As Shopping Writers We Hear About Tons Of New Drops Every Day – Here Are The Ones We Thought Were Worth Your Attention For March

Spring IS all about newness after all...

1. It's time to start saving for your fave beauty bits, 'cause Sephora are *finally* opening their store in Westfield London this month!

Sephora

"The store, set to open on the 8th of March, will feature Sephora's iconic black and white striped decor (*squeals*) and give you a chance to finally try their exclusive brands IRL – including GVXE by Gwen Stefani, ILIA, MILK, ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starr, Makeup by Mario, and of course the SEPHORA COLLECTION. If you pop by on the opening day there's a free limited edition gift bag for the first 300 customers, along with exclusive masterclasses from your fave brands throughout the week! To say I'm excited is an understatement."

Can't wait till the store opening? Shop Sephora online right here!

2. Looking for a *proper* pint this Paddy's Day? Guinness' new-to-the-UK Nitrosurge device has got your back.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I'm going to be real here: one of the first things I noticed about living in London as an Irish person was how, well, flippant so many English pubs can be about a good pour (check out @shitlondonguinness for some true horror stories). Thankfully, the brand's Nitrosurge device has annouced its UK launch to save us all. It uses ultrasonic technology to help create the perfect even, creamy pint – just clip it onto the top of an opened can and follow the instructions to create the perfect two-part pour. They've just become available in Tesco as of March 1st, so I'd sprint to your nearest store if I were you. Definitely, definitely Irish girl-approved."

– Amy Glover

Price: £25 in Tesco.

3. If you’re sick of constantly sweating in your sleep, Modibodi have just released a new super cooling sleep collection: the ModiCool range.

Modibodi

"The collection includes cooling PJs, a pillowcase, and sleep shorts. They all feature a genius sweat-wicking fabric (making them perfect for the warmer months ahead, or if your room just gets really hot at night) but not to worry – the material doesn’t feel at all like your activewear! I own the PJs myself. The classic T-shirt-and-shorts co-ord is super lightweight, soft, and flowy, the waistband on the shorts doesn’t dig in at all (something I always look for in my pyjamas), and they actually look pretty flattering when worn too!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £59 for the PJ set – it's available in UK sizes 8-26, and £16 for the pillowcase.

4. And their brilliant new All-Gender range features period-proof underwear designed for all people who menstruate.

Modibodi

"Inclusive by design, the collection features briefs, boxers, shorts, and more – so nobody has to sacrifice the comfort, convenience, and eco-friendly design of period-proof undies to compensate for their preference in underwear style!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £26 for the boxers – they're available in UK sizes 8-20 and come in different colours, and £26 for the briefs – they're available in UK sizes 8-22.

5. JSHealth's Luminous Vitamin oil has fast become my favourite skincare treat when I need to wind down in the evening.

Valeza Bakolli / Via BuzzFeed

"Formulated to target fine lines and make your skin glow, the oil contains bakuchiol (a natural antioxidant retinol alternative) along with other skin-loving ingredients like buriti and pomegranate extract. I love using it together with their gua sha tool to help improve my skin's tone and texture, promote lymphatic drainage, and just really feel like a proper pamper treat!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £37.99 for the oil and £14.99 for the gua sha – it also comes in black.

6. E.l.f.'s new O Face satin lipstick is long-wearing, super comfortable, and under a tenner!

e.l.f., Elf Beauty

"The formula is infused with lip-loving ingredients like marula oil, squalane and jojoba esters so your lips can flex into any position without drying up! It delivers a rich pigment with a satin finish, and the colour selection is a nice mix of wearable and statement-making shades."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £9 – it comes in 20 shades.

7. And if you're a fan of the TikTok-viral Power Grip primer, their new Power Grip primer +4% niacinamide looks unreal.

e.l.f.

"As its name suggests, sticky gel-based primer really helps makeup to grip to your face for long-lasting wear! It has a similar grippy texture as the original but with an added boost of hydration and a skin-smoothing effect thanks to the niacinamide – so if you want your makeup to look flawless AND last all day then look no further."

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £10 

8. You can now find timeless heritage brand Hinter + Hobart on Mountain Warehouse! I am utterly *obsessed* with their elegant-yet-practical pieces for spring.

