There’s a quiet sort of luxury in discovering a product that delivers exactly what it promises, no theatrics, just considered formulation and understated elegance. Lately, my vanity has been home to a select few newcomers, and the shift in my daily routine has been subtle but significant. I, for one, have always believed beauty should enhance, not overwhelm, something I think the new luxe brands also have been following lately.
One particular standout is RAS Luxury Oils Super Plump Maximising Lip Oil Gloss. I’ve kept it within arm’s reach since first trying it, not just for its nourishing texture, but for the way it lends a natural fullness and gloss without veering into overt shine. Then there’s Urban Decay’s Face Bond Luminizer Waterproof Glow Drops For Face + Body, a product that brings a skin-forward radiance with crazy staying power. Applied under foundation or tapped across the collarbones, it gives that glow of life that reads well in both natural light and under camera flash.
In short, from radiant complexions to high-shine pouts, this season’s new luxe launches are less about overhauls and more about elevation, the kind that makes you feel like the chicest version of yourself. Read now to know more.
The 10 New Luxe That Should Be In Your Cart
By Terry Rouge Opulent Lipstick
This is lipstick for those who love plush, hydrating, and encased in packaging that feels like a clutch accessory. By Terry's Rouge Opulent glides on with buttery ease and wears like a satin veil. The shades are rich without being overpowering, giving you that “I woke up elegant” finish, whether you opt for a Mon Rouge or a Bare Velvet.
Huda Beauty Mini Puffs Powder Puff Trio
Beauty tools don’t get nearly enough attention, but Huda’s Mini Puffs are about to change that. These palm-sized puffs are not just adorable to look at but are brilliantly designed for targeted powdering think under the eyes, around the nose, or a mid-day T-zone touch-up. Plus, the soft texture and chic monochrome hues make them feel far more luxurious than your average puff.
RAS Luxury Oils Super Plump Maximizing Lip Oil Gloss
This is the gloss for people who think they don’t like gloss. Weightless and non-sticky, Super Plump combines the nourishment of a lip oil with the impact of a gloss. It gives your lips a soft, cushiony fullness and a gleam that feels fresh rather than forced. It's skincare, but pretty.
Sol de Janeiro Limited Edition Perfume Mist Discovery Set
If you’ve ever caught a whiff of someone and instantly needed to know what they were wearing, it was probably Sol de Janeiro. This limited edition set includes a range of their cult-favourite perfume mists tropical, sun-drenched, and unapologetically addictive. Perfect for desk drawers, handbags, and spontaneous getaways.
Clinique High Impact High-Fi Full Volume Mascara
Clinique’s High Impact High-Fi is mascara that means business. It lengthens, volumises, and lifts, all without flaking or smudging, which is rarer than we care to admit. The brush hugs every lash, creating a fanned-out effect that reads bold but never clumpy.
M.A.C Strobe Beam Liquid Blush
Blush is having a moment, and Strobe Beam is the best of both worlds: luminous and pigmented. This liquid blush melts into skin, delivering a lit-from-within glow with a whisper of colour. The finish is soft-focus, like golden hour in a bottle ideal for cheeks that want colour and dimension.
Urban Decay Face Bond Luminizer Waterproof Glow Drops
Glow is no longer optional, but Face Bond makes it feel effortless. These waterproof drops work on both face and body, blending seamlessly into moisturiser, foundation, or bare skin. The effect is more healthy sheen than disco shimmer, and the staying power means it won’t fade before your day (or night) is done.
Supergoop (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35
Reapplying SPF over makeup has long been a struggle, but Supergoop’s Mineral Powder makes it refreshingly doable. Dust it over the high points of your face and you’re protected and mattified in seconds. It’s portable, practical, and more importantly, it is actually flattering on the skin.
Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Blush Stick
Charlotte Tilbury rarely misses, and the Unreal Blush Stick is another standout. Creamy, buildable, and encased in the brand’s signature rose-gold packaging, this blush delivers a natural flush with just a touch of radiance. It’s user-friendly enough for beginners and rich enough for makeup pros to play with.
Huda Beauty Blush Filter Liquid Blush
If you love the look of filtered skin IRL, this is your go-to. Blush Filter offers sheer, buildable pigment with a silky texture that fuses with the skin. The result is soft, blurred colour that wears beautifully over base or bare skin, effortless, flattering, and just about perfect.
