Best New Beauty Arrivals of July, Tried and Tested
Words by Maya Avram
Summer beauty hits different. Skincare staples become light and energising, make-up evokes a vibrant sense of play and fragrance lingers in delectable notes that make memories feel even more special. It’s the perfect time to try out new colours, formulations and textures, and, if you ask the Harrods Beauty team, these exciting new launches are the place to start.
Tatcha The Water Cream
“Tatcha's Water Cream is an absolute staple in my skincare routine. It delivers a gorgeous glow, leaving my skin extra hydrated without feeling weighed down. I always pick this product up for a little moment of luxury.”
Paige Wilson, assistant skincare buyer
Elemis x Aston Martin
"If ever you needed proof of high-performance skincare, this would be it – it comes F1-approved, after all. I personally love differentiating my AM and PM routines, and so this day cream is perfect for hydrating and protecting my skin against the elements, while the night cream, which is richer in texture, leaves my skin looking luminous by morning."
Nasreen Osman, deputy beauty editor
Jo Malone London Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense
Worldwide Exclusive
“This fragrance really does transport you and make you feel like you are in the Andalusian sun. The ambery notes of labdanum complement the vanilla and roasted oak, creating a warm, sensual and truly unisex fragrance.”
Valerie Waite, fragrance buyer
GHD Pink Sorbet Collection
“GHD tools have always been a firm favourite in my hair routine. The limited-edition Pink Sorbet collection not only delivers high-performance technology but also has a commitment to breast cancer awareness. The collection isn’t just about looking good – it’s about feeling good. If you’re ready to elevate your hair game with a splash of pink, these tools deserve a spot on your vanity.”
Lottie Vine, assistant skincare buyer
Coming Soon
Armani Privé Cuir Nu
Exclusive
“This perfume captures the sensuality of leather and balances it with oud and coffee notes, as well as rose. It's a gorgeous, deep scent that’s powerful and long-lasting.”
Federica Sinisi, make-up and international buyer
Coming Soon
Carolina Herrera Confidential Chic
“Ideal for everyday wear, this is one of those scents that makes you feel instantly pulled together. Crisp bergamot and cottony aldehydes offer that just-showered freshness, softened by cedar and musk for a smooth, airy finish.”
Anna Gosling, beauty assistant
Nars Afterglow Lip Oil
“A fun and playful edit of limited-edition makeup staples, Nars’ The Beauty Transformed Collection is perfect for fresh summer looks. My personal favourite is the Afterglow Lip Oil, worn either alone or on top of lip liner for a long-lasting effect.”
Federica Sinisi, make-up and international buyer
Ex Nihilo Scarlet Sands
“This is such a beautiful scent – raspberry, jasmine, and amber blend together to capture the warmth of Dubai and those fiery red sunsets.”
Valerie Waite, fragrance buyer
Joonbyrd Guilty Treasures Chest
"Contrary to its name, this treasure trove of bodycare will leave you feeling anything but guilty. All six gems have been created to uplift your mood, either by scent or feel (or both), but I especially love the Moon Swim Body Wash and Little Love Body Lotion. The gel cream formula of the body wash is lightweight and lathers easily into a foam texture without feeling sudsy. Then, the body lotion sinks into the skin without a hitch, delivering good skin stuff like niacinamide, amino acids and a superfruit blend."
Nasreen Osman, deputy beauty editor
Huda Beauty Lip Contour Stain
“From my For You TikTok page to my everyday make-up bag, these Huda Beauty lip stains have quickly become a summer staple. The formula is lightweight but seriously long-lasting, with up to 12 hours of smudge-proof colour that still looks fresh – even after an Aperol or two. I love how it enhances my natural lip shape without feeling heavy. Top tip: I use the thinner edge to softly line first, then the flat side to fill in. Turns out, lip symmetry is achievable after all.”
