10 New Beauty Products to Make You Smile This April

From "liquid dust" to "green screen," these are the best new beauty products launching this month.

Painted Blush
When Glossier Cloud Paint, $18, popped up on social media during the Oscars, I immediately had to know more. Now that I got my hands on some, I can confirm it's worth the hype. Cloud Paint is a cute painter's tube of cream blush that comes in four shades ranging from berry to apricot. It goes on sheer like a wash of color, yet it lasts all day and looks great over foundation. It's exactly what I want from a cream blush.

Does-It-All Primer
Doctor-turned-skin-care-guru Barbara Sturm and celebrity makeup artist Monika Blunder teamed up to create a makeup primer that's also a killer skin care product -- and it took them two years to figure out. The end result -- The Dr. Barbara Sturm + Monika Blunder Anti-Aging Primer, $85 -- is so good it's already in a wait list situation. It's simultaneously hydrating, mattifying and glowifying, and it helps makeup look even and last all day. It's everything you could want in a primer.

Hydrating Lip Gloss
The Catrice Vitamin Lip Treatment, $4.99, is packed with vitamins E and C for hydration and antioxidant protection, has a jelly finish that's so popular right now and helps moisturize lips over time. The price is comparable to a Starbucks latte, so I nabbed all four punchy shades.

Body Gel
This spring and summer, I'm swapping my favorite body lotions for body gels. The texture is cooling and refreshing -- ideal for the warmer months -- and lightly moisturizing, which is all I really need. Bath and Body Works Coco Shea Really Refreshing Cucumber Aloe Gel, $16.50, is my current favorite because it makes me feel like I'm on vacation. It comes in a tub that's reminiscent of a coconut, and it smells like a tropical drink.

Luxury Sheet Mask
There are sheet masks, and then there's Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Brightening Radiance Sheet Mask, $285 for four. The mask is made of a special fabric that helps deliver 10 times more actives into the skin, and it fights dark spots and fine lines with orchid extract. It's also one of the only masks I know of that's been clinically tested: After four applications, dark spots disappeared by 24 percent and wrinkles by 40. So if you want to splurge on a sheet mask that really does something, this is the one to try.

If you're shopping for new beauty products this April, you're going to be impressed by the offerings. High tech ingredients, unusual formulas and fresh new makeup options abound. There's a sunblock that protects you from your iPhone, blush in a painter's tube and even cleansing oil in a deodorant stick. Spring beauty has never been this much fun -- so enjoy it!
