April showers bring much more than May flowers, apparently. This month, things are heating up both in a literal sense and in the beauty world, which means it's time to refresh your makeup bag, skincare routine, or hair holy grails with some new seasonal picks. The heavy moisturizers and wintery scents of the last few months aren't going to cut it anymore, so I've gathered the latest new beauty products the Marie Claire team is obsessed with to jumpstart your shopping list.

A fresh batch of summer fragrances just hit the shelves, so there's no better time to try a juicy, fruity perfume from Chanel or Ellis Brooklyn—or how about a tropical-scented dry shampoo from Amika? With festival season underway, you may also want to choose products that will lock in your style for hours on end. I, for one, will be wearing Stila's new color-shifting liquid eyeliner to all of my summer concert plans to withstand the heat and for its cool chameleon effect. Verb's Frizz Defense Smoothing Spray was released just in time to save my hair from inevitable poofiness on my upcoming beach vacation, too.

These are but a handful of the April beauty launches that our team couldn't stop talking about. For the full rundown on the 13 best new beauty product we tested and are now currently obsessing over, keep scrolling.
