Even though it's April, winter refuses to quit (at least in NYC). So I'm finding solace in sourcing the best new beauty products that scream, "spring." And they're so good I know I'll use them all the way through summer.

There's a fragrance that instantly transports you to a warmer climate, a retro foundation case that looks like it belongs in your beach bag and a punchy nail polish shade to brighten anyone's mood.

So forget that it's cold and raining outside, and go shop for the best new beauty products launching in April 2014. It's retail therapy -- and you'll be completely prepared when spring finally does arrive.

Almost every makeup remover on Earth irritates my eyes -- especially when the makeup in question is a smoky eye or involves waterproof mascara. This one from Klorane is different: It's made with soothing organic cornflower water that actually reduces puffiness instead of causing it. It can take off just about any eye makeup in a couple of swipes, and I love the cooling gel texture.

This chic foundation case looks like something Raquel Welch would have tossed in her beach bag circa 1973. The retro colors and pattern totally won me over -- it's the perfect way to transport your Shiseido Sun Protection Compact Foundation, $27, which has ideal-for-spring/summer SPF 36.

Sure, sheer nail polish is a huge trend for spring, but you don't want to be a conformist all the time -- am I right? If you're itching to wear something a little more daring, I recommend this intense green shade from Butter London's Lolly Brights collection. Maybe try some subtle nail art while you're at it.

While I love hair oils, one drop too many and my fine hair turns into a limp mess. Leave it to Kérastase to formulate an oil that's perfect for less-thick hair types. It's made with white flower oil for shine and frizz control and pomegranate extract for UV protection.
