Our favorite product releases this week: Chipolo, Star Wars, Tarte and more
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 the launch of a new Chipolo item finder, a spring-ready Tarte cherry lip balm, the latest Star Wars apparel collection and more. More colorful than ever and more useful There's a new contender for the best Bluetooth tracker. Chipolo just launched its newest way to keep tabs on your keys with its Pop tracker. The accessory is just like an Apple AirTag or any of the other item finders on the market, but with a fresh pop of color that sets itself apart from the competition. There are six styles to choose from, each of which includes some pretty robust tracking tech. So, if you were worried this was going to be one of those form over function launches, think again. The Chipolo Pop has a larger Bluetooth range than the company's previous trackers and packs that into a design with improved water and dust resistance. It is compatible with both Apple's Find My system and Google's tracking network, you'll just have to configure one or the other when setting it up. Still, that means you don't have to worry about choosing the correct version that works with your devices. Those adjustments do mean the price is going up, but just by $1 to the MSRP of $29. Bring a fresh pop of color to your spring makeup routine A fresh cherry shade just hit every lip combo possible at Tarte, starting at $27. No matter if you prefer a lip plumper, oil or balm, the brand's hit moisturizing maracuja line comes in the limited-edition Cherry Crush, which features a blend of warm vanilla, tart cherry and sweet cream flavors. Since deals editor Jacqueline Saguin got the Tarte Cherry Crush Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm in Cherry Crush, it hasn't left her side. She loves its smooth, nourishing consistency and sheer, glossy pigment. Most lip products irritate the eczema on her face, but in the weeks she's owned hers, the Tarte Juicy Lip Balm has proved to be an exception. Your favorite sandals just got a jelly makeover This new Tkees x collaboration is simply the best. It's setting the standard for summer footwear and we're stoked that this classic t-strap silhouette is drenched in three on-trend colors. Tkees has made minimalist and lightweight shoes for years since launching its hero flip flop in 2009. It's no surprise that almost two decades later the barely there sandal company would team up with a retail giant like Tkees Mariana has been reimagined in a Sunbleached Coral, Vintage Red and Mallorca Mirage, which are all $90. They have a squishy leather insole and rubber outsole for easy walking and a plastic jelly strap reminiscent of the 90s. A baseball jersey from a galaxy far, far away? Sign me up The 2025 Major League Baseball season kicked off a few weeks back, and Disney is ready to celebrate. The official Disney Store has launched one of its first new Star Wars collections of the year, and it's merging America's favorite pastime with some icy vibes from a galaxy far, far away. The highlight of the collection are these new Star Wars baseball jerseys. They imagine a different take on 'The Empire Strikes Back' where the Rebel Alliance had a bit more free time on their hands while camping out on the snowy planet of Hoth. A final act of the film where Luke Skywalker tried to strikeout Darth Vader with a Force-assisted curveball may not have been quite as entertaining as the father and son's lightsaber battle on Cloud City. But thanks to these jerseys, Rikka Altland can still imagine it anyway. She loves this kind of dorky apparel and will definitely be picking up one of these $75 jerseys for herself. Outfit your seaside vacations with luxury designs St. Regis and Staud, two brands that scream luxury, came together in the ultimate leisure collab. Inspired by a stay at a St. Regis resort, Staud designed an accessory capsule of raffia materials, reinventing bestsellers like the Tommy Bag with a beaded beach scene. The 4-piece collection launched at the St. Regis e-boutique and Staud. If your travel plans this year include beach spots in Greece, France, Italy and beyond, these raffia beach totes, bucket hats and purses fit right in, starting at $195. Tanning your face safely has never been easier As the years go by, many of us are stepping away from tanning beds, lying out in the sun, or are avoiding the rays entirely. Luckily, Allies of Skin just dropped its Sunless Tan that goes on similar to your daily tinted moisturizer or SPF. It's a 3-in-1 sunscreen that's packed with ingredients like vitamin C, green tea leaf and chamomile flower extract to keep your skin nourished with a healthy glow. The formula is buildable, has UVA and UVB protection and even helps with skin texture issues. Its anti-inflammatory properties will keep your skin and makeup looking fresh for hours without irritation that typically comes from self-tanning products. It can make a great gift for the mother in your life for their big day and retails for $59 on the brand's site. Bose sound backed by a unique rugged case This week, Skullcandy took the wraps off its newest collection of headphones and earbuds. While many of the latest audio products won't be