From skincare to makeup and men’s fragrance…
Somehow, it’s already July and we’re now officially into the second half of the year. And whilst that is somewhat terrifying, particularly given many of us have spent four of the last six months indoors, the start of a new month has a beautiful silver lining: brand new beauty products to treat yourself to. Here are seven of the best new beauty launches happening in July that you’re going to want to add to cart.
Caudalie Limited Edition Beauty Elixir
What you need to know: To celebrate the start of summer, French beauty brand Caudalie is releasing a special limited edition of its cult-favourite Beauty Elixir. Made with 100 per cent natural ingredients, the Elixir is known for its glow boosting properties – it also tightens pores and is perfect for prepping your skin before applying makeup and setting it once you’re done. The pretty pink bottle was first released last year, and the brand has brought it back for a second so if you missed out last time, now’s your chance to get your hands on one (or five).
Price: $22 for 30ml or $59 for 100ml.
Where to get it: Available July 3 at caudalie.ca.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss
What you need to know: If you’re looking for an easy way to add a little volume to your lips, Maybelline’s new Lifter Gloss is your answer. The formulation contains hyaluronic acid which works to smooth the surface of your lips whilst simultaneously enhancing the lip contour. Plus, the large wand makes application a breeze – just one swipe and you’re good to go.
Price: $10.99
Where to get it: Available from July 7 at mass retailers and drugstores.

Developed in partnership with makeup artists, the new line includes the Aqua Resist Colour Pencil – a highly pigmented pencil liner with a gel-like texture available in 10 shades – and the Aqua Resist Smoky Shadow – a 3-in-1 eye stick that can be used as kohl, eyeliner and eyeshadow available in 14 shades. With face masks becoming a regular part of our everyday lives, consider these your new best friends.
Price: The Aqua Resist Colour Pencils are $29 each and the Aqua Resist Smoky Shadow are $30 each.

Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Acqua Reviscentalis
What you need to know: Giorgio Armani is introducing a new product to its Crema Nera range this month in the form of the Acqua Reviscentalis, a skin-reviving treatment lotion that hydrates, clarifies, brightens and refines skin. The product is formulated with the brand’s signature Reviscentalis ingredient, an extract from the miracle resurrection plant “which stimulates skin protection, detoxification and regeneration by capturing 85 per cent of free radicals,” according to the brand. The formula also contains glycolic acid to help gently exfoliate skin and reveal newer, more radiant skin.
Price: $200
Where to get it: Available from July at armani-beauty.ca.
Dior Sauvage Fragrance
What you need to know: Dior is launching a new iteration of its Sauvage men’s fragrance this month in a brand new 200ml size. The fragrance contains notes of bergamot, mandarin, cardamom, dry amber core, leather, Sri Lankan sandalwood, tonka bean, Papuan vanilla absolute and “candied” raspberry. It was created by master perfumer François Demachy who says of his creation, “I imagined an intense freshness meeting the smoothenss of an Oriental scent. I kept the powerful soul of Sauvage intact by giving it nocturnal accents, an animal attraction and some rounder facets.” The new fragrance is housed in a midnight blue bottle tinged with light to mimic the night sky lit up by stars.
Price: $240
Where to get it: Available now at Hudson’s Bay.
Chanel Les Beiges Summer of Glow
What you need to know: Whilst you may not be able to go to the Med this summer, you can still bring the feeling of the French Riviera to your face thanks to Chanel’s new Les Beiges Summer of Glow collection. Inspired by sunkissed skin and seawater, and the freedom found in summer soujourns, the new collection includes two illuminating powders, two highlighting fluids, the new and improved Soleil Tan Bronzer (now called the Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream), a five-pan eyeshadow palette, a lip balm and two nail polishes – all in summer-ready hues.
Price: Le Vernis are $35 each, the Healthy Glow Lip Balm is $46, the Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette is $75, the Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream and Sheer Healthy Glow Highlighting Fluids are $60 each and the Healthy Glow Illuminating Powders are $82 each.
