With the change in season comes the perfect opportunity to rethink your beauty routine and this month’s launches deliver on every front. From featherlight SPFs designed for everyday wear to velvety cleansers that punches well above its weight, plus a powerful yet impressively gentle hair tool promising salon-worthy results at home, these are the standout products firmly on our radar right now.
Lip Recharge Glossy Balm, £30 | Jones Road Beauty
Lip Recharge is a powerful lip treatment that refreshes, smooths, and hydrates on contact through a mix of antioxidants, collagen-boosting peptides, and a cooling metal applicator. Available in 9 sheer shades strategically made to look beautiful on all lip tones. Casually throw on for nourishment, tint, and shine.
Rénergie Collagen Lift-Xtend Cream, £92 | Lancôme
A new generation of firming skincare, unveiling an innovative cream designed to mimic the visible tightening effects of professional lifting techniques. With its distinctive thread-like texture, the formula is powered by an advanced collagen complex, combining amplified collagen fractions with collagen peptides and copper tripeptide to help target visible signs of ageing. The results? Skin feels smoother, firmer and more sculpted, with facial contours looking subtly redefined and lifted over time.
Evoking the golden glow of late afternoon light on warm skin, Lumière d’Issey is a study in modern radiance. It opens with a bright, crystalline flash of green mandarin and fresh neroli, before settling into a softly musky orange blossom that feels floral yet decidedly grown-up. As it wears on, a creamy pistachio-wood accord emerges, lending depth and longevity while leaving a smooth, ambery trail that’s elegant, comforting and quietly sensual.
The Milky Sunscreen SPF 50+, £49 | Tatcha
Celebrated for its sensorial, skin-first formulas, Tatcha makes a compelling case for daily SPF with its latest launch. The Milky Sunscreen is featherlight yet reassuringly protective, offering broad-spectrum UVA and UVB defence while addressing visible sun damage, including dark spots, redness and fine lines. Powered by ectoin, vitamin E and calming Okinawa aloe, it melts seamlessly into the skin and layers beautifully beneath makeup — no chalkiness, no compromise.
No.3 Plus Complete Repair Treatment, £32 | Olaplex
A quiet upgrade to an icon. Olaplex’s cult No.3 has been refined to deliver results in just three minutes, without sacrificing performance. This is the brand’s most advanced bond-repair technology to date, penetrating deep into the hair fibre to restore strength and resilience. Particularly effective on chemically treated or heat-stressed hair, it leaves lengths noticeably smoother, healthier and easier to manage.
Reflection Glossy Liquid Balm, £40 | Prada
Prada’s foray into gloss is, unsurprisingly, impeccably considered. Reflection Glossy Liquid Balm delivers high-impact shine with the comfort of a hydrating balm, striking a balance between polish and ease. The shade range is refined yet playful, while the standout ‘Banana Yellow’ — a sheer, gold-flecked veil — offers a subtle nod to last summer’s viral beauty moment. The sleek, modern packaging is simply the finishing touch.
Eternal Curls Polish & Protect Oil, £49 | Oribe
Curly hair’s natural dryness calls for targeted nourishment, and Oribe delivers with this multi-tasking oil. Formulated with 17 botanical oils, including watermelon seed and apricot, it replenishes essential lipids while enhancing curl definition and shine. Lightweight yet deeply conditioning, it smooths, protects and perfects — without weighing hair down.
Limited Edition Red Terracotta Dunes, £51 | Guerlain
Few products have achieved icon status quite like Guerlain’s Terracotta Bronzer. This season, the classic is reimagined in beautifully patterned, limited-edition cases inspired by Moroccan tilework. Inside sits ‘Light 03’, a softly nuanced blend of muted corals and warm browns that delivers natural-looking warmth with a single sweep. Effortless, flattering and timeless — just as Terracotta should be.
This gentle yet effective formula removes makeup, impurities and excess oil while respecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving the complexion feeling clean, calm and hydrated. Enriched with premium-grade saffron, soothing red algae and nourishing squalane, it helps brighten and soften the skin over time, promoting a more radiant appearance. The velvety, milky texture transforms into a soft lather that feels luxurious on the skin, turning everyday cleansing into a moment of indulgence.
