As we reach the end of the month it’s time for us to round up our favorite buzz-worthy beauty launches from this month. June is always a great month for beauty launches, brands often come out with fun products to play with over the summer months, and skincare brands focus on delivering versatile products to simplify your routine. We’ve got everything from celebrity collaborations to makeup for the metaverse. Let’s dig in.
Makeup
Westman Atelier Vital Pressed Skincare Powder
This makeup-skincare crossover has been created to strip down your routine and give your skin some extra TLC. Enriched with vitamin C and probiotics, the powder acts to protect your skin from harsh blue light and free radicals that can lead to early signs of aging. Apply it to manage shine over the top of your every day makeup, or use it on its own to softly mask any problem areas for the perfect ‘I woke up like this’ look.
Tarte Cosmetics Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump
If you remember OG lip plumping glosses you’ll be able to recall that almost unpleasant tingling feel that came straight after swiping the gloss across your lips. Well Juicy Lip Plump is so not here for that. This plumping lip gloss offers tingle-free non-stick shine packed with hydrating ingredients to condition your lips while making them look super gorgeous.
Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer
Another makeup product that’s been packed with skincare ingredients, CT’s Beautiful Skin Bronzer contains hydrating hyaluronic acid and vitamin D3 to condition your skin. Available in four shades, the cream bronzer can be used to contour your face and body to get a summer glow without stepping foot on the beach.
Haus Labs Le Monster Lip Crayon
Lady Gaga’s makeup line launched with a stellar range of clean products this month. Our favorite has to be their statement lip crayons. Available in 12 demi-matte shades and one shimmer shade, the brand is using proprietary technology to moisturize and nourish with mango seed oil and ceramides. Use the crayon to line your lips or as an all-over lip color.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
This powder-to-balm coverage-boosting is the latest launch by Danessa Myricks and it’s the perfect summer makeup staple. It adds coverage without being cakey, and soaks up any unwanted oils throughout the day. Its hydrating formula will keep your skin feeling and looking its best regardless of what you get up to. It’s available in 11 shades including a universal translucent powder.
Skincare
Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42
This one is going to be the perfect ally for anyone spending the summer in the city. Shiseido’s latest SPF is a hyaluronic-infused sunscreen that has been formulated specifically to protect skin from both UV and pollution, both of which reach their peaks in the summer months. Its oil-free formula doubles up as a primer so you can use it as the last step in your skincare routine before putting makeup on.
Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Omega Rich Botanical Night Cream
The new rich night cream is everything Kiehl’s does best: potent natural ingredients, luxurious texture and scent, and effective results. Apply the whipped cream generously before bed to give your skin an overnight pamper, and wake up in the morning with luxuriously moisturized skin.
As of Today R Peptide Renewing Mask
By employing neuro-calming peptide technology these masks are designed to support skin and reverse stress-related signs of aging. The masks come in packs of five, and can be used weekly to give your skin an extra dose of TLC. The liquid on the masks is milky and can be massaged into your face, neck, and hands after you peel the mask off.
This kit will be your new go-to when you feel a breakout brewing. It’s made up of two packs of Good Light’s famous pimple patches, and a tube of newly launched moon balm. To take care of your pimples, pop a patch on the affected area and let it work its magic. Once the swelling has passed, take care of the aftermath with the New Moon Balm to help your skin heal.
Lancôme Absolue Revitalizing Oléo-Serum
If you’re looking to splurge on a launch this month Lancôme’s Oléo-Serum has to be top of your list. A potent moisturizing serum that has a focus on targeting signs of aging, the formula is designed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improving radiance and suppleness. The effects from the serum are generally visible after the first use, but optimal results come after using it for three weeks or longer.
Haircare
R+Co CASSETTE Curl Defining Masque
Formulated specifically to nourish curly hair, R+Co’s latest masque penetrates deep into the hair to nourish it and prevent split ends. The conditioner-replacement should be used once a week, and can be left on for five minutes to give it time to work its magic. Expect bouncy, defined and nourished curls after using it.
Like most summers, beach waves are having their moment again, and Cermonia’s latest launch is here to make your beachy dreams a reality. This buildable texturizing spray can help add volume and intentional messiness to even the straightest of hair. Not only that, but it also protects your hair from sun damage, too.

Drunk Elephant Silkamino™ Mega-Moisturizing Masker
Sometimes your hair needs more than the care your regular conditioner can offer. That’s where the Mega-Moisturizing Masker comes in: a deep-conditioning treatment designed to strengthen and nourish hair. Apply the mask in-shower for a quick treat, or leave it on for up to half an hour for a deeper treatment. Apply it after washing your hair, and rinse your hair after use.
Bodycare
