There may still be a few months left in the year, but we can confidently say that some of the best new launches of 2026 have already landed. From the reinvention of J.Crew’s iconic rollneck sweater to a host of drops from our favorite beauty brands, a lineup of truly game-changing products has hit the scene as of August.

You can trust our editors’ judgement — literally hundreds of new launches come across my desk in a calendar year. Multiply that by the full team at Shop TODAY, and I’d estimate that we screen, test and review thousands of products each year. In an effort to catalog the best of them, we’re compiling a running list here with the crème de la crème in shoppable fashion, home, tech, beauty and beyond.

We’ll be updating this list monthly with the very best finds throughout the year, so keep checking back. To see all of the top new launches of 2026, just keep reading.

“I didn’t think an $8 body wash from Old Navy would be as hydrating or cleansing as an option that’s three times the price, but I’m glad to be proven wrong,” admits Jess Bender. “It smoothed out notoriously rough areas that are harder to quench, like my elbows and knees with relative ease, plus it delivered the perfect lather across my entire body. The scent profile (a lovely blend of salt-kissed air, citrus, pear and a kiss of coconut) brought me back to the scents I gravitated towards in my youth, but it has the rich texture of the body washes I love now — truly the best blend of nostalgia and adulthood, really.”

“I was skeptical about this at first because I’ve tried other jelly products and didn’t like them, but this one is changing my mind,” says Kamari Stewart-Jackson. “I’ve been using the blueberry pie shade, and it’s the perfect dark neutral color for me. I have pretty long nails, so I was worried about getting products out but there’s a little applicator you can get with a silicone tip for application (that’s also super easy to clean), which has come in clutch for me.”

Zyrtec Allergen Shield Spray, Lightweight Nasal Mist, up to 200 Sprays

Vivien Moon got a sneak peek at the latest launch from Zyrtec, which is great for those with allergies looking for a drug-free treatment option. It helps relieve mild symptoms by blocking allergens before they have a chance to strike.

Summer may not technically be over until Sept. 22, but the fall beverages have officially arrived. And, honestly? We’re here for it. Alani Nu’s fan-favorite spooky sip “Witch’s Brew” is returning this season alongside a new flavor, “Ruby Apple.” Each sip has me yearning for sweater weather … but also aptly energized to tackle my to-do list.

“This feels like washing away the ocean after a sandy day at the beach,” muses Kate McCarthy of this Korean beauty brand’s body scrub. “The scent is sea salt, but to me it smells super light, with hints of flowers and citrus. Truly the best of both worlds when it comes to a body scrub: exfoliating and smells great!”

“I’m pretty picky when it comes to mascara, especially when it comes to the brush. I need my brush to grab hold of my lashes and do the work, and this one does,” attests Danielle Murphy. “It coats every single lash but doesn’t cause clumping. I also notice that some formulas will only lengthen or only thicken, but this one does both. Big fan. Ari did good.”

The celebrity-founded brands continue to impress this month. Haus Labs, a brand we have long been obsessed with for its complexion products, debuted a lip liner that strikes that just-right balance of easy to apply and blend but long-lasting and transfer-proof. I often struggle to find lip liner hues that don’t wash out or overwhelm my pale skin and dark features, but the cool-toned shades in the lineup offer the ideal my-lips-but-better and natural shadow contour colors.

Coming out of summer, our skin could use a pick-me-up. This newly launched exfoliating cleanser from Dime is an excellent starting place, as it isn’t harsh or stripping. In fact, it’s so gentle you can use it daily, with enzymes and biodegradable jojoba oil beads that get to work polishing away dead skin cells.

Danessa Myricks Beauty GlossWork 4D Ultra Shine Plumping Lip Gloss

“Everything Danessa does is a hit in my eyes, and this gloss is no different,” says Stewart-Jackson. “Color payoff is always incredible, and it actually feels good on the lips!”

Introducing your hack for a perfect lip combo. Maed’s aptly named “duet” liner features two sides: a darker, sharper contour shade paired up with a complementary “cushion” or fill-in shade, allowing you to achieve an expertly defined, colored-in pout with ease.

