Somehow, it’s already July and we’re now officially into the second half of the year. And whilst that is somewhat terrifying, particularly given many of us have spent four of the last six months indoors, the start of a new month has a beautiful silver lining: brand new beauty products to treat yourself to. Here are 13 of the best new beauty launches happening in July that you’re going to want to add to cart.
Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm
What you need to know: Cult beauty brand Glow Recipe has released its newest product today in the form of the Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm. The balm works to dissolve makeup, oil and SPF whilst simultaneously exfoliating the skin for a superb glow. The PEG-free formula is made with blueberry extract which helps to fight free radical damage, as well as papaya seed oil and extract to hydrate and soothe. Looks (and smells) good enough to eat – but don’t.
Price: $42
Where to get it: Available from today at Sephora.ca.
Starface Hydro-Stars
What you need to know: Starface products are now officially available to ship to Canadian shores for the very first time. Launched last year, the brand generated instant buzz thanks to their Hydro-Stars – hydrocolloid pimple patches that accelerate pimple healing and prevent you from picking – which are equal parts skincare and style statement. So make like Lizzo and cover yourself in stars – you’ll never be sad about a pimple again.
Price: $27 for 32 stars.
Where to get it: Starface.world.
Caudalie Limited Edition Beauty Elixir
What you need to know: To celebrate the start of summer, French beauty brand Caudalie is releasing a special limited edition of its cult-favourite Beauty Elixir. Made with 100 per cent natural ingredients, the Elixir is known for its glow boosting properties – it also tightens pores and is perfect for prepping your skin before applying makeup and setting it once you’re done. The pretty pink bottle was first released last year, and the brand has brought it back for a second so if you missed out last time, now’s your chance to get your hands on one (or five).
Price: $22 for 30ml or $59 for 100ml.
Where to get it: Available July 3 at caudalie.ca.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss
What you need to know: If you’re looking for an easy way to add a little volume to your lips, Maybelline’s new Lifter Gloss is your answer. The formulation contains hyaluronic acid which works to smooth the surface of your lips whilst simultaneously enhancing the lip contour. Plus, the large wand makes application a breeze – just one swipe and you’re good to go.
Price: $10.99
Where to get it: Available from July 7 at mass retailers and drugstores.
