Just look to K-beauty favourite Beauty of Joseon.
For all this and more, see our edit of the hottest beauty drops you need on your radar.
Glow Recipe Lip Glass Balm

K-Beauty label Glow Recipe has taken inspiration from a popular South Korean dessert for its latest launch. The Glass Balm is designed to replicate the shine of bingsoo, a delicacy made of shaved ice and topped with the likes of fruit or red bean.
In the same vein, the lip product is made from fruit extracts that are rich in antioxidants to shield the pout as well as glycerin and hyaluronic acid spheres to bring hydration and support the skin barrier.
Oribe Gold Lust Restorative Night Crème for Hair

Designed to restore your strands while you snooze, luxurious hair label Oribe has created the Gold Lust Restorative Night Crème. Much like you would lather face care to absorb while you catch your eight hours, the same is true for your hair.
It is a lightweight texture that won’t just transfer onto the pillow and instead will call on the brand’s Biomimetic Repair Technology to seal and repair split ends, enhance shine and softness and fortify to prevent future breakage.
In the signature Oribe attention to detail, the brand has infused eucalyptus oil into the formula to incorporate calming, sleep-inducing aromas into your nightly practice.
Prada Light Glowing Lip Colour

There are five new shades added to Prada Beauty’s lip collection, and they’re all about imparting the glow that ambassador Sabrina Carpenter is known for.
The shades of red, pink and brown glide onto the pout with passion fruit oil and the nourishing benefits of the reparative natural probiotic that is Bifidus extract. There are also technologically advanced Micro-Pixel Pearls that reflect the light for a high-wattage shine.
Lancôme Juicy Tubes

The Lancôme Juicy Tubes defined a generation of makeup wearers in the Noughties. It’s so iconic that it has played a supporting role in some of the most memorable moments in pop culture – from Gossip Girl’s Blair and Chuck limo kiss to A Cinderella Story’s Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray rain scene. And now it’s back.
Cue the Y2K nostalgia as the high-shine lip glosses are set to define summer 2025. The lip heroes come in an array of shades and are scented with a sweet aroma.
Living Proof Style Lab Flex Hairspray

Already a top-selling product across the Atlantic, Flex Hairspray has landed on UK shores. Professional hair stylists in the US have had the formula in their arsenal to lock in the locks of their celebrity clients, whether they’re creating effortless beach waves or sophisticated updos.
It harnesses what the brand refers to as Flexible Web Technology. This is made up of firm and flexible polymers that offer hold without that crunchy texture. In fact, one of the priorities for the experts behind Living Proof when creating it was to ensure a ‘touchable’ finish, so that your hair looks and feels natural. There is also vitamin B5 added to bring shine and heat protection up to 210°C.
PHLUR Peach Skin Body Mist

With each new drop from PHLUR, its loyal fan base grows – and the unveiling of Peach Skin is set to do the same.
The nostalgic aroma from this fruity and juicy concoction is sure to win a brand new audience of sun worshippers who want to recreate that tropical holiday feel no matter where they are in the world.
The body mist is a lighter alternative to a typical fragrance, and we find ourselves liberally spritzing from head to toe. It opens with notes of plum and bellini before evolving into a creamy combination of sandalwood, amber and coconut caramel.
Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Sunscreen Fluid

The principles of Korean makeup are not about masking your skin with camouflaging products but instead celebrating and enhancing your natural beauty with second-skin-like formulations.
So, with that in mind, may we introduce you to Beauty of Joseon’s Daily Tinted Sunscreen Fluid, a tinted SPF that boosts the radiance of your complexion with a subtle, sheer coverage. This is in no way a foundation but a skin-first approach to evening out the complexion, while protecting against external aggressors with SPF30.
Glossier Lip Glaze

Lather the Glossier Lip Glaze onto your lips for a wash of hydration and a healthy sheen. The new formula from the brand comes in six shades and melts as soon as it comes into contact with your skin.
It has an oil base with apricot and raspberry seed oil as the foundation of the formula, two nourishing ingredients that are paired with shea butter to take it to the next level. These elements ensure that it glides on and leaves your pout feeling soft and flake-free. For an extra hit, there is also a minty inclusion that acts as a cooling touch and ensures that this is a staple in your summer selection.
