Glow-Giving Make-Up
Meet the latest icons delivering effortless polish.
Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Gloss
Since being reformulated, Posh Gloss feels even better. It’s ultra-hydrating, non-sticky and beautifully glossy, delivering a polished finish with minimal effort. The shades are as gorgeous as ever, ranging from Champagne shimmer to milky brown, and the new addition Cabana is a lovely soft pink ideal for everyday wear.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Everything Bronzing Drops
Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Everything Bronzing Drops deliver a perfectly sun-kissed glow, with no sun exposure required. Infused with antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, they can be applied directly to the skin or mixed with your favourite moisturiser or foundation for a luminous, radiant finish. Effortless, elegant and unmistakably Sturm.

Prada Beauty Prada Touch Cream-to-Powder Color
I personally love that 'in a rush, quick swipe' nonchalant look of a blusher, where I swap out brushes for my fingers and apply instinctively instead of strategically. This is what gives that natural, summery flush of colour. And the Prada Touch Cream-to-Powder Color is my go-to for making that happen. It begins as a creamy formula, allowing for happy mistakes that melt beautifully into the skin, whether you're applying to a clean base or over a foundation. What takes this product up a level is how it transitions into a powder. This means no shifting around on the skin, with a long-lasting colour that doesn't require setting.

Guerlain KissKiss Honey-Infused Intense Lipstick
Guerlain always knows how to wow with both its formulas and its packaging, and the new KissKiss lipstick delivers on both. The formula feels genuinely comfortable, thanks to nourishing ingredients like honey and beeswax, and it gives a beautiful blurred effect that wears for hours without feeling drying. Plus, the refillable case means you can switch up shades depending on your make-up mood. Recently I’ve been reaching for Light Rose, a gorgeous pink that feels perfect for summer.

Charlotte Tilbury Exaggereyes Easy Eyeshadow Stick
Charlotte Tilbury’s eye launches are designed with ease and versatility in mind – the creamy glide‑on formulas deliver high-impact colour with minimal effort and are ideal for both everyday definition and more elevated looks. Shade-wise, Bronzed Garnet stands out for its depth, bringing a rich, burnished warmth that enhances and contours the eye in a single swipe. The result is a tailored eye look that feels effortless.

This exquisite new fragrance joins Loewe’s Crafted Collection and has been created exclusively for Harrods. Centred around a beautifully rendered coffee note, it feels modern, wearable and infused with that unmistakable Loewe subtlety.

BDK Parfums Stellar Silk Absolu de Parfum
I’m loving this new collection of absolu de parfums from BDK Parfums. It features three fragrances inspired by founder David Benedek’s years in fashion and three iconic style motifs – silk, animal print and sequins. My personal favourite is Stellar Silk: a beautifully refined composition built around soft vanilla notes. It’s sweet without tipping into excess, and it wraps around you with the same fluid elegance as a cascade of silk fabric. It is truly stunning.

Thameen Constellation Diamond Extrait de Parfum
Constellation Diamond is an instant yes. Saffron, vanilla, amber and a hit of raspberry mean it's one of those rare scents that transitions perfectly from daytime to evening. It has that warm, softly glowing quality that lingers in the nicest way, never overpowering, but always garners complements.

Exclusive
Lancôme Absolue Longevity Intercept The Cream
This range is one of the most innovative skincare launches I've seen for a while. The idea is that you choose a skincare solution based on your age and then it works with your skin to help strengthen and improve its health and longevity. Clever.

Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Youthful Vitality Serum
Medik8’s new serum is truly first of its kind. The breakthrough formula is powered by prismatic PDRN and a triple exosome complex to support the skin’s natural recovery processes, helping to improve resilience, refine texture and boost overall radiance, all while reinforcing the skin barrier. This has quickly become a staple in my routine.

Révive Renewal Refining Enzyme Essence
I try not to over-exfoliate in spring and summer, so enzyme exfoliants are usually my go-to. Révive’s newly upgraded Refining Enzyme Essence is ideal for daily use, gently buffing away surface build-up without ever leaving skin feeling dry or tight thanks to a blend of nourishing oils and emollients.

La Mer The Blue Heart Glow Collection
La Mer’s The Blue Heart Glow Collection is a celebration of La Mer's ocean‑inspired radiance. It includes the iconic Crème de la Mer and Renewal Oil; both formulas are powered by the brand’s signature Miracle Broth to cocoon the skin in deep hydration, helping to achieve a visibly smoother and softer complexion.

Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume
Gisou’s much-loved hair perfumes have returned in two new scents. Coco-Cacao pairs delicious milk chocolate with warm sandalwood, while Pineapple Pop blends sweet vanilla and juicy pineapple for a scent reminiscent of a beachside cocktail. Choose your favourite or layer the two to create a signature scent, then complete the ritual with the Coco-Cacao or Pineapple Pout lip oils.

La Bonne Brosse Limited Edition Lagoon Blue Collection
My hair is in much better condition since I've started using these brushes; they're seriously good at detangling without breaking your tresses. They've also become a go-to gift for family and friends so I'm delighted this new colourway has arrived that I can treat someone to.
