If you're a regular TotalBeauty.com reader, then you probably know I'm obsessed with oils. Oils for face, hair, body -- I love them all. My new favorite oil launches in April, and it's a game-changer: It's a facial cleansing oil in the form of a silky balm, and it melts on your skin to deep clean and moisturize simultaneously. A tiny amount goes a long way (which will help you get over the sticker shock), and it smells like heaven.
Tarte worked with the Aqualillies -- a synchronized swimming team -- to create this waterproof eyeliner. Can you think of a better testament than that? I certainly can't. The consistency is fantastic, this aqua color is super-pretty, and it doesn't budge -- even if you're dancing underwater all day.
Spring collections -- both beauty and fashion -- launch too early. Coral lipstick and raffia sandals do not interest me in January when I'm still bundling up in my full-length puffy coat. It's a tease. If I bought them three months ago they'd be covered in dust.
April, however, is the perfect time to shop for new products. Why? Two words: spring cleaning. Once you toss the gunky moisturizer and crusty hand cream you've been using all winter, you'll have so much room in your vanity and medicine cabinet. And all that space is just begging to be filled with the best beauty products launching this month. Plus, it's finally starting to warm up outside. You might actually use a new self-tanner or mineral sunscreen rather than hoping you'll use them.
There are so many fantastic new beauty products hitting shelves right now I had a hard time narrowing down my list. You can't go wrong with any one -- or all -- of the nine featured here. Pick them up now, and you'll be using -- and loving -- them all season.
