Rare Beauty’s Soft Pink Liquid Blush regularly sells out across stores. Which is why we predict Selena Gomez’ latest launch will do the same.

Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush, is like a lovechild of Rare Beauty bestsellers –  blending the weightless colour of Soft Pinch Liquid Blush with the sheen of Positive Light Highlighter, to give the most beautiful, radiant finish. This blush is unexpectedly smooth and lightweight, yet offers a transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and water-resistant formula, ensuring long-lasting wear. Available in six shades like Cheer (light warm pink) and Love (terracotta), it only launched yesterday at SpaceNK and Sephora but is already selling like hot cakes. Run run run!

A backstage beauty favourite, renowned stylist Guido Palau, known for his innovative and sometimes rebellious take on traditional hairstyles, is finally bringing his decades of styling experience to this affordable yet convincingly good collaboration with ZARA.

Called “Everyday Basics”, the range comprises a meticulously crafted suite of six key products, each one designed to provide a styling solution for a variety of hair needs, while embodying Palau’s iconic artistry with practical functionality. The collection includes a Volumizing Mousse, a Dry Texturizing Spray, a Blow-Dry Spray, a Curl Activator, a Hair Spray, and a Light Hair Balm. These products aim to cover the essential styling demands ranging from smoothing frizz to setting an up-do, enhancing curls, and adding texture, all while being accessible at a price point of £15.99 each​​​​.

Our verdict? Guido’s approach is start simple, but make it extraordinary. From the Hair Balm that banishes frizz with a whisper, not a shout, to the Curl Activator that brings definition without the drama, each product is a testament to the power of essentials done right. With Jérôme Epinette’s fresh fragrances (he’s also the nose behind Victoria Beckham’s perfume line, another DESTINO team favourite) wrapped in tactile packaging, this line doesn’t just walk the talk—it struts it.

We can’t tell you how much we’ve missed Ultra Violette’s Queen Screen, which quickly became a cult favourite before being tantalisingly unavailable while they reformulated it to make it even better.

Fear not, Queen Screen loyalists; the essence of your beloved serum hasn’t changed. Its silky texture, perfect as a primer, and the iconic luminous finish are all still there, but it now has an ultra-indulgent rose scent, alongside a host of additional skin-nourishing ingredients that makes this much more than just an SPF.

The reformulation introduces Tinosorb M & S alongside Uvinul A Plus and Uvinul T150 for broad-spectrum protection that’s kinder to your skin. But it doesn’t end there. Vi boosts the formula with D-Panthenol to calm, Glycerin to lock in moisture, and Pentavitin for lasting hydration. The standout? IBR-Solage from pink microalgae for firmness, and Superox-C™ from Kakadu Plum for a brightened, even skin tone, plus a healthy dose of Vitamins E and F for that extra skin barrier and antioxidant protection.

Why we’re excited: unlike some disappointing reformulations, Ultra Violette has managed to elevate a staple product without compromising on the qualities that made it such a must-have. Ideal for those seeking serious sun protection coupled with a dose of hydration, we expect Queen Screen 2.0 to be a best-seller.

No one likes split ends, which is why we were intrigued to try Virtue’s new Damage Reverse Serum. Featuring Virtue’s groundbreaking Alpha Keratin 60ku®, it’s a biotech breakthrough with clinical studies showing that it repairs 98% of split ends and makes hair more resistant to damage.

You use 2-3 pumps of the cream formula on clean, damp hair and while we can’t say for sure that 98% of split ends disappeared, our hair did feel (and smell) lusciously soft.
