Jo Malone London Raspberry Ripple Cologne
Summer in fragrance form, Jo Malone’s Raspberry Ripple Cologne is made for the warmer weather. The fruity aroma has a nostalgic feel with every spritz, harking back to seaside breaks with sweet ice cream-like flavours. It is made up of notes of redcurrant and blackcurrant at the top with a heart of the named raspberry touch that is balanced in its saccharine nature with green undertones. To round it off, white musk is at the base.

UKHAIR Advanced Scalp Dermaroller
Use in tandem with the brand’s best-selling Hair Growth Serum or your existing nourishing oils, and the Advanced Scalp Dermaroller will encourage product absorption. Made up of 540 0.25mm precision needles, you roll it across the scalp to stimulate the follicles and encourage collagen production. All while remaining gentle for those with sensitivities.
In a trial by the brand, users saw impressive results in three months of use. First and foremost, 95 per cent experienced less hair loss and an improvement in hair quality, while 85 per cent had visible regrowth and 80 per cent attested to less breakage.

Chāmpo Flyaway Fix
Whether you’re creating slicked back styles or polished looks, the new Chāmpo Flyaway Fix is a product you’ll want and need in your haircare arsenal. You will first notice that the applicator resembles a brush.
The fine-tooth comb ensures that no stray strands are left uncoated in its fixing formula. The latter is made from upcycled orange extracts and plant-based conditioners that are not just good for the planet, preventing waste, but also nourish and hydrate to lock it in without feeling crispy or crunchy.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Colour Wash
Bold blush looks are dominating the FYPs on TikTok - and Victoria Beckham Beauty is throwing its hat into the ring with Colour Wash.
The highly pigmented product consists of an easily blendable water-based formula that hydrates as you apply for real staying power. It is made up of seawater and superfruit extracts that are brimming with vitamin C as well as coconut fruit water. There are three shades: coral, red (known as Finished) and a berry mauve (dubbed Vintage Rose).
You will see VB herself donning Finished.

A cult buy beloved by Gucci Westman’s loyal fan base, the makeup artist has built on the success of her Skin Activator Serum with a dedicated formula for the eyes. The combination of 12 potent actives - including a proprietary complex of niacinamide and a peptide trio - is gentle enough to suit the delicate area but, through the exosome encapsulation, penetrates deep into the skin to maximise results.

Megababe Après Shave Ingrown and Razor Bump Roll-On Solution
While there are many options for hair removal, shaving is the speediest and easiest, so it’s no surprise that many of us still reach for the razor come summertime. The biggest problem with it, however? Ingrown hairs. These can not just be irritating but painful too, which is why Megababe has formulated a solution.
Using apple fruit extract, witch hazel and BHA to gently exfoliate the skin, the product works to remove pore-clogging dead skin cells and leave your limbs silky smooth.
