The beauty of, well, beauty products is that they only demand a short-term commitment. No matter the product—be it a shampoo, serum, eye cream or foundation—eventually, it will run out. The plus side? It’s the perfect opportunity to try something new.
What’s that saying? There’s really no time like the present… or something like that. Surely, we can’t be the only ones who feel like a brand new person after spritzing on a new scent or applying a swipe of lipstick?
Welcome to What’s New Now—our monthly round-up of the latest and greatest products to hit the shelves. Whether you’re searching for a few hints to drop, a gift for your best girlfriend or just want to try something that you haven’t before, you will find everything you need right here.
Fragrance
Oribe Côte D’Azur Eau De Parfum
Without jumping the gun, we think we could have found the most perfect summer scent. Oribe’s Côte D’Azur EDP is not only stunning to look at (that marbled lid!) but it is also seriously decadent on the nose. With notes of fresh lemon, plum, tuberose and sandalwood, this fragrance is bright, fresh and oh-so summer-y.
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver
Like wandering through the streets of the Italian countryside, the Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver is radiant and warm. With notes of Calabrian neroli, vetiver, basil and fig accord, this fragrance is as floral as it is earthy. Spritz on over a sundress and consider yourself whisked away to the European coastline.
Hair
JVN Complete Leave-In Conditioning Mist
Everyone wants Jonathan Van Ness hair! And with his new Complete Leave-In Conditioning Mist, this has never been easier. A lightweight, moisturising leave-in detangler formulated with squalane, jasmine oil and tangerine oil, this product will have your locks looking luscious in no time. Whether you want to add hydration post-wash or need a boost of moisture in-between wash days, this product can do it all.
Skin
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme
Say hello to bright, youthful eyes with the new Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme. Patented until 2023, this formula uses the brand’s exclusive FR-Defense technology to fight the visible effects of free radical damage and brighten dark circles in just two weeks. In short: a serious hard worker.
Lesse Soothing Lip Balm
If your lips are looking a little dry and damaged following the cold lashings of the winter elements, then the new Lesse Soothing Lip Balm is for you. Formulated with cocoa butter, shea butter, jojoba oil and avocado oil, this intensely nourishing lip product will keep your pout kissable for hours on end (without the need to reapply). It also comes housed in a 100 per cent recyclable cardboard cylinder, making its environmental impact close to nothing.
Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream
We love multitasking skincare products as much as the next girl. So, our love of the new Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream comes as no surprise. A decadent face cream that works to plump, smooth and lift the skin using the power of organic harungana and gorse extracts, this formula will have you looking youthful and refreshed in as little as one month.

Huda Beauty Fauxfilter Luminous Matte Liquid Concealer
A crease-proof, medium-to-full coverage formula that covers and brightens in one fell swoop, the new Huda Beauty Fauxfilter Liquid Concealer is here to fill that gaping hole in your beauty bag. Formulated with sweet almond oil and vitamin E to care for and moisturise the delicate under eye area while you wear, this concealer is on the fast track to achieving must-have status.
Dior Diorshow On Stage Liner
For eyeliner that will stay in place all night long, the Dior Diorshow On Stage Liner is second to none. Ensuring 24hrs of intense colour, the ultra-flexible felt tip delivers the formula with precision (while also being incredibly forgiving for winged liner rookies). Whether you opt for classic black or a fun khaki moment, there is also a colour for everyone and every occasion.
Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Volumising Pencil
A first-of-its-kind brow product, the Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Volumising Pencil has just changed your brow game forever. A brow pencil that combines fibres and powder, the formula contains silk cotton tree fibres that adhere to the skin and hairs to volumise, fill and define. Genius, pure genius, we say!
