We’re at the halfway mark of the year, but the beauty world shows no sign of slowing down. Keep reading to discover the best of beauty in June 2024, and the treasures we’ve spotted amongst the many, many launches that came our way this month.
From updates to totally brand-new concepts, we’ve got everything covered. Chanel Beauty, YSL Beauty, and Dyson are all bringing exciting new drops in the name of innovation, and the crowd is loving it. Between the beautiful execution of the limited edition Chanel fragrance, the reconceptualisation of a beauty staple, and the exciting new features added to your favourite Dyson hair tool, it goes to show just how much is possible even within the current offerings we have on the table.
But of course, true to beauty’s form, there will always be new newness around the corner. As many wait for her R9 drop, Rihanna announced the arrival of Fenty Hair and her ambassadorship for J’Adore. For one who used to call out “Please don’t stop the music,” the singer sure is extending the pause in her music career to focus on this side of her business. Both designer and niche fragrance houses continue to churn out delectable olfactory treats that capture our sense of smell, and both skincare and makeup arrive to the scene with greater promises of efficacy.
Get Your Scoop on the Best of Beauty for June 2024:
You can’t tell us that the packaging has not already captured your hearts. The 2016 creation, made to flank the iconic Chanel N°5, is now reborn with an iconic flacon, one that exudes sophistication. Notes-wise, it mirrors the lightness and translucence through hints of aldehydes, a bouquet of zingy citruses, and, at best, a centring combination of cedar, white musk, and vanilla.
In this day and age, it seems like everything multitasks, and YSL’s latest lip product, the viral Loveshine Wet Shine lipstick, is doing just that. Delivering a full pigment load of colour while also nourishing the lips with a signature blend of treatment oils, the lipstick arrives in 11 delicious and modern shades.
Step aside, Rhode, because locally, Velvet Vanity has embraced the powers of peptides and is infusing them into their iconic Glo Lip Oil. If you loved the balm-gloss hybrid before, you can bet to fall even deeper in love with this one. Amping up the treatment factor of the product, the new version maintains a healthy dose of moisture while stimulating the production of collagen—all thanks to this new update.
If you loved its sibling, Erba Pura, then this should be the next Xerjoff perfume you add to your collection. Much more elaborate in nature, it shares similar top notes with its predecessor, save for the ginger, which gave it a spicy edge. With pear, green apple, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves at its heart, the playful symphony between fruity and spice continues in Erba Gold.
Exclusively available at Amaris MY.
Brows aren’t the only things that Anastasia Beverly Hills can do with zero fault. This time around, the brand brings the Serum Boosted Skin Tint, a flexible coverage product that’s made to imbue the skin with an impeccable, healthy glow. It gives just enough coverage to make it the perfect everyday foundation, and with all its skincare goodness (we’re talking peptides, collagen, and hyaluronic acid), we won’t be surprised if this makes it to the top of your makeup shelf.
On the hunt for the perfect perfume to wear out on a date? Look no further than the new Lancôme Idôle EDT. Bottled in the sleek flacon, the juice opens with a green tea accord and bergamot. At its heart, it’s a double dose of rose, housing Damask rose and rose water to envelop you in a romantic embrace. It’s perfect for spring and summer—which means it totally works all year long here.
No, this is not a face wash, but you can definitely apply this on the daily. The Vinoperfect Brightening Micropeel Foam is powerful enough to cut through gunk trapped in your pores in a matter of seconds, yet gentle enough for you to repeat it the next day. Using a combination of mandelic acid, AHAs, and grape water, the foam delivers exfoliation, and brightening and soothing effects in one bottle.
Whenever Dyson drops a new piece of hair technology, girls everywhere turn their attention to the product. This time, the object of everyone’s desire is the all-new Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer. It arrives with five intelligent attachments, which, over time, will be how the dryer detects your preferred styling modes. On top of knowing when to pause, it also goes into scalp protection mode when it gets in proximity. How’s that for innovation?
Though it may only be available in stores in July, we anticipate that this new coverage drop will be just what the doctor ordered. Promising to deliver a creamy matte finish, the new Dior Forever Skin Perfect will feel like second skin upon application. With an array of 18 shades awaiting you, you’re free to cover, sculpt, and highlight the face to your heart’s desire. The best part? You can expect it to lock into place for 24 hours—it simply won’t quit.
If there’s one thing you don’t want to skip, it’s got to be your nighttime treatment step, because that’s where you can count on getting the best outcome. One highlight in this particular area has to be the Vital Perfection LiftDefine Radiance Night Concentrate. Whether you’re battling a loss of firmness or dullness, this is the concentrate that can tackle the problem with a promise to turn the tide in just four weeks.
Juicy lips are always in, and thanks to 3CE, you can perfect yours. On top of this Drop Glow Gel—which, upon application, leaves your lips with a water-like shine—3CE is also hosting fans of the brand in-store to help them zero in on the most pleasing shade of the lippie to suit your skin tone. So if you’ve always wanted to go in for a colour consultation, then this is your chance to find out what season and tonality you are!
