This month’s beauty launches are fresh for the picking. From must-have skin-loving glow drops to silky hair and body mists, plus makeup multitaskers you didn’t know you needed until now. Our editor, Trudi Brewer, shares the pick of the crop, each designed to hydrate and add warmth.

Some hair products promise repair. Others promise shine. This mist delivers both: hair that looks impossibly glossy and super healthy. The secret lies in what the brand calls its biomimetic molecular complex. A sophisticated blend designed to mirror the hair’s own structure while enhancing its look and feel. How? A cocktail of conditioning amino acids, hydrolysed wheat, soy and corn proteins, panthenol (vitamin B5), and lightweight silicones works to smooth the surface of stressed strands, leaving hair softer, silkier and more manageable between washes. Then there’s the magic touch: holographic shine, particles that catch and reflect the light, creating the kind of salon-fresh finish usually reserved for a professional blow-dry. Unlike many hair oils and serums, it’s suitable for all hair types, including coloured, curly and fine.
Off the back of their Daily Calm Makeup Balm, a brilliant soothing foundation, this multi-use beauty buy is for cheeks and lips. Its ingredient list includes hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, sunflower seed extract, and an ingredient combination the brand calls Uniflavon, which combines Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) root extract and bamboo leaf (Phyllostachys edulis) extract. Created for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin, it’s a gorgeous hit of colour that melts into the skin to look super-natural. The range has six shades; pictured here is our fave, Sweet Nectar.
There is something so satisfying about patch therapy. When eyes look exhausted, a little affordable luxury can go a long way. Boost Lab’s latest innovation is the beauty equivalent of a power nap—cooling, hydrating and designed to revive the delicate eye area in minutes. These shimmery hydrogel patches deliver a concentrated dose of skin-loving ingredients where tiredness shows up first. The formula pairs 24K gold pigments with a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid to help replenish moisture, hydrolysed collagen to support a smoother, plumper-looking appearance, and glycerin to attract and lock in moisture. Also, unlike other eye patches, they don’t slide from your face; they stick tight to smooth and nourish.
To use: Apply to clean, dry skin under the eyes. Leave on for 15 minutes, remove and leave on any remaining serum.
A clever dual-ended stick for adding colour to lips, cheeks and eyes. It combines a velvety matte and a glowing balm, letting you get creative with your everyday makeup. This stick blends effortlessly, leaving a seamless wash of colour for definition and a pretty glow. Whether you're getting ready in five minutes or perfecting an evening makeup look, this is the kind of multitasker that earns a spot in your beauty bag. There are three shades, pictured here: Venice, a golden pink and dusky rose.
For an instant holiday glow, when you are not travelling, rather than reaching for the self-tan, try these customised glow drops. For a subtle bronzed look, the pigments add warmth without risking an orange streak, and the colour is easy to adjust: mix a drop or two into your moisturiser, sunscreen, or foundation, and apply. Super hydrating with skincare benefits, the formula includes niacinamide to help support the skin’s barrier and improve the look of an uneven tone over time. And like all FAB products, it is formulated to be well-tolerated even for those with sensitive skin.
There was a time when fragrance scented the skin. Today, beauty's most coveted launches do so much more—and this new mist is a perfect example. Blurring the lines between fragrance and skincare, it is designed to veil both hair and body in a comforting fragrance while delivering hydration, skin softness and an unmistakable healthy-looking glow. At the heart of the formula is Gisou's exclusive Mirsalehi honey water, created by fermenting the brand's signature Mirsalehi Honey. Rich in postbiotics to support the skin’s microbiome, there’s hyaluronic acid, renowned for its ability to attract and retain moisture, and a peptide complex that completes the ingredient blend, creating a featherlight finish.
It's the kind of modern beauty essential that slips effortlessly into your daily ritual. Another reason I am hooked is its clean-inspired aroma, which reminds me of some of my firm faves: Byredo Blanche and Maison Francis Kurkdjian 724.
There’s a colour for every smile.
