The Best New Beauty Products Glamour Editors Tried in March
Welcome to Stuff We Want, our comprehensive roundup of the best new beauty products we tried each month. From undisputed favorites to brand-new releases, these are the things our editors loved throughout the month of March.
Spring is officially here, and the best new beauty products of the month prove that Glamour editors are embracing the (slightly) warmer weather with open arms—and glowing, shimmering faces. From body and face glitter to bold bronzer and luscious lip-plumping gloss, it's clear that the vibe for spring 2023 is “more is more,” which means having fun and expressing yourself with all kinds of gorgeous glam.
That's not to say we're abandoning skin care, of course: Our editors are simultaneously curating collections of clarifying clay masks, deluxe double-cleansing balms, luxuriously lightweight face serums, and tinted moisturizers with SPF. So whether you're spending spring break on the couch catching up on Vanderpump Rules indoors or in the Sahara tent at Coachella, we've got you (and your faces) covered.
Ahead, the best new beauty products Glamour editors tried in March.

Half Magic Glitter Puck
Euphoria makeup, but make it everyday glam. Half Magic Beauty's versatile glitter “puck” is the perfect shade of champagne peach shimmer, with a creamy consistency that works beautifully on the eyes, face, and body; I use my fingers to apply it on my eyes, blend it with highlighter on my cheeks, and sprinkle some on my décolletage for extra oomph. But the best part is the formula. It delivers a pigmented and high-shine punch that lasts all day long without caking or settling in dry patches or under-eye creases. —Danielle Sinay, associate beauty editor

Pat McGrath Skin Fetish: Divine Bronzer
I'm a huge fan of McGrath's blush, so it's only right that I'm obsessed with her new bronzer. I have pitted acne scars on the sides of my face and I've found that most complexion products tend to accentuate my skin texture. McGrath's products always gives me this really diffused and soft-focus look, due to the blurring agents in the formula, which makes my skin appear smoother. My shade, Bronze Nirvana, creates a just-came-back-from-vacation glow that I'm obsessed with. I'm more than ready for summer, and this bronzer is making me even more impatient. —Ariana Yaptangco, senior beauty editor

Rōz Hair The Foundation Duo
I've been loyal to a specific shampoo and conditioner duo for a few years now, but when I met celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak for the launch of her shampoo and conditioner duo, I knew in my heart of hearts that I had finally found a worthy replacement. We have similar thick, long hair which is all I needed to know to be convinced, but here's a little more on the formulas: They're packed with effective natural ingredients—coconut, ginger root, frankincense, grape, and walnut—that cleanse, condition, and add back in shine. And ahh, the scents—they're delicious without being overpowering. I've been using the set (in conjuction with Rōz's Santa Lucia styling oil) for a few weeks now and my hair has truly never looked better. —Talia Abbas, senior commerce editor

The Outset Clarifying Clay Mask
This gorgeous blue clay mask from The Outset truly rights all wrongs, from texture and congestion to redness and dullness. The inclusion of glycerin prevents that tight, dried-out feeling I despise. And unlike many clay masks, this one emulsifies and washes away cleanly with zero effort. —Hanna Lustig, staff writer

DedCool Hand + Body Lotion 01 "Taunt"
There’s nothing better than having your signature scent turned into lotion, especially when that lotion smells and feels absolutely amazing. Luxuriously moisturizing yet lightweight and fast-absorbent, DedCool's lotion has a creamy consistency with a subtle scent that lingers just enough for me to enjoy. I've been rubbing it into my hands and elbows at my desk all day, and my second bottle has already earned a well-deserved spot on my bed stand. —D.S.

Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Healthy Glow Foundation
I'm really picky about my foundation, because if you don't use the right shade or formula, the rest of your makeup application suffers. I knew Guerlain's newest launch would be good, but I had no idea just how obsessed with it I would be. It's a liquid-to-powder formula that really does last all day and offers medium coverage, which is the sweet spot. It evens out any dark spots or acne scars, goes on seamlessly, and leaves me with a beautiful glow. Argan oil is the secret weapon here, so my skin never gets too dry or matte-looking, and with 30 shades, you're destined to find your perfect match. 10/10 can't recommend enough. —Jessica Radloff, senior West Coast editor

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand
I had been using the illuminating formula for a few months before this one was released and loved it, but I have to say the matte blush one recently stole my heart. While there's no shimmer, it has a juicy pop of color that looks like a natural, healthy flush. It also blends so easily, all it takes is a few taps of my finger. —A.N.

U Beauty The Return Eye Concentrate
Not gonna lie, for the longest time I thought eye cream was just a ploy from brands to trick you into buying more products, but once you find the one, you're hooked. The eye creams I love have a nice creamy consistency, absorb quickly, work well under makeup, and are gentle enough for my sensitive eye area. U Beauty's new formula checks off all these boxes and then some—it's packed with peptides, vitamins, humectants, and plankton extract, so my under-eye area always looks plump and bright, no matter how much beauty rest I need to catch up on. —A.Y.

