I’ve been sharing my monthly favorites nearly every month for the past 10+ years but only on video (IG, Tiktok, YouTube). I’ve never shared my favorites in a blog post but thought I would begin doing so in case you ever miss my monthly favorites video. These are all my favorite, most worn and most enjoyed products from the month. I love putting these lists together and sharing the best of the best with all of you! Here are my favorites from the month of April 2026.
My April 2026 Favorites
This is the perfect spring workwear sweater. You can style it for the office but I have been styling it with casual looks too. Such a great fit and overall classic style.
I love everything OneSkin does so I knew I would adore this new lip launch. And I was right! But I didn’t just adore it – it immediately became a monthly favorite. The color is the perfect neutral everyday pink that I can wear with any makeup look. It feels nourishing with no tackiness (and no weird sunscreen scent).
This is a new-to-me brand that I discovered recently. It’s a body care brand focused on utilizing skincare ingredients to treat and nourish the skin. The brand was founded by a dermatologist so the formulations all have a skincare approach to body care. This body wash feels so silky smooth that I wasn’t sure it was a gel at first. LOL The scent is amazing leaving just a hint of it after my shower. It lathers up perfectly without stripping the skin.
I’m not someone that is normally into fragrance but I have been testing so many new-to-me brands with unique scents. Maybe I was just getting bored with what I had because all these new perfumes have awakened an interest I never had before. With notes of fig milk, vanilla orchid, magnolia, warm cotton and coconut cream, this is a soft floral vanilla that feels creamy rather than too sweet.
I am a HUGE gummy candy lover so I have been dying to try this Swedish candy brand I’ve seen all over social media. They sent two different bags to try and I am HOOKED! There are so many fun flavors and shapes that come in each bag – truly some of the best candy I’ve ever tried.
Pressed powders keep getting better and better. I am not someone who likes to use any powder because it doesn’t look great on my mature skin. This is one of the few exceptions that truly works for mature skin and it’s concerns. It’s blurring, helps to slightly mattify but still leaves a soft luminous finish to the skin.
I’ve been keeping all my daily makeup in this toiletry case. It fits everything and looks so chic.
I only wash my hair 3x/week so on the days that I don’t wash it, I needed a heat protectant to use on dry hair. This was recommended to me by my hair stylist so I ordered it during the Sephora sale. It’s absolutely amazing though it took me a few tries to figure out how best to use. Because my hair is so thin, I spray it into my hands and then onto my hair so I can control how much I apply. Only two sprays is needed for my entire head but it really protects my hair. It leaves it looking shiny and my curls seem to last longer.
Most of the eyeshadow colors I gravitate towards are champagne or rosy in tone, but I wanted something more in the cool taupe family. This shade was absolutely perfect and applies beautifully.
I didn’t realize that I was a fig lover until this month when two of my favorite fragrances both happen to contain fig! This is a hair/body mist which is perfect for the summer but doesn’t last as long as traditional perfumes. Even though it isn’t as long lasting, the scent is amazing. A fruity floral with notes of fig, pear and peony that smells light and airy.
Three fragrances made it into my favorites this month which is definitely rare for me! I already fell in love with NOYZ’s scent Only Human a few months ago and am equally obsessed with this new launch. It’s a fresh, clean musk scent with notes of guava, pear, cherry blossom, sandalwood and vanilla bean.
There has been so much buzz surrounding this new sunscreen from Tatcha. After testing it for more than a month, I can confirm the hype is warranted. This is one of the most beautiful sunscreen formulas I’ve tried in a long time. It feels like a nourishing hydrating serum rather than a traditional sunscreen. It wears beautifully under makeup and leaves a fresh radiant glow to the skin. A must try for mature skin!!!
These sandals check all the boxes for me as the perfect spring/summer heeled sandal. Casual enough to dress down but embellished enough to dress up for special occasions. Neutral so they look great with any outfit and a low, walkable heel.
My middle school self is so happy jellies are back but glad they are more comfortable than they were years ago! LOL I’ve worn these walking around all day and my feet did not hurt once. I went with this bright coral shade for summer but they also come in neutral shades as well.
This was a purchase made during the recent Sephora sale. It’s the first product I’ve tried from Violette_FR but it definitely won’t be the last! This is a gorgeous hydrating lip stain as the name suggests that hydrates and leaves a gorgeous subtle shine to the lips. The color I chose is a bright raspberry that looks great alone or layered under another gloss.
Another purchase made during the Sephora sale from a brand I have not tried before. These are an intensely pigmented glossy lip lacquer that looked too good to pass up. LOL I ordered a bright pink (no surprise there) and immediately fell in love with it. The formula can be a bit messy so only apply a small amount because it can get too thick and goopy if you apply too much. But I’ve been wearing it over the Violette_FR lip stain and it’s become my new favorite lip combo!
