Another month, another slew of beauty products landing on the beauty desk. If you find keeping up with what’s hot (and what’s not) in the world of beauty as impossible as trying to keep up with whether Kendall Jenner and Joe Alwyn are a thing or not, then don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. From the worlds of makeup, skincare, haircare and beyond, I’ve rigorously put the best new products through their paces to see what really deserves pride of place on a Beauty Editor’s vanity. Hey, it’s a hard job, but someone has to do it. From luxurious skincare to hair heroes and the ultimate bronzing boost, these are the best new beauty products to stock up on this month. You’re welcome.
