Better Hair While You Sleep
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Night Cap, $28, is like no other product I've ever tried. It's an incredibly light serum that you apply to dry hair before bed. You can brush it through or twist it into curls. Then, you sleep. Overnight, it infuses your hair with smoothing amino acids and Living Proof's proprietary molecule OFPMA (invented by MIT scientists), but there's no greasy residue -- it's completely invisible. The next day, your hair is shiny and smooth -- it basically looks like you got a blowout while you slept.

3-in-1 Face Cream
I've never been able to commit to using a primer. There are so many steps in my morning skin care routine (antioxidant serum, moisturizer, SPF, BB cream …) that another layer seems crazy -- even though I know a primer would make my makeup look better. Then, I found Phace Bioactive Day Cream Primer + SPF 46, $86, which combines three steps into one.

This moisturizer feels silky, sinks in fast (even with mineral SPF -- hooray!) and it creates a slightly matte finish that lasts all day. My skin used to be shiny by lunchtime, and now my makeup looks perfect until I wash it off at night. Plus, it has anti-aging niacinamide, vitamin E, lactic acid, silk proteins -- the list goes on.

Self Tanner -- Light
Jergens is known for its brilliant gradual tan body lotion. But sometimes you need just a little more bronzy goodness, amiright? That's where Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse in Light Bronze, $11.99, comes in. It's a frothy mousse that gives me a hint of a tan -- like my skin tone but better. It never streaks, and it fades gradually (without rubbing off in weird places). I like to apply it with a mitt, and even though my technique is mediocre at best, it always looks flawless.

Green Tea for Your Face
I gave up coffee about a year ago (it was torture at first, but I feel so much better for it), and I switched to green tea and matcha. Then, I discovered matcha lattes, which -- in case this trendy beverage hasn't yet made a splash at your local coffee shop -- kind of taste like warm green tea ice cream.

With the Erborian Perfect Morning BB Mask, $35, the matcha trend makes its way into skin care. Each single-size packet contains green powder that looks just like matcha -- because it is matcha … along with other skin-brightening ingredients. You dump it into your palm and sprinkle it with water to form a paste-like mask. In my dream scenario, I apply this mask while sipping a matcha latte.

Nail Polish Remover That Smells Good Enough to Eat
Nail polish remover generally smells like toxic chemicals. Now, imagine if your nail polish remover smelled like dessert. Game changer. Ciaté Choc Pot in Mint Chocolate, $8, is reminiscent of my favorite chocolate bar (brownie and peppermint crunch dark chocolate from Fairway grocery store), and it takes off polish impressively well. You dip in a fingernail, rub it around for a few seconds, and it emerges completely clean. The only downside is that using it will make you hungry.

March is a frustrating month. On paper, it's spring. In reality, it feels like the most soul-sucking part of winter. The frigid temperatures just won't quit. And that's where these new beauty products come in: They'll make you look and feel ready for sunnier days -- or spring break vacations.

There's a smoothing serum that gives you better hair while you sleep, nail polish remover that smells like a delectable dessert and a self-tanning mousse for a subtle, natural glow. These new beauty products are guaranteed to make you feel far less frustrated -- and soon enough it will be spring.
