Orebella Gardenia’s Whisper body mist

The latest launch from Bella Hadid’s fragrance brand, Orebella, is a line of hair and body mists designed for everyday spritzing. Using the same bi-phase formula as the brand’s perfumes, each features a top layer of essential oils and fine fragrance, blended with an alcohol-free base featuring skin made using botanical waters to create a lightweight mist. Available exclusively at Selfridges, choose between three scents: the fresh bouquet of Gardenia’s Whisper, the floral and fruity Nectar Dew and rich gourmand of Golden Brulee.
Fenty Beauty Shake ‘n’ Play buildable liquid blush

The colour of this liquid blush may look daunting but, as the name suggests, its lightweight formula swipes on sheer allowing you to build and contour as desired (there are also lighter shades available for paler complexions). Plus, it’s transfer- and waterproof so once you’ve perfected your look, you know it’s going to stay in place.
This Works Advanced Red Light system

The skincare benefits of LED red light therapy are well-documented – but This Works has just taken things one step further. Not only has the brand devised its own red light wrap – a flexible ‘mask’ that can be applied to practically any port of the body – it has also devised as unique Red Light Power Serum that promises to supercharge the results. A true beauty powerhouse, when used in combination the system promises to boost hair growth, reduce cellulite, firm sagging skin, improve the appearance of historic scarring and alleviate classic signs of skin aging. Can you really afford not to get one?
Her Eir period patches

If you’re looking for a more natural way to soothe the aches and pains traditionally associated with periods, the growing trend for ‘period patches’ may be just the thing. New to the market is Her Eir, a science-backed supplement brand that offer products packed with natural ingredients designed to support women at all stages of life. Its period patches release a soothing blend of CBD and terpene-rich essential oils for 24-hour relief from cramps and PMS symptoms; simply pop a fresh one on your abdomen each morning and let it do its thing.
Sweed hair serum

Founded by makeup artist Gabriella Elio, Swedish beauty brand Sweed, offers products that are designed to be high quality, easy to use and enhance, rather than mask, your natural features. When that comes to its signature hair serum that means a unique non-oily blend of biotin, peptides, keratin and pumpkin seed extract in a roll-on applicator that will leave hair, thicker, stronger and more voluminous.
Kat Burki Bio-Rejuvenating body lotion

A growing number of skincare brands are starting to take looking after your skin in its entirety as seriously as they do your complexion – and with summer on the horizon, now is the time to reap the benefits. Among this new generation of bodycare products is Kat Burki’s new Bio-Rejuvenating Body Lotion, which uses the brand’s patented BioNutrient Delivery technology to deliver ceramides, kelp extracts, and antioxidants deep into the skin to strengthening cells, boost renewal and leave skin hydrated, smooth and resilient.
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Twist and Spray refill set

Perfume travel sprays have, historically, been small enough to carry around – but that’s really where their practicality ends. Often so small as to easily get lost in your handbag, made from breakable glass and, let’s face it, far from chic, they’re not exactly status symbols. Until now. Chanel has just unveiled this elegant refillable travel version of its signature Coco Mademoiselle scent and trust me when I say you’re going to want to show it off. Designed to mirror the brand’s elegant lipsticks, and complete with a chain that means it can be worn on the wrist or as a bag charm, your daily spritz just got so much chicer.
Templespa Repose Relaxing Night Cream

In need of some beauty sleep? Allow me to introduce the Repose Relaxing Night Cream from British skincare brand Templespa. A rich, highly-nourishing formula packed with vitamins A and E, jojoba seed oil and pro-vitamin B5 to soften, hydrate and replenish the skin, it’s also enriched with a spectrum of essential oils, including chamomile, frankincense, lavender, patchouli and vetiver to promote an easy, deep slumber.
Oribe Eternal Curls deep treatment masque

If you’ve been blessed with a head of abundant natural curls, you’ll know they take some looking after – especially when it comes to hydration. Designed for curl types 2-4, meaning it’s suitable for the full spectrum of curls, from loose waves to afros, Oribe’s new Eternal Curl masque is blended with coconut and almond oils to quench thirsty locks, repair damage and make hair twice as resistant to breakage.
Grown Alchemist Resurfacing Body Cleanser

