to look good in your Insta Stories, such as Glamglow’s Bubblesheet Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Mask, Milk Makeup’s Liquid Strobe, a selfie stick, a mini selfie light, and more. Get ready for a ton of random selfies from yours truly. — Marie
