Shrinking World
As our world gets smaller (not physically), our choices get bigger. Never before has it been so easy to get beauty and skincare from anywhere in the world so quickly and easily. Let’s trot around the globe and pick up on a handful of releases from our own little beauty universe.
Starting in Italy with Kiko Milano.
Kiko Milano is an Italian leading cosmetic brand that’s known for high-quality, trend-driven beauty products that feel like a warm embrace. The hug courture limited edition embraces softness as an expressive force. Hug Couture cloud tint is a limited-edition collection with a bouncy, pudding-like cream tint that gives a natural flush, soft and blurred colour to both lips and cheeks and blends perfectly with a silicone applicator. Giving results a monochromatic, cloud-soft wash of colour that makes it effortless and modern.
Hug Courture Prepping Milk makes the skin hydrated, smooth, and strengthened by deeply absorbing moisture. It makes the skin look bouncy and radiant, and is a base that easily glides on skin. The essence is mainly enriched with Macadamia oil, Jojoba oil, Blackcurrant oil and Pomegranate oil that strengthen and provide enhanced hydration over time. The product is dermatologically tested and ensures comfort without weighing down the skin.
Hug Couture Lip Volume (Shimmery Limited Edition)
Hug Couture Lip Volume is a glossy, plump lip cream enhanced with hydrating actives. It helps to smooth fine lines and provide a luminous shimmer, which leaves lips with a naturally fuller look without being sticky. It provides comfort, shine and subtle volume in one swipe. It is infused with Sesame seed oil and hyaluronic acid, which provides a glossy and light-catching finish. The packaging is a tactile design that provides a warm, reassuring embrace.
Kissable Lip
And lastly, before we leave Italy. Kiko Milano has just unveiled Kissable lip collection. New Made in Italy lip collection designed to deliver hydration you can feel and volume you can see. At the heart of the range is a next-gen lip cream that gives lips an instantly smoother, fuller-looking finish with a high-shine, ‘kiss-me-now’ effect, without compromising on comfort. Available in six trend-perfect pastel tones.
Moschino was founded in 1983 in Milan by designer Franco Moschino. Originally launched as ‘Moschino Couture!’, the brand quickly gained fame for its colourful and eccentric designs that often satirised the fashion industry. Starting as a painter and later a fashion illustrator, working with Gianni Versace before launching his own label.
His fragrances followed the same whimsical energy. The latest release sees added facets to the toy collection. Toy 2 Yummy opening with bright, juicy, yellow Mandarin, fresh zest of Bergamot with a deep, resinous, and smoky incense hint of mystikal. The meeting with the heart is of rich floral Jasmine Sambac with its almost tropical facet and a rosey green of Geranium, a sliver of black Pepper and Timut to add a touch of heat. Its finale brings florals via the rich Rose of Bulgaria with grassy roots of Vetiver and a hug of Musk for added comfort. Rich and fruity, fun and lively, bottled in radiant blues and greens.
Then meet Moschino Gummy EDP.
This fragrance opens with a fresh burst of Bergamot and juicy Blood Orange, with an unexpected accent of Wine essence and the richness of golden Hazelnut. At its heart, find an addictive, velvety Praline accord that melds with the creamy notes of the Creamy-Milky accord, with an added depth of spicy wood from Akigalawood. Its final flourish finds resinous, rooty Myrrh that mingles with balsamic Benzoin, alongside the kiss of Madagascan Vanilla and musky sensuality tying it together. The perfume is a deeper take on a traditional gourmand, sophisticated, but still sweetly addictive.
Each of the new perfumes comes with the must-have teddy bear bottle, an iconic shaped glass flacon, here coloured with brilliant tones of oranges, red and, greens and blues.
Prada Touch
Prada Beauty’s latest innovation in its makeup and skincare lines: Prada Touch at Selfridges, the brand’s first cream-to-powder, multi-use blush. As blendable as a cream, as durable as a powder, the intuitive texture melts upon contact with the skin, transforming from a creamy balm to a blurred, soft matte powder finish. The result is a healthy-looking flush in a colour that stays true for up to 12 hours with no touch-ups needed.