Mountain Warehouse

"From on-trend padded gilets to waxed cotton jackets, their high-quality garms will see you through countless transitional weather seasons to come! I own a few pieces myself and feel ready to walk through blustery winds on the Scottish highlands whenever I put them on (which is exactly the level of comfort and protection I expect from my outerwear if I'm honest). I love styling the pieces over chunky layers so I sized up for more of an oversized fit, and find that the quality and attention to detail makes them really feel worth the investment!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £135 for the quilted gilet – it's available in UK sizes 6-24 and also comes in navy, and £160 for the waxed jacket – it's available in UK sizes 6-24 and also comes in green.

9. Huda Beauty have released their first ever kohl and I don't know about you, but I need it in both black and brown ASAP.

Huda Beauty

"The creamy kohl pencil glides along the eye line without any tugging or pulling to help you create the perfect eye look every time – whether it's a sleek flick or a smokey eye. Of course it's waterproof, sweat proof, and transfer proof so you won't have to worry about any unintentional smudges, and they pair perfectly with the Matte Obsessions eyeshadow palettes too!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £19 for the kohl – it comes in black and brown, and £29 for the eyeshadow palette – it comes in cool and warm colour options.

10. The Body Shop's makeup category is undergoing an impressive overhaul, with a focus on multi-tasking formulas, eco-friendly packaging, and diversifying their shade range!

The Body Shop

"My personal fave new product is this Freestyle Multi-Tasking colour which is basically a buildable pigment cream formula. It comes in loads of versatile colours which can be used on the lips, cheeks, and eyes, and leaves the skin feeling moisturised without any stickiness!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £12 – it comes in ten shades.

11. And their new Jamaican Black castor oil haircare range is specifically designed for curly, coily and wavy hair!

The Body Shop

"The hero ingredient is naturally-sourced in Jamaica and works to build and strengthen the hair! Each product in the range was co-created with a panel of those with curls and coils from all over the globe – from conception through to a rigorous testing process."

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £14 for the cleansing conditioner.

12. Speaking of lush haircare, Provoke’s new Blonde Rehab range works wonders for repairing damaged locks and is an excellent affordable dupe for a much pricier brand!

Amazon

"If you have blonde hair you probably already love Provoke’s cult-status purple shampoo offering, and their new Bond Repair System range is just as great for dyed blonde locks! It includes a shampoo, conditioner, serum, oil, and hair perfector treatment which all work together to reverse damage, strengthening the locks and rebuilding the hair's bonds from the inside out. I dyed my hair last month and was honestly shocked at how dry and brittle my strands felt, but this set helps to keep them feeling just as soft and silky as before, and without sacrificing volume and lift!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: between £5-£7.50 for each of the products.

13. Belvoir Farm have a couple of beautiful new releases for Mother’s Day – the elderflower & rose cordial and sparkling elderflower and rose pressé.

Belvoir Farm

"The bottles will make an excellent addition to a gift hamper (just look how gorgeous that packaging is!), and you can use them to whisk her up a well-deserved cocktail or mocktail. I adore elderflower cordial, and the addition of the rose flavour makes these drinks a spring-friendly alternative to the classic drink."

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £4.50 for the cordial and £3.50 for the pressé.

14. Speaking of Mother’s Day gifts, give her a proper pamper treat with Christophe Robin’s new Night Regimen duo.

Christophe Robin

"The luxe hair range includes an overnight cream and a monoï hair oil, both of which are infused with white lotus flower extract to strengthen dry, weakened lengths. Simply apply them before bed to wake up to gorgeously soft and lush-smelling locks!"

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £35 for the night recovery cream and £35 for the night recovery oil.

15. Sleek's brand new In Your Tone foundation is specifically created to look true-to-skin on a wide range of skin tones!

Boots

The foundation comes in a range of 30 shades, is a dream to blend, offers a smudge-proof finish that'll last you ALL day. And if that wasn't enough, it's currently priced at under £7.50!

Price: £7.49

16. I adore using Trilogy's new Instant Glow rosehip oil under my makeup to give my skin the luminous glow it's somewhat lacking in this dull weather.

Valeza Bakolli / Via BuzzFeed

"If you're a fan of Trilogy's original cult-status rosehip oil, you're sure to love this new glow-inducing version! Not only does it feature a lush (yet subtle) shimmer, it also includes VanilleActiv2 ™ – a new anti-ageing technology that's exclusive to Trilogy, it's extracted from vanilla beans that supports natural collagen production and helps improve skin's texture, plus it even smells like vanilla! It can be worn alone, under makeup, or even applied to the rest of your body (I love rubbing a little into my shoulders and décolleté to help kid myself that I'm in sunny Sorrento instead of gloomy London)."

