Introducing my pick of this week’s best new beauty and wellness offerings...
To soothe and smooth: Rhode Peptide Eye Prep Patches
Queen of glow Hailey Bieber has been teasing her cooling hydrogel eye patches for a while now — and they’re finally here! As a long-term patch fan (is there anything better to smooth, plump and soothe pre-makeup?), I was keen to see how these compared to their often pricier counterparts. And measure up they did. Infused with caffeine to brighten, skin-strengthening peptides to boost collagen and elastin, plus glycerin to moisturise, they left my eye area beautifully hydrated, supple and dewy.

To aid your sleep: Inora Was it all a Dream
Born from a frustration with capsules that over promise and underdeliver, this elegant doctor-formulated liquid sleep supplement is designed for immediate absorption and measurable efficacy. Melatonin-free and with each and every ingredient rigorously tested for purity and potency, it harnesses the likes of valerian root, passion flower, lemon balm, chamomile and cherry to very effectively ease you into sleep.. (£59, inorahealth.com)
The hot new scent for him: Prada Paradigme Eau de Parfum
Hold onto your pants — Prada’s latest ‘fume is an absolute scorcher. Fronted by British actor Tom Holland and housed in an irresistible emerald-green bottle, it features a more-than-magnetic blend of bergamot, benzoin, rose geranium and musk. I suspect this one will fly… (£115 for 100ml, sephora.co.uk)
For healthy, happy lips: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Pumpkin Pie
Arriving just in time for Halloween, Laneige’s iconic hyaluronic acid-infused overnight lip masks now comes in gorgeous gourd form. Featuring the brands’ signature Moisture Wrap technology, it treats roughness and cracking while you snooze, returning your lips to their smooth and supple former glory. (£21, spacenk.com)
For chic shaving: Estrid Razor in Saturn
If you haven’t tried Stockholm-born Estrid’s 10/10 razors yet you must. A recent convert, I can hand-on-heart say that this is the best razor I’ve ever used in terms of style, usability, easy-to-recycle packaging and price point too. The regular starter kit is £9.95 with four replacement blades coming in at the same price. Their latest incarnation — gleaming in gold — takes their desirability to dazzling new heights. (£11.59. superdrug.com)
For hair with excellent swish: TypeBea R4 Intense Repair Leave-In Treatment
Powered by a new bond-building technology and the hero product in a four-step system from co-founders Rita Ora and (the impossibly charming) beauty entrepreneur Anna Lahey, this clever treatment reduces hair breakage by a massive 80 per cent, leaving hair gratifyingly soft and swishy so that you can bid adieu to frizzy, straw-like strands. (£43, typebea.com)