Available in 8 shades – from rich mauve to delicate nude – that are mindfully crafted to flatter a wide range of skin tones and can be applied on the cheeks, lips and eyes alike for maximum versatility.
Designed for effortless on-the-go application, it features an endlessly stackable design that allows each one to be connected to another. Inviting wearers to curate their own lip and blush collection, it offers a touch of Prada anytime, anywhere.
India, Shalimar Gardens.
Next up, we are off to India. Parudeesa is an eco‑luxury bodycare brand, making natural deodorants, inspired by the mystical paradise gardens of Indo‑Persia. Blending luxury, heritage, and science into a solid, eco‑conscious format. What sets the brand apart is its approach to natural deodorant: each bar is made with medical‑grade ingredients, developed over four years, and designed to be suitable for sensitive skin. The brand is actually based in the UK.
The formula is 100% plastic‑free, smooth, stable, and never crumbly, a rarity in solid deodorants. Every scent is crafted in Grasse (France’s perfume centre) using traditional attar techniques, where botanicals are slowly infused into Sandalwood to create depth and longevity. This fusion of cultural heritage, scientific formulation, and sustainable design makes Parudeesa a uniquely luxurious entry in the natural bodycare space.
Maheen Khan grew up with sensitive skin (eczema and urticaria), making her aware of skincare routines and beauty products from a very young age. With a family in the healthcare industry for generations, she utilised knowledge and expertise in creating formulas whilst integrating medical-grade ingredients that are science-backed and suitable for sensitive skin.
Farmacy Beauty NYC
Over to the USA, stopping at NYC, to meet Farmacy Beauty, a ‘farm-to-face’ skincare brand established in 2015 by David Chung. The brand is known for sourcing ingredients from local farms, including Echinacea from upstate New York, and using sustainable methods, with products often featuring ingredients like honey, sunflower oil, and potent botanical actives.
Also, they are planting the seeds to reduce food waste, fight food insecurity and promote ethical production through our partnership with Feeding America and Second Harvest.

Japan
Shu Uemura’s ultimate sublime beauty cleansing oil
Shu Uemura is a highly regarded beauty brand partly because it pioneered the ‘art of beauty concept, blending professional-grade artistry with high-performance skincare and Japanese precision craftsmanship. Founded by the legendary makeup artist Mr Shu Uemura, who was the first Japanese makeup artist in Hollywood, the brand emphasises skin health as the necessary canvas for makeup, a holistic approach that revolutionised the industry.
It’s back in the UK. Shu Uemura’s ultimate sublime beauty cleansing oil elevates the simple act into a quiet luxury. The silky oil melts away, and the makeup transforms into a soft milky emulsion as it meets water, which makes the skin feel soft, hydrated and perfectly balanced. An ideal first step in any ritual, setting the tone for a routine built on care rather than compromise. The formula is hydrated with Tsubaki Totum extract, a nutrient-rich Japanese flower which offers eight skincare benefits, including removing fine lines and pores, making the skin look more radiant.
Germany
Next up is Montblanc’s latest perfume release. Founded in 1906 in Berlin by August Eberstein and Alfred Nehemias, before it relocated to Hamburg, where the company established its headquarters and began producing its iconic luxury pens.
Its latest scent, Legend Elixir, is an Amber Fougere fragrance for men. Opening with fresh, aromatic Lavender, soft, warm spice of Cardamom and Pink Pepper, bright light from Bergamot. Its heart emphasises soft spice and powder from Cinnamon, Iris, subtle fruity raisin from Pomarose and a facet of herbaceous, slightly sweet, earthy-musky Clary Sage. Its finale, its fixation if you like, includes notes of Woody, ambery Ambrofix™, sweet Vanilla, with resinous Benzoin and Labdanum.
It joins the collection as a more intense interpretation of the Legend theme, emphasising a blend of aromatic freshness and warm, resinous notes. It opens brightly, lifted by the spice, its heart combines powdery and herbal nuances with a touch of fruit. The dry down brings woody-amber, cistus and resin, creating a dense, balsamic drydown.
