July 2026 beauty launches: a curated collection of six new releases
July 2026 brings a range of new beauty launches, from a portable hair dryer from Dyson to an olfactory portrait from Tom Ford. Here’s a look at the latest releases—you might just find a new favourite.
Tom Ford Taormina Orange
Few ingredients carry the immediate sensory charge of a Sicilian orange grove, and Taormina Orange leans into that charge with confidence. Master perfumer Anne Flipo frames it as “a contrast of freshness juxtaposed with the warmth of woods”. At the first spritz, the effervescent olfactory portrait exhales uplifting citrus notes laced with floral facets before giving way to heart notes of lime, cardamom, and fresh green spice. The base concludes the woody, albeit citrusy fragrance with patchouli oil and the earthiness of oakmoss.
Nars Petal Play Collection
Soft, bloom-inspired hues set the tone for the Petal Play Collection. The line-up includes the high-shine, nourishing Afterglow Lip Shine; Quad Eyeshadow palettes spanning shimmering sparkle to velvety matt; and a Blush offered in two shades. Complexion is not overlooked: the Light Reflecting Setting Powder delivers a soft-focus finish that flatters without heaviness. Each piece arrives in packaging that is adorned with delicate floral silhouettes rendered
in dreamy, ethereal tones—a visual promise of what lies within.
Dermalogica Phyto Nature E2
Skin ageing is a biological certainty, but the rate at which it shows is negotiable. Dermalogica’s Phyto Nature E2 addresses the visible signs through a dual-action approach that pairs regeneration with exfoliation, its lightweight formula calibrated to work in concert with the skin’s renewal cycle. Powered by regenerative exosome technology and exfoliating pumpkin enzyme, alongside ingredients such as phyto glycogen and prickly pear, it helps promote a brighter, smoother-looking complexion while supporting surface renewal.
Shiseido Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream Soft
Joining the Future Solution LX line, this new night cream elevates and reimagines its predecessor with a proprietary HydroEssence System. Also featuring another of Shiseido’s innovations, the Longevity Complex technology, this hydrating yet lightweight cream optimises the skin’s regenerative environment. With consistent nightly application, the cream promises tangible improvements in resilience, firmness, hydration, and luminosity — with noticeably diminished pores as a further dividend.
Dyson Supersonic Travel Hair Dryer
Those particular about their hair dryers will know the packing dilemma well. Bulky by nature and often incompatible with international voltages, styling tools can quickly become dead weight in a suitcase. Dyson’s engineers have addressed this with a new iteration of the iconic Supersonic that delivers the same performance in a form that is 32 per cent smaller and 25 per cent lighter.
Kosas Impressionist Multistick
For the lips and cheeks, Kosas’ Impressionist Multistick takes inspiration from the impressionists’ way of capturing light, movement, and emotion. In handy packaging, it deposits a blendable, buildable formula seamlessly without leaving a tacky finish. Available in seven shades, the non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic blush also offers skincare benefits, most notably its ability to moisturise and smooth the skin. There’s also no need to worry about creasing for up to 12 hours.
