There’s something about a new beauty launch that makes refreshing your vanity feel exciting again. From summer-ready SPF essentials and glossy lip treatments to fragrances designed to become your new signature scent, this month’s newest arrivals are bringing plenty of reasons to make room in your beauty bag.
If you’re looking to upgrade your everyday routine or your vanity bag, these are the launches worth knowing right now.
PHLUR | Vanilla Canyon Eau de Parfum
A warm, sun-soaked take on vanilla, PHLUR’s latest fragrance feels like summer in a bottle. Inspired by open roads and endless freedom, Vanilla Canyon is the newest scent to add to your rotation if you love creamy, comforting fragrances.
Memo Paris | Darling Point
For anyone looking to swap heavy gourmands for something brighter, Memo Paris’ Darling Point is sweet without becoming cloying. Pear, orange blossom and rose keep it bright, while praline and cashmere wood give it enough warmth to carry into the evening.
Lancaster Monaco | Beauty SPF50 Collection
Newly available exclusively online at Sephora Middle East, Lancaster’s Sun Perfect AIR SPF50 range makes daily sun protection easier to match to your skin. The weightless, invisible fluids come in options for hydration, glow, blemish-prone and sensitive skin, making them easy to wear alone or under makeup.
Gucci Beauty | Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid Intense
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid Intense is for anyone who likes vanilla with a darker edge. Vanilla orchid and a salty ozonic note keep it from feeling overly sweet, while dark cocoa adds depth as it settles on the skin.
Rare Beauty | Rare Beginnings Eau de Parfum
Unveiled in July, Rare Beauty enters fine fragrance with Rare Beginnings Eau de Parfum, available at Sephora Middle East from 7 August. Inspired by fresh starts, the scent pairs juicy pear nectar with gardenia, jasmine and warm vanilla bean for a soft, uplifting finish.
Fenty Beauty | Gloss Bomb Burst
Fenty Beauty is adding a juicy new twist to its cult-favourite glosses with the limited-edition Gloss Bomb Burst. Available in two vibrant shades, the formula is infused with shea butter, vitamin E and peptides to deliver glossy colour while keeping lips soft, hydrated and comfortable.
Oribe | Hair Alchemy Bond Building Elixir
For hair feeling brittle after colour, heat styling or summer damage, Oribe’s new Hair Alchemy Bond Building Elixir works as a lightweight leave-in step to strengthen, smooth and replenish key bonds without weighing strands down. It is the kind of treatment to work into your routine when hair needs more than a quick conditioning fix.
Bobbi Brown | Vitamin Enriched Face Base+
Bobbi Brown’s cult moisturiser-primer has been reformulated for anyone who prefers fewer steps before makeup. Face Base+ keeps the buttery texture and familiar grapefruit-and-geranium scent, now with niacinamide, panthenol and vitamin C for added hydration and smoother foundation application.
Estée Lauder | Advanced Night Repair Recovery Treatment Essence
When heat, travel and late nights leave skin feeling depleted, Estée Lauder’s new water-light essence slots between cleansing and serum without adding a heavy layer. Its Bio-Exosome Technology contains more than 500 peptides and is designed to hydrate, soothe and support the skin barrier.
NARS | Insatiable Liquid Blush
Newly arrived in the UAE, NARS’ Insatiable Liquid Blush gives cheeks lasting colour without a heavy or sticky finish. The pigment is strong, so one small dot goes a long way, blending into a second-skin flush that promises up to 16 hours of wear—useful when Dubai heat is involved.