France, Troyes,
René Lacoste, the famous French tennis player nicknamed ‘the Crocodile,’ established his sportswear brand in 1933 because he had a need for functional, comfortable tennis attire. The collection has grown hugely since then, including showing two collections a year at Paris Fashion Week.
2024 saw the launch of Lacoste Original, an intense and addictive men’s fragrance symbolising French elegance. A subtle nod to Lacoste’s first fragrance, released in 1984, it is fully in keeping with the brand’s timeless heritage and instantly established itself as a new pillar of the Maison’s olfactory wardrobe.
Lacoste has now added its female alter ego: Lacoste Original Pour Femme. The new fragrance opens with tart, juicy Pear, with an added flick of fiery energy via a touch of Ginger and Mandarin. This then falls into a radiant floral heart, with regal Jasmine and elegant Rose alongside a ‘sunshine’ accord bringing a luminosity to the central theme. The finale brings together the sweet, sensual elements with creamy Vanilla and a warm depth from Amber. An ambery, fruity, floral eau de parfum, very much a French, elegant, yet relaxed, sexy scent.
At the same time, there is also a new men’s fragrance release, exploring new olfactory horizons with its latest creation. Lacoste Original Aqua is a fresh and intense composition enhanced by an aquatic facet. This takes a shift from the warm, woody-aromatic original scent to a fresher, aquatic, and more intense profile, making it a Woody Aquatic. Aqua adds a distinctive caviar and sea note blend to the original’s aromatic sage/lavender core, offering a bolder, more sensual, and cooler experience. Fresh green notes open the scents with Clary Sage and Lavender, the heart of it sees a Caviar salty sea note, which is cool and sits in contrast to its finish, which is earthy, rooty and warm from Vetiver and Ambery Woods.
France Paris
Christian Dior officially established his fashion house, the House of Dior, on December 16, 1946, at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. While the company was founded in late 1946, the label is widely associated with the launch of its first collection on February 12, 1947, which revolutionised fashion and was famously dubbed the ‘New Look’. It was at this show that he launched his first perfume, Original Miss Dior.
Dior Forever Skin Wear and Dior Forever Skin Glow
Dior’s new Forever foundations offer two finishes built with the values of long‑wear performance, seamless blendability, and skincare‑powered formulas that improve the skin over time.
Delivering a blurring natural‑matte finish with 24‑hour no‑transfer wear. Ultra‑thin and fluid, it melts into the skin to even tone, control shine, and soften imperfections without feeling heavy. Designed to withstand heat and humidity, and infused with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides, it visibly refines and brightens the skin in just one week, supported by SPF 20–25 PA+ depending on the shade.
For those who prefer radiance, Dior Forever Skin Glow offers the same long‑lasting performance with a natural glow finish. The silky, lightweight texture blends effortlessly, delivering medium‑to‑high buildable coverage that brightens and evens the complexion while maintaining a fresh, luminous look. The same trio of skincare actives, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides, helps the skin appear plumper, smoother, and more even, with added SPF 25 PA+ for daily protection.
Both foundations are non‑comedogenic, suitable for sensitive skin, and available in 45 shades across six undertones, ensuring a precise match for every complexion. Together, they form a versatile duo that lets you choose your finish, matte or glow, without compromising on comfort, wear, or skin health.
Crossing over to the 8 Rue Alfred de Vigny to the House of Givenchy
Hubert de Givenchy founded his fashion house, launching his first collection there. Remembered for its Bettina blouse, and the fact that he was a mere at 24 years old at the time.
Irresistible Nectar EDP de Parfum is the newest floral gourmand perfume to arrive from the house, which is presented in a square glass faceted bottle. It is the fourth in the Irresistible collection. Here, the House brings together two exceptional French heroes: perfumery and pastry. Givenchy presents its first collaboration with French pastry chef François Daubinet alongside a trio of perfumer heroes, Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion and Caroline Dumur. It transposes the olfactory addiction of Irresistible Nectar to create an exclusive floral delicacy. Opening with bright citrus with a hint of green via a Neroli Essence, followed by the regal Rose at its centre, here is the concept of three kinds of Rose and Rose Petals bringing a velvety floral to the heart. It rests and expands in its finale with Rich laconic cream and patisserie sweet from Vanilla nutty cream via Pistachio and a woody finish.
