Sally Foran: The latest beauty launches I am loving

These beauty products have been on Sally Foran's radar

1. Clarins Wonder Perfect 5D Mascara

1. Clarins Wonder Perfect 5D Mascara

Clarins newest mascara somehow manages to do it all, adding volume, curl, definition, intense length and nourishing care, all in one, for an instant eye-widening effect. Like all Clarins mascaras, it includes lash care, with hyaluronic acid to keep lashes long and strong, a lash boosting complex that nourishes lashes with panthenol and sphinganine and mastic extract to strengthen.

A buildable texture promises zero clumping with a cleverly designed brush to sculpt lashes from all angles and sides, defining every last baby lash.

2. Charlotte Tilbury Exagger Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Sticks

The latest innovation to the Exagger-Eyes range, designed to sculpt, define, lift, and highlight the eyes in seconds, giving the optical illusion of bigger, brighter looking eyes in seconds.

Inspired by universally flattering tones found in nature, the 12 shades, six matte blur shades and six satin glow shades, suit every eye colour, eyelid, age, and skin tone.

Their featherlight formula glides across the lids effortlessly, delivering high impact colour and a smooth, seamless veil of pigment, with time to play before it sets.

Crease-proof, waterproof, fade-proof, and transfer-proof, they wear beautifully. Try it on the waterline.

3. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Complexion Perfector

3. Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Complexion Perfector

This comes in three adjustable shades to instantly camouflage any blemish, discolouration, or imperfection.

A waterproof, full coverage concealer that delivers a natural matte finish without fading, creasing, or transferring. Enriched with vitamins C and E and Chamomile extract, it soothes and protects the skin barrier while helping to prevent discolouration.

No need to master advanced colour theory either, simply apply the base shade to your target area, add cool if it’s too light and warm if it’s too dark.

  • €42, Marks & Spencer

4. Fenty Sun Stalk’r Souffle Pressed Mousse Cream Bronzer

4. Fenty Sun Stalk’r Souffle Pressed Mousse Cream Bronzer
4. Fenty Sun Stalk’r Souffle Pressed Mousse Cream Bronzer

Rhianna exclusively wore and teased this beautiful bronzer at the Met Gala and I’d been lusting after it since.

It’s so soft and velvety with a gorgeous pressed mousse texture, and instantly melts into skin, leaving you with a gorgeous sun-kissed glow. Its unique, bouncy texture and blurring powders blend without looking patchy and build without feeling heavy.

Available in eight sunlit shades, each designed to blend effortlessly across all complexions, making it easy to find a match for all skin tones. It’s also sweat- and humidity-resistant, making it ideal for summer.

Apply where the sun naturally hits — tops of cheeks, temples, and the bridge of nose for a beautifully bronzed, blurred finish.

  • €38, Boots

5. The Ordinary Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% face serum

5. The Ordinary Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% face serum
5. The Ordinary Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% face serum

Sleep deprivation is now a global epidemic, showing up on skin as changes in texture, tone, firmness, and elasticity leaving skin dull tired and fatigued. Thankfully this serum is formulated to address all these concerns, combining Caffeine, Escin, and Bacillus Ferment to target the key ways sleep loss impacts the skin — both immediately and over time. In a lightweight emulsion, it reduces visible signs of fatigue, leaving skin looking more refreshed. It also reduces visible redness and boosts radiance and skin hydration in just one application. With continued use, it works to lift, firm, and smooth skin, promoting a more toned and refreshed appearance, helping combat the look of tiredness for a more defined, awake looking appearance.

  • €9.70, Cult Beauty

6. Skingredients Eye Light Arbutin Under Eye Pads

6. Skingredients Eye Light Arbutin Under Eye Pads
6. Skingredients Eye Light Arbutin Under Eye Pads

Skingredients have launched two performance-led treatments designed to rapidly replenish hydration and brighten tired skin and the eye patches are my personal favourite.

Designed to “quench and drench” the skin in just 15 minutes, with hydration increasing by up to 85% after a single use. Rather than following the industry trend of hyaluronic acid-heavy formulas, these are formulated with Glycerine, a clinically respected humectant known to draw water into the skin and help retain moisture. With Arbutin to brighten and refresh the delicate under-eye area, and niacinamide to help visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fatigue.

Perfect before makeup or whenever your eyes need a reset.

7. RevitaLash Volume Enhancing

This unisex breakthrough daily treatment works to visibly volumise hair while also helping to condition, strengthen, and defend against breakage and brittleness. Suitable for all hair types and safe for colour-treated hair, it’s ideal for those experiencing thinning, fragile strands or loss of density around the hairline. Powered by a targeted blend of nourishing and strengthening ingredients, the innovative foam not only improves the appearance of hair density but supports overall scalp and hair health too.

The latest launch from Irish brand Hildun are three stunning peptide pearl balms, Astrid, Lyra, and Starr.

The addition of peptides ensures your lips will look better the more you wear them.
