September’s Best New Beauty Buys
Shape Set Hairspray
£32 | Olaplex
If you usually swerve hairspray, this could convert you. Full of flexi-hold polymers and protective plant extracts, Olaplex’s version keeps flyaways in check without the annoying tell-tale crunch, so you can still comfortably run your fingers through your hair. As well as keeping everything locked in place, it also strengthens and relinks broken disulfide bonds, repairing your hair from the inside out.

Airbrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder
£40 | Charlotte Tilbury
Forget what you thought you knew about loose powder – this is a cut above. Going far beyond simple shine control, its ultra-fine, micro-milled formula brightens and sets, while light-diffusing powders soften the appearance of texture. The most interesting thing about? The sculpting potential: press it along the cheekbones, jawline or down the sides of the nose to sharpen and lift your features. We’re also very much here for the clever mesh dispenser.

Pool Slick Lash Lacquer
£45 | Fara Homidi
Mascara is deeply personal but this has all the hallmarks of a crowdpleaser. First, it coats your lashes with just the right amount of pigment – often not the case with thicker wands – and the rigidity of the fibres allows for proper separation, resulting in a full, fluffy effect. Crucially, it also stays put. Nutty ‘Cabana’ is our current shade obsession.

Longevit-8 Peptide Serum
£21.99 | Byoma
PDRN is everywhere and now it’s hit the high street. Alongside vegan phyto-PDRN, this lightweight serum contains NMN, copper peptides, niacinamide and barrier-boosting ceramides which collectively leave your complexion plump and glowing. At £21.99, it’s a fraction of the price of some luxury, longevity-focused serums, making it a great entry point for anyone new to the anti-ageing category.

Hair Density & Volume Treatment Shampoo
£18 | Caudalie
Caudalie’s new shampoo will make a world of difference for flat, fine hair types. Powered by VineOxyl – a hero growth-boosting ingredient derived from hydroxylated grapeseed oil – it works to restore volume and create a thicker look without adding unnecessary weight. We can’t get enough of the herbaceous, sparkly scent.

Lash Lift Gel
£20 | UKLASH
If your lashes are naturally poker-straight, you need this in your corner. Mimicking the effects of a professional lash lift while doubling up as a primer, UKLASH’s latest works hard. Think of it as the framework – it works best layered under your go-to mascara for noticeable lift. Otherwise you can wear the sheer caramel tint solo for a soft, groomed finish on minimal make-up days. It’s also kind on your lashes thanks to vitamin E, glycerin and hexapeptide-1 which work to condition and hydrate.

The Complete Carebrush
£22 | Tangle Teezer
A hairbrush is a hairbrush, right? Not as far as Tangle Teezer is concerned. The hero detangling brand is constantly working to improve its designs and its latest is the best yet. Two tiers of flexible teeth work in tandem to guide the hair through with next-to-no snags and while simultaneously massaging your scalp. Choose the best brush for you based on your hair type – straight-to-wavy, fine or curly-to-coily. Trust us, it’ll glide through your hair like a knife through butter.

Coco Mademoiselle Rouge Coco Crush
£47 | CHANEL
We can’t resist a limited-edition make-up launch and Chanel always hits the mark. Part of the Coco Mademoiselle collection, Rouge Coco glides on seamlessly, coating your lips in a soft, hydrating veil of mauve-lilac. Infused with flecks of radiance and adorned with the House’s iconic double C emblem, it’s almost too pretty to use.

CryoGlow Clinic LED Face & Body System
£549.99 | Shark Beauty
Industry leader Shark has launched its most advanced LED mask yet. Thanks to additional light points and improved coverage, it delivers twice the anti-ageing power of the original, making it a seriously impressive at-home option. Plus, the clever foldable panel designed to address the neck, chest, back and hands is far more sophisticated than many area-specific LED devices. It’s an investment, but one worth considering if you’re after a gadget that can target everything from blemishes to fine lines.

Hotel Portofino Extrait Parfum
£303 | Victoria Beckham Beauty
Intoxicating in all the right ways, Hotel Portofino is Victoria Beckham Beauty’s first extrait. Drawing on the same early days of romance with David that inspired the bestselling Portofino ’97, this revisits those memories through a fresh lens. An addictive opening of bergamot gives way to saffron, wild fig and rich pinot noir accords, leaving a warm, lingering afterglow.

Fearless Skin Tint Drops
£45 | Trinny London
Fresh and luminous without being OTT, Trinny London’s latest base has been created specifically with mature skin in mind. Combining the lightness of a tint with the coverage of a proper foundation, this is worth trying if your usual go-to is leaving your complexion looking slightly flat. It contains hyaluronic acid to plump up dehydration lines and niacinamide to smooth texture, leaving you looking rested and radiant in equal measure.

Multi-Care Hair Oil
£43 | Clarins
Venturing into haircare for the first time, Clarins has the answer to your post-summer woes. Marrying the brand’s signature sensorial approach with performance, our standout is the multi-purpose oil. Infused with milk thistle, jojoba and cashew oils, it works to restore softness, bringing dry, crunchy strands back from the brink. Plus, it feels unexpectedly featherlight and creates an expensive-looking shine.
Available at CLARINS.CO.UK
60-Second Makeup Melter Cleansing Balm
£19.99 | L’Oréal Paris
A quality cleanser needn’t cost the earth. The new L’Oréal Paris balm melts into your skin like a dream and quickly shifts make-up, SPF and all the debris of the day. Full of shea butter and jojoba oil, the nourishing formula makes your skin feel supple and smooth. Buff it off with a hand-hot flannel for best results.

Pro-Collagen Future Restore Eye Serum
£95 | Elemis
New to the award-winning Elemis Pro-Collagen line, this eye serum is the key to appearing fresher. Formulated with potent marine-derived actives to improve firmness and banish signs of fatigue, it has a cushiony texture and layers seamlessly under other skincare. Gently pat in using your ring finger both morning and night for the best results.
