Hear ye, hear ye: we have an exciting beauty announcement to make. We're thrilled to introduce Woman&Home's Vanity Edit, our weekly round-up series that underlines sought-after releases and discoveries worth the investment. In a saturated marketplace, our recommendations are standouts for their innovative features, long-lasting formulas, and versatility.
The search for premier beauty finds has evolved into a full-time profession without the cushy benefits plan. From legacy and infant brands alike, launches are circulating through the pipeline daily, all of which tout to be "the best" of their kind.
So, like the top-tier investigative journalists we are, we decided to take the load off your plate; and scour far and wide ourselves (after all, it already is our job). We've sifted through glowing brand copy, millennial-minimalist packaging, and ingredient labels to curate a useful list, which features products from both household and newer names.
These are the best beauty finds and launches of the week below.
1. *Literally* Just Launched: The Upswing Extreme Longwear Liquid Eyeliner by BITE
Your shaky hand is no match against Bite's latest crowning glory, which creates clean and crisp lines with a thin applicator: achieving a major feat that similar iterations cannot. Adorned in an ultra-sleek tube, this liquid eyeliner glides on for precise, fuss-free application; and the jet-black pigment won't bleed down, even after long-duration wear. It leverages nourishing Passionflower Extract, which prevents the formula from flaking and drying out. Plus, it's clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.
2. Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Magnet Extreme Lengthening Mascara: When Magnetic Tech Meets Beauty
Our favorite mascaras transcend beyond formula, as the latest heroes leverage unique tech to take baby hairs to greater heights. Enter the Magnet Extreme Lengthening Mascara by Benefit Cosmetics, the newest love child to join the They're Real! family. This holy grail staple delivers up to 36 hours of wear, so feel free to have an existential crisis cry - we promise, this bad boy won't run. It features a magnetically charged core, which pulls the formula up and out beyond your lash tips—the result: major lift, dimension, and added inches to your precious hairs.
3. Battle of The Greats: Milani Supercharged Brightening Undereye Tint vs. Becca Cosmetic's Under Eye Brightening Corrector
A harbinger-part-prophet of viral beauty trends, makeup artist Mikayla Jane once again introduced us to a top-performing dupe. This past week, Tik Tok's makeup corner migrated in droves to purchase Milani's new Supercharged Undereye Tint, which is argued to transfer similar results as the coveted Becca Cosmetics Under Eye Brightening Corrector. Here's a Beauty 101 lesson: both are designed to conceal pesky dark eye circles, and should be applied before concealer. Needless to say, I ordered two of each and, per usual, satiated my hankering to hoard beauty products en masse. #NoRegrets #YOLO

4. Milk Makeup Sunshine Tint allows you to glow from within
Ideal for spring and summertime wear, Milk Makeup's Sunshine Skin Tint offers lightweight coverage that's buildable and imparts a radiant, dewy finish. This silicone-free, airy option is multi-purpose, working to moisturize your complexion with natural oils and broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen. And we love how it's vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging (it arrives in a paper box instead of a plastic tube!).
5. Elevate Brows with Precision: Introducing Huda Beauty's #BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil
Huda Beauty's new #BOMBBROWS pencil leverages an uber-fine, retractable tip to define, shape, and fill to your liking, redefining what it means to have on-fleek brows. Unlike most pencils that harshen brow appearance, this option features an incredibly soft and smooth tip, thanks to a formulation blend of vitamin E, castor oil, and coconut oil. This unique medley simplifies building coverage, blending product, and covering patchy spots, so your work of art won't fade into the night.
6. Shine on with Fenty Beauty's Limited Edition Killawatt Highlighter in Moscow Mule
Here at Woman & Home, we believe that you can never have enough Fenty Beauty in your beauty repertoire. That's why we're filling our carts to the brim with Rih's limited-edition Killawatt Highlight in Moscow Mule, a shimmery rose gold-hued shade. The singer-turned-business mogul also recently lined the shelves with the Flash Nap Eye Cream, a new lightweight eye cream by Fenty Skin that's formulated to combat dark circles, fine lines, and under-eye bags.
7. Creme-to-Powder Indulgence: Estee Lauder’s Rebellious Rose Pure Color
Estée Lauder's limited-edition blush allows you to paint the apples of your cheeks in a sultry, universal rose pigment. We recommend donning your complexion with this delicacy for elevated events, date nights, happy hours, or anything that's upscale and calls for fancy attire.
8. Wipe Grime Away with Physicians Formula's New Kits: Butter Believe I'm Keeping It Safe and Rosé Take The Germs Away
During a time when personal hygiene and health-safety have never been more imperative, Physicians Formula released two handy kits to keep you protected, clean, and moisturized. These 6-piece packages include all of the necessities: 1 hand sanitizer, 1 lip mask, 1 sheet mask, 1 hand cream, 1 pair of reusable gloves, and 1 reusable face mask. Each product lends much-needed TLC, so you can unwind with relative ease.
