After twenty-plus years as a beauty journalist, you know you’re in the right job when you still feel like a kid in a sweet shop browsing the ‘new in’ section of a beauty website. Keeping in-the-know about the latest skincare innovations, make-up formulations and fragrance launches constantly reignites my love of all of it and this month I’ve shared the 13 sparkly new arrivals at Cult Beauty that I can’t wait to get my mitts on.

Westman Atelier


Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Soleil
Super Loaded Tinted Highlight In Peau De Soleil Copy

Just as our skin emerges from its grey winter pallor, Gucci Westman launches the blusher that we all need right now. A super-charged mix of colour and skin-illuminating highlight to imbue that health and radiance we have all missed this winter. Buy it.


Super Goop!


Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tiny SPF 50
Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tiny SPF 50 Copy

Whilst I wear SPF daily all year round, in summer I want a one-stop shop. I love a lightweight SPF and skin tint in one and this rub-it-in-and-go formula is going to give me the hint of colour and all-day protection I want . Buy it.


Jo Malone


Beach Blossom Cologne, £124
Beach Blossom Cologne, £124

I’m a fickle beauty buyer and whilst in the depths of winter, I want snuggly oud and spice from my fragrance, as soon as the mercury hits the teens, it’s all about the tropical notes. Jo Malone’s latest launch looks to fit the bill perfectly; inspired by the Seychelles, there is a mix of coconut water, sparkling lime and mint, vanilla and skin-warming tonka bean. Buy it.


Fenty Beauty


You Mist Setting Spray, £28
You Mist Setting Spray, £28 Copy

Talking of mercury rising, a setting spray is always an addition to my routine in the heat to help my make-up stay put. This one from Fenty is sweat-, water-, transfer- and humidity-proof for 12-hours with one spritz. Buy it.


Caudalie


Premium Cru Eye Cream, £45
Premium Cru Eye Cream, £45 Copy

I always skipped the eye cream in my twenties, but have been duly humbled as I’ve hit my forties and find myself looking for something to quite literally paper over the cracks. This one from Caudalie looks promising, with a cooling, depuffing metal applicator and pearlised pigments to instantly illuminate dark circles while the patented formula gets to work for long-term results. Buy it.


Ouai


Body Creme In St Barts, £20
Body Creme In St Barts, £20 Copy

A whipped, buttery texture in a sun-drenched fragrance of orange blossom, tuberose and musk. If anything can revive my winter limbs and get me in the mood for summer, this is it. Buy it.


dpHUE


Gloss + Toning conditioner For Brown Hair, £35
Gloss + Toning Conditioner For Brown Hair, £35

It’s not just blondes that need toning shampoos. Us brunettes suffer from brassiness too, especially if you are partial to a bit of balayage as I am. This genius toner will help keep on top of my tone between salon appointments with just five minutes in the shower. Buy it.


Chantecaille


Sheer Lip Sheen, £34
Sheer Lip Sheen, £34

A seasonal shift from bold, matte lips to a sheer swipe of colour is just what the weatherman ordered. I love the look of these nourishing formulas from Chantecaille in spring pops of colour. Buy it.


Charlotte Tilbury


Beautiful Skin Island Glow Easy Tanning Drops, £38
Beautiful Skin Island Glow Easy Tanning Drops, £38

‘Easy’ is just the word I want to hear when it comes to self-tanning: and lo, here we have a foolproof, natural boost of colour with built-in skincare benefits too. Sold. Buy it.


Pai


Gentle Genius Barrier Care Wet Skin Moisturiser, £30
Gentle Genius Barrier Care Wet Skin Moisturiser, £30

I love the idea of this in-shower serum-texture moisturiser. As we start to unravel from our winter knits, focusing on my body care to prioritise healthy and hydrated skin is a key spring beauty goal. Buy it.


Corpus


Pomelo Deodorant Spray, £24
Pomelo Deodorant Spray, £24

I’ve been a long-time convert of ‘clean’ formula deodorants and this one from Corpus sounds delicious. With prebiotics to actually tackle the bacteria that cause odour and a refreshing pomelo scent, I’ll be giving this a whirl. Buy it.


Malin Goetz


Sage Candle, £56
Sage Candle, £56 Copy

A deep exhale in a candle, with grounding, earthy sage: the perfect thing to transition from season to season, mindfully. Buy it.


Kayali


Fleur Majesty Royalty Rose Eau de Parfum, £107
Fleur Majesty Royalty Rose Eau De Parfum, £107 Copy

Romantic, sensual with a splash of citrus to stop it being too sweetly cloying, we’re excited about this new fragrance from Kayali. For those feminine floral lovers this spring. Buy it.
