The Beauty Radar: August
THE SPF
Yudashkin Beauty Cooling Sun Stick SPF 50+
If you find reapplying SPF throughout the day a bit of a faff, this is worth knowing about. The stick format makes it easy to keep in your bag and swipe on as needed, while the clear formula means no white cast and no need to disturb your make-up. The cooling finish is particularly welcome in the heat, too.

A beauty editor’s summer essential? A portable fan. Dyson’s HushJet Mini Cool is designed for the Middle East heat, with a compact, wearable design that can also be handheld or placed on a desk. It has five airflow speeds plus a Boost mode, plus the HushJet nozzle delivers powerful cooling without the usual high-pitched whir.

THE FRAGRANCE
PHLUR Vanilla Canyon Eau de Parfum
If you’re a vanilla fragrance person but prefer something a little less sweet, PHLUR’s latest is worth a sniff. ‘Vanilla Canyon’ pairs Madagascar vanilla with velvet plum, wild honey, jasmine, patchouli and oak wood for a warmer, more grounded take on the note. It has a soft, woody depth that makes it feel more grown-up than your typical vanilla scent.

THE MAKE-UP COLLECTION
Dior Lucky Clover Collection
Dior’s latest limited-edition collection takes inspiration from one of the house’s most recognisable lucky symbols: the four-leaf clover. Across eyes, lips, cheeks and nails, expect rich greens, rosewood tones and autumnal shades, all finished with collectible clover-embossed details. Our pick? The Diorshow 5 Couleurs palettes – which are almost too pretty to use.

THE SLEEP MASK
Slip Club Wellness Blockout Sleep Mask
If you’re serious about your beauty sleep, Slip’s latest launch is one to know about. Made from the brand’s signature mulberry silk, the full-coverage mask blocks out light while helping to minimise the friction and tugging that can lead to sleep creases. We also like the cushioned fit and adjustable strap, which won’t pull at your hair.

THE LIP BALM
Anastasia Beverly Hills Kiss Theory Lip Balm
Somewhere between a balm, lipstick and gloss, this new launch from Anastasia Beverly Hills gives lips a glossy wash of colour with a comfortable, hydrating feel. The gel-balm texture is lightweight and non-sticky, while hyaluronic acid and vitamin E help keep lips feeling smooth. Plus, there are 12 shades, spanning soft nudes to richer reds and plums.

THE NIGHT REPAIR
Guerlain Abeille Royale Night-Taping Treatment & Midnight Secret
If your skin is showing the effects of late nights, Guerlain has reinvented two of its overnight staples. The new Night-Taping Treatment is a rich night cream designed to support skin’s natural repair process, while Midnight Secret is a late-night rescue formula focused on the extended eye area. Both use Guerlain’s Face-Taping technology alongside hyaluronic acid, caffeine and a vitamin C derivative.