Each of Maed’s Duet Lip Liner Pencils features a “contour” shade on one end and a “cushion” shade on the other. This is the pencil in the color “Oath.”

Bath & Body Works Reserve Collection Lavender + Jasmine 4-Wick Candle

Candle season is nearly here! If fragrances titled along the lines of “pumpkin snickerdoodle” and “vampire blood” aren’t your speed, you’ll probably gravitate more toward Bath & Body Works’ new Reserve Collection, a lineup of refined scents and more elegant vessels aimed at blending into the surroundings of your home. This generously poured four-wick candle is my pick, as it has a pleasant and inoffensive aroma, impressive throw and will burn for up to 70 hours.

Crowned one of the best dry shampoos in our Ranked series, this non-aerosol mist has a wet-to-dry formula that’s pretty unique in the dry shampoo space. The bottle is clear, so you can see the bi-phase formula, and you should shake it before deploying a few spritzes on your roots. Once it dries, simply tussle your strands to reveal clean, residue-free roots with no white cast.

If you’ve ever cooked with garlic, fish or another pungent food and smelled the evidence on your hands for hours after, you’ll want to check out this neat kitchen soap. The brand says its hand wash, which was initially composed for Michelin-star restaurants, uses bread yeast enzymes to break down food odors. As the brand says, your hands are the most important tool in your kitchen, after all!

“Olaplex just launched their first-ever hair spray, and I have been loving it,” shares Shannon Garlin. “For starters, it smells amazing, but it also is so much more than a hairspray. Not only does it offer a flexible hold, it smooths frizz, adds subtle shine and acts as a heat and UV protectant. My hair feels and looks amazing, even on day four post-wash.”

In response to the biggest request from its customer base, Sol de Janeiro’s TikTok-viral fragrances just got an even-more-powerful upgrade. The new line of “intense” bottles amps up the staying power of three of the brand’s most popular classic mists: Cheirosa 59, Cheirosa 62 and Cheirosa 74. The purple-hued 59 is my pick heading into fall and winter, as it features warm, woody notes that feel extra cozy and truly outlast the original.

For a total scalp reset, there’s no better product than a clarifying shampoo. Celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan’s eponymous brand just launched a version that has a cooling tingle and really does provide a deep, thorough clean. McMillan’s pro tip: keep this to your scalp and let the water rinse it through the rest of your strands to cleanse without drying out your ends.

Football season kicks off (literally) in about a week, and the Shop TODAY team is outfitted for the occasion, thanks to Abercrombie’s officially licensed gear.

“I love all the unique takes on sportswear,” notes Annie Shigo of the collection. “I can’t wait to wear these during football season.”

According to the brand, the idea for this product was sparked by its own in-house laboratory bathrooms, where the brand discovered surplus vials of tangerine peel, mandarin peel and ylang ylang oils were particularly adept at reducing and masking disagreeable smells. Outside of a lab, I can confirm this effectively neutralizes unpleasant odors, without overwhelming small spaces the way sprays can or requiring the foresight to use a product before the go. Over the course of a month, I’ve used the drops regularly and have barely made a dent in the 3.4-ounce supply, so the bottle will surely last a long time.

Drunk Elephant Kamo Triple-Peptide Multi-Use Serum Foundation

In 2026, coverage isn’t enough to make a good complexion product stand out on the market — truly impactful makeup needs to pull double duty and have a lasting positive impact on your skin, too. Drunk Elephant’s first foray into the makeup space does exactly that. Its serum foundation drops are created with a peptide complex, squalane, natural oils and amino acid-coated pigments to nourish the skin while concealing imperfections. We especially like that you can mix it with your moisturizer to get a customized level of coverage perfectly tailored to your needs.

Your double cleansing routine is about to get a whole lot better. This lightweight, jelly balm improves upon makeup cleansing balms of the past with a formula that melts away cosmetics but won’t leave you with cloudy, foggy eyes at the end of your routine. As a contact lens wearer, it’s been a godsend in my nighttime routine.

“Cécred has brought their always-sold-out edge drops formula to the eyebrow and lash space,” reports Stewart-Jackson. “I’ve been using this for a few weeks now to fill in some sparse spots on my brow and am looking forward to seeing how much of a difference it’ll make by about the six-week mark. It’s super easy to apply, and I love that it doesn’t really have a scent to it.”

