Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil Golden Shimmer Glow
There’s nothing worse than a sticky lip gloss; one sharp gust of wind and you’ve got bloody hair stuck to your mouth. That’s why lip oils reign supreme this year, and Gisou are leading the charge via their signature lip oil that’s been given a little makeover for summer. Expect the same formula as their fan favourite Honey Infused Lip Oil but with an added dose of fine gold glitter. Perfect for catching the light as you pucker up.

Loewe Orange Blossom candle
According to Lyst, Loewe is currently the hottest brand in the entire world. We reckon the best – and most cost-effective – way of getting in on all the fun is by snapping up one of their new candles, specifically this orange blossom scented one. Its citrus-infused, earthy scent is the perfect antidote to a day spent in a stuffy office.

The INKEY List Blemish Clearing Moisturiser
It’s hard to go wrong with The Inkey List, whose affordable, ingredients-first skincare range has become an internet must-have over the last couple of years. Their latest creation: a blemish-banishing moisturiser that’s main active ingredient, NovoRetin, is a plant-based retinol alternative – perfect for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The star ingredient is even harvested from tree bark, would you believe. Doesn’t get much more natural than that.

Caudalie Smooth & Glow Oil Elixir
Calling all dry-skinned girlies: Caudalie’s new non-greasy hair and body oil promises to keep your skin super-smooth and split ends far, far away. It’s filled with prickly pear extract, which does wonders for elasticity and helps keep your skin barrier in good nick, as well as grapeseed oil for that much needed boost of antioxidants. God knows we need it.

Davines SU/Hair & Body Wash BAR
Hailed as “the Patagonia of beauty”, sustainably-minded brand Davines have built quite a reputation for themselves when it comes to haircare. Their latest innovation? This fruity shampoo bar, which lathers into a rich foam to hydrate and cleanse your scalp, skin and hair. We’ve heard shampoo bars are the way to go now, anyway: they’re more gentle, longer-lasting and generally better for the planet than their liquid counterparts.
