CGC: Just Landed
A Round-Up of CGC Newness.
June turned up the heat — and so did we. From cutting-edge biometrics to bold, pigment-packed lip stains, our latest launches are making waves this summer.
MIMÉTIQUE A skincare brand using biomimetics to mimic and enhance the skin’s natural properties: the new generation of French dermocosmetics 3.0 founded by cosmetic chemist, Fabienne Sebaoun. Fabienne worked with the University AgroParisTech to develop and patent a new formulation complex: SMR-C5 COMPLEX - a skin Mimetic Restore Complex using 5 active ingredients that are naturally present in the skin, selected for their ability to strengthen the skin's structure.
With clinical backing and over 25% actives in every formula, the high-performance range includes:
Skin Cloud (Cleansing Balm) - gently removes makeup, soothes and nourishes (£44)
Skin Revive (Face Serum) - smooths, lifts and brightens (£76)
Skin Restore (Face Cream) - firms, plumps and hydrates (£66)
Skin Booster (Face Oil) - nourishes, smooths and gives a natural glow (£55)

Hermès Beauty welcomes a palette of fresh new desires. A collection of six limited edition nail enamels to illuminate fingers and toes and usher in summer days. From pastel tones to colours warmed by a blazing sun, the six shades in this subtle palette capture that moment, suspended in time, between the gentleness of spring and the promise of a hot summer.
Glossier, Body Spritz Orange Blossom Neroli and Sandstone, £35

OUAI’s iconic Super Dry formula is back! It has the same powerful spray and absorbs oil, dirt & sweat without leaving a residue so you can skip hair wash day. The double starch blend is super absorbent, never leaves a residue and smells fresh too, thanks to long-lasting Melrose Place or Cape Town fragrance.
Augustinus Bader, The Elixir, £435
An ultra-concentrated formula that helps accelerate renewal and rapidly reduce visible signs of aging, while supporting skin cell health. Powered by Advanced TFC8® and an exosome-rich, Exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate, The Elixir by Augustinus Bader delivers both instant and long-term results.

Diptyque invites you to discover its Summer Fruit Garden – a rural idyll that brings together perfumes, care products and scented objects to enhance the art of summertime living. The collection features Diptyque’s first ever collaboration: The Lip Oil, created with Susanne Kaufmann, which beautifully combines sensorality and olfactory pleasure.
Violette_FR, Lip Nectar, £30
Introducing a high-shine, ultra-hydrating, high-performance lip stain. The innovative oil-in-water emulsion blends the rich pigment of a stain with nourishing ingredients like squalane, shea butter, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, creating moisture-locking colour that lasts. Inspired by nature, each shade blooms into its richest colour just after application, with hues drawn from nectar-rich flowers for an indulgent, glossy finish and a buildable, long-lasting colour.
Anastasia Beverly Hills, Hydraprime SPF 50, £39.00
The ultimate base for flawless skin - this all-in-one SPF primes, hydrates and protects in one silky step. With a clear, weightless finish and skin-first ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane, it wears like a glowy primer while shielding with SPF 50 – leaving zero white cast and a radiant, prepped finish.
Westman Atelier, Eye Activator, £110
This multi-lamellar, skin compatible formula delivers a layered release of 12 potent-yet-gentle actives, without disrupting the skin. The brand has developed a proprietary complex of niacinamide and a potent, peptide trio that are encapsulated in cutting-edge, exosome technology - one of the most efficient ways to deliver actives to skin. Smaller than the size of a pore, this technology goes deeper into skin’s surface and enhances active penetration for visible results in just 4 weeks.
