March has FLOWN, and just like that, we've landed in April and yes but how DID WE GET HERE.

And if you thought the beauty industry might slow down after the summer rush... not a chance. My desk has been absolutely overflowing with sparkly new launches.

The Mamamia team has been dabbing, blending and buffing our way through the latest drops (it's a tough gig, but we're dedicated like that), and we're happy to report: March's beauty releases were seriously impressive.

"Bubble launched a whole new range of cleansers for every kind of face and concern — and friends, they are GOOD. My favourite of the bunch is this milky cleanser-meets-makeup remover that easily breaks down your daily face (makeup, SPF and grime) without water." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Lifestyle Editor.

Lash Therapy 4-in-1 Makeup Pen

"For my girlies who hate holding stuff and are always on the go (guilty)! Lash Therapy's 4-in-1 Makeup Pen is LITERALLY all the products you need in one. I love super-cool packaging, and if primary school Em had this bad boy in her pencil case, she would've been unstoppable. It has an eyeliner, lip liner, eyebrow pencil and highlighter all packed into this one pen. The BEST invention." - Em Vernem, Writer and podcast host of The Spill, You Beauty & BIZ.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum, $113.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum.

"I'm a big fan of vitamin C as I'm prone to pigmentation and often use it in my morning routine to help brighten my skin. But after a skin freak-out, my face was no longer able to handle what I was using. Enter: Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum. I had used it previously and really liked the consistency and how it layered under makeup. It felt gentle on my skin but gave me the long-term results I was after. Which is why I've recently brought it back into my routine. Using it daily, I buy the 50ml bottle being better value for money. It is meant to be 62 times more effective than vitamin C and helps in correcting dark spots (sun, acne, pregnancy, age). Perfect if you have sensitive skin but want the results. At this stage, I would drink it if I could." - Valentina Todoroska, Editor-in-Chief.

Every time I wash my hands, I'm overcome with fondness for this chic-scented, floral fragrance with notes of citrus, rose, magnolia and linden blossom. The soap itself is moisturising with avocado, jojoba and rosehip oils, but also features biodegradable jojoba beads to exfoliate and keep the hands smooth.
