What’s Good: New Beauty To Try Right Now
Here’s the best new beauty releases in July.
Peak winter may have hit, but the new beauty rolling in is hotter than ever. Pink is the colour of the season (sorry red girlies), with some gorgeous new lip, cheek and even hair products rolling in to keep us warm.
What else is hot? Our hair, that’s what. So many new hair tools, tinctures and tonics to help improve our scalp, roots and locks throughout the chilly season. There’s even a few dupes for *ahem* our favourite high-end products that have recently been released.
Colour-lovers can rejoice with fresh new mascaras coming our way in bold shades, as well as some sun-loving collections to take away on Euro Summer trips. This month we’re also seeing a few new bodycare products hit the shelves in delectable scents and textures, as well as the arrival of a much-anticipated cult favourite in MECCA that you HAVE to try.
Looking to refresh your beauty bag? Let me be your enabler — read on for all my new beauty recommendations.