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £36.50

17. Luxe French outerwear brand JOTT has officially arrived in the UK!

JOTT

"I'm a huge fan of their warm down-filled outerwear pieces, which come in any colour you could want – from neutrals to spring-friendly pastels – and are available in adults, children's, and even dog's styles! The designs are lightweight yet still super warm, and of an incredible quality (seriously, I had to double check the price tag when I felt the unbelievable softness IRL!) they're perfect for this awkward not-quite-spring weather, if you ask me."

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £196 for the reversible sherpa jacket – it's available in sizes S-XXL.

18. Sign of the Times are letting you buy preloved designer pieces at the prices they were sold at in 1976. And if you were wondering – yes, that is a HUGE discount compared to what you'd pay today!

Sign of the Times

To celebrate their 45th birthday (and International Women's Day!), Sign of the Times are selling 76 iconic items from designers including Hermes, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton at their 1976 prices! The sale launches on the 8th of March, and you can sign up right here to access it – pieces are sure to sell out fast, so I'd be quick about checking it out on the day!

19. If you're a fan of Thai food (and love to cook it at home) you'll probably love Payst's new range of dipping sauces, stir fry sauces, and curry pastes just as much as I do!

Payst

"Created by Michelin award-winning chef Sebby Holmes, the range includes 15 simple-to-use sauces and pastes designed to make fine-dining at home easier and tastier! They're all made fresh in the UK, and are completely free from preservatives and artificial ingredients. At under £6 each, they're a pretty affordable way to explore authentic Thai flavours in the comfort of your own home."

– Valeza Bakolli

Price: £4.25 for each of the curry pastes, £5.95 for the dipping sauces, and £5.49 for the stir-fry sauces.

20. Well hello there, hot cross bun-style Crosstown donuts.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"The cultishly-followed brand's vegan Easter offerings are probably among my favourites yet. Think zesty candied orange peel, soft icing, impossibly creamy cinnamon custard filling, and possibly the most delicious gently-spiced dough I've ever tried – I ate four in one sitting, and would have gone for a fifth it my flatmates hadn't gotten their hands on the box. 11/10, as always."

–Amy Glover

Price: £4.95 for a (massive) donut or £26.95+ for a box.

21. Oh, and their perfect-for-Paddy's Day Guinness and Baileys donuts are no joke either.

"Two of my biggest pet peeves are gritty fillings and stingy, almost see-through chocolate flakes, so it's a good thing Crosstown's Guinness and Baileys-infused donuts 1) contain the smoothest ganache I've eaten and 2) are covered in moreish, decadent chocolate curls. The boozy add-ons deepen the doughnuts' existing flavours rather than overpowering them – I love the malty, treacly finish Guinness adds, and the smooth, creamy Baileys addition gets an enthusiastic yes from me. Addictive."

– Amy Glover

Price: £26.95 for a box of six.

22. Okay, okay, last one – I reckon you'll secure 'favourite child' status permanently once your mum tries these Crosstown mother's day donuts. They're only available between 16th-19th March, but thankfully, you can pre-order now for the special day!

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"These vegan treats come in two flavours – a grown-up dark chocolate ganache option, and a fresh raspberry jam-filled donut with a vanilla glaze, freeze-dried raspberries, and an edible 'Happy Mother's Day' topper. The company will deliver boxes straight to your door, so you won't even have to leave your room to guarantee those sweet, sweet brownie (or donut) points (sorry)."

– Amy Glover

Price: £26.95 for six.

23. Disney's brand-new Doorables Squishalots are definitely a welcome surprise!

Very

"These enchanting tower-shaped capsules have a surprise behind every door. You can collect four, five, or six mystery figures that are as squishy as they are cute! With up to 50 well-loved Disney characters to collect, you even have a chance of finding the super rare ones including a golden Tinker Bell."

– Elizabeth Cotton

Price: £13.99 for one capsule.

24. Run, don't walk, to your local Honest Burger for their all-new, limited-edition California burger – it's only available until the 3rd of April!

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"Its two impossibly juicy smashed burger patties get hit with American mustard as they grill, and they're surrounded by American cheese, bacon, tomato, lettuce, grilled onions, and pickles – all served in a perfectly-soft bun. I couldn't get over how perfectly-balanced every bite of this burger was, and I'm still dreaming about that tangy, creamy brown butter burger sauce too. Unmissable!"

– Amy Glover

Price: £14.50 for a (massive) burger with a side.
