The Beauty List: This Month’s Most Wanted Products
From the serum that smooths to the mascara that lifts and the scent that lingers, these are the beauty buys defining the moment – clever, covetable, and designed to bring polish, radiance, and a little extra pleasure to your everyday routine
Coming Up Roses
Meet the serum that does it all: plumps, smooths, brightens and protects. Sisley’s powerhouse concentrate harnesses an exclusive black rose extract and hyaluronic acid to visibly refine pores and restore bounce. The weightless texture disappears on contact, leaving skin impossibly soft and luminous. Four dimensions of radiance in one dropper.
The Perfect Matcha
Huda Beauty’s iconic Easy Bake Powder gets a clever twist with Matcha Milk Cake, a limited edition shade that neutralises redness, brightens, and blurs in one sweep. With its cherry blossom core and green-toned exterior, it’s colour-correcting made chic and a matcha made in heaven.
Bright Idea
K18’s TripleBright shampoo goes beyond the usual purple formula. Designed to remove metal and mineral build-up, neutralise brassiness, and help stop future discolouration, it leaves blonde hair looking fresher, and far more expensive – without the risk of staining, over-toning or that tell-tale violet cast.
The Long Game
Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Peptide Serum is a nextgeneration treatment clinically proven to protect up to 90 per cent of elastin and 63 per cent of collagen. Fast-absorbing and unscented, it smooths fine lines, boosts elasticity, and supports long-term resilience. The kind of foresight your skin will thank you for.
Eye-Con
Makeup By Mario’s Ethereal Eyes palette is back, and every bit as covetable as before – featuring 12 beautifully balanced shades across glossy shimmers, sueded mattes and natural metallics. Mario’s signature colour story is soft, flattering and endlessly wearable, taking you from ethereal everyday looks to something more elevated after dark.
The Bare Necessity
Flex It
YSL Beauty’s Lash Latex is all about lift, length, and definition with serious staying power. The sleek new mascara stretches, sculpts and raises lashes with a precise micro-bristle brush and a formula that holds for up to 24 hours – giving fluttery, polished lashes that do not quit.
Mist Opportunity
Light as milk, rich as honey – Gisou’s new leave-in mist is the all-in-one step your hair’s been waiting for. Powered by Mirsalehi Honey and hydrolysed milk protein, it detangles, smooths, and protects while delivering 92 per cent softer, frizz-free hair with a sublime scent of jasmine and vanilla.
