What’s new in beauty right now

I always look forward to this time of the month when I get to do my beauty round-up. While some launches land on my desk to try, others instantly make their way into my cart. From Huda Beauty launching their first-ever fragrance to Estée Lauder dropping a deliciously glossy tinted balm, here’s everything worth catching up on from the beauty world right now.

Estee Lauder drops Futurist Hydraplump Tinted Lip Balm

Leaning further into the skincare-meets-makeup movement, Estee Lauder has launched the Futurist HydraPlump Tinted Lip Balm, a science-backed lip treatment that taps into the growing popularity of pH-adaptive beauty, with sheer tints that adjust subtly to each wearer’s natural lip tone. Available in eight shades ranging from soft pinks to deeper berry tones, the product looks promising to be your go-to this season.

Huda Beauty launches their first-ever Eau de Parfum

Expanding beyond makeup, Huda Beauty has stepped into fragrances with the launch of their Easy Bake Intense Eau de Parfum. Anchored in a floral gourmand profile, the fragrance plays with contrasts. It opens with a juicy burst of wild cherry before unfolding into a textured heart of delicate white florals, laced with cinnamon warmth and velvety caramel milk. As it settles, the fragrance deepens into an enveloping base of vanilla bourbon.

Available for sale from May 28, 2026.

L’Oreal Paris introduces Hyaluron Tint Lip Stain Serum

L’Oréal Paris has introduced the Hyaluron Tint Lip Stain Serum, a hybrid formula that combines the nourishment of a serum with the long-lasting payoff of a lip stain. Infused with hyaluronic acid, the lightweight tint claims to deliver up to 80 per cent instant hydration while giving you a plumping effect that dries down to a soft matte finish. It’s designed as a multi-use product, meaning it can be worn on the cheeks as well for a natural flush of colour.
