The hydrating counterpart to Fenty Beauty’s internet-breaking Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation is here, and it’s the brand’s biggest launch of 2024. Dubbed “golden hour in a bottle” by RiRi herself, this formula offers the same buildable longwear coverage as the OG Soft Matte foundation, but caters to those who prefer a dewier, lighter look. My skin is on the dehydrated side, and a single pump managed to bring my complexion back to life. With a touch more product I was able to get enough coverage to even out my skin without looking like I was wearing makeup (a must when it comes to foundation, IMO.) While this product favours dry and dehydrated skin types, it’s flexible enough to suit combo and dry skin, depending how much product you apply. It’s sweat-, humidity- and transfer-proof too, so give it a try if you’re looking for a new summer staple.

There’s nothing more distracting than dry hands, and if you’re anything like me, you have a hand cream in every bag, coat pocket, and counter in your living space to avoid this common annoyance.  Given that hand cream is one of my most-used beauty products, I love to indulge in a great quality formula that I’ll actually look forward to applying. Enter Aesop’s latest Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, an intensely hydrating, non-greasy formula that leaves your skin feeling immaculate and smelling heavenly. Cedar atlas, patchouli and clove bud come together to create a refreshing, earthy fragrance that’s so luxurious and very on-brand for Aesop. Housed in a pretty lavender tube–and also available in a 500 mL size to match the brand’s bestselling hand soaps–this is one hand cream you’ll be proud to have on display.

When warmer weather hits, I like to keep my skincare as lightweight as possible. So when samples of Elizabeth Arden’s new White Tea Skin Solutions landed on my desk, it immediately sparked my interest. Starring white tea leaf (one of the richest sources of antioxidants around), every product is meant to hydrate, smooth and brighten your skin, no matter your sensitivity level. My favourite product was the micro-gel cream, which has a truly unique texture. It’s made up of thousands of tiny “micro droplets” that burst as you apply the product so you can feel the hydration sinking into your skin in real time. Not to mention the barely-there white tea scent, which smells an afternoon at the spa. Bliss.

Known for its Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter, refillable and clean beauty brand Josie Maran has taken the star ingredient of its most famous product and bottled it up in a convenient dropper formula. The Original 100% Pure Organic Moisturizing Argan Oil is as simple as beauty can get: it’s made up of 100% pure argan oil–that’s it. Use it on skin, hair and nails, or wherever you need a little extra softness. I love applying it to my cuticles before bed and on the ends of my hair for a glossy finish, and even add a few drops to whatever body lotion I have on hand to make it extra luxurious. A little goes a long way, so invest in the 90 mL refill and you’ll be good for the season.
