Each month, the Stylist beauty team discovers a bevy of brand new beauty launches. But which ones were good enough to gain a spot in their bathroom cabinets? Find out below.
July might’ve been a total washout but there have been some brilliant new product launches that have landed on the Stylist beauty desk that at least allow us to feel like we’re still in the height of summer.
From indulgent body care to luxurious make-up, July’s beauty launches have all had that ‘feel good, look better’ mantra. So while our social calendars might be at the mercy of the ever-changing weather, we can at least indulge in some serious self-care to help us feel our very best.
But as we all know, beauty can be overwhelming, and with so many new products blowing up our social media feeds, it can often feel like there’s too much information out there. So to help you shop smarter, we’ve parsed through the noise and whittled down the myriad of new releases to find the July beauty launches we really rate. Enjoy.
Reeson Highlighter Duo
If you like the idea of highlighters but don’t get on with glittery formulas, you’ll love this new launch from Reeson. One part is a glossy highlighter, packed with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane and jojoba seed oil. The other side houses a soft-focus powder that allows you to really ramp up that pop of highlight on your cheekbones or inner corner of the eye. It’s gorgeous, ethereal skin in a palette. Obsessed.
Garnier Body Superfood Nutri Glow Body Cream
Sometimes the best beauty buys are the ones that appear basic – but are really bloody good. Which is where this new superfood body cream from Garnier comes into play. It’s enriched with vitamin C to help brighten the skin, while the rich formula hydrates and conditions dry skin for up to 48 hours of lasting moisture.

Lisa Eldridge Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour
These long-wearing but feather-like liquid lipsticks from make-up artist Lisa Eldridge really do change the way we feel about matte lipsticks in general. With a natural-looking, soft focus finish – they’re creamy, wearable and utterly divine on the lips.
Mac Cosmetics Connect In Colour Eye Shadow Palette
This 12-shade bronze eyeshadow palette really does tick all of the boxes. Each shade is rich, ultra-pigmented and buttery smooth and can be worn alone or mixed with others to create a really soft and sultry summer smoky eye. There’s honestly not a shade that will go unworn – which is no mean feat for a 12-pan eyeshadow palette.

Floral Street Sweet Almond Blossom
If you’re into fruity and floral fragrances, you’ll adore Floral Street’s latest launch. With tangy passionfruit, delicate apple blossom, sweet matcha and creamy vanilla – it’s soft, comforting and fruity all-in-one. A must-spritz this summer.
Farmacy Strawberry Shortcake Clean
Farmacy’s bestselling cleansing balm has been updated this summer with a fresh, fruity twist. Strawberry Shortcake Green Clean helps to melt away make-up, pollution, sunscreen and debris without leaving your skin barrier stripped. It also doesn’t sting your eyes, which we all know makes it a real winner.
Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. SPF50 Watery Lotion
With a cooling, ultra-refreshing texture and an imperceptible finish, this SPF lotion is ideal for everyday use. It expertly defends against UV rays, blue light, pollutants and infrared radiation; meaning it’s perfect for use at home or abroad.

Rare Beauty All Of The Above Weightless Eyeshadow Stick
Perfect for easy, on-the-go application, these new eyeshadow sticks combine both a soft-gel liner with a smokey eyeshadow palette. Use to line the lids, provide all-over colour or highlight the inner corners of the eyes. Once again, Rare Beauty has nailed it.

Color Wow Extra Strength Dream Coat
You’ve probably seen this viral haircare hero on social media but if not, let us explain. A souped-up version of the bestselling Dream Coat formula, this hair defence spray coats your hair in a protective shield, making it completely waterproof and resistant to frizz and humidity. Not only that, but it gives the hair a mirror-like shine that lasts for up to three washes. The extra strength formula has been developed specifically with dehydrated, curly or coily hair in mind – so if that’s you, it’s a must-try.
Tatcha Hinoki Body Wash
Transform your shower into a spa-like oasis with this seriously indulgent body wash from Tatcha. Infused with the brand’s ultra-calming Forest Awakening Essential Oil Blend, it works to reduce stress, calm the mind and lift the mood. Plus, the soft gel formula is infused with cellulose, to gently exfoliate – leaving your skin smoother, softer and more refined from top-to-toe.
Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Body Cream
If you’ve ever tried Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic Magic Cream, you’ll be well aware of the luxurious and soft feeling your skin is left with after applying it. Now imagine that: on your entire body. Charlotte’s Magic Body Cream has been long-awaited and let me tell you – it doesn’t disappoint. Formulated with rose extract, it helps to visibly improve the skin’s elasticity while soybean and glycerin work to moisturise, soften and hydrate the skin. Skin is left supple and unbeatably soft – it’s like magic.
