5 beauty products you need to add to your kit right now

Looking to update your beauty kits this month?

From a perfume that will see you through date night—and after, to the latest in skincare releases that pack in more than your average tube. Plus, we know the struggle to find a good, long-wearing nude lipstick, so we've got your back.

Flip through the gallery for the five beauty products on our radar.

If you’ve had your skin burnt with glycolic peels, you’ll find fresh hope in the Kiehl’s Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate, which uses quinoa husk extract for a radiant complexion.

Inspired by the legendary seductress Cleopatra’s first rendezvous with Marc Anthony —and the rose pink petals that surrounded them—the Rose Goldea is a true tribute to the flower. The fragrance starts off with fresh notes of pomegranate and rose petal essence and moves into a heady mix of Damask rose absolute and jasmine. You know it’s going to last the night when it leaves you with a blend of rich musk, sandalwood milk and white incense.

The L’Oréal Paris UV Perfect City Resist 8 doesn’t just give you protection from the sun and pollution, but also from water loss and dark spots. Win-win! 

Trust in the Maybelline New York Superstay 24Hr Color Lipstick in Forever Chest Nut to last through your entire lunch meeting—even the oily salad dressing won’t make it budge.

Probably the lightest sunscreen, The Body Shop Skin Defence Multi Protection Essence, is charged with red algae and vitamin C to brighten your face.
