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 Tay Tay’s love life history, 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 scented candle of dreams, these are the best new beauty products to stock up on this month. You’re welcome.
Lovelash
Lash serums have been getting a bit of a bad rep lately because most contain hormones and prostaglandin which can really irritate the sensitive skin around the eye area and cause redness, itchiness and even dark circles. Not what we want. That’s exactly why Hoda Kiani created LoveLash. The first UAE-born lash serum that’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free, it’s packed with all-natural, lash-loving ingredients and was developed by pharmaceutical experts to help lengthen, strengthen and thicken lashes without the nasty side effects. Even better? You can use it even if you have extensions, making it the perfect pick if you want to load lashes with love.
molton brown
When in doubt, give me a scented candle and you’ll make me very happy. If you want to score extra brownie points, make it an extra-large, limited-edition Molton Brown candle that comes housed in a chic platinum vessel (delicately hand-made by skilled ceramists, of course) complete with a rattan-inspired pattern and antique mirror-esque light-reflecting brass hue. All with a dreamy scent of zesty Seville orange, floral neroli blossom and addictive musk. Did I mention that it’s almost three times larger than the regular luxury candles? Just be warned – stocks are limited, and I’m getting my hands on as many as I can. So move. Fast.
DYSON
Smooth, straight, shiny hair, natural volume, no frizz or flyaways, all sans hot plates, extreme heat and dulling damage? Yes, it’s possible, all thanks to Dyson’s clever ‘Airstrait’ straightener. Using powerful, controlled airflow that smooths locks, it dries and styles wet hair in seconds (perfect when time is of the essence) while imparting healthy, radiant shine. Just the ticket as summer’s heat and humidity start to kick in…
SIMIHAZE
If I could only use one makeup product for the rest of my life, it would be bronzer. I use it everywhere. To contour my face, in my cut crease to define my eyes, dusted across my collarbones to add a touch of tan. You get the gist. That being said, I’m very fussy when it comes to bronzers, so when one comes along that has me hooked from the off, it says a lot. This all-in-one balm is the secret to a natural, sun-kissed glow with just a swipe. Its hydrating cream-to-powder formula melts into skin, leaving a silky-soft finish akin to a long weekend in the Maldives. Dream.
vegamour
Speaking of saving your strands, if there was ever a time to invest in a hair hero that tames frizz and flyaways without weighing locks down, it’s now. I’ve always been wary of hair oils (I have the flattest, limpest hair known to man), but this lightweight offering from Vegamour shuns silicones and instead uses marula, vitamin C and chia seed oils to strengthen, smooth and boost shine whilst sealing split ends and strengthening locks. All without weighing hair down. Its watery texture is super fast-absorbing, and a little goes a very long way.
Charlotte Tilbury
These glistening droplets hold the power to transform your beauty routine whilst effortlessly blurring the line between skincare and makeup. The next best thing to bottling a vacation, they drench skin with a sunlit radiance that will have people assuming you’ve just returned from a tropical paradise. Powered by hydrating powerhouses and tan-enhancing molecules, they’re completely customisable and buildable, meaning you can mix them with your skincare for a subtle radiance boost or a full-on bronze tan. Perfect as the forecast shows more rain around the corner…
guerlain
Clogged pores, uneven texture, dark spots… oh the joys of living in heat and humidity. But this essence tackles everything with a double dose of innovation. First, there’s the ‘Dynamic Blackbee Repair’ technology that uses four different types of honey and an exclusive royal jelly to supercharge the skin’s natural repair process. Then there’s the brightening concentrate packed with white honey, vitamin C and AHA to tighten pores, smooth out bumps and fade pesky dark spots. Plus, it’s made of 93% natural ingredients, so I feel good about what I’m putting on my face. As time goes on my skin looks younger, smoother and more radiant. Sold.
