From Fiber Gummies to Blurring Blushes—Here are the top products that WWW Beauty Editors recommended after trying them in April.
Though we are just wrapping up April, our beauty editor minds have been focused on summer for weeks now. I probably don’t need to remind you of how dreary this winter has been. Spring has played tricks on us multiple times, and now that the warmer weather seems to be here for the long haul, luminous skin, glossy hair, and fresh makeup products are stealing the spotlight. It's only fitting that the exciting new launches we've gravitated towards this month embody warmth, featuring everything from a shimmering scented body oil to a self-tanning milk that blends seamlessly, along with a designer fragrance reminiscent of a holiday on the Amalfi Coast. My fellow beauty editors and I tirelessly sift through the latest arrivals to identify which products are truly worth your hard-earned money, so I asked the team to share three (no more, no less) that they consider essentials. Given the overwhelming number of products on our desks, when we introduce a new item into our already cluttered routines, you can bet it’s a standout. Below, I showcase our top 15 picks from April.
Alyssa Brascia, Associate Beauty Editor
Bulgari Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial Eau de Toilette
"From the moment I first inhaled it, I have been utterly captivated by Bulgari's latest spring fragrance. It starts with a burst of sparkling lemon that smells incredibly fresh before transitioning into a delicate blend of black tea and citrus. Perhaps the best aspect is its remarkable staying power for an eau de toilette; I can still detect its heavenly aroma on my skin five hours after application. In short, it has become my spring obsession."
MAC Glow Play Cushiony Blush
"If this isn’t the prettiest blush I’ve ever tried, I don’t know what is. MAC has been on an impressive roll lately, and I can’t get enough of the beautiful new Glow Play formula, particularly in this rosy lilac shade called Totally Synced. It's almost like a ghostly kiss of color with how lightweight the formula feels, both in terms of pigmentation and texture (ideal for a no-makeup look), yet it’s completely buildable if you want to amp it up. For optimal results, pair it with a rosy-nude lip liner and MAC's Lipglass Air in Snobbish. You can thank me later."
YSL Beauty Kiss Shaper Sculpting Lip Liner
"I collect lip liners like nobody’s business, but lately I’ve been setting aside my old pencils for these stunning new ones from YSL Beauty. After my makeup was done for my birthday by YSL Beauty national makeup artist J. Brandon Correa, who introduced me to these beautiful liners, I can’t bear to be without them. Each shade is long-lasting and surprisingly transfer-proof, with hints of color remaining even after a night out or my lunch break at work. They’re impressive and absolutely stunning; I need them all."
Erin Jahns, Beauty Director
Sakara Fiber Bite
"I wholeheartedly support everything Sakara does. I’ve used their organic meal delivery service on and off for years and have tried every single snack and supplement available. (The Metabolism Bars and Metabolism Powder are still favorites even years after their launch.) I’m very selective about the supplements I take, but Sakara consistently delivers high-quality, effective products. I usually meet my daily fiber goals, but these strawberry lemonade-flavored gummies are a delightful addition, and unlike many fiber supplements, they are gentle on my system. They contain six grams of clinically studied GOFOS prebiotic fiber and are plant-based, sugar-free, and made with organic colors and flavors."
Phlur Beach Skin Shimmering Body Oil
"It’s not even May yet, and I’m already getting my summer beauty lineup ready. No summer routine feels complete without a shimmering body oil, and while I’ve had some favorites before, Phlur's newly launched formula tops them all. The scent is dreamy and beachy (naturally), with a perfect combination of coconut, citrus, and sandalwood. It provides a sunlit shimmer that is noticeable but not overly sparkly—an essential distinction in my opinion!"
Cyklar Self-Tanning Milky Essence
"Those who know me understand that I try a new self-tanning product every week. From mists to mousses to lotions, I’ve tested nearly every formulation from various brands across all price ranges, and I’m picky! Given my fair skin, it’s easy for products to fail my high standards. However, Cyklar is now one of my favorite brands in the industry, so I was eager to try their new Self-Tanning Milky Essence. To get to the point, I’m impressed! The ingredients are excellent, and the formula smoothly spreads and blends into the skin. While I usually prefer mousse, this product has successfully earned a spot in my top picks."
