Tangle Teezer’s Biggest Brush Update in Years Has Landed
Tangle Teezer has launched its biggest brush update in nearly a decade, and it’s been five years in the making. The Complete Carebrush is designed to do more than detangle, with longer teeth to smooth the cuticle and massage the scalp, plus shorter teeth to work through knots with less resistance. It comes in three versions for fine, straight-to-wavy, and curly-to-coily hair. It’s available now at tangleteezer.com for £22 ($22.99).
UKLash Unveils Lash Lift Gel
UKLash is giving its lash routine an upgrade with its new Lash Lift Gel, out today. Designed to hold, define, and lift, the lightweight formula works on bare lashes or as a prep step under mascara. It brings skincare benefits to the table too — packed with vitamin E, glycerin, and hexapeptide-1 to nourish, plus a subtle caramel pigment that gradually tints fair lashes over time.
Ouai Adds Laurel Canyon to Its Fragrance Family
A new scent has joined the Ouai fragrance family. Laurel Canyon is a woody eau de parfum inspired by driving through the Hollywood Hills with the windows down and the radio up. It opens with fig leaf, green mandarin, and almond milk, then softens into jasmine, violet petals, and orris root before drying down to cedarwood, musk, and tonka bean. The fragrance is now available exclusively at Ulta in the US. UK shoppers can find it at theouai.co.uk.
Erborian Updates Its Bestselling CC Crème
Erborian has given its cult CC Crème an update. The new formula keeps the colour-correcting pigments that made it a bestseller, but adds 2% centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid for more of a skincare feel. It still adapts as you blend, helping to even out tone and soften the look of texture without looking heavy, and there’s now a wider shade range too.
Scent by Love Arrives With Perfumed Papers
New brand Scent by Love is putting a modern spin on an old-school fragrance ritual with its scented papers. Inspired by the perfumed papers once used in 19th-century French homes, the individually scented strips can be tucked into a handbag, suitcase, drawer, or wardrobe, or slowly burned to fragrance a room. The brand’s signature scent blends fruity raspberry with warm musk. Each envelope contains 48 papers, is priced at £13.95, and is available online at scentbylove.co.uk.
Fyle Launches With a Five-Minute, Blade-Free Manicure
Fyle has just launched with a new take on the at-home manicure, built around caring for the cuticle rather than cutting it away. Founded by Isabelle Magkoeva and developed alongside nail technicians, the brand’s five-minute File Manicure Method uses its filing strips and buffing pads to remove dry, dead skin without blades or heat. Prices start at £10.99 ($14.90), with shipping to the UK and US.
