There are a ton of great products that drop every week — and we’re here, as always, to keep you up to date on the best of them. Each week, we’ll be rounding up a short list of our favorite product drops from the last seven days for you to shop as you sip your morning coffee or take a quick break from work (trust, it’s the only list you need for staying up to date on these things).
This week brings Reformation’s new swim collection, K18’s high-tech dry shampoo and Burrow’s new standing desk (which our reviewer loved). Shop our favorite new releases below, but be fast — they’re prone to selling out.
Bala 3-Pound Bangles
A heavier version of the bestselling weights
Bala’s sold more than 2 million sets of its weighted bangles for wrist or ankles, and now they’ve just gotten a weight class upgrade with the introduction of the 3-pound version, available now as a pair for $70. They Velcro onto your limbs to add a little extra challenge to the moves you’re already doing, like your planned workout or even cleaning (this writer got sweaty using her lighter pairs while packing and unpacking during a move).
Oribe Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray
A heat protector — and softener — for dry hair
Finding heat protectors that work on dry hair is a whole different game than those that assume you only style your hair when it’s still just toweled off, but Oribe’s latest launch, the Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray, is here for our second- (and, uh, third-) day hair. The $46 dry spray protects your hair against styling tools and keeps it soft, too — sort of a thermal protector and dry conditioner in one.
Athleta Heron Blue
A cool blue to start spring workouts
Athleta’s had some great color drops recently, and the latest one is a cool robin’s egg blue that’s perfect for kicking off spring workouts. It comes in the Transcend line’s barely-there-feeling $55 cropped bra, $59 bra tank and $89 leggings, and there’s also a $45 cotton tee in the fit, so no matter where your workout takes you this spring, you’ll come through looking great.
Reformation Swim
All-new swimwear from the sustainable brand
Reformation’s stylish and sustainable selection of clothing just got a new department: swim — and we’re here for the vintage summer vibes. The collection starts at $78, and you can expect retro high-waist bikini bottoms and darted tops, polka-dot and cut-out one-pieces and more beach-to-bar vibes. It’s not the first time the brand ventured into swimwear: The initial attempt in 2019 wasn’t sustainable enough, per the company, so things have been in R&D until this drop. Some pieces are made with the leftover regenerated nylon fabric from the first collection; others use a renewable non-synthetic fabric called EVO by Fulgar.
K18 AirWash
An all-new dry shampoo, courtesy of science
K18’s high-science line of hair products is loved for its efficacy and performance, and now the brand just dropped an all-new version of one particularly tricky product to get right: dry shampoo. Even better, it comes in nonaerosol form and doesn’t show any traces with white cast or buildup. It uses a patented new molecule called odorBIND, which can recognize and eliminate odors — and stay working for up to three days after one spritz. Join the waitlist online now for a launch early next week.
Away Sea Green Suitcases
The start of all-new weekly color drops
If you’re on the hunt for another suitcase to add to your travel arsenal, you’d do well check out Away’s great luggage right now. The rightfully famous suitcase company is releasing new colors every week now through April 9, and this week has seen the launch of a sea green that’s both punchy and calming. It’s available in the company’s full lineup of luggage, from the $275 Carry-On up to the $435 Trunk checked bag.
Olaplex BrowBond Building Serum
For overplucked brows
If you’re looking to add length and volume to your eyebrows, Olaplex’s Browbond Building Serum has just launched after two and a half years of R&D. The $68 product, inspired by Olaplex’s lash serum, promises fuller and denser eyebrows in four weeks (while acting as a gel for your everyday brow looks). A ton of Olaplex’s proprietary ingredients are at work here, including Peptide Complex Technology and Bond Building Technology, plus a peptide that helps reduce the appearance of new grays and keep the hairs that are already in place looking lush.
Beautiful by Drew Wheeled Kitchen Cart
Plus a new colorway proves mushrooms are having a moment
Beautiful by Drew’s home line just got a few new additions, courtesy of one great new colorway that taps into the fungi trend of the moment, and a new kitchen cart launch for adding a little more storage and worktop to your kitchen. The wheeled kitchen cart, $368 at Walmart, features two lower shelves, brass rails for hooks, hangers for stemmed glasses and a butcher-block worktop for a little extra counter space. Meanwhile, Porcini Taupe is making an appearance as the new colorway in the line, with the shade available in everything from air fryers to toasters.