Figuring out how to transition your wardrobe for fall is always a bit of a puzzle. If you’re armed with good accessories, though, solving it is easy. This scarf, which is part of the quickly-selling-out August Topshop x Cara Delevingne collection, nails the summer-to-fall vibes, as it can be tied around your waist as a belt, wrapped around your shoulders as a shawl or worn around your neck with a number of ensembles. The satin-like fabric is lightweight enough to wear now, but the dark color and fringe lend it just the right hints of autumnal energy.

With a splashy, social media star-studded campaign, J.Crew’s latest launch was hard to miss. The brand’s classic rollneck got a 2026-coded makeover. The modern take has a quarter-zip collar and a slightly more cropped silhouette and comes in a range of trendy shades. The faded lilac color is on its way to me as I type, and I can’t wait to tie it around my shoulders now and layer it up heading into fall. Shigo says she’s got her eye on the piece as well, and wants to pair hers with skirts.

“Rothy’s just released a new sneaker, and they have become my new wear-everywhere shoe,” writer Emma Stessman shares. “They’re stylish, surprisingly comfortable and I get so many compliments every time I wear them.”

“If you haven’t heard of Z Supply, get ready to take some notes,” Murphy writes in a recent newsletter. “I was recently introduced to the brand after hearing about the launch of its very first foray into the denim category. With the quality and timeless look they give, these jeans offer a look and feel that more says ‘we’ve been doing this for years’ rather than a first go-around. My favorites have to be The Head Turner (appropriately named, considering the compliments I’m getting) and The Show Off (which have a cute design when you cuff them!). I paired them with two staples that also just dropped — a lacy tank and a super-soft cropped cardigan — and I have to say that my closet is off to a pretty good start for fall.”

“Finally jumping on the tomato scent [bandwagon] with this Malin + Goetz candle,” Lauren Witonsky confesses. “It literally smells like walking through a farmers’ market (I would best describe it as earthy and light) and is perfect for anyone who will soon be mourning the loss of summer produce. They just dropped a ‘super candle’ size with Carbone if you need a scent to get you through all of fall/winter.”

“I never knew this much attention to detail and design could go into a high chair, so this one being so versatile is really impressive!” expresses Moon. The new and improved version of the popular chair is meant to grow with your little one and is designed to handle any type of mess.

If you want a portable speaker that looks really, really good but sounds even better, meet your new go-to. Marshall’s Stockwell III delivers up to 40 hours of playtime (that’s about 800 songs, per the brand) on a single charge, and it does so from multiple directions on its small-but-mighty frame. Seriously, my friends and I threw a 30-person party last weekend with one of these as the sole source of sound, and the tunes were pumping loud all night long (sorry, neighbors!). A removable carrying strap makes it easy to grab and go, and I love that it can double as a power bank to charge your phone in a pinch.

“I love a good kitchen appliance so I’m so excited about this new Ninja launch,” gushes Stewart-Jackson. “The CrushBoss is a four-in-one system that’s a blender, tumbler, food processor and dicer. We cook a lot in my home and always need one or two of these functions for most meals so I’m excited to have a full-sized appliance that can handle larger batches at once instead of having to break them up into smaller batches with the mini appliances I’ve been using. Plus, I love the black and gold colorway!”

“The Shark AquaReach launched a couple of weeks ago and we’ve really been loving it,” Stewart-Jackson reports. “It’s designed for hard floors only, but it’s a 2-in-1 wet and dry vac and mop. It’s been great for cleaning up after Cleo as we’re still attempting to potty train her. My husband absolutely loves this thing and is always looking for a reason to use it. We have the version that comes with the self-cleaning base, which is a huge plus, the only thing to note there is that the self-cleaning mode can be a little loud if you’re in a smaller space like we are.”

Moon is also a fan, noting that it would make for a great present for a mom or mother-in-law.

