I’ve not finished a magnificence round-up for some time, so right here’s an replace of the summer season merchandise and intel on my radar…

THE FLAT LAY IS BACK. Shiny stories that the 2016-era flat lay is again as a lo-fi type of relatable Instagram content material that’s performing nicely for manufacturers. The twist is that the shot must be imperfect, so no to skilled lighting and composition however sure to messy sink throwdowns and well-used merchandise. Julia Rabinowitsch aka The Millennial Decorator (beneath) obtained the memo. “It’s a collection. I’ll use the identical setting, and I’ll conjure up what [an imaginary] lady’s bag seems like. Possibly it’s the sink collection, and this can be a horny lady, so she has her laundry and her merchandise and her crimson lipstick thrown within the sink. … There’s a narrative there,” she advised Shiny. On the finish of the day, ‘what’s in my purse’/‘on my lavatory shelf’ content material is the aspirational reward that retains on (and on) giving for manufacturers and IG nosy parkers (like myself).
SKIN ROCKS SUPERSIZE CLEANSER. Now obtainable: Caroline Hirons’ Pores and skin Rocks has simply supersized its glorious The Cream Cleanser to a 250ml tube*. My present go-to end-of-the-day cleanser, it’s ultra-creamy, ultra-indulgent, but slightly goes a great distance. Purchase it right here.*
THE SMELL OF SUMMER. What a deal with to listen to fragrance entrepreneur Christopher Yu (who helped introduce Diptyque to the UK) discussing all issues perfume on the Only a Style Minute podcast. One attention-grabbing takeaway: we’re all craving comforting, nostalgic smells in an more and more chaotic world, so gourmand fragrances, like vanilla and almond (prompt Playdoh recollections unlocked!) are performing nicely. I can barely verify this though my nostril is leaning much less gourmand and extra South of France seashore breeze. Within the new Dover Road Market Paris retailer a few weeks in the past, I used to be seduced by Comme des Garcons’ 2021 Marseille eau de toilette* (beneath), which is impressed by the well-known Savon de Marseille bar cleaning soap, however to me provides salty seaside vibes with a musk and neroli dry down. It’s tremendous mild and cooling, so splendid for muggy summer season days and nights.
AN IDEAL MAGNIFYING MIRROR. In the event you’re out there for a brand new shaving/make-up mirror, the Simply Look Plus from Décor Walther is implausible. I found it whereas staying on the Hôtel des Horlogers in Le Brassus and its built-in LED mild plus x 7 magnification make it simple for every part from on a regular basis grooming to precision eyeliner utility.
HAUTE FLUSH. Blusher is outwardly huge enterprise for the time being with gross sales within the status market up 60% in 2023, so brace your self for an inflow of ridiculously priced cheek colors. NARS Afterglow liquid blush* (£33) is on my radar and I’ve additionally heard good stories of Advantage’s Flush Balm* but it surely’s online-only and I’m a try-before-I-buy lady. (At £33 I need to make certain I’ll preserve it.) As an alternative, I’ve simply purchased & Different Tales Cheek & Lip Tint palette in Florentine Coral* (£17). I’ll report again…
WHAT THE BEAUTY EXPERTS *REALLY* USE. In the event you don’t comply with Jalil Johnson’s Substack, get your self subscribed. This current magnificence gossip with business specialists weighing in on his WhatsApp group chat was informative and genuine (trace: raves for Cosrx’s pimple patches and Dr Dennis Gross LED masks) with some nice holistic, non-product recommendation from Lesse (beneath) founder Neada Deters. Learn it right here.
CHANEL TRAVEL TAKEAWAYS. Chanel simply dropped its Chanel Make-up Takeaways, that includes two visitor edits from make-up artists Cécile Paravina and Valentina Li. Every unique “to go” journey set incorporates 4 well-loved Chanel merchandise reimagined in limited-edition shades. I like the ‘Metropolis Break’ set (£160, beneath) with its inexperienced ‘sandwich’ bag containing a liquid eyeshadow, two mirror shine lipsticks and a nail polish in Flesh, a vivid high-shine orange-red. Purchase it right here*.
OMOROVICZA QUEEN FACIAL. In the event you’re in want of a complexion-reviving facial for a summer season occasion, I can advocate Omorovicza’s Queen Facial on the Mayfair Institute in South Audley Road. The 80-minute remedy incorporates Omorovicza’s new actives-packed Queen Serum, plus Hungarian therapeutic massage strategies to sculpt and raise. Relaxation assured, it’s gentler than it sounds. Ask for Xhesilda and choose up a skin-plumping Queen Essence* when you’re there.
DON’T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN. It’s been a bummer of an early summer season thus far, however the solar has lastly emerged so don’t overlook your solar safety when out and about. I’m utilizing Byoma Moisturising Gel-cream with SPF 30* together with Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 30*. For the ‘clear magnificence’ choice, the brand new Antipodes Supernatural SPF50+ Facial Sunscreen (£34) is plastic-free, licensed vegan and full of ceramides.