Aussie skincare brand Grown Alchemist has just launched a new series of products that takes its expertise in looking after your face and applies it to the rest of the body. Gentle enough to be used daily but effective enough to replace your body wash only a few times a week to achieve real results, the Resurfacing Body Cleanser is formulated with glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid, as well as cedarwood and lavender, to deeply cleanse and clear clogged pores, without stripping the skin’s essential oils. The result? Smooth, radiant skin, reduced keratosis pilaris and fewer blemishes.
Emma Lewisham Supernatural Creme Cleanser

Every good skincare routine begins with a cleanser – but why should this first step just be about removing impurities, rather than adding nutrients to the skin? Step in Emma Lewisham’s Supernatural Creme Cleanser. Described as a ‘reverse cleanse’, this forward-thinking product features a bevy of active ingredients designed to be ‘washed on’ to the skin, including patchouli, lichen extract, prebiotics and saccharide isomerate, to prevent stripping skin and instead strengthen the skin barrier, sooth inflammation and support the skin microbiome.
Bulgari Le Gemme Tygar Extrait

An opulent iteration of Bulgari’s popular Tygar fragrance, this pure perfume extrait takes the original scent and elevates it to its most sensational form. Named for the Indian tiger’s eye stone, Le Gemme Tygar Extrait bursts with intense grapefruit and superb ambergis accords, creating a heady citrusy wood perfume that promises to leave a lasting impression.
InnBeauty skin prep exfoliating pads

A multi-step skincare routine is all well and good but life get sint he way and some mornings you simply won’t have time for that carefully tailored 12-product regime. Which is where smart time-saving products like Innbeauty’s Skin Prep Exfoliating Pads come in. These pre-soaked pads can be simply swept over the face to deliver a healthy dose of AHAs, PHAs, glycolic acid, ectoin, squalene and peptides to leave skin hydrated, bright, even and ready for makeup.

Dior Forever Skin Glow foundation

Skincare meets makeup in Dior’s newest beauty launch: the Forever Skin Glow foundation. Featuring a formula enriched with hydrating and anti-aging hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and peptides, it promises flawless, radiant skin for 24-hours with no touch ups required.
Hermes Un Jardin Sous La Mer eau de toilette

“Just a few steps out from the shore, I discovered a whole new world – a veritable underwater garden shimmering with life and filled with dazzling colours, where dancing coral called to mind tiare flowers in the wind,” says Hermes perfumer Christine Nagel of the trip to the Polynesian island of Taha’a that inspired her latest fragrance for the house. Layered with notes of tamanu nut, oceanic minerals and exotic florals, allow it to transport you to an isand paradise.
Omorovicza Midnight Renewal

Using the same skincare routine morning and night? While there are certainly bigger mistakes your could be making for your skin health, if you’re investing in expensive products, don’t you want to make sure you’re getting the most out of them? Your skin goes thorugh different cycles throughout the day – and overnight is all about regeneration so it’s key to use a serum that supports that. Omorovicza’s new Midnight Renewal serum is formulated with retinal, microalgae, bifida, and polyglutamic acid to work in tandem with the skin’s natural circadian rhythm and tackle commons signs of aging.
Chanel Le Lift Flash eye patches

Jo Malone Enrich shower cream

There is, in my humble opinion, nothing more luxurious than an elevated version of something so everyday as shower gel or soap. After all, how can you possibly have a bad day when you leave your morning shower feeling (and smelling) like you’ve just been to the spa? Enter Jo Malone’s new Care collection; a range of daily wellness products featuring oils and ingredients inspired by Roman baths and believed to promote positive feelings. The Enrich shower cream moisturises and conditions with the warming scent of rose, camomile and cedarwood.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless blur concealer

Charlotte Tilbury promises that her new Airbrush Flawless Blur concealer will give you 24-hours of non-creasing coverage. Which is really quite the claim. But considering the formula features hyaluronic acid, squalene and the brand’s signature Powder Blur Airtech, it’s one she might just be able to back up. Plus, it comes in a mammoth 34 shades (don’t worry, the brand’s app uses AI technology to match you to your perfect hue in under a minute).
Germaine du Capuccini Smart Hydro-Regenerating Cream

