The Beauty Radar: July
THE MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY
La Bonne Brosse Micro Brush
Heritage hairbrush brand La Bonne Brosse has created this summer’s most covetable accessory. Known for its timeless tools that are kind on your hair, it has just dropped a limited-edition mini version, bringing you the same care and craftsmanship but in a grab-and-go format. Available in four different styles depending on your hair type, the brush design is so cute, measuring just 5.5 inches. We’re also obsessed with the fact that it’s fitted with a gold clip ring so you can secure it onto the outside of your bag, tapping into the rising trend of products performing as accessories in their own right.

THE SKIN STUDIO
Melanie Grant London
There’s a reason the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Victoria Beckham and Hailey Bieber trust Melanie Grant with their skin. Known – and loved – by her clients for her expert touch and resolute commitment to skin health, she knows exactly how to get your complexion looking its very best. Because Melanie is so highly sought-after, it can be tricky to secure a precious appointment – but if you do manage to get booked into her new Mayfair flagship, you won’t be disappointed.

THE SCENT OF SUMMER
Diptyque A Summer In The Water Garden
No fragrance brand does summer quite like Diptyque. This year, the maison draws on the idea of an idyllic water garden dotted with fragrant pines, sparkling orange trees and blooming jasmine. Dressed in limited-edition artwork by mosaic artist Mathilde Jonquière, the collection spotlights the house’s luminous Eau des Sens alongside the new Pinède candle, but also features some beautiful collectible accessories designed to elevate every corner of your home – from Medicis vases and matchboxes to rotating candle carousels. Trust us – you'll want to get your hands on this limited-edition drop before it disappears.

THE SALON OPENING
SCL
Redefining the idea of what a hair salon can be, this new spot just off Liverpool Street has it all. Masterminded by one of the industry’s most talented – and hardworking – stylists Samantha Cusick, the space feels fresh and forward-thinking, combining interactive-display mirrors, a LED helmet bar and frozen picantes on tap, all under one roof. Offering more than the traditional salon setting, we’re here for the striking, elevated interiors – think marble finishes and chrome accents – but above all else, we love that the core of the brand is never lost: you always leave with great hair.

THE EYE REVIVER
The Su-Man Eye Awakening
If you’ve not secured those all-important eight hours, this will make all the difference. Facialist and TCM expert Su-Man Hsu has just launched a new treatment dedicated to reviving tired eyes. Whether you’re dealing with puffiness, strain or tension connected to lack of sleep or too much screen time, this is the antidote. Part of her residency programme at Sofitel St James, the treatment itself combines Su-Man’s signature myofascial release technique with a targeted draining massage, designed to leave you looking noticeably fresher and more rested.

THE SENSORIAL BODYCARE
Perfumer H Bergamot Bathing
New by British perfumer Lyn Harris, Bergamot Bathing is worth checking out if you want to reinject some enjoyment back into your everyday rituals. True to the brand’s DNA, the collection feels select and never overblown – there are just four products in total and each earns its keep, ranging from aromatic hand wash and retro soap bars to energising shower wash and silky body lotion. Evoking the image of floating in a salt-laden sea underneath a blanket of hot sun, the uplifting hero scent takes the classic citrus fruit and blends it with powdery aldehydes, petitgrain and a dash of zesty Sicilian lemon with a spicy, glowing undercurrent.

THE MAKE-UP LAUNCH
Chanel Duo de Baumes
Bursting with playfulness and nostalgia, it’s no wonder we have our eye on the Chanel Summer’s Calling collection. Leaning into soft shimmers and glidable, balmy textures, the standout is Duo de Baumes – a dreamy, double-ended stick guaranteed to delight existing fans of the brand’s iconic Baume Essentiel. Vying for a place in your summer make-up bag, this clever hybrid is perfect for an effortless on-the-go glow. Spanning from fiery corals and raspberry pinks to Midas-touch golds, they’re ultra-versatile and can be used all over the face for a cohesive tonal moment. Our only grievance is the difficulty in picking a favourite combo.
