Chanel revisits hydration through the enduring symbol of the white camellia, a flower celebrated for its resilience and central to the House’s skincare philosophy. With its refreshed Hydra Beauty line, the focus shifts towards a more sensorial, intelligent approach to moisture, where efficacy is matched by texture and experience.
What stands out is the immediacy of its textures. Microfluidic technology suspends camellia extracts within visible micro-bubbles that burst on application, releasing a fresh surge of hydration and giving the skin an almost instant luminosity. The redesigned Micro Crème offers a cocooning, comforting finish suited to normal to dry skin, while the new Micro Gel Crème feels lighter and more breathable, ideal for normal to oily complexions. The ability to move between the two feels intuitive, adapting seamlessly to shifts in weather and skin condition.
The line extends thoughtfully to the lips with the Micro Sérum Lèvres, now offered in two nuanced scents, from crisp green apple to a softer blend of raspberry, blackcurrant and rose. Light yet deeply hydrating, it smooths and subtly plumps, creating the perfect base for colour.
It is a modern take on hydration: sensorial, adaptable and undeniably refined. Chanel.com
Guerlain turns its attention to the eye area with a more refined take on repair, drawing on the Abeille Royale line’s long-standing relationship with bee-derived ingredients. With Youth Repair Eye Care, a high concentration of Black Bee honeys meets a fresh, gel cream texture that feels cooling and smoothing on application. It’s less about instant transformation and more about consistent, visible improvement: fine lines appear softened, fatigue looks diminished and the eye contour gradually feels firmer and better supported. There’s a subtle plumping effect thanks to hyaluronic acid, while the formula’s light second skin finish lends a smoother, more rested look.
The result is an eye treatment that feels considered rather than corrective, bringing a softer, more resilient quality to the gaze over time. Guerlain.com
Burberry rethinks the modern matte with Brit Matte Liquid Lipstick, a formula that brings comfort and care into a category long defined by dryness. The lightweight, cushiony texture glides with surprising ease, depositing rich pigment while diffusing into a soft-focus finish that can be built from a sheer veil to a bolder statement.
At its core, a lip-care complex of collagen, hyaluronic acid and Damask rose works to hydrate instantly and over time, helping to support the lip barrier and fend off dehydration. The twistable design reveals a sponge applicator that makes precision feel intuitive rather than technical. The result is a matte that wears with flexibility, leaving lips smoother, softer and more refined throughout the day.
Offered in six shades spanning understated neutrals and richer tones, the lipsticks feel aligned with Burberry’s polished, effortless approach to beauty. Burberry.com
Founded in 1760, The House of Creed has spent over seven generations refining a singular vision of haute perfumery, where British heritage meets French savoir-faire. Its meticulous approach to craftsmanship remains central, with rare natural ingredients hand-selected, weighed and aged to create fragrances of enduring elegance.
With Wild Vetiver, the latest launch, Creed revisits a storied ingredient through a more untamed lens. Hand-harvested timur berry opens with a bright, spiced clarity, softening into rose Centifolia and green facets before settling into a fluid trail of vetiver, cedarwood and amberwood. The effect is both composed and subtly subversive, evoking the ease of an English garden party that drifts gently into the wild, balancing structure with a sense of instinctive, modern freedom. It is one of those uplifting fragrances that leaves you feeling confidently, effortlessly at home in your own skin. Creedfragrance.com
Tubing mascara is quietly redefining lashes. Unlike traditional formulas, it wraps each lash in flexible polymer tubes, delivering length, definition and impressive staying power without smudging or flaking. It wears effortlessly throughout the day, then slides off with warm water, making removal refreshingly simple.
Urban Decay’s take, Tube Job, leans into the trend with a high-performance edge. Expect weightless lift, clean separation and up to 24-hour hold, powered by a serum-infused formula that cares for lashes as it enhances. Available in five shades, it lends itself to buildable definition that holds beautifully from vows to the last dance. Urbandecay.com
Charlotte Tilbury reimagines effortless eye make-up with its new Exagger‑Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Sticks, an intuitive addition to the beloved franchise.

Powered by self‑priming pigments and colour‑boosting technology, each stick offers long‑wearing, crease‑proof performance without compromising comfort. The edit spans 12 universally flattering shades, balancing matte blur tones for structure with satin finishes that bring light and luminosity. Among them, Ballet Quartz stands out,
a fresh, softly frosted pink that lends itself particularly well to a whimsical bridal beauty mood, enhancing the eyes with a delicate, light‑catching lift. Charlottetilbury.com