Hoka x End. Clothing
Buzzy sneakers meet U.K. streetwear cool
Hoka’s famously chunky sneakers have a new look, courtesy of a collab with British streetwear label, End. Clothing. Two different hiking styles, the $220 Hoka x End. Kaha Low GTX and the $175 Hoka x End. Mafate Speed 2, have gotten makeovers inspired by off-road adventure travel. Think cactus green, khaki and rugged patterning on the uppers. Both styles are all-gender and come with grippy Vibram soles, but shop fast, since some sizes have already sold out.
Moon Smile Perfector Teeth-Whitening Duo
A new wand for whitening
Kendall-Jenner-backed Moon Oral Beauty line is full of ways to give your smile a glow up via whitening, toothbrushes and way more. The latest drop is the $40 The Smile Perfector Duo, a dual-ended wand. One holds the Moon Platinum Advanced Teeth Whitening Formula, while the other has a Lip Brightener that uses blue mica to sort of cancel out yellow shades on your teeth, so you can give both parts of your smile the star treatment.
Burrow Copilot Standing Desk
When “standing room only” is a good thing
Burrow just launched a new standing desk that’s made to be both beautiful and functional, thanks to a durable water- and scratch-resistant finish in your choice of smooth walnut or trending oak. It can raise from 28.5 inches to 48 inches, so you can choose between sitting or standing as the day demands. Since the desk’s prelaunch in 2022, the company has made a few improvements to the design: all the cords go in one compartment (it accommodates a power strip too) and the interiors were tweaked to maximize organizational potential. We called it “incredibly functional” in our in-depth review. It’s $999 and no additional tools are needed for assembly.
Joanna Gaines x Loloi
Elegant additions to any room
Joanna Gaines of “Fixer Upper” fame has just dropped a new collection of elegant rugs and throw pillows with Loloi, and it’s available to shop at a ton of retailers, including Amazon, Wayfair and other nationwide retailers. The collection features a lot of vintage-inspired patterns and the new neutrals of the moment: lattes, beiges and browns. One part of the collab, the Charlie Collection, is loomed from 100% recycled post-consumer polyester; others are made from 100% wool.
Glossier Body Hero Daily Perfecting Lotion and Oil Wash
Body care to start your day right
Glossier’s one to listen to its fans, and based on their wishes, the brand has gradually expanded its body care lineup, and now it’s reintroducing its Body Hero Daily Perfecting Lotion and Body Hero Daily Oil Wash, which have been reformulated for more nourishment. The oil wash nourishes your skin as you wash without stripping it of moisture (on the contrary, rather). Top it off with the $28 lotion, which absorbs fast without leaving a greasy feeling behind.
Joseph Joseph Cookware
The kitchen-tool giant dives into pots and pans
Joseph Joseph — British maker of super-organized, color-coded cutting boards and smartly designed recycling bins — is launching its first cookware collection after five years of R&D. The 14-piece range is built well enough for pro cooks to use in the kitchen (it has a 20-year guarantee, too), and it’s made with a nontoxic, nonstick ceramic coating to take care of dishes up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Brilliantly, the handles of each item swing inward, making storing them in small kitchens way, way easier, and roasting trays tuck into each other with each one still in view. Pricing starts at $99 and you can shop it at Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table and other retailers.
Herbivore Star Seed Sheer Glow Mineral SPF 30
The vegan beauty brand gets adds its first SPF
Herbivore has launched its first sunscreen, the $30 Star Seed SPF 30 Vitamin C Brightening Mineral Sunscreen, just in time for warmer weather. It comes packed with a ton of great ingredients for your skin. Of course it delivers on the full range of sun protection, but it also has antioxidants and vitamin C to fight free radicals and a little vitamin-D-boosting pebble plant stem cell to keep skin retaining water and supple. It’s made with all skin tones in mind and even naturally color-corrects to blend in.
