July’s Best New Beauty Buys
N°1 De Chanel Red Camellia Serum-In-Mist
£94 | Chanel
Harnessing the power of the red camellia, Chanel’s new skin launch is quite possibly the chicest heatwave companion we could hope for. Delivering that satisfying, quenched feeling, each spritz of this clever hybrid formula is an instant pick-me-up. If the warm weather has you experiencing dehydration lines and tightness, make this your new go-to. Plus, the glossy, pebble-like packaging is so good.

Eye Activator
£110 | Westman Atelier
Whether your aim is to ease puffiness, smooth lines or brighten dark circles, this is a great all-rounder. Combining 12 powerful-but-gentle actives, including niacinamide, peptides and exosome technology, Westman Atelier’s new serum treats the delicate eye area. Formulated with the help of Dr Park, one of Korea’s leading skincare scientists, it has a lightweight, silky consistency and is designed to deliver visible results in just four weeks.

Glazing Mist
£30 | Rhode
Predictably, this piqued our interest after Rhode’s Glazing Fluid earned the beauty editor seal of approval. This new addition is an ultra-fine spritz, designed to hydrate and soothe. Full of skin-friendly ingredients like ectoin, ceramides and beta-glucan, it’s ideal for misting over your make-up when your skin is crying out for a refresh, as well as layered before your go-to serum.

Daphne Bouquet Eau De Parfum
£175 | Penhaligon's
If you’re yet to update your fragrance for summer, this one by Penhaligon’s – created to mark the brand’s 155th anniversary and paying tribute to the woodlands of Highgrove – is not to be missed. Notes of lush blackcurrant leaf, moss and the daphne flower combine to create a blend that’s verdant and uplifting. At £175 it’s an investment – but it feels like such a vibrant alternative if you’re not into splashy, citrusy colognes that tend to dominate at this time of year.

Hydrating Makeup Cleanser
£11 (was £16.50) | Curél
J-beauty favourite Curél has just added a new cleanser to its line-up and it’s brilliant if you’re after a reliable, does-what-it-says-on-the-tin option. No-frills in the best possible way, the milky formula quickly shifts make-up and replenishes all-important lipids thanks to the brand’s signature biomimetic ceramide technology, leaving your skin more comfortable than it would be after a standard micellar water. It’s also fragrance-free, so a safe bet for those with sensitive skin.

Airwrap Coanda 2x Styler
Coming Soon | Dyson
When Dyson drops a new tool, we take notice. Compact and user-friendly, its latest multi-tasker uses powerful airflow technology and a new-and-improved motor design to cut down your styling time. You can pick either the Straight+Wavy or the Curly+Coily version, both of which come with a set of six different attachments to suit your individual hair type. Built with hair health in mind, this clever, cutting-edge styler is one to consider if you’re tired of juggling multiple gadgets.
Coming soon to DYSON.CO.UK
Urea 5% Body Serum
£24 | Naturium
At this time of year, there’s nothing worse than applying a rich body cream post-shower, only for it to sit thickly on top of your skin like butter on cold toast. If you’re craving something lighter, try this. The milky consistency sinks in quickly to restore your moisture levels but also locks everything in.

Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hydrating Shampoo
Coming Soon | Gisou
Known for its honey-infused formulas, Gisou is one of our go-tos for deep hair nourishment. Taking its cues from skincare, this shampoo uses alpha-hydroxy acids to shift product build-up and excess oil, leaving your hair feeling fresh and renewed, but never squeaky clean thanks to moisture-retentive ceramides. Even better, you’ll notice your hair has a glossiness and a soft-to-the-touch quality that lasts for days.
Launching on the 7th July.

First Light Tinted Tan Serum
£32 | Self Glow By James Read
Masterminded by tanning expert James Read, this is one of our favourite brands for realistic-looking warmth. The serum format is so handy – no mixing or unnecessary faff required. Whereas some facial tanners can dry out your skin or even leave an unpleasant tackiness, First Light feels velvety and comfortable, and the soft-blur finish is so flattering. On ‘no-makeup make-up’ days, use this to give yourself a little extra colour.

Soft Strobe Creamy Highlight Powder
£25 | Simihaze Beauty
Cream highlighters are having a moment and Simihaze’s is our latest favourite. Ultra-fine and luminous, this creates such a pretty, light-reflecting effect. Thanks to its creamy, cushiony consistency, it melts into the skin and feels weightless – plus, it has an impressive staying power. ‘Citrine’ – a gorgeous, golden-hour champagne shade – is our current obsession.

Colour Wash
Coming soon | Victoria Beckham Beauty
Liquid blushes are everywhere right now, while traditional tints and stains have slightly fallen out of favour. But if this launch is anything to go by, they’re back with bang. Delivering a romantic, ethereal flush, reminiscent of the runway-approved watercolour make-up trend, this water-based formula feels weightless, and just makes you look instantly fresher. Don’t be alarmed – the colours look far more muted on the skin.
Launching on the 15th July.

Advanced Scalp Dermaroller
£20 | UKLASH
Scalp health is a hot topic these days, and for good reason. A healthy scalp equals healthy hair, and if you love a gadget, this dermaroller is one to have on your radar. Fitted with 540 0.25mm microneedles, it creates tiny channels on the surface of your scalp, not only boosting collagen production and stimulating the follicles, but also allowing actives to penetrate more easily – so it’s a great one to use in tandem with a growth-boosting serum.

Micro Manager Gripping Brow Gel
coming soon | Morphe
Ever since we got a sneak preview of this wittily named brow fixer during our chat with make-up artist Ash K Holm, we knew we needed to take it for a proper spin. Designed to tame hairs and keep them locked in place all day long, this does not disappoint. Especially in the summer heat, it works overtime, making your brows look feathery and full, without leaving behind any annoying white residue.
Launching on the 10th July.

LumiLips LED Lip Mask
£80 | Silk'n
As we age, our collagen and elastin levels decline, meaning a loss of volume in our lips. Powered by 120 LED light bulbs, this innovative gadget aims to plump and smooth the lip area. Targeting smile lines, this is one to try if you always experience feathering when you wear lipstick. Plus, each session only requires between three and five minutes of commitment – ideal for low-maintenance beauty fans.

Luminous Light Primer
£25 | Dcypher
Full of light-reflecting pearly pigment, this primer gives your skin such a flattering, luminous effect. Dullness is no match for this – it creates a bouncy, dewy-looking finish that goes a long way if you’re stressed out or tired. Blend it all over with your fingers before make-up or even mix a couple of drops in with your chosen base to ramp up the glow factor. Trust us, it’s guaranteed to earn you compliments