Alongside this newness, find a new tone of their infamous iconic powder, Prisme Libre 4-Colour Loose Powder. A new and improved ultra-fine setting powder has just launched with 24-hour blurring and 24-hour luminous matte finish. Sweatproof, smudgeproof and waterproof, it is also breathable, comfortable and non-comedogenic. Use as an all-over set and blur for the whole face or for precise setting and mattifying in specific areas. Available in seven colour pallets to match perfectly with any skin tone. Finally, the new blurry matte liquid lipstick with whipped texture for 12-hour colour intensity and comfort. With 12-hour wear and hydration, a whipped, comfortable formula that comes in 13 pigments.
Paul and Joe Beauté have launched their first skincare collection, inspired by Herboristeries (organic herbalist), which has been a Parisian staple for many years and offers advice customised to individual conditions and lifestyles. All three serums contain sweet violet extract, known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, and four other carefully selected plant-based ingredients. The products also have a retro-modern feel that will complement vanities, bedrooms and beauty pages well.
Double Concentrate serum
A luxurious bi-phase serum designed to revitalise tired-looking skin lacking firmness, vibrancy and lustre. The dual-phase formula is rich in oils, extracts, and hydrating actives, and melts into the skin to restore springy firmness, smoothness, and restore glow from within. Finished with an enveloping floral-powdery fragrance.
Primer Moisture Essence
A moisture-boosting starter serum for skin prone to persistent dryness or poor product absorption. The fluid, fast-absorbing texture sinks in instantly, delivering deep hydration and improving the skin’s ability to absorb subsequent skincare. Creates a plump, smooth, moisture-filled base that is overflowing with hydration from the very first step after cleansing.
Moisture Balance Essence
An all-in-one, alcohol-free serum for unstable, rough or dehydrated skin. This emulsion-like formula replaces all other skincare steps, correcting moisture imbalance and forming a protective barrier to keep hydration locked in. Melts seamlessly into the skin to restore suppleness and improve makeup adhesion.
Next a little trip to Ireland to meet Brow Aid
A multi-award-winning brow brand known for effective, result-driven formulas introduces the new product brow blueprint dual ended tool designed to create eyebrows. A revolutionary new product with innovative tooling and bi-phased pigment to mimic our natural brows’ shading and texture, whilst offering a waterproof, 18-hour wear.
Build brows with detail, structure, and lifelike dimension, inspired by architectural precision. With a game-changing duo colour system, designed to replicate the complexity. Ergonomically engineered to follow the natural angle of your hand, this flexible 2-pronged bristle head applicator ensures the dispersal of precisely the right amount of pigment in one steady glide.
The unique design delivers micro light hair-like strokes, adding stronger definition and filling gaps with ease. Available in three tones from the B Corp beauty brand.
Elstree, England, for Nanogen
Nanogen, a haircare brand focused on supporting thinning hair through a combination of cosmetic science and everyday ease. With over 20 years of expertise behind it, the brand is built around delivering visible results while also caring for the scalp and hair over time.
At the heart of the range are a few standout heroes. The Hair Growth Factor Serum is designed for those looking to support their hair and scalp over time. Lightweight and easy to apply, it helps create the ideal environment for healthier-looking hair, making it a go-to for anyone concerned about thinning. The Thickening Shampoo is where many people first notice a difference. It gently cleanses while lifting hair from the roots, improving texture and giving an instantly fuller feel from the very first wash. The Thickening Conditioner completes the experience. It hydrates and smooths without weighing hair down, helping maintain volume while leaving hair soft, manageable, and healthy-looking.
From colour to glow scent to shimmer, let’s hope our little global beauty roundup gave you some spring inspiration.
