The 7 Best New Beauty Products To Try Now
From the lip balm collaboration to covet to the ultimate suits-all eyeshadow palette and the new skin finishers you’ll want in your kit, these are the latest launches you need to know about, as chosen by the NET-A-PORTER team
The luxe lip treatment Augustinus Bader x Sofia Coppola The Tinted Lip Balm collection
For those days (and nights) when you want a lip look without full-on color, Augustinus Bader’s The Tinted Lip Balms offer a luxurious alternative – and they come with an added seal of approval from filmmaker Sofia Coppola, whose love for the original lip balm led to this colored collaboration. You’ll get the same nourishing, hydrating, and plumping benefits as you do with the original (they’re infused with plant-based butters and oils and the brand’s signature TFC8 complex) in three ultra-sheer shades – a warm pink, a red coral and a deep plum – that deliver a ‘your lips but better’ effect perfect for the everyday or a soirée.

The mood-boosting candle Trudon Versailles Scented Candle
Trudon’s Versailles candle evokes the scent of the historical French palace’s legendary grand gardens. Boasting an opulent fragrant mix of thyme flower, mint, peony, rosemary, linden, tuberose, honeysuckle and blue iris, amongst other olfactive botanical gems, it’s surprisingly bright and uplifting rather than overly floral. The striking blend and ‘fresco’ blue glass holder elevates any space and comes in a supersized version and diffuser iteration too. Top it off with the Solis Rex gold-tone candle topper – engraved with a sun king emblem in ode to Louis XIV – for even more decorative power. Rosie Jameson, senior buyer
The wear-anywhere eyeshadow palette Westman Atelier Eye Pod Trio in Toujours
As the shade name suggests, this new trio of neutral eyeshadows – in Vanilla, Beige and Café Crème - from makeup artist supreme Gucci Westman is wearable everyday, all day and for any occasion. I love how failsafe the cream-to-powder formula is – apply a swipe of color to lids with your fingers or a brush for effortless definition that won’t look too ‘done’. Plus, the texture is so lightweight you can dial up the drama for evening with a few added layers of Café Crème to the corners of the eyelids and along the lashline, too.

The skin-perfecting cleanser 111Skin Exfoliating Enzyme Cleanser
When it comes to your cleansing routine, consider this powder exfoliator from 111Skin your finishing polish. It’s powered by papain enzymes (from papaya) which gently nibble away at dead skin cells and debris on the surface of the skin for a brighter, smoother canvas. A gentle AHA (from star anise) adds even more skin-sloughing power while the brand’s signature NAC Y2 complex ensures skin stays calm and feels restored. This is one exfoliator that’s truly gentle enough to use daily and gives and instant complexion refresh - I love it as the second step in my nightly double-cleansing routine.

The hand and nail SOS Aesop Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm
After the ravages of a summer well-spent (think dry plane air, sun, sand and saltwater) – or simple neglect – dry hands, ravaged cuticles and weakened nails are easily transformed with Aesop’s intensely hydrating hand balm. It’s packed with moisturizing heavy-hitters like shea butter and coconut and castor oils, which leave skin feeling silky not greasy. Plus, its woody, softly spicy scent (cedar atlas, patchouli, clove bud) delivers an extra layer of comforting goodness. Even better – it comes in a unique, chic lilac tube. MH
The filter-finish foundation Sisley Paris Phyto-Teint Nude Foundation
When it comes to choosing a new season foundation, if you’re looking for a second-skin finish that’s both buildable and longwearing, Sisley’s velvety formula is hard to beat. It gives that perfect blend of being nearly undetectable and is slightly mattifying, too, making it the ideal formula if you’re prone to any midday oiliness. You’ll also get hydrating and plumping benefits (thanks to hyaluronic acid) and a soft, lit-from within radiance, too. Norah Alhryshawi, buying assistant
The post-summer face mask to try La Mer The Deep Purifying Mask
Because SPF is notoriously difficult to remove, and dry, dull skin is such a concern at the end of summer, a once-weekly treatment to purge pores, brighten, refresh and renew skin is a must – and this new purifying mask from La Mer does the job perfectly. It’s creamy, cooling, unclogs pores in seconds and includes the brand’s signature Miracle Broth to smooth and soften fine lines at the same time. Packed with pretoxifying ferment of bamboo charcoal, sea salt and a whole bevy of antioxidants, expect brighter, tighter skin in minutes without any irritation leftover.
