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.

Body
Tata Harper Redefining Body Balm
As bikini season rolls around, it’s time to up the body care ante. No one wants scaly skin while sitting beachside, after all. So, why not indulge in some luxury body care with the Tata Harper Redefining Body Balm? A firming body treatment to minimise the appearance of stretch marks and provide intense hydration for smoothing looking skin, this body balm will do all the hard work for you. Glowing skin à la JLo, here we come!
Evereden Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream
Specifically designed to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, the Evereden Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream deeply hydrates the skin with nourishing mango butter to improve the skin’s elasticity. It also contains centella asiatica and vitamin A-rich rosehip oil, which are both gold-standard ingredients for tackling stretch marks. So, whether you’re a mum-to-be or just want to fade your tiger stripes a little, this product is for you. We will say, though, that we also love to embrace ours.
