Best New Products For May 2026

01

Tatcha

Dewy Milk Moisturiser, £23.00

“While I'll always be a big fan of The Dewy Skin Cream, in the summer months I like to swap to the dewy milk for the same bouncy hydration and luminosity in a lighter texture. Like many people, I can’t be without the dewy skin range! Try it for yourself and you won't go back.” – Rebecca, Skincare Buyer

Simihaze Beauty

Colour Glaze Lip and Cheek Pigment, £25.00

“Honestly, I cannot recommend this blush more. The formula blends so easily with either your fingers or brush and looks just as good on bare skin or foundation. All you need to do is tap the balmy formula along your cheekbones and lips and you’re left with a gorgeous, radiant glow.” – Sam, Senior Makeup Buyer

Escentric Molecules

Cologne One, £130.00

"Escentric Molecules is one of my favourite independent fragrance brands, with experimental blends that always delight the senses. The new Cologne One is my new go-to. Inspired by the classic gin and tonic, it’s clean, fresh and great for layering. You have to give it a try." – Abigail, Junior Buyer, Fragrance.

Kate Somerville

Goat Milk Soothing Body Lotion, £39.00

“After a long day in the sun, my skin can become incredibly dry. I always reach for this body lotion to replenish the moisture I've lost. My skin feels soft, comfortable and restored straight away without any greasy residue, so I always have time for it when getting ready. I’ll always come back to this lotion!” – Yasmin, Assistant Hair, Sun, Bath & Body Buyer

K18 HAIR

TripleBright Oxidation Defense Purple Shampoo, £39.00

"K18 is my go-to haircare brand, and I have recently introduced this purple shampoo to my routine to keep brassiness at bay. I can honestly say it is one of the best I have ever used. You only need a tiny amount, leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing and your blonde will instantly look creamier." - Georgie, Senior Hair, Sun, Bath & Body Buyer

Chantecaille

Rose de Mai Face Oil, £188.00

“If you seek radiance from your skincare routine, you have to try the Rose de Mai range by Chantecaille. I’d start with this rosehip and evening primrose-infused face oil, which firms and evens out your skin tone while giving a refreshed, dewy glow. It’s 100% natural and feels so indulgent." - Abbie, Luxury Skincare Buyer

LA PRAIRIE

Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation Spf 15, £230.00

“Nothing screams luxury like perfect skin, and this foundation is popular for all the right reasons. While giving a natural dewy finish and blurring imperfections, the caviar extract's omega-3 fatty acids stimulate collagen production to feed your skin with plumping hydration." - Abbie, Luxury Skincare Buyer