If you’ve seen all the hype about exosomes – microscopic sacs that act as messengers between cells, delivering instructions for regeneration, healing and repair – but aren’t quite sure where to begin, allow me to introduce Germaine du Capuccini’s new Smart Hydro-Regenerating Cream. Alongside powerful actives, such as hyaluronic acid and PDRN (polynucleotides) for intense hydration and skin barrier strengthening, it also features the brand’s patented Tecxosome formula, which utilises the power of exosomes to ignite cell regeneration to improve skin texture, tone and elasticity.
Templespa My Kinda Skin bespoke skincare collection

A great skincare set can be the perfect gift – but there’s also nothing worse than being gifted an expensive array of products you’ll never use. Enter Templespa’s My Kinda Skin bespoke skincare collection. Unlike standard beauty gifts, this innovative set allows you to choose a cleanser, toner and moisturiser from the extensive Templespa collection, meaning you can tailor the range to your (or your recipient’s) exact skincare needs. Genius.

If you always plump for a high-shine party makeup look – but are tired of drying and bleeding lipsticks and glosses – allow me to introduce Nars’ new Afterglow Lip Oil. Offered in four hues, ranging from deep apricot tea to shimmering peachy pink, each is infused with raspberry seed oil, pomegranate extract, omegas 3 and 6, and vitamins E and A to leave lips soft, supple and nourished after even the latest night out.
Rodial Bee Venom XXL Super Serum

So beloved is Rodial’s signature Bee Venom Super Serum that the brand has heeded calls and released a new XXL bottle that’s more than three times the size of the original. Serving up 100ml of firming, smoothing and plumping bee venom melittin peptide, marine collagen, and PHAs, alongside moisturising red seaweed extract and lifting P-cell, this is exceptional value for extremely good skin.
Pers cleansing gel

A good cleanser is always a beauty must-have – but never more so than in the run-up to the festive season, when late nights, multiple makeup applications and a lapse in healthy habits can take a real toll on the skin. Available at London’s original beauty destination, John Bell & Croydon, Pers’ signature cleanser promises a vegan formula packed with natural active ingredients that fight free radicals and help combat the effects of environmental pollution.

Part of Loewe’s new Crafted collection, which celebrates the brand’s elevated-yet-playful approach to the science of perfume making, this seriosuly chic fragrance is one that you’re going to want proudly on display. Warmer on the skin than its colourless appearance would suggest, a base of tonka bean and cedarwood blends with a fresh heart of clary sage and orris, before opening out into spicy top notes of angelica seed, neroli and pepper timur. Delicious.

Chantecaille Lip Crème

It’s not often that a beauty product offers packaging that’s as much a story as the formula itself.

Skin Rocks Gel Cleanser

oIt may seem antithetical but, if you have sensitive skin, using the wrong cleanser can be a big part of the problem.

The gel-to-oil texture of Skin Rock’s newest cleanser is light, gentle and moisturising while melting into the skin to remove makeup, pollutants and impurities.

Finding the perfect tinted lip balm is a bit like searching for a needle in a haystack. So often they’re too sticky, too sheer, too shiny… you get the picture. Formulated with shea butter, murumuru butter, plant waxes and botanical extracts, Summer Fridays’ lip butter balm is a deeply nourishing, slightly glossy option that comes in shades to suit every complexion.
Ilia The Base Face Milk

A thick, nourishing cream has its time and place but, day-to-day, something light, comfortable and layerable is the moisturiser holy grail. Ilia’s new The Base Face Milk boasts a vegan, cruelty-free formula brimming with hyaluronic acid, prickly pear flower extract, microalgae and the brand’s unique barrier renewal complex to deeply hydrate and smooth the complexion.
Merit Flush Balm

‘Merit’s Flush Balm has built up quite the cult following thanks to its super-lightweight, buildable formula and sheer colour that allows you to add as a little or as much flush to your cheeks as desired. Now offered in a new Rouge hue, don’t be daunted by its scarlet shade – simply add a little at a time for a perfect rosy complexion.
Omorovicza Queen Serum

