As lighter, longer days approach, heralding the start of spring, there’s no better time to have a spring clean of your beauty routine. To help you do so, Citizen Femme’s beauty director, Becki Murray, rounds up the best March beauty launches this year.
From the nail-reviving treatment that I now can’t live without, to the latest makeup essentials to fill up your makeup bag, these are the best March beauty launches to be using – and loving – right now.
After an ill-fated attempt to remove my gel manicure by myself at home (hint: don't do it), my nails were in desparate need of TLC. I've never been more pleased to try this miracle reviver. In under a week (applying twice a day), I saw a noticeable difference in the strength, smoothness and hydration of my nails, and will continue to use it as a weekly rehab treatment.
These Dolce & Gabbana brushes are probably the softest that I have ever felt – in fact applying your makeup with them feels like a total treat. The vegan bristles also make a smooth finish simple (whether you are applying foundation, blush or eyeshadow) and the gold handles are just as luxurious.
This was one of the original bodycare products I fell head over heels for – and I am so excited that it is back! The quickest way I know to turn your bathroom into a spa experience, the bath honey is like a bubble bath on steroids, with a dreamy almond and coconut aroma and nourishing ingredients that will leave your skin as soft as a baby post-soak.
Refy has done it again. This is going to be the lip pencil you consistently reach for this March. Why? Because it instantly, in a single application, defines and enhances your lips and you don't even need to follow it up with lipstick afterwards, as the pigment is just as lovely applied all over your pout.
As we creep into spring, you might (like me) unfortunately have some lingering side effects of the wintry weather – namely super dry, irritated skin. That's where this clever oil quickly comes in handy. It uses ceramides (a key component in your skin's protective barrier) to hydrate and smooth your skin, with clinically proven results after just one use.
Take this spray with you on your next flight – it is an instant refreshing wake-up call for your face. Designed specifically to deliver a burst of weightless hydration to dull skin, it contains (alongside hero hydrator hyaluronic acid) antioxidant-rich botanicals to protect your skin from irritation on-the-go too.
A touch of shimmer can immediately brighten tired-looking eyes (and looks great in the sunshine too). So, this limited edition highly pigmented palette from Nars was straight into my makeup bag, with its nine on-trend shades of purples, rosy and silver shades a total delight.
Did you know that the secret to really great volume for your lashes is all in the wand? Benefit does. The custom-engineered brush has fiber bristles and fine tooth combs to separate, define and 'fluff up' your lashes for an even bigger impact. (And the nourishing ingredient-rich formula means no flaking too).
Already dreaming of a summer escape after all the cold weather? I certainly am, but did manage to get a bit of my fix with this totally moreish scent from Jo Malone London. With its creamy coconut water and tonka bean – mixing with the sparkle of fresh lime and mint – it's basically fragrance sunshine.
Lightweight skin tints with hefty hydrating skin benefits are going nowhere for spring 2025 – and this one looks set to be a holiday must-pack. Mac knows how to create flattering hues that blend into your skin – to blur away blemishes and even skin tone without looking like you are wearing any makeup. And the glow you achieve is so flattering.
This silky smooth eye crayon is perfect for quick yet effective eye-defining looks (the sort that have been dominating the red carpet during award season). The long-lasting, highly pigmented shades blend easily along your lash lines – thanks to the clever slanted tip – and can be built from an understated wash of colour to something really impactful and smoky.
You know that feeling when you walk into someone's home and think 'wow, that smells amazing' – these new diffusers all but guarantee that feedback. Whether you prefer fruity and fresh scents or something more rich and warm, the luxurious home fragrances are also incredibly giftable. And, quick reminder, Mother's Day is coming up!
What I love most about this cleanser is that it gives your skin a really deep clean, but without leaving it tight or dry. In fact, colloidal oatmeal (an absolute hero for sensitive skin) is on hand to soothe your complexion so your skin feels pampered as you remove even waterproof makeup.
