This month’s beauty drops are worth making room for

As someone whose vanity is perpetually overflowing with stuff I definitely don’t need but somehow always make room for, keeping up with new launches is both a blessing and a very expensive habit. This month, beauty brands are leaning into everything I love. Fragrances, skincare-infused makeup, juicy glosses – you name it! If you’re a beauty girl, this is your cue to catch up with the new launches currently sitting at the top of my wishlist. Read on.

Augustinus Bader Vitamin C Serum 

Augustinus Bader has expanded its regenerative skincare portfolio with The Vitamin C Serum, a brightening treatment that’s powered by the brand’s proprietary Advanced TFC8 technology and formulated with stabilized Vitamin C to help combat dullness, improve texture, and protect against environmental stressors. It’s enriched with Niacinamide, Green Tea Polyphenols, and an Algae Evening Complex, which helps strengthen the skin barrier, calm redness, and promote a healthier-looking complexion over time.

Lancome Idole Peach ’N Roses Eau De Parfum

Lancome expands its Idole universe with Idole Peach ’N Roses, a bright fruity-floral fragrance that taps into juicy fruit notes paired with modern florals. The scent opens with sparkling red berries and pink pepper before unfolding into a heart of natural peach extract, inspired by the “first-bite” freshness of a ripe peach, and settles into the velvety rose signature that has become synonymous with the Idole line.

Rare Beauty True to Myself Foundation

Rare Beauty brings its True to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation to India, available exclusively at Sephora. It’s known for its medium-to-full coverage lightweight 3-in-1 formula that primes, covers, and sets in a single step and delivers a natural matte, soft-focus finish. The foundation provides up to eight hours of hydration, and is available in 32 shades tailored to a wide range of skin tones.

Secret Alchemist The Hair Alchemy 

As a fragrance girl through and through, let me break it to you that hair perfumes are every bit as important as the ones we wear on our skin. With The Hair Alchemy, Secret Alchemist turns haircare into a lasting fragrance statement. The collection features two distinct moods– Mineral Sage, that’s a fresh blend of mineral accord, Himalayan sage, and cedarwood, and Mystic Santal, a warmer composition of mandarin orange, jasmine sambac, and Mysore sandalwood crafted for evenings.
