The beauty drops currently living rent-free on our vanities

There’s no shortage of new beauty launches, but only a few actually make us stop mid-scroll and rethink our routines. From clever SPF upgrades and glow-boosting skin tints to plush lip formulas, skin-loving blushes, and a fragrance debut that feels instantly iconic, these are the beauty finds earning a permanent spot on our radar—and our shelves.

Throw shade

No skimping on sunscreen just coz summery days are behind us. Here’s one that’s perfect for touch-ups on the go—priming the skin for makeup and instantly blurring pores.

Take two

Your beloved moisturiser just got a stellar upgrade—now powered with sun protection. Rest assured, it leaves no white cast or greasiness, and is safe for all you sensitive skin girlies. Your favourite formula... but better.

Halo, hydration

Meet the newest skin tint on the block: It doubles as a serum and sunscreen (SPF 50!) while granting you a barely-there, ‘my skin but better’ finish.

Skin reawakening

Introducing your glow-up in a jar to smooth fine lines, supercharge hydration, and boost skin firmness. Bonus: Clinical findings suggest +28.8 per cent improvement in skin elasticity in just six weeks!

Lips don’t lie

You’re just a click away from fuller, high-shine lips. This melt-upon-application formula lends a reflective, mirror-like sheen while quenching your pout, courtesy of an emollient peptide blend and 41 per cent lip conditioning oils. What’s more, it’s available in eight versatile shades for every mood; sheer-to-medium buildable coverage.

Getcha glow on

Consider this one-step wonder your go-to for fabulously flawless skin—a lightweight yet efficacious solution to conceal discolouration, spots, and uneven skin texture in a matter of minutes.

Blush hour

Pigmented? Check. Blendable? Check. Long-lasting? Check. We’ve found you a hybrid hero that hits the sweet spot—colour pay-off without compromising on hydration. Infused with hyaluronic oil, this formula delivers a soft focus flush; a skin-like finish on your cheeks and lips. Six shades, 12 hours stay!

Mane attraction

Hair you go... the shampoo-conditioner duo you’ve all been waiting for. A fitting extension of the brand’s beloved Champi ritual, this beauty combo strengthens, smoothes, and seals cuticles so bad hair days become a thing of the past.

Seal the deal

Cakey concealer? It’s kay, we found you one that doubles down on hydration so no creases ever again (a moment of applause for hyaluronic acid and niacinamide). Plus, an effortlessly precise swipe thanks to the in-built wand applicator.

More than makeup

Dot, dab, and done! Inspired by iconic on-screen characters—Geet, Bobby, Aisha, and Tina—this soft blur blush boasts a skincare-first formula for naturally dewy, flushed skin.

Scentsational

The Italian luxury house presents Fiamma—the very first femme fragrance envisioned by creative director Maximilian Davis. A sensual blend of white pear, gardenia, patchouli and more, it evokes a sophisticated intensity perfect for the woman of today.
