New Beauty the Harrods Beauty Team Loved This Month

“If I miss my usual water intake or fall short of my eight hours of sleep, it instantly shows up on my skin. Medik8's Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream has become my little miracle worker – leaving my skin bouncy, plump, and as if I’ve stuck to my perfect routine. Designed for both morning and night, this peptide-rich cream not only enhances my complexion but also supports my skin’s long-term resilience.” 

– Maya Prever, H beauty deputy content editor 

“A new essential in my skincare routine. I have combination skin, and The Balancing Treatment Lotion from La Mer helps to gently purify and even out my complexion, while still providing hydration and radiance. I use it day and night for optimal results.” 

– Federica Sinisi, skincare buyer

“Millésime Royal Mayfair by Creed is such a dreamy fruity-floral gourmand, delicious and just so pretty! It’s the perfect scent to welcome a new season, and I love how versatile it is – it will be your go-to for any occasion.” 

– Valerie Waite, fragrance buyer

“I don’t usually reach for all-in-one products – I’m more of a curl cream and gel kind of girl. But Gisou’s Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream surprised me. It works beautifully as a first step, softening, hydrating and smoothing frizz without weighing down my curls. For a super-defined look, you’ll want to follow it up with gel, but if you prefer a more natural style, this cream will leave your hair bouncy, shiny and healthy-looking. And obviously, as with all Gisou products, it smells delicious, too.”

– Nasreen Osman, deputy beauty editor

“This is a fantastic day and night serum that works hard to brighten your complexion, accelerate skin recovery and offer an instant lifting effect. Formulated with Evidens de Beauté’s Triple Collagen and the Repalift Complex, it delivers results that last.”

– Federica Sinisi, skincare buyer

“La Vie Est Belle gets another dreamy update, and as a longtime fan of the original, I couldn’t resist trying out this one. The Vanille Nude version is light enough for late summer days, but creamy vanilla and soft sandalwood give it a comforting warmth that makes it perfect for the shift into autumn. It’s smooth, subtly sweet and effortlessly elegant – an easy go-to for in-between seasons.”

– Anna Gosling, beauty assistant 

“Dolce & Gabbana has a way of balancing boldness with elegance, and this eyeshadow palette is proof. From the beautiful compact featuring the brand’s iconic Sacred Heart motif to the actual shade selection (I went with Chrome Star, which has both matte and glittery shades), it really ties in every outfit, from dusk to dawn.”

– Maya Avram, beauty writer

“The Radiance Edit Set is a must-have for when I am travelling, but also for carrying day to day in my gym bag. It's a curated selection of the Sunday Riley beauty essentials I need for glowy and hydrated skin on the go.”

– Federica Sinisi, skincare buyer

“Templespa’s Trufflelift Facial Oil reminded me how indulgent oils can be, especially as the weather cools. The cocooning formula is boosted with peptides, bakuchiol and vitamin C, with a silky (never greasy) texture that sinks into the skin beautifully. Just a few drops over serum at night leave my skin looking luminous and feeling deeply nourished, well into the morning.”

– Nasreen Osman, deputy beauty editor

“Charlotte Tilbury's Mattifying & Blurring Setting Spray must-have is one of the best long-wearing ones I have tried. With an even application, it kept my make-up intact all day and even lasted through a spin class – which gave it the true seal of approval!”

– Eve Fuller, make-up and international buyer 

“I don’t usually gravitate towards a matte lip, but the buttery, velvety texture of Prada Beauty’s Monochrome Lip Colours has changed my mind. The four new pink shades – ranging from soft nude to juicy berry – double up as blushes, and come housed in a sleek, refillable case that’s the definition of elevated efficiency. Blossom Pink is my go-to for that perfect ‘your-lips-but-better’ look, while the slightly brighter Sunset Pink gives my cheeks the ideal pop.”

– Anna Gosling, beauty assistant

“When I told my friend I’m testing out this essence, she went full fan-girl mode over how much she loves Eve Lom. Well, consider me a convert, because this innovative formula is both effective and featherlight. It contains botanics that act like retinol (but without the associated irritation) to renew and revitalise your complexion, while actives and peptides heal and nourish the skin barrier. The result is a glowing radiance that earned the essence a place in my regular edit.”

– Maya Avram, beauty writer

“This is Kayali's delicious gourmand oud, with notes of dark cocoa and vanilla. It's a beautiful, elegant evening scent that never fails to earn compliments.”

– Eve Fuller, make-up and international buyer
