The Best New Beauty Buys For March

These silky gel pencils can create both thin and thick lines, with a texture that’s so easy to build up and work with. They’re also designed with sensitive eyes in mind, so you never get any irritation or redness. The shade ‘Night Blue’ is a moody alternative to black, while ‘Jungle’ is perfect for an evening out – gold with just enough shimmer, it subtly enhances all eye colours.

This might be designed with babies in mind, but we can’t get enough of the soft, powdery scent. Think of spring and the smell of fresh, clean clothes – that’s exactly what’s inside this jar. Notes of jasmine, rose, bergamot and white musk come together to create a fragrance that’s soothing, nostalgic and comforting.

This is one of the best cuticle products we’ve tried in a while. Full of hydrating ingredients like chamomile and shea butter, just a small amount is enough to soften ragged skin immediately and alleviate feelings of dryness. Apply it as you would nail polish, focusing on the areas that need it most. Great if you’re fed up of sticky oils – the milk texture absorbs fast and doesn’t cause any greasiness.

Gel socks are having a moment, but we haven’t found any that rival these ones from Kitsch. Designed to hydrate and soften cracked heels, simply leave them on overnight on top of your favourite body butter or foot cream to wake up to softer-looking feet. The gel lining locks in moisture and ensures proper absorption of product. The pads feel so cooling and soft, and you can reuse them as many times as you like.

Thick and buttery, this is everything you’d want from a cleansing balm. As you massage it onto damp skin, it transforms into a silky oil that dissolves all make-up – even stubborn waterproof formulas. As it does so, it keeps hydration locked in with grapeseed oil and vitamin E. It’s also been designed to soothe inflammation so, unlike with some cleansers, you won’t ever find your skin feels tight or dry afterwards. We love how glow-y this left our skin.

Hair mousses are enjoying a renaissance and this one has become our go-to. Just scrunch it into damp hair and blast it with a hairdryer to distribute it evenly. The result – once dry – is fuller, bouncier hair that feels weightless, just like it does after a professional blow-dry. The volume lasts for days and there’s none of that tell-tale greasiness that comes with some hair styling products. Just be sure to give it a good shake before you use it.

Studies show a scalp massage can promote better hair growth and health, and this tool from Aveda is guaranteed to give you a helping hand. The flexible bristles are designed to massage your scalp and boost blood flow, working best when your hair is dry (so you don’t snag or pull it when it’s wet). Regular use will also lift away any dirt and build-up on your scalp.

A new spin on spring fragrance, this fresh and zesty scent has a musky quality to it that balances out the sweetness. It’s a bit like Byredo’s Sundazed but with a slightly fresher dry down. It also comes in a travel size – great for chucking in your handbag.

This cream blush from Milani is definitely worth picking up. Not only is it affordable, the liquid texture is so easy to blend and layer. Plus, the staying power is impressive. Rich in pigment, you’ll find it stays on the skin for hours with a dewy glow that leaves you looking healthy and fresh. There are plenty of shades to choose from, but our first choice would be ‘Pink Flirt’.