“Oud is one of those deep, woody, ‘love it or hate it’ fragrance notes that I happen to adore,” explains Evan Siegel. “But I think even those who have previously been wary of it will be taken by Initio’s new scent, Oud For Grace. Incredibly balanced and blended, it tempers oud’s notorious funkiness with a subtly sweet praline note that transforms it into a crowd-pleaser. Perfect for date night and the upcoming fall season, this would make a great gift for a special someone (including yourself!).”

Now’s the time to start preparing for the drier months ahead, and Cetaphil’s newest launch promises to help boost skin’s moisture levels for up to 48 hours at a time. I can personally vouch for its hydrating properties, having gotten to test it out neck-to-toe ahead of launch (with the before-and-after moisture level readings to prove it!). The sensitive skin-friendly body lotion is formulated with hyaluronic acid, lipids and flaxseed oil to soothe and nourish. It’s even gotten the seal of approval from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry!

“Glossier’s Balm Dotcom is a classic, and they recently launched this New York-themed version. It’s a clear tint with a green apple scent that isn’t super overpowering and is actually pretty enjoyable,” reports Stewart-Jackson. “Even though I’m born and raised here, I can’t get enough of New York-themed things and this balm is the perfect addition to my collection. I like to keep it at my desk to reapply throughout the day.”

Grace & Stella’s popular and affordable eye masks have been a Shop TODAY bestseller for years, so we jumped at the chance to try the brand’s latest iteration, which are infused with Vitamin C. The juicy, orange-hued patches are individually wrapped, so they’re perfect for on-the-go pick-me-ups. They’ve quickly become a staple in my routine, and I swear my under-eyes actually look brighter and less puffy on early mornings after I wear these for at least 15 minutes.

Staying energized this summer just got a whole lot easier. Celsius’ highly anticipated new “Spritz Vibe” flavor launched in July in the flavor “Limoncello Twist.” Cheers!

Cleanlogic launched at Ulta in July, and we’re particularly excited about these exfoliating gloves from the inaugural line. They work with your standard body wash to slough off dead skin and are infused with collagen to support smooth, bouncy skin, per the brand.

In our book, Ilia never misses, so we’re eager to try out the brand’s latest eyeliner, which is available in 10 shimmer and matte shades. The pencil is said to glide on smoothly and blend out easily but also set and last long, so you can create eye looks ranging from tight-lined, smudged-out smoky eyes to sharp wings with one product.

“Tarte just launched this contour stick and this is a great product for someone new to contouring, or, like me, terrible at it,” jokes Garlin. “The formula applies smoothly and is easy to blend, and the thinness of the stick makes it easy to control.”

“An oldie but a goodie! It has just been redesigned with a stunning new bottle that better matches the brand’s other products,” reports Madison San Miguel. “The formula has stayed the same for those who are fans of it, including myself, so don’t expect anything new. For those who haven’t tried it yet: the leave-in is highly nourishing, offers heat protection, detangles strands, plus many other benefits. Along with the new packaging, customers can choose from three new scents!”

This is your sign to ditch your clunky iron for good. ByMatter’s innovative and effective products are saviors for lazy girls — I already swear by the brand’s Another Day Fabric Freshener and Another Step Shoe Deodorizer — so I had high hopes for the Liquid Iron Wrinkle Release Spray. Happy to report that it lives up to my expectations, melting wrinkles away with every spritz and doing so in the sleekest, coolest packaging.

The Shop TODAY Beauty Awards-winning Cult Classic cleanser from Tula just got a luxe upgrade. This fragranced formula feels and lathers identically to the original we know and love, but with a rosé-inspired fragrance that makes your daily cleanse that much more fun.

“I love the Josie Maran body butters because they’re not only hydrating and moisturizing, they also provide a lovely glow to the skin after you use them (I gave one to a friend to try for the first time the other day and the difference in skin glowiness was all she talked about for like an hour),” raves Stewart-Jackson. “This new scent is so lovely! Admittedly, I didn’t think I’d be a fan because the scent notes aren’t ones I usually gravitate toward, but I was pleasantly surprised when I actually tried a bit of it and loved how it smelled. The vanilla milk and cashmere musk notes are beautifully balanced. I love to keep the travel pouches of Josie Maran’s body butters on me, and this one will be living at my desk for the foreseeable future.”