Tower 28 Beauty Sculptino Soft Matte Cream Contour + Bronzer
Have you ever been afraid to try a product for fear you won't use it right—or that it won't look good on you—so you just give up altogether? That's how I felt about this bronze contour cream, which I was almost positive I would mess up. Turns out you can't, and I am annoyed it took me this long to try. Or maybe it just took a formula like Tower 28's, which melts into the skin and doesn't require you to have a degree in cosmetology. I tap my contour brush into the pigment, then swirl it into the plastic lid, and start dabbing and blending along my cheekbones and jawline. Everything looks more sculpted without looking like I spent an hour trying to map out my face with a paint-by-numbers kit. I love it so much, it's got a permanent place in my makeup routine. —J.R.

Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Hydration Serum
Formulated with hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, lavender flower water, and root of light, Kjaer Weis's new serum hydrates, soothes, and protects the skin while locking in moisture and preventing water evaporation. Translation? It gives my complexion a glowing and radiant finish while my skin feels soft, moisturized, and supple—all without clogging my pores, breaking me out, or irritating my (very finicky) skin. Lightweight and gentle, this serum also layers well with other products and makeup, making it a staple in my year-round routine. —D.S.

Chantecaille Wild Meadows Blush
I look so forward to Chantecaille's seasonal collections, not only because I know everything is going to be gorgeous, but because the products become instant staples. Its newest blush—in a soft pink or a vivid raspberry—provides a silky, lightweight color that is super buildable and blendable, depending on how much of a statement I want to make. Unlike other powder blushes, this one never settles into my pores, and maintains its vibrancy all day. —J.R.

Crown Affair Finishing Gel
Crown Affair can do no wrong, and the By Women-approved brand's newest hairstyling product proves it. Initially skeptical to try a “finishing gel” since my hair is so oily, I'm pleased to report that it's so lightweight it doesn't weigh hair down or leave any residue. What it does do, however, is combat frizz and flyaways and help smooth, polish, and moisturize the hair. No blow-dry is complete without it. —D.S.

By Far Daydream of a Splash Perfume Set
With more frequent trips to the office and social gatherings as we thaw from winter, I’ve been on the hunt for a small-but-mighty perfume to take with me on the go. Enter: The widely loved accessories brand, By Far, with its new perfume bag charms in tow. Daydream of a Splash, my favorite scent in the collection, is rich and earthy, with notes of cactus, jasmine, and sandalwood. —Allie Folino, art director

Lawless Forget the Filler Lip-Plumping Line-Smoothing Tinted Lip Balm
Good luck picking just one color here, because they're all gorgeous and pretty much universal. Plus, as the weather warms up, I like to swap out my traditional hydrating lipsticks for a more carefree balm, and this one does the trick. It's incredibly hydrating and plumping without that stingy feeling, thanks in large part to shea butter, rosa canina fruit oil, and jojoba seed oil. And even after I drink my coffee or eat breakfast, the color remains, and my lips still feel like a soft pillow. —J.R.

Furtuna Skin Cleansing Oil Balm
I love wearing a full face of makeup, but don’t love taking it all off at the end of the day. Or at least I didn’t until I found Furtuna’s Skin Cleansing Oil Balm. Formulated with olive oil and olive leaf water, this triple texture olive oil-balm cleanser acts as a double cleanser in one step and gently melts away makeup, dirt, and debris while increasing moisture in the complexion. The end result? Clean, soft, and supple skin. Your nighttime routine will thank you. —D.S.

Shani Darden Skin Care Hydration Peptide Cream
I've struggled with finding a moisturizer that won't contest my skin. This face cream is amazing as the final step in my skincare routine, especially on days where I'm feeling extra dry. It quenches the skin upon contact, but doesn't feel greasy or heavy—it's like nothing is even there. The formula is so hydrating that it can keep your skin moisturized for up to 72 hours. —A.N.

Thrive Causemetics Triple Threat Color Stick
Thrive’s new Triple Threat Color Stick has become my favorite bronzing product of all time. Combining the consistency and pigment of cream with the convenience and versatility of an easy-to-apply powder and brush, achieving the ultimate sun-kissed glow has never been easier to accomplish—or looked better. This multipurpose stick has earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag. —D.S.

Bumble and Bumble Bond-Building Repair Oil Serum
As someone with the worst of all hair worlds (a super oily scalp and very dry ends), finding hair oils and serums that adequately hydrate without weighing my hair down or making it greasy has been…a challenge. Fortunately, Bumble & Bumble’s new Bond-Building Repair Oil Serum does just that, helping to reduce frizz and breakage while detangling, mending split ends, and protecting hair from heat. I apply this to my ends overnight before bed (and have been using it as a heat-protectant before styling) and my hair has never been so silky and smooth. —D.S.

European Wax Center Spring Travel Kit
These ingrown patches are absolutely genius. Although I exfoliate, and take great care of my skin, my bikini area isn't immune to ingrown hairs. These patches work to draw out the follicle and heal the area all in one shot. Plus, this kit comes with this cute travel pouch to bring them along on trips. —A.N.
