There’s cult-favourite restocks, more shades we’ve all been itching to try out, spring-infused scents, and so much more to look forward to in the beauty world – welcome to this week’s Wonderglam.
After months of enduring dismally grey Monday mornings, the clocks have finally gone forward (which didn’t sit well with our Sunday morning lie in), the skies are beaming with bright blues and sunny hues, and everybody and their mothers are flocking to a nearby park to soak in the sun. And, you know what that means – it’s time to whip out that uber dewy, barely there makeup routine. If this sounds like you, then your wish is our command, as we have the cult-favourite products and fragrances to make the dream makeup routine as we segway into summer.
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Bio-Radiant Glassy Highlighter Balm
Cream products have quickly weaved their way through the ranks and entered top spot in our makeup routines for the past few years, as that loose setting powder gathers dust at the bottom of our bags, sheen is in ladies! And Mayhem’s poster girl, Lady Gaga, has been listening. Formulated with 64% of skincare, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga has introduced its Glassy highlighter Balm into its beauty family – available in six shades, from opal pinks to topaz bronzes, these cream highlighters are the perfect makeup essential to swipe onto the cheekbones whilst on the go. Housed in a swanky iridescent tube, each glassy highlighter is intended to hydrate, glow, and replenish skin.

Kylie Cosmetics’ Tinted Butter Balms launches 3 new shades
With every dewy makeup routine, comes a new go-to glossy lip combo – enter Kylie Cosmetics’ Tinted Butter Balms, which has just launched three new nude shades. It’s barely there, blink and you’ll miss it, no makeup makeup done best: think velvety, cappuccino-style browns that wash the lips ever so slightly, or lighter beiges that emanate a 2020s Gabriette-style concealer lip. Formulated with jojoba oil that nourishes dry lips and gives them that smooch-able pout, available in Honey, Spiced, and Mocha kiss shades, what’s not to love?
Billie Eilish’s new fragrance, Your Turn
Move over winter perfumes, we need a new fragrance to celebrate the arrival of blossom-clad trees and bright blue skies: coming in as the second offering of Eilish’s endeavour into the fragrance world, Your Turn, makes itself known as a woody, fresh, youthful eau de parfum. With top notes of cardamon, ginger, and bergamot peel, alongside inflections of jasmine, sandalwood, amber and coconut water, it’s the perfect blend of deep-meets-fresh scents; and will certainly be making its way to the top of our fragrance shelf.

Gloss Bomb Oil Luminising Lip Oil N’ Gloss, Fenty Beauty
Fenty Beauty needs no introduction – a makeup brand that caters for all, its products flatter anyone who dons it – queen Riri knows what’s up. If you, like me, head straight to your cart every time the beauty brand drops a new product, then listen up here (or close your ears, depending on the current state of your bank account), a new lip gloss has made its way into the Fenty fam. The Gloss Bomb Oil luminising lip oil n’ gloss: a buttery lip gloss infused with some seriously lip-loving ingredients in seven lustrous shades. Vitamin E, Shea butter, hyaluronic filling sphere and passionfruit oil, the Lip Oil N’ Gloss leaves lips feeling revitalised and nourished – available in-store and online at FentyBeauty.com. It’s an absolute must-have as we move into the warmer months, with no need to care about winter’s winds getting our hair stuck on our gloss-stricken lips anymore!

Colour Glaze lip and Cheek Pigment, Simihaze Beauty
I’m a serious sucker for a two-in-one makeup product, my oldest trick in the book is a trusty red lippie that I blend into my cheeks, lips, nose, you name it. So it’s music to my ears to hear about Simihaze Beauty, the beauty brand founded by Palestinian DJs and sisters Simi and Haza Khadra, which have welcomed the arrival of its Colour Glaze Lip and Cheek Pigment. Delivering mirror-like sheerness to the skin, which can be simply applied with the finger, it leaves a wash of healthy colour that sinks into the skin as if you were blushing at your latest work crush. In six sumptuous shades, the Colour Glaze Lip and Cheek Pigment is available in-store and online at Selfridges, online at Cult Beauty, and simihazebeauty.com.

Glossier’s new fragrance, You Fleur
If we had to describe spring in a scent, it would probably smell like Glossier’s latest addition to the internet’s favourite fragrance family… You Fleur! Just like its OG sibling, Fleur is designed to be a personal skin-scent enhancer — only this time, it’s grounded in musky base notes that shift slightly on everyone. Airy, luminous, and softly powdery, Fleur is an elevated spring classic: perfect for transitional weather, cosying up crisp mornings and blooming into a bouquet of white flowers with a subtle pinch of salt for a sunny afternoon. A step up from Glossier’s scent line so far — we won’t be getting enough of this one anytime soon.

Dior Forever Glow Luminser, Dior Beauty
Sat inside a fitting Cannage-engraved compact, the Dior Beauty family just gained a new member – the Dior Forever Glow Luminiser, a highlighter designed to give you that mirror-like, wet looking finish. Boasting seven metallic shades, and three different finishes: Halo – for a reflective glow, Strobe – a duochrome finish, and Sequin – a more natural shimmer, Summer face cards have never looked so radiant! Formulated with hyaluronic acid – a signature ingredient for the Forever franchise, the Glow Luminiser can be applied with either the finger or a brush, resulting in a hydrated, second-skin texture.
