“These Are The New Beauty Releases I’m Loving Right Now”

I am just going to go ahead and say it – this might just be the best product Dyson has ever released. The Airsmooth is Dyson’s first dedicated hot air brush and possibly its most intuitive product to date; I used it without reading the manual or watching any tutorials and was left with a salon-worthy blow dry. The teardrop-shaped brush grabs every hair with ease whilst also giving your hair enough tension to get the hair smooth without excess pulling or breakage. As someone with hair that is thick and frizzy, my litmus for new tools is pretty high. I’ve had the device for 3 days, and I am already looking forward to my next wash day just so I can use it. I think this is great for all hair types, at a great price point, and so easy to use.

If you love beauty, you are already aware of Hourglass’s highly-coveted annual Ambient Lighting palettes. This year’s edition sees the brand partner with French jewelry designer Lauren Rubinski for the sweetest themed palettes: Luck, Wish, Hope and Love, with limited-edition bronzer, blush and highlighter shades for you to perfect your lit-from-within glow. Hourglass has always felt totally luxurious to me, and these palettes are a great way to try their powders in one palette. They work on a range of skin tones, textures and ages!

Maybe one of the smartest moves Sol de Janeiro could have made? Expanding into candles. Known for their Brazilian-inspired scent, Sol de Janeiro has expanded their offerings to include candles in their iconic Cheriosa 62, 40 and 59 smells. With a burn time of 40 hours, gorgeous colourful packaging, and their potent scent makes a great gift. They’re Limited Edition, so grab them whilst you can – I’ll be burning mine and mentally holding on to the last bits of summer.

Fashion brands venturing into beauty can sometimes be hit or miss, but wow – Balenciaga have a major hit with 100%. It’s my new scent as we veer into these colder months; it’s a sexy, musky, and possibly the best rose fragrance I have ever smelt- grown-up and sophisticated but feminine, with various rose notes. 100% is my personal favorite, but the brand has a counter in Selfridges if you want to head down and find a smell that works for you. Also an honorary note for how gorgeous the bottle is?! 

Ireland’s fastest-growing beauty brand that has recently launched in Britain, Poco Beauty has really impressed me with their product range. It can feel like there are millions of eye and face masks on the market, so a brand has to really nail them to grab my attention, and these Hydrogel Eye Patches have. Firstly, no annoying sliding down your face! They stay in place as I make my coffee, reply to emails, and chase after my cats. They are a generous size and cover the eye area well, whilst also delivering deep hydration to the sensitive under-eye area. They’re made in South Korea, so you know you can trust the skincare benefits – I personally like keeping the pack in the fridge to wear first thing in the morning, or in between work calls at home.