We never knew we needed this collaboration, but now that we’ve seen it, we are utterly obsessed. Just about every member of the Shop TODAY team has picked up one of these adorable bags at this point, which makes the perfect upgrade from your boring everyday lunch box. The tiny backpack silhouette comes in three on-trend patterns and fits a sandwich or salad, chips, a cookie and a beverage with room to spare.

“I’ve been a fan of Lane Bryant’s bras and underwear for a while now. They always make comfortable stuff but with this new collection, they’re really looking to bridge the gap between comfort and style,” explains Stewart-Jackson. “This line is meant to be a little sexier but with the same feel folks know and love. I’ve gotten the opportunity to try a few pieces and am a fan! I love the rhinestoned straps on this bra that take it a step above the basic black bra.”

“I’ve been really into balconettes and think this one has a good look, is comfortable and provides the support you’d want. Plus, the little bow accents on the straps are adorable,” Stewart-Jackson continues. “These no-show hipsters are also technically part of the collection and they’re so buttery soft, I’m ready to replace the rest of my drawer with them.”

This beloved moisturizer has been reformulated and upgraded with a new, airtight pump. The gel consistency is a match made in heaven for my oily skin in the summer, and, like all of Biossance’s products, it’s made with squalane to help support the skin and boost moisture. I find that it helps soothe my redness, and the brand shares that it’s a great choice for those with eczema-prone skin, as it’s accepted by the National Eczema Association.

With this new eye serum launch, Bloomeffects’ founder Kim van Haaster told me the brand harnessed the power of black tulips, which possess the highest concentration of naturally occurring growth factors of all tulip varieties. The silky cream also packs in bakuchiol, caffeine and vitamin C to combat the look of dark circles. The metal tip is the cherry on top for me, delivering a subtle cooling experience with every application.

I know, I know… an Advent calendar in July? Just hear me out — every year, Bonne Maman’s beloved Advent Calendar is a hot commodity, frequently selling out well ahead of December. With that in mind, it’s never a bad idea to get ahead of the holiday rush and secure yours now that it has officially hit the market. As in years prior, it includes 24 mini jars filled with new limited edition spreads, in delicious flavors like “Apple-Quince-Honey” and “White Fig.”

Shigo grabbed this parka from the latest GU collection just in time for a particularly rainy streak in New York, and she sees herself wearing it well into the fall.

“I have seen Anoraks trending so much recently and I love love love this one,” Shigo gushes. “It is light so it is perfect for transitional weather.”

Free radical damage seems to be enemy No. 1 for new skin care brand Échelon, which differentiates itself from other skin care brands in that it claims to defend against environmental stressors. In addition to its damage-defending, patented formulation, this primer contains SPF 30 and acts as a makeup primer, so it does the job of multiple beauty products in one step. As it’s such a novel product, we’re certainly interested to see how it performs long-term.

Soft, comfortable and elevated, pointelle is quickly emerging as an “it” fabric, with searches hitting an all-time high this year, per Google Trends. This lightweight organic cotton top from comfort-first brand Buttercup makes a case for the material as a year-round staple, as it’s breathable enough to wear in the steamy summer months but can also be worn as a base layer when the weather cools down in fall and winter. I’m especially loving its long-sleeve cut and whimsical edge details.

“Although I have not tried it, and it’s only available for pre-order at the moment, but I think a lot of parents will be so excited about the new Toniebox Lite,” predicts Stessman. “It will definitely be a hot toy this holiday season, so it may be worth ordering now.”

“Beyond Yoga recently launched this line that they described as a ‘high-performance sweat collection.’ The line is designed for your more intense, high-impact classes,” Stewart-Jackson explains. “I got to try the set firsthand during a class at SotoMethod and was really impressed with how well it dealt with sweat. I didn’t feel like my clothes were overly wet or uncomfortable because of it. I have the strappy cropped tank and the high-waisted midi legging in green, which are so cute and I’m looking forward to wearing them again during another workout. On a simpler note, I love the range of colors offered in this line. There’s your basics, of course, but there’s also some really fun ones.”

