St. Tropez Sunlit Skin Bronzing Tint, £29

A bronzing tint that hydrates, evens out skin tone, and develops into a natural tan? We were intrigued, and after trying it, we’re hooked.
St. Tropez’s Sunlit Skin is part skincare, part makeup, part self-tan, delivering an instant wash of warmth while developing into a longer-lasting glow over three hours. The ask? Use the precision dropper to apply directly to clean skin. We were worried it would feel drying but unlike powder bronzers, it melts seamlessly into skin, creating a hydrated, soft-focus, sun-kissed effect that looks just as good on its own as it does under makeup. The hydration hit comes courtesy of it being infused with hyaluronic acid. Not only does this mean a luminous finish — but it’s why the result is no streaks, no patchiness, and the easiest glow-up you’ll ever apply.
Charlotte Tilbury Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum, £70

Charlotte Tilbury knows how to create glow, but this time, she’s going deeper to help users create a flawless base. Her new Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum is designed to fade pigmentation, even out skin tone, and reduce redness—and after testing, we can confirm it works.
Powered by Precision-Fade Even Skin™ Technology, vitamin C, and tranexamic acid, it’s lightweight but powerful, targeting everything from post-acne scars to under-eye darkness. It layers perfectly under SPF and makeup, and after a few weeks of use, skin looks noticeably brighter, clearer, and more even.
With 98% of testers saying they’d delay laser treatments after using it, this one’s great for anyone looking to correct, brighten, and smooth their skin.

Jo Malone London Beach Blossom Cologne, From £86

If sunshine had a scent, this would be it—and judging by the online buzz it’s getting, we’re not the only ones who think so. Jo Malone’s Beach Blossom Cologne has already gone viral, with bottles flying off the shelves (a quick airport check at Heathrow confirmed that it was completely sold out). The good news? We’ve checked and it should be back in stock for at least the next three months.
Blending zesty lime, refreshing coconut water, and warm tonka bean, it’s fresh yet warm, light yet alluring—the kind of sun-drenched scent that instantly transports you to a beach somewhere far away.
Coming in a beautiful bottle, it’s effortlessly chic, endlessly wearable, moreish, and the ultimate summer fragrance—whether you’re actually on holiday or just dreaming of one.

It glides on like a luxury serum, sinking in instantly and leaving skin smooth, dewy, and primed for makeup.
We’ve tested it under foundation, over serums, on its own—it just works. And honestly? It’s the only SPF we actually look forward to applying.
