From overnight skincare powered by Black Bee honey to a limited-edition beauty collaboration, K-beauty newcomers and summer-ready makeup staples, this month’s beauty must haves cover every step of your routine.
Guerlain Introduces Two New Overnight Treatments
Guerlain is expanding its Abeille Royale range with two new overnight skincare launches designed to support the skin’s natural repair process while you sleep. Backed by fifteen years of research into bee-derived ingredients and skin repair, the latest additions combine the brand’s signature Black Bee honey technology with its patented Face-Taping technology.
Leading the launch is the Abeille Royale Night-Taping Treatment, a night cream formulated with three repairing Black Bee honeys and royal jelly to help improve firmness, redefine facial contours and support collagen production overnight. With 96% naturally derived ingredients, the cream delivers an immediate lifting effect while working over time to target visible signs of sagging skin.
Joining it is the reinvented Midnight Secret, Guerlain’s cult overnight rescue treatment, now reimagined as an intensive formula for the extended eye area. Designed for nights when sleep is in short supply, it combines Ouessant Black Bee honey, hyaluronic acid, caffeine and a vitamin C derivative to target dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and dullness, helping skin look more refreshed by morning. Formulated with 97% naturally derived ingredients, it’s created to tackle the visible effects of late nights in a single step.
The launches continue Guerlain’s longstanding focus on combining nature with scientific innovation, using sustainably sourced bee products at the heart of its skincare research.
Lush Launches Fresh, Handmade Skincare and Haircare Made in Dubai
Lush has expanded its fresh skincare and haircare offering with a new collection handmade locally at its Jebel Ali manufacturing hub in Dubai. By producing the range in the UAE, the brand is able to deliver around 25 preservative-free products to customers while they’re at peak freshness.
Among the new launches are the Family Face Time Mask, a hydrating face mask made with oatmeal and aloe vera that’s suitable for ages three and up, the playful Facial Gummy Washes, infused with ingredients such as honey and vitamin C-rich strawberries and the Green Shoots Hair Food, a nourishing hair treatment featuring fresh banana, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar to boost shine and hydration.
The launch also highlights Lush’s ongoing sustainability efforts in the UAE. Through its partnership with local start-up The Waste Lab, organic by-products generated during production, including fruit peels and herb stalks, are composted and returned to local farms, supporting soil health while contributing to the UAE’s broader zero-landfill ambitions.
The collection is now available in Lush stores across the UAE, online and through the Lush app.

Shark Launches ChillPill, a 3-in-1 Personal Cooling System for Life on the Go
Staying cool in the UAE just got a whole lot easier. Shark has introduced the ChillPill, a portable 3-in-1 personal cooling system designed to make commutes, workouts, travel days and time outdoors more comfortable.
Compact enough to wear, carry or place on a desk, the device combines three cooling functions in one: a high-speed fan, an evaporative mist and an InstaChill cooling plate that delivers contact-based cooling to help lower skin temperature. The interchangeable attachments allow users to switch between airflow, a refreshing facial mist and direct cooling depending on the situation.
Built for all-day use, ChillPill offers up to 11 hours of battery life in fan mode and is available in four colourways: Matcha Green, Carbon Black, Iced Latte Ivory and Glacier Blue. The latter two include a travel case and crossbody strap, while all models are designed to be as practical as they are portable.
Available now across the UAE, the Shark ChillPill starts from AED 699, with premium colourways priced at AED 799, and can be purchased through the Shark UAE website and selected retailers.
Saie and Karen Wazen Launch a Limited-Edition Collaboration
Clean beauty brand Saie has teamed up with Dubai-based entrepreneur Karen Wazen for a limited-edition collaboration that brings together beauty and accessories in one thoughtfully curated collection. The partnership marks the coming together of two female-founded brands known for their effortless approach to style and everyday essentials.
At the centre of the launch is an exclusive cat-eye sunglasses design, crafted from premium black acetate with subtle gold co-branding and 100% UV protection. Designed to complement a modern, understated wardrobe, the frame is paired with Karen Wazen’s edit of Saie favourites, including the Glossy Bounce Hydrating Lip Oil and Lip Liner 101, all presented in a co-branded version of the signature Karen Wazen pillow pouch with dedicated compartments for beauty essentials.
The collaboration reflects the shared philosophy behind both brands: enhancing natural beauty through timeless, versatile pieces that fit seamlessly into everyday life. The collection can be shopped through Saie and Karen Wazen’s online stores, as well as Karen Wazen retail locations, where customers purchasing the exclusive sunglasses will also receive complimentary Saie product samples while stocks last.
