From luxury lip colour and lightweight summer skincare to clever styling tools and playful bath-time treats, this week’s edit brings together the beauty products that have caught our attention for all the right reasons.
Gucci Beauty Glow Oil-In-Water Tint
Gucci Beauty’s latest lip launch blurs the line between skincare and makeup with a formula that combines the shine of a lip oil, the comfort of a balm and the staying power of a lip tint. The lightweight Oil-In-Water Tint delivers a fresh, glossy finish on application before settling into a lasting wash of colour, making it an easy everyday option for anyone who wants hydration without sacrificing pigment.
Powered by a formula made up of 99% skincare-based ingredients, it features hyaluronic acid, cranberry biopeptides and Gucci Beauty’s signature black rose extract to help keep lips feeling soft and moisturised throughout the day. Available in eight wearable shades, including returning favourites and five new additions, it’s a polished handbag essential that feels every bit as luxurious as you’d expect from the House.
Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Rose Collection
When temperatures rise, skincare routines tend to become lighter, and that’s exactly where Santa Maria Novella’s Acqua di Rose collection comes into its own. Inspired by the refreshing properties of Rosa Damascena, the collection offers a complete routine centred on hydration and comfort without weighing skin down.
The ritual begins with Acqua di Rose, a revitalising floral water, before layering on hydration with the Acqua di Rose Serum and lightweight Acqua di Rose Cream. Those looking for an even fresher finish can opt for the Gel Cream, whose airy texture absorbs quickly while delivering lasting moisture. Together, the collection offers an elegant approach to summer skincare, pairing botanical ingredients with one of Florence’s oldest beauty houses.
Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer
Few beauty tools have generated as much excitement in recent years as the all-in-one air styler, and Shark’s FlexStyle continues to prove why. Transforming from a powerful hair dryer into a versatile styling wand with a simple twist, it comes equipped with interchangeable attachments for curling, smoothing, straightening, volumising and defining hair.
Rather than relying on extreme heat, the FlexStyle continuously regulates temperature to help minimise heat damage while still delivering sleek, glossy results. From polished blow-dries to bouncy curls and defined natural texture, it’s a multitasking tool that rightfully earns its place on the bathroom counter.
HI DARLING Lash Genie Mascara
Sometimes the biggest upgrade comes from the smallest detail. HI DARLING’s Lash Genie Mascara centres around a slim 3D micro brush designed to reach every lash, including the tiny inner-corner and lower lashes that traditional wands often miss.
Its lightweight, buildable formula allows you to tailor the finish from soft daytime definition to fuller evening glamour without leaving lashes feeling heavy or stiff. It’s a practical addition to any makeup bag and a reminder that great mascara is just as much about the applicator as it is the formula.
Lush x Hello Kitty And Friends
Lush is bringing Sanrio’s Hello Kitty And Friends back, but this time, with some new friends to join in the fun. Last year’s Lush x Hello Kitty collaboration quickly became a fan favourite, and this year’s return expands the collection with even more beloved Sanrio characters. The new collection builds on the theme of ‘friendship as self-care’, inviting everyone to indulge in playful, feel-good products that can be shared, gifted or enjoyed solo!
Joining Hello Kitty are favourites including Pompompurin, Gudetama, Kerokerokeroppi, Pochacco, Hangyodon and Bad Badtz-Maru, each transformed into playful bath and body products guaranteed to make self-care feel a lot more fun.
The collection includes bath bombs, shower jellies, shower gummies, soaps and dusting powders inspired by each character and paired with cheerful fragrances ranging from citrus and bubblegum to banana ice cream and raspberry. Along with their nostalgic appeal, the products feature ingredients such as coconut milk, olive oil, charcoal and seaweed, bringing together Lush’s signature formulas with Sanrio’s unmistakable charm.
The Lush x Hello Kitty and Friends collection is available via Lush Club via the Lush app, online and in Lush shops across the UAE.