Use this non-greasy serum once daily, and the brand claims you’ll regrow fuller-looking hair in just 90 days. In a 190-participant clinical trial, it outperformed one of the most popular hair growth ingredients on the market, Minoxidil, per the brand, with 90% of participants reporting fuller-looking hair. Multiple Shop TODAY editors have tried it and can vouch that it doesn’t feel heavy or look oily on the scalp, so it won’t disrupt your styling at all.

One of the most well-known and top-selling shoes in Hoka’s lineup, the Clifton, just got upgraded, and Shop TODAY’s resident running shoe aficionado Stessman put them to the test.

“The Clifton 11s feature that same base of compression-molded foam that bounces and absorbs shock with each step you take,” Stessman reports. “The main updates you’ll find in this new version come in the upper section. The shoes feature a re-engineered mesh that is comfortable and breathable, as well as a softer sockliner.”

“A lot of people, myself included, are super excited that Garmin is joining the screen-free wearable game,” Stessman shares. “It seems like it will be a match for the other popular options from competitors. And I’m excited to see how Garmin brings its running-focused tech to this type of wearable. Though the very best part is that there is no additional subscription fee after you purchase, which isn’t the case for many of the bands on the market right now.”

Wavytalk’s new launch just might be the only hair tool you’ll ever need. With attachments including a blowout brush, fast-drying concentrator and auto-wrap barrels, you can dry, smooth, add volume and curl, all with one tool. The thermal roller attachments really elevate the tool, helping to set your curls for bombshell-level volume and body. With similar multi-stylers from competitors costing upwards of $600, we’re especially excited at the sub-$300 price tag of this new option.

“For the first time ever, Chapstick came out with the lip tube! They’re still hydrating and nourishing like the Chapsticks you know and love but in a softer formula that has a little scent and subtle flavor,” reports Moon. “While they came out with a variety of options, I’ve found myself reaching for the vanilla flavor the most.”

For those moments when you just need a bite to tide you over, these protein-packed mini bars are perfect. Instead of other full-sized granola bars, which are often positioned as pre-workout fuel or meal replacements, these bars are the ideal size for a mid-afternoon snack. Plus, they pack in five grams of protein per bar.

“I live in an area with hard water and have to use a rinse aid in my dishwasher to keep dishes and glassware from looking spotty at the end of a clean. This new launch from Cascade does the job well,” Stewart-Jackson says. “The no-drip cap is an underrated packaging feature because I’ve used rinse aids before where they dripped everywhere and made a mess as I was pouring it into the dishwasher (and subsequently trying to close it after I was done).”

“Just in time for summer, CeraVe came out with a new moisturizer that has been easy to implement and reach for because it’s so cooling, lightweight and hydrating, which is just what my skin has been needing,” Moon says.

“As soon as I tried it, I knew it was going to be one of the beauty products my husband steals from my routine,” adds Stewart-Jackson. “Thankfully, it’s budget-friendly enough that we don’t have to worry about restocking.”

“I’m not normally a dry shampoo user — but this new launch might have just made me a convert,” claims Evan Siegel. “Not only does it feel refreshing and lightweight on my hair, but the brand also says that it contains ingredients to promote scalp health! As someone who suffers from occasional dandruff, this was definitely important to me. I also love that it’s aerosol-free and dispenses as a powder, which makes it easy to adjust just how much I use.”

“I love this bronzer,” raves Jordan Murray of Rhode’s newest bronzer. “The stick packaging, like their Pocket Blush, makes it super easy to use and it blends out like a dream. I used the shade Bake, and it adds the perfect warm-toned bronze. It really helped bring my face to life and add more dimension.”

“I was already a fan of this lip salve in the original clear (and even convinced my bestie to buy one for herself, and now she’s hooked),” says Stewart-Jackson. “The brand recently launched two new shades: Soft Life and Scotch Bonnet. I’m partial to Scotch Bonnet because it has a bit bolder of a color but the Soft Life is a perfect everyday neutral as well. It’s moisturizing, hydrating and just feels really good on the lips. Plus, I love that these lip balms all have a little hole punched into the top corner so you can throw it on your key ring and make sure you never leave the house without it.”

