Yahoo Finance Let’s Make-Up: the new beauty launches to have on your radar in August
Summer is in full swing and for us, that means one thing - switching up our beauty routine.
Each month, all types of lotions and potions across makeup, skincare, haircare and more cross our desks and we take it upon ourselves to review each and every one so that you don’t have to. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
In our Let’s Make-Up round-up, we bring you a selection of the tried and tested, freshest, and buzziest beauty launches that are worth adding to your basket. If we include it below, then you know it’s a good ‘un.
For August, our beauty cabinet is awash with new launches - from an innovative new drop from Charlotte Tilbury who has ventured into the realm of cryogenics for not one, but two, new skincare heroes, to a buzzy follow up from Ouai x Byredo after its previously sold-out beautifully scented haircare. Talking of innovation, SBTRCT has reimagined retinol into an eco-friendly solid bar and TEMPLESPA is bringing a spa-like pampering to your home with its Oxygen Peel.
For plenty more besides, see our edit of the beauty goodies you need on your radar.
Charlotte Tilbury Cyro-Recovery Face Mask and Eye Serum
Fresh from Charlotte Tilbury’s beauty labs comes these two new launches, which delve into the world of cryogenics and the healing power of ice. Responding to the common complaint over dark circles, puffy under eyes and the cause of it all, lack of sleep, the cooling targeted products are designed to calm and revive your complexion to create the makeup artist’s signature glowy look. Once you’ve applied the face mask and eye serum, your cheekbones and jawlines appear more sculpted and defined, redness is reduced and pores look smaller. Say goodbye to chilled teaspoons.

SBTRCT Rejuvenating Night Balm
Retinol is one of the most sought-after ingredients in the beauty sphere but its not the easiest to incorporate into your skincare routine with many conditions to its use - only at night, followed by SPF and in smaller doses at first. But SBTRCT, the brand beloved for its solid skincare solutions has raised the bar (literally) with a waterless solid alternative that is not only more eco-friendly - without excess packaging - but remains high performance and results driven. The bar contain the powerhouse vitamin A derivative but a form of which that will offer less irritation and is more biologically active. It also combines it with squalane to pack the skin with moisture and suppleness - making it ideal for first time users.

KVD Beauty Epic Kiss Nourishing Vegan Butter Lipstick
Choosing just one from the latest KVD Beauty Epic Kiss Nourishing Vegan Butter Lipstick range may just be the hardest decision you’ve had to make today. If you’re anything like us, you’ll be adding one or two of the 15 bold and out-there shades to your basket. With just one swipe of the formula, you’ll notice the immediate colour pay-off but once on, it feels nourishing and balm-like thanks to the inclusion of vegan cupuaçu butter in the formula.