launching until later this year, the flagship product is already up for grabs. The new Skullcandy Method 360 ANC Earbuds are available for purchase and excite with one of the most unique designs Altland has seen in a pair of buds. The Method 360 are the company's first earbuds to feature a chip made by Bose. That gives these earbuds far better sound than previous releases from Skullcandy. Altland has been a fan of the brand for years, and has been using these for the past few days. She can stand by that claim of better-sounding audio, and also loves the unique clip-on case that's far different than what you'll find from the likes of Apple, Beats or Sony. The best part? Skullcandy Method 360 ANC Earbuds are launching with a reduced price. Amazon has them for $100 for a limited time before they rise to the usual $130 MSRP. A sweet-smelling scent that lingers Mix sugar, spice and everything nice, and you get the latest concoction from one of our favorite fragrance brands. Just in time for spring, this Boy Smells perfume called Sugar Baby was born into the floral scent family. It features sweet-smelling honeysuckle, grapefruit and waterlily notes balanced by warm musk and sugar. We also appreciate that it comes in a cute, glossy, pink glass that makes a great addition to your existing collection. If you want to give it a sniff without totally committing, you can snag a 10 mL size for $30, then upgrade to the 50 mL for $78. Breathable underwear for 24/7 comfort this spring Bras and underwear should always be comfortable, especially as we dip into those warmer months where you'll want undergarments that will keep you sweat and stink-free. Tommy John decided to treat us this week to its Signature Cotton Collection launch, which includes cooling trunks, thongs and bralettes and more for all genders. Although this is a new release, some of the pieces are available at a discount with the brand's Hop To It Sale for Easter weekend. Its bralette and bikini set is down to $32 and all of the brand's multipacks are 30% off. This week also saw the launch of other products our editors deemed worthy of standalone coverage.

Tarte And Tru Fru Collab On Limited Edition Cherry Crossover Launch
Tarte x tru fru Cherry Crush bundle Photo courtesy of Tarte Cosmetics Pucker up! Tarte Cosmetics is launching more maracuja... with a cherry on top. Yes, the beauty brand is tapping into the fruity, of-the-moment trend by partnering with popular fruity frozen snack brand Tru Fru for a first-of-its-kind launch. The limited edition Tarte x Tru Fru collab includes a bundle of six Maracuja Juicy Lips in an exclusive Cherry Crush shade and scent. Additionally, specialty branded frozen snacks will be available in the same flavor, with cherries dipped in dark and white chocolate. Declaring 2025 as 'officially cherry coded,' Maureen Kelly, founder & CEO of Tarte Cosmetics, calls the collab a no-brainer. 'The intersection of food and beauty is just too delicious to ignore,' she says. 'Your lips deserve to look and smell as good as they feel. Juicy, indulgent and good-for-you ingredients—what more could you want?" Kelly is definitely onto something, as 'cherry' has been hashtagged in 1.1 million TikTok videos, leaving the app flooded with bag charms, makeup looks and fragrances devoted to the 'cherry aesthetic.' And according to the 2025 Pinterest Palette report, 'cherry red' is among the five unique colors shaping the year, with searches for 'cherry vibe' increased by 325%, 'cherry martini' +80% and 'cherry outfit' +150%. The partnership announcement also dropped on the same day Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin announced its Sweet Cherriez Collection launch—a limited-edition beauty selection for lips and cheeks in the cherry shade du jour. Tarte x Tru Fru Cherry Crush Tarte Cherries collab Photo courtesy of Tarte Cosmetics Tarte's limited, soft red-hued bundle includes each best-selling formula: plump, balm, vinyl, shimmer glass, melt mask and lip oil. Those who purchase from the presale link will also receive a phone case holder and custom Cherry Crush baseball hat. Not only is the limited drop only $50 (a $200 value), but to tack onto exclusivity, the partnering brands are offering an experiential component to the purchase. Consumers will receive the same PR box as their favorite influencers, giving fans an opportunity to create their own unique social media moment. The exclusive signup begins April 3. On April 11, Tarte's website will sell the new maracuja selection. Then, on May 4, fans can purchase 'Tarte cherries' from Tru Fru at Target while supplies last. The specialty lip product won't be available in store, but each Tru Fru bag will include a QR code for a bounceback to Tarte's website to shop for 20% off. 'At Tru Fru, we believe fruit and chocolate are 'better together' by creating those small everyday moments of happiness we all deserve,' says Tru Fru CEO Harvey Millar, of the Tarte x Tru Fru collab. 'One of our best kept secrets is our Frozen Cherry—and with cherries having such a major moment in pop culture, we thought, what could be 'better together' than teaming up with our friends at Tarte Cosmetics to collaborate on something bold, tarte and fun!'
