Every new beauty product to add to your radar for July 2021

Sitting south of the Equator has some surprising perks. Take for example, all the latest beauty trends and products landing just when we need them most. Eye-catching palettes and pops of colour - obviously launched in line with summer in the Northern Hemisphere – are perfectly timed to inject some much-needed colour into our winter beauty routines.

There’s plenty to be excited about in winter, like a seasonal skincare and olfactory update. Think hydration heroes, targeted treatments and musc-based scents.

From new skincare to must-have makeup, ahead we round-up the beauty launches worth the hype this season…


Aēsop Othertopias

Of all our senses, our sense of smell is most closely linked to memories. Every aroma is informed by our own experiences, which continue to be re-shaped by our dreams and memories. Nothing has the power to transport us to other realms quite like fragrance. Aēsop’s latest collection, Othertopias, is the embodiment of this. The trio of fragrances is inspired by spaces that blur the boundaries of real and unreal, here and there. Titled Miraceti, Karst and Erémia, they transport wearers to realms both real and imagined.

PAUME

Tell us a couple of years ago we’d be lusting over a hand sanitiser and we’d laugh. Fast-forward to July 2021 and it’s very much a reality. Now a non-negotiable, look down and the trade-off is very evident in your poor hands – dry and irritated. Sure, minor in the scheme of things, but we need not settle for that anymore thanks to PAUME. A revolutionary new approach to hand hygiene, where necessity meets luxury, PAUME is an award-winning, plant-based formula intended to turn an everyday behaviour into an indulgence. The alcohol-based formula designed to kill 99.99 percent of harmful bacteria, is infused with aloe vera, witch hazel and an all-natural emollient derived from plants which has a time-releasing moisturising effect.

No one likes a micromanager, but we’ll make an exception in this instance. This revolutionary serum is the beauty world’s response to smart phones and smart cars. It essentially ‘micromanages’ your skin, in that it knows what your skin needs before you do. Once applied, the smart active ingredients immediately begin to detect signals that indicate if the skin needs brightening, calming, firming and/or hydration and release the specific actives to target these concerns. Clever stuff.

Narciso Rodriguez Musc Noir For Her

The newest addition to the cult fragrance line, Musc Noir For Her, echoes the original but with a richer, more mysterious olfactory depth. Leathery suede accords transform the heart of musc and intensify the skin-on-skin sensuality of the fragrance, which is then emboldened with heliotrope and enhanced by white cedar and rose. Musc Noir is presented in a completely translucent bottle, revealing the mystery within.

Issey Miyake A Drop D'Issey EDP

If an ultra-feminine scent is your juice of choice, then the latest fragrance from Issey Miyake, A Drop D’Issey, could just be your new favourite. Rooted in floral, solar lilac, with a subtle musky lens and hint of almond milk accord, the result is a delicate, uplifting bouquet. Designed in France, with sustainability front of mind, it was developed using carefully and ethically sourced ingredients. The top note is floral with pure, clear, damask rose, while the middle notes magnify the enveloping fragrance of solar lilac.

Dust & Glow Powder Based Shampoo

As if a pandemic wasn’t enough, adding to the list of events that occupied the better half of last year: a water shortage. Still continuing now, the water shortage highlighted that a resource we thought was a given, is in fact very scarce. There’s an obvious need to do better when it comes to water conservation – starting with our beauty cabinet. Traditional beauty cleansing products contain 80-95 percent water, then we often add more just to use them. Enter a range of waterless, powder-based, high performance products, which save on average three litres of water per bottle. Founded by beauty industry veteran Gaelle Thieme, Dust & Glow is a line of natural, eco-friendly products activated by water in the shower. Our pick? The Powder Based Shampoo. Trust us, it works.
