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 Khalid Al Ameri and Salama Mohamed are together 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 scented candle of dreams, these are the best new beauty products to stock up on this month. You’re welcome.
HERMÈS
Name something more luxurious than bathing with Hermès. Nope? Thought not. And now the luxurious Le Bain Hermès collection boasts not one, not two, but eight sumptuous scents that linger on skin long after they’ve gently cleansed and moisturised it. All housed in chic refillable glass bottles, of course. Perfect for a summer shower, I’m particularly obsessed with the ‘Un Jardin à Cythère’ body wash and lotion. With its citrus woody notes inspired by the untouched Grecian island of Kythira, it transports me to the Mediterranean, all without leaving my bathroom.

Winged liner? Feline flick? This liquid liner from Mina Sheikhly has become my new secret weapon. The ultra-fine felt tip is like an artist’s brush, letting me create precise lines with total control. Plus, the formula is a dream – it’s super black and pigmented, so it never looks washed out. It’s water-resistant and smudge-proof, so I can conquer the day without worrying about touch-ups. Perfect now the humidity is through the roof. The best part? It’s easily removed, so none of that endless scrubbing malarky.
La Prairie
My new travel must-have is La Prairie’s Skin Caviar The Mist. This luxurious spritz is packed with caviar essence and over 300 natural ingredients to give skin a serious hydration and energy boost – no matter how long your flight or how hot you get. It feels so refreshing and instantly quenches any dryness while forming an invisible shield that locks in moisture all day long. No more tight, dull skin after a long journey – just a radiant, revitalised glow that keeps you looking and feeling fresh whatever life throws your way.
Living Proof
My hair of dreams? Big, bouncy Victoria’s Secret Angel waves. My reality? The finest, latest hair known to man. Until now, that is. Living Proof’s Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray isn’t your average hairspray – it’s a stylist in a can. A few spritzes instantly transforms my hair, adding volume and texture that feels natural, not stiff. It builds amazing body, giving me that coveted “lived-in” look without the effort. Plus, it protects locks from heat styling up to 210°C, so I can create salon-worthy volume without worry. Seriously, this spray is a game-changer for anyone who wants effortless, textured hair that lasts all day. Alessandra, eat your heart out.
Vegamour
Speaking of my quest for thick, luscious locks, the Vegamour GRO Hair Serum has been a total game-changer. Its all-natural, vegan formula is packed with plant-based phyto-actives, including mung bean, curcumin and red clover, to help promote thicker, fuller, longer hair and prevent hair fall. It’s also not greasy at all, which is a major win when you have fine, flat hair. Simply massage into your scalp daily and let it work its mane-boosting magic,
Charlotte Tilbury
Summer calls for easy, on-the-go quick fixes and makeup that’s light and natural, which is why I love Charlotte Tilbury’s new Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint. It’s the secret to lit-from-within skin in a stick, gliding on so smoothly to give you that perfect amount of coverage – like a real-life ring light for your face. Plus, it’s infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, so it hydrates skin while making it look flawless. It’s no wonder they call it the “no-foundation foundation” – it gives you that gorgeous, soft-focus glow without feeling cakey. And the best part? The more I wear it, the better my skin looks, all thanks to a cocktail of powerful skincare ingredients. Talk about a win-win.
Guerlain
This luxurious SPF 50 fluid is your complexion’s new best friend. The lightweight, tinted formula feels like a breath of fresh air on your skin while offering superior protection against harsh UV rays (including long UVA rays). Guerlain’s innovative technology acts like a second skin, shielding you from sun damage while promoting a youthful radiance. Enriched with honey, this daily essential leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and naturally glowy. This is sun protection that pampers.
Milk Makeup
Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Set & Refresh Spray is a game-changer. This vegan two-in-one spray is like a magic potion for makeup. Simply shake it up and let the blue and green phases combine into a lightweight mist that sets makeup for hours. It’s also infused with all sorts of good stuff – hyaluronic acid keeps skin hydrated, aloe soothes any irritation and the cannabis seed extract gives a dewy, glass-like glow. Whether I use it to set my makeup in the morning or give it a midday refresh, this spray keeps me looking and feeling my best all day long. No more touch-ups, just flawless, glowy skin that lasts, even in the heat and humidity.
Laura Mercier
If you’re looking for long-lasting makeup that feels as good as it looks, Laura Mercier’s Pure Canvas Blurring Primer is for you. Formulated with skincare ingredients, it smooths and refines your texture over time, minimising pores for a naturally perfected canvas. Makeup stays vibrant and fresh for a whopping 16 hours, with imperfections blurred by a soft-focus effect. Shine control keeps you matte all day thanks to a unique blend of rose extracts, silica beads and red clover flower extract. This primer nourishes, protects and minimises pores, leaving you with a flawless base for your makeup to shine.
HUDA BEAUTY
Huda Kattan has done it again. Yes, she’s gone and created yet another makeup must-have, this time in the form of a luscious liquid blush. Giving you an instant sun-kissed look with just a swipe, its silky formula blends flawlessly, leaving a buildable, demi-matte finish that flatters every skin tone. Available in an array of cool, neutral and warm shades (I particularly love the coral hue – gorge with a tan), you can find your perfect match for a natural flush or a glamorous pop of colour. Long-lasting and richly pigmented, a little goes a long way, letting you create a custom glow that lasts from sunrise to sunset.
