Whether or not you had a Valentine's Day date, there was a whole lot to love this month—at least in the beauty space. From trendy new perfumes to spring-forward blushes, the best new beauty products of February helped ease the winter blues and breathe new life into my collection.

Fitting for the most passionate month of the year, there were plenty of buzzy new lip products including plumpers and tinted lip balms to enjoy. MC's Beauty Writer, Ariel Baker, and I had too much fun with Laneige's Glaze Craze Lip Serum, which uses a plush, innovative donut-shaped top for a mess-free application. Ariel also discovered a glossy lip balm from LYS Beauty that made her a hot-pink lip convert, while I added Sarah Creal's The Adults Are Talking tinted shades into my holy grail rotation.

However, that hardly scratches the surface of the many beauty launches that crossed our desks in February. For a complete rundown on every product the Marie Claire team tried and loved this month, keep scrolling— fair warning: You're bound to find a new favorite addition to your makeup bag.