Plagued by fine lines? Allow us to introduce Omorovicza’s new Queen Serum, designed to provide the age defying properties of a retinol-style serum in a formula ideal for daytime wear under makeup. Replacing retinol with a combination of Chinese leaf extract, Mediterranean microalgae, lithops stem cells and the brand’s unique Healing Concentrate, wear daily to see wrinkles disappear within weeks.
Sisley Invisible Hold Hairspray

Experimenting with new updos may be fun but using harsh, chemical-heavy hairsprays to keep them in place can wreak havoc on hair. Avoid damaged, dry tresses with Sisley’s Hair Rituel hairspray. Infused with nourishing pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E acetate to actively care for the hair fibre, and increase shine and softness, it also promises a natural hold without stiffness or frizz.
Wildsmith Skin Super Hydrating overnight mask

What could be simpler than popping on a rich overnight mask before bed and letting it do its thing while you sleep? Formulated with restoring fruit extract and a unique anti-redness complex, the Super Hydrating overnight mask from British brand Wildsmith skin promises to soothe daily stressors, support the skin barrier and improve the texture and brightness of skin while you sleep. A good skin day every day? We’re on board.
Cellcosmet CellLift Lotion

Fresh from the labs of science-backed Swiss skincare brand, Cellcosmet, the innovative lightweight lotion has been designed to give your everyday skincare regime a boost. Packed with CytoPep cellular extracts, collagen, elastin, amino acids, vitamin B and aloe ferox, pat a few drops of this water-like solution onto skin after toning and before moisturising to smooth the complexion and leave skin incredibly radiant.
Sisley Supremÿa At Night The Sumpreme

Your eyes don’t deceive you, this really is a night cream that costs just shy of £600 but, if you’ve ever tried any of Sisley’s other powerful anti-aging products, you’ll know they more than earn their price tags. At Night is designed on the principles of chronobiology, working with the body’s natural overnight regeneration rythms to deliver active ingredients when they’re most effective. Based on the brand’s unique Fundamental Regeneration Complex, it promises a whole slew of anti-aging benefits alongside detoxifying and repairing properties. Trust us, it’s money well spent.
Almora Botanica Night Oil

For anyone who spent their teenage years trying to banish any trace of oil from their complexion, the thought of intentionally applying more can be something of an anathema. Invest in a good face oil made from quality ingredients, however, and you’ll be amazed at the effect they can have. Packed with nutrient-rich botanicals, including sunflower, sesame and hazelnut oil, Almora Botanica’s overnight formula is ideal for dipping your toe in.
Sarah Chapman Digital Shield

Pollution, free radicals, UV rays – the natural environment is full of stressors that increase signs of aging. Add to this artificial light from screens, which can also cause disruption to sleep, and you’ve got a combination guaranteed to ruin that peachy complexion you’ve been dreaming of. Sarah Chapman’s new Digital Shield is a lightweight gel which promises to put a barrier between your skin and these aggravating elements. Simply pop on after your serum in the morning and let its powerful actives do their thing.
Celui The One Nourishing Hair oil

Created by beauty influencer Anisa Sojka after an exhaustive (and fruitless) search for a multi-use, ethically produced hair product, Celui – which means ‘The One’ in French – promises its hair oil works for all hair types and concerns. Vegan, cruelty-free and made in the UK from 100 per cent natural ingredients, it’s packed full of nourishing jojoba, marula seed and olive oils and is designed to use as an overnight treatment.
Tata Harper Lip Crème

Somewhere between a lip balm and a lipstick, Tata Harper’s lip crèmes are highly pigmented and long-lasting but without the commitment and careful application a traditional lipstick requires. Formulated with antioxidants and omega-rich superfruits, they’re also hydrating and supremely comfortable for all-day wear.
Haus Labs Optic Intensity eco eyeliner

It should come as no surprise that Lady Gaga’s earth-friendly beauty line, Haus Labs, caters to those with a penchant for a strong makeup look. This summer it’s introducing a swathe of new shades across its highlighters, lip pencils, lip lacquers, bronzers, foundations and its seriously impressive plastic-free, waterproof eyeliner. Formulated with Vitamin E, argan oil and kajal, this sage hue has got holiday parties written all over it.
