8 New Beauty Products to Upgrade Your February
-
Triple Threat
Summer Fridays R + R Mask, $52 at Sephora
Studded with little rose petal flecks, this decadent treatment is a scrub, a mask and a moisturizing oil all in one. Rub in the grainy mixture, leave it to sit for 10 minutes, remove it with a cloth and then work the leftover oil into your skin. Your complexion will be softer, brighter and oh-so happy.
-
Feminine Fragrance
Miu Miu Twist Eau de Parfum, $97 at Sephora
This gorgeous, flirty blend starts out fresh and sparking with bergamot and apple blossom. Hours later, when you smell it on your skin, it has transformed into something warm, sweet and sexy thanks to cedarwood and sugary pink amber.
-
Gray Matters
Essie Nail Polish in Toned Down, $9 at Ulta Beauty
This creamy, dreamy bluish gray polish is cool and edgy, but still muted enough for everyday wear.
-
Mega Moisturizer
Dove DermaSeries Overnight Face Cream, $14.99 at Target
If you have super dry skin (and we're talking major flakes or even conditions like eczema and psoriasis), meet your new winter moisturizer. Gentle enough for sensitive complexions, the glycerin and shea butter blend works to hydrate and soften while you sleep.
-
Blush O Matic
Revlon PhotoReady Instant Cheek Maker, $11.99 at Ulta Beauty
This nifty blush-highlighter duo is perfect for the contouring challenged among us. Just hold it against your cheek, swipe and blend. Perfect placement, no YouTuber skills required.
-
Travel-Ready Body Wash
Nest Grapefruit & Verbena Water Activated Foaming Cleansing Towelettes, $24 at Ulta Beauty
TSA-friendly and so smart for travel or the gym, these individually wrapped cotton wipes may come dry, but hidden inside there's a deliciously-scented citrus body wash. Just add water to release it.
-
True Blue
Dior Diorshow On Stage Liner in 241 Matte Pastel Blue, $30.50 at Dior
Not for the faint of heart (but definitely for the very, very fashionable), this limited-edition liquid liner comes in the most beautiful robin's egg blue and makes a sharp, graphic line — and quite the statement.
-
Must-Have Conditioner
Fekkai Technician Color Care Instant Conditioning Spray Mask, $19.99 at Fekkai
Just the thing for fine hair, this in-shower deep conditioning mask is an aerosol spray, not a heavy cream. For softer hair that isn't weighed down, spritz on the grapeseed oil blend, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse.
