Your skin’s going to love this one. If you’ve been waiting for Moom to drop powder supplements for the skin, the Glow Guard is just that. Formulated with Astaxanthin, Glutathione, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid, the latest drop from the wellness brand is aiming to protect the skin from UV stressors as well as fortify it with a dose of hydration from within.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Essence-In-Lotion
It’s not just a toner, it’s an essence-in-lotion—a watery solution that hosts much more benefits for the skin. Designed to help the formulas following this one to perform with better efficacy, the product is packed with protective antioxidants and a nutrient-rich green microalgae. Clinically proven to double the skin’s hydration level with just one use, apply it after cleansing and see just how much this lightweight fluid can do.

YSL Beauty Libre Berry Crush
The iconic YSL Libre is getting a new flanker, and it’s just as dynamic as the original. Featuring the delectable and jammy note of raspberry and creamy richness of coconut, this iteration is a playful take on the more formal predecessor. If the classic feels a tad too serious for your daily wear, then this is made just for that. It’s cheeky, but it retains that level of class that Libre stands for.

Hourglass Unreal Liquid Highlighter
Leave it to Hourglass to revive the love for highlighters. The world already adores the Ambient Lighting Powders for how it manipulates light, and now, the brand has transposed that same idea into a liquid highlighter that bends light just so without emphasising lines and textures, leaving only a pearlescent glow to the visage. With five shades to choose from, the formula gives off a serum-like texture, and layers atop itself seamlessly, allowing you to create a custom glow.

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Colour Correcting Under Eye Setting Powder
The Secret Brightening family has always been renowned as the corrective line—even before colour-correcting became a hit. This time around, the brand updates its under-eye setting powder to make it that much more imperceptible to the naked eye, resulting in a more refined finish that is perfect for both high-resolution photography and casual, daily use. The trick? Apply a very light layer—with a pressing and rolling manoeuvre—because it doesn’t take much for the product to take effect.

The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1% A Targeted Plumping Serum
Innovation is a true rarity in the beauty space, and we’re happy to report that this latest serum from The Ordinary fits that bill. Aimed at volume loss, the solution boasts a 92 per cent concentration of the patented ingredient, Volufiline. Dubbed “filler in a bottle”, the formulation is meant to address hollowness that typically comes with ageing. To get maximum benefit, be sure to use this correctly. The serum is to be applied after moisturiser—that’s right—both morning and evening.

Farmacy Green Clean Whipped Foaming Cleanser
The king of cleansing balm is expanding its realm, and this time, it’s aiming to rule the foaming cleanser category. If you’re already a fan of its famed Green Clean Cleansing Balm, then this is the ideal face wash to use in your next double cleanse routine. Soap-free, pH-balanced, and oil-free, the formula lends itself to be a brilliant cleanser even for those suffering from dry or sensitised skin. It won’t over-strip the dermatome, but it will effectively cleanse. To teeter that tightrope, the cleanser uses the power of Moringa and Papaya extract to gently resurface and lift dirt and pollution.

Henry Jacques Collection de l’Atelier 2025
There won’t be a rarer fragrance than this. In celebration of its fruitful harvest, the perfume atelier has taken it upon itself to translate the HJ Rose de Mai into a three limited-edition trio of fragrances. Limited to just 500 pieces globally, the collection comprises the Rose Azafira, Rose Très Rose 2025, and Rose Alambrah. The first is a spicy twist to the romantic petals, with a silken finish from sandalwood and amber; the second is a floral bouquet, where the Rose de Mai is accompanied by Damascena rose and jasmine, with accents from violet leaves; and the third is a rose scent with a resinous and citrusy edge that stems from the addition of bergamot, labdanum, and vetiver.

The House of Oud Pure Diamond
The House of Oud has always done hand-painted bottles. In a turn of events, the latest launch, Pure Diamond, is bottled in a transparent flacon to capture the brilliance of the jewel its named after. Joining the Royal Stones collection, it pays homage to the largest diamond to ever be discovered, the Cullinan Diamond. To capture the essence of the precious rock, the Maison uses notes of incense, cinnamon, rose, and sandalwood to cement the luxurious aura, with hints of pink pepper, pear, and white musk to translate a sense of translucence to the overall scent.
