There’s a certain softness to June — the shorter days, the slower pace, and the need for a routine that's equal parts efficacious and comforting. This month, our beauty favourites lean into sensorial rituals: barrier-boosting skin broth, luminising sunscreen, hydrating sheet masks and the best in new season fragrance (because a fresh fragrance is almost as good as a holiday). From new innovations to new brands — hello, Jones Road — the 'RUSSH' edit of what's new and good in beauty this month, below.
Emma Lewisham Sunceutical Mineral Glow Serum SPF 50
The winter timing of this bronze-tinted sunscreen couldn't be more perfect. It offers a sheer wash of colour, illuminating dull or tired-looking skin while offering broad spectrum mineral protection. If a tint is not your preference, the original formula is also incredible.
Balmain Blanc Galaxie
Just in from Balmain, Blanc Galaxie is an uber-bright citrus, so fresh, it fizzes out of the bottle. Creamy magnolia, cardamom and patchouli give it some depth.
Haus Labs Concealer
The viral TikToks are true — Lady Gaga has hit it out of the ball park with this concealer. Creamy and pigmented but not overly dense or matte, it buffs into the skin for a smooth, even-looking finish.
Augustinus Bader The Hydrogel Face Mask
This serum-soaked gold gel mask infuses the skin with brightening moisture for instant radiance. It's full of peptides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, as well.
Merit The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
Merit fans will be excited to hear The Uniform has launched in Australia. The tinted mineral SPF offers sheer coverage that evens out skin tone, while looking fresh and dewy. Compared to The Minimalist, it's light and very natural-looking, with the benefit of sun protection.
YSL Libre Nue
This alcohol-free iteration of Libre is light and airy — the perfect weightless summer fragrance. It still has the woody depth of the original, anchoring it to the skin.
Reome Active Recovery Broth
Reome is a new beauty brand with a cult following that just landed at Mecca (it was launched by a former editor and journalist Joanna Ellner). The brand ethos is to repair and restore; the Active Recovery Broth is full of ferments and hydrators for firm, smooth, supple skin.
Flaneur Oudh Nur
Flaner is an Australian fragrance house hand-made in Melbourne. Oudh Nur is the newest in its portfolio, a rich, moody mix of oud, jasmine, tobacco, saffron and rose. It's warm and enveloping — for anyone who likes a fragrance that stays on their clothes for days.
Jones Road Miracle Balm
Jones Road, the beauty brand by industry legend Bobbi Brown, has finally launched in Australia. The product I'm the most interested in is the Miracle Balm, a multi-use formula that instantly hydrates and illuminates the skin for a dewy finish without too much coverage. You can even choose a shade to suit your skin's unique colouring or undertone.
The Beauty Chef Glow Sachets
The Beauty Chef have gone and answered all our prayers with these individual use Glow sachets. Perfect for travel or long weekends away.
La Prairie Skin Caviar Hydro Emulsion
This fluid is formulated to deeply hydrate the skin while softening the look of lines and wrinkles. It's lightweight and has a velvety texture, perfect for La Prairie fans who want the reparative caviar benefits without any residue left on the skin.
Westman Atelier Lip Shape Lip Liner
Gucci Westman has gone and created a lip liner for people who aren't really into lip liner. Creamy and soft, it gently defines the lip contour for a fuller-looking (but believable) pout. The colour range is also very beautiful.