“As part of their Do It All Collection, It Cosmetics just launched a lip product. It’s a dual-ended liner and balm, and it’s so hydrating and long-lasting,” says Shannon Garlin. “The shades are all gorgeous and I love that they’re buildable; that way, you can choose if you want a natural or bold lip with the same product.”

Summer is the season to enjoy the outdoors, but the last place you want to be finding evidence of your beach days is in your bed. Enter: Sandbar’s roller. This innovative new launch is sort of like an extra-large sticky lint roller for your bed, designed to reach between your top sheet (or comforter, if you’re not a top sheet person) and your fitted sheet, picking up any sand, lint, debris and more that accumulate between regular bedding changes. It also works great for grabbing pet hair off of couches, blankets and more.

Centellian 24 Madeca Derma Shield Vital Airy Sun Stick Broad Spectrum SPF 50+

“I’ve been using Centellian 24 products for a bit now, and when I found out they were coming out with new sunscreens, I was thrilled,” shares Stewart-Jackson. “This sun stick is my favorite of the new lineup because it’s super easy to apply and, most importantly, doesn’t leave you feeling greasy or leave any white cast behind. I love using it to reapply throughout the day and especially to make sure my tattoos have adequate coverage so they stay in optimal condition.”

In 2026, no one’s doing setting spray like One/Size. Fresh off the launch of their “oil sucker” spray (which I tested and waxed poetic about last month), the brand has launched a bronzing spray that adds a bit of warmth and glow to your complexion while setting your makeup. The spray comes in two shades, warm-toned “Caramel Glow” and slightly cooler-toned “Cocoa Glow.” Both look pretty dark online, but I can confirm they’re sheer enough to provide a natural-looking kiss of tan even on my very pale complexion.

“I got the chance to try this new launch from PopSocket for a few weeks before it officially came out and immediately was obsessed with it,” raves Stewart-Jackson. “It’s the slimmest iteration ever created by the brand, but you don’t lose any of the sturdiness of the Pop part when you pull it out to hold it that way. It collapses super thinly so you can barely tell it’s there.”

“My favorite part is the rotating stand that you can pull out so you can watch anything you like on your phone in any rotation,” she continues. “I wouldn’t leave the house without this on my phone during the Finals because I knew I could prop my phone up anywhere with ease to watch a game.”

“This new scent set came, out and while I often prefer for my home to smell like a candle (think oud-y, woody, perfume-like scents), I’ve loved stepping out of my box with these new scents that are more light and welcoming than you’d think scents like Basil Neroli or Fresh Tomato would be,” Moon admits. “They’re just so refreshing and give my home a fresh and inviting feel, like a beautiful garden.”

I’ve never met a Tatcha product I didn’t like, and June’s matcha-inspired foaming cleanser launch is no exception. The soothing cleanser is designed for oily, acne-prone skin, so it’s a match made in heaven for me in the sweaty summer months. It whips up into a light, airy foam texture, like a good ceremonial-grade matcha that’s been whisked, lathering nicely to cleanse my skin of oils and leave it feeling fresh.

Thanks to Milk_shake’s latest collection, great hair days are in your future. After trying the whole new line out, this is the product I’d recommend to anyone who wants to strengthen their strands and reverse the appearance of damage. Per the brand, 65% of bonds can be rebuilt from just one ten-minute application.

Tarte says this “anti-foundation” is the brand’s biggest launch of the year. It’s got a unique serum-like consistency and transforms from the white hue that comes out of the bottle to match your skin tone as you blend it in. I’m generally a foundation hater, so I was eager to give this product a go, and I was very happy to discover it didn’t look cake-y or require a bunch of product — just two drops were enough to cover my whole face.

Clinique recently launched a silky sheer balm formulated for sensitive skin. It’s designed to even skin tone and reduce redness and texture, and has earned a spot in Garlin’s daily makeup routine.

“When I saw Pat McGrath was the new Creative Director of Louis Vuitton’s beauty line, I convinced myself that designer beauty might be worth the splurge,” says San Miguel. “They released her first collab fall last year, but just recently expanded the lip collection with the LV Crayon. It’s a precise, controlled and high-payoff lip pencil available in 10 versatile shades.
