Words Mary-Jane Wiltsher, Marianna Manson and Zeliha Cagis
Glossier Milky Facial Jelly Cleanser
Smooth, radiant skin is an eternal beauty goal, and Glossier’s new low-pH, non-foaming milky jelly cleanser is a great new player on the scene. This daily face wash comes in a gentle creamy gel formula that removes waterproof make-up and leaves skin feeling clean and fresh. The hero ingredients – poloxamer and rosewater – really do make a difference, purifying and nourishing skin with every use. Get ready to commit to a new staple.
Glasshouse Skincare Hair, Hand & Body Wash
A sustainable, eco-friendly, cruelty-free, vegan, three-in-one product? Sign us up. This new hair, hand and body wash by Glasshouse Skincare proves that multitasking products can sometimes work – plus, investing in a bottle means you buying fewer products, reducing your plastic waste and saving bathroom space. Invigorating scents of citrus and ginger add a burst of warmth and energy.
FOREO UFO SMART MASK TREATMENT DEVICE
90 seconds is barely long enough to boil the kettle, but Foreo’s new UFO Smart Mask Device promises to deliver salon-worthy smoothing treatments in exactly that. Part sheet mask, part alien skin frisbee, the electronic device combines advanced dermal technologies with exclusive Korean mask formulas for a decadent facial treatment – fast. Thermo-Therapy mode relaxes and soothes, whilst the Cyro-Therapy mode instantly cools to refreshes invigorate skin. There’s also inbuilt LED with 3 targeted photo-facials in one at-home device. Major beauty one-upmanship.
Winky Lux
We were sold on New York-based Winky Lux by its beautiful packaging and adorable moniker, but the brand’s newest range of beauty products have cemented our adoration. A tinted moisturiser infused with green tea, matcha powder and vanilla lip oil, and a juicy watermelon flavoured gloss, are just two of the highlights landing this month. Use into September to keep your summer buzz.
T3 Cura hairdryer
Quick drying, frizz-defying hair dryers have become industry standard – but the Cura Dryer from T3 is set to raise the bar for summer with innovative, digitally-controlled air temperature to prevent heat damage, as well as a lock-in ‘cool shot’ button for extra staying power. The best bit? Wrist cramp will be a thing of the past – the ‘ergonomic slant handle’ helps alleviate wrist strain for effortless drying.
