Mysterious femininity Love Hibiscus joins the four existing Secret Garden perfumes bringing a delectable new dimension to Amouage’s story of the modern woman. The hibiscus note is unmistakable: tart, berry-like, herbaceous and earthy. Next to it appears the salted caramel accord: sweet, buttery, creamy and caramelised. Bridging the gap is a blend of complementary notes with passion fruit playing a crucial role. Frankincense, meanwhile, possesses a smooth, luminous, woody profile. Finally, sandalwood, cypriol and vanilla bring the heft and depth that allows the scent to become truly indulgent. Available exclusively at Selfridges, 100ml £320. Juicy gloss energy I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I’m in love with the supercute packaging of Daise’s new Peptide Lip Butter Balms. Fortunately, in this case, the contents is every bit as good. Hydrating, glossy and tinted, these balms are designed to nourish, smooth and soften with the cutest collectible charms to match your mood. Infused with peptides, shea butter and meadowfoam seed oil, these rich, but never sticky, balms melt effortlessly onto lips, leaving them butter-soft, glossy and naturally radiant. £5, available at Superdrug, Boots and Tesco. For 2026 brides, big-day beauty is all about luminous skin, soft definition and makeup that enhances rather than masks. This ongoing trend in minimalist bridal looks means that glowing, healthy skin is the true centrepiece. Enter Odylique’s new Cream Foundation SPF25 with a rich, nourishing texture ideal for buildable coverage. This water-free formula leaves an even-toned satin finish, making it the best option for extremely dry skin.

The hydrating gel formula glides on effortlessly and evenly, delivering a sheer wash of colour that’s easily buildable to the intensity you seek. £30, lookfantastic.com I have to admit, harnessing the power of gemstones in skin care is a new one on me! But that’s just what Gemma Atkinson’s new brand does. Each product is formulated with gemstone extracts selected for their proven, multi-action skin and hair benefits. The range currently features the Nourishing Cream Cleanser (£15), Boost & Protect: Energising Body Lotion (£22), Revive & Refresh: Hair & Scalp Mist (£19) and Replenish & Rescue: Hydrating Face Cream (£28). I’m particularly fond of the latter, which uses hematite to help boost collagen and skin renewal, quartz extract for radiance, and azelaic acid to calm inflammation and improve texture. With squalane and sodium hyaluronate for intense hydration, it delivers visible results without overcomplicating your routine. Available at gemandtonic.shop What a gem HYDRATE, REVITALISE SUPERCHARGE At the heart of Blue Lagoon Skin Science is its signature face mask collection, inspired by Iceland’s unique geothermal elements. For me and my woefully dehydrated skin, the Mineral Mask is the go-to. A lightweight, refreshing face mask, it delivers mercifully intense hydration and boosts moisture levels. Its key ingredient of Blue Lagoon Seawater supercharges the skin with electrolytes, boosting the mask’s overall performance. Use as a quick 10-minute boost or as an overnight hydrating treatment. 30ml, £38 or 75ml, £80, uk.skinscience.bluelagoon.com BEAUTY NEWS 77
