New beauty: June’s best buys
The latest launches from the brands you love
Clinique Dramatically Different™ Moisturising Lotion+ SPF 50
An icon reborn: Clinique’s Dramatically Different™ Moisturising Lotion is now available with SPF 50, and it’s exclusive to John Lewis until 3 July. What makes this little yellow bottle dramatically different? Put simply, the lightweight formula is easily absorbed and the powerful hydration lasts all day. The latest innovative iteration of this cult classic – which was originally formulated in 1968 – delivers the same deep hydration plus daily protection against harmful UV rays. We believe the years of build up will be worth the wait.
Trinny London Take Back Time Elixir
Trinny Tribe, rejoice – the brand is back with a new skin vitality elixir. Why do you need it? Unlike traditional skincare that targets only structural ageing, this advanced formula immediately transforms dull, dehydrated skin from within, and it helps to strengthen and restore the skin’s vascular network, so skin can recover its lost vitality, suppleness and hydration. Even better, the fragrance-free formula is designed for all skin types, including sensitive. Apply on clean skin or post-serum and pre-moisturiser/SPF.
The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Serum
Just in time for summer, The Ordinary has released a serum-textured sunscream offering broad-spectrum SPF 45 protection against sun damage and premature skin ageing. The brand brought out an SPF in the past, but this serum has a brand new formulation that’s lightweight, feels comfortable on the skin and absolutely does not leave a white cast (like the retired product). Basically you actually want, rather than need, to wear it. It’s suitable for daily use and all skin types (including sensitive), and like all The Ordinary products, wildly affordable and still best-in-class.
Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi La Riserva Eau de Parfum
This fragrance from Acqua di Parma really shines in summer. It translates as ‘figs of the Amalfi coast,’ so unsurprisingly the top note is fig. But it’s fresh and natural – not sweet and sickly. Elegant, easy and truly unisex, the lushness of the fig meets vibrant Italian mandarin, blood orange, grapefruit and lemon essences. And while what’s inside is most important, the Italian brand’s tasteful packaging is a real treat – we love the deep-blue bottle inspired by the Mediterranean Sea.
Diptyque Ilio Eau de Toilette
Can you smell summer yet? You will if you get your hands on Diptyque’s limited-edition Ilio Eau de Toilette. The genderless summer scent is inspired by the beauty of the Mediterranean’s sun-drenched shores, capturing that getaway spirit. Infused with ingredients such as fresh prickly pear, juicy bergamot and powdery jasmine, it’s vibrant, uplifting and memorable (like all Diptyque fragrances and candles). Not to be missed.
COOLA Clear Sunscreen Spray Guava Mango SPF 50
Say hello to COOLA, the latest sun cream brand to land at John Lewis. Founded in California, it set out to raise the standards of SPF by always using organic ingredients and reef-safe formulas. The Clear Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 is water-resistant with broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, anti-ageing benefits and a delicious Guava Mango scent. Perfect for daily use and long days in the sun, it’s impossibly lightweight with a non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture. And it really does smell so good.
