Welcome to ELLE Beauty’s June/July It List, where our editors are serving up the most exciting launches of the summer. Not sure what to purchase? May we humbly suggest a bottle of fresh detoxifying green juice, reimagined into a designer fragrance by Louis Vuitton’s master perfumer? Or, if you’re looking for something a little more thrilling, perhaps a tingling face tonic by Adriana Lima’s dermatologist, or candles that capture ladolce vita? While we can’t guarantee you a rush outside of the one you’ll get from shopping, how about three different glow-inducing cheek-and-lip launches to help you fake it?
Regardless of how you fill your cart, all of these new launches are ELLE editor-approved.
A version of this story appears in the June/July 2023 issue of ELLE.
“Pro tip: Wear this silky powder where you’d brush on a highlighter (above the apples of your cheeks). The glowy flush will instantly lift the face.”—Margaux Anbouba, beauty editor
“Master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud was inspired by the experience of drinking a detoxifying juice with L.A. artist Alex Israel to create this scent. I am shocked by how much it actually smells like one. Perhaps it can become a signature scent for Erewhon.”—Kathleen Hou, beauty director
“La DoubleJ is known for its lively prints, which can now adorn your coffee table. I can’t think of a chicer housewarming gift to take to a friend.”—Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief
“This exfoliating toner, created by the dermatologist to models like Iman and Adriana Lima, is easy to use and effective. It features Ingleton’s signature Jamaican SuperFruit Blend and 8 percent glycolic acid, as well as licorice root extract, which is soothing for my sensitive skin.”—Danielle James, digital beauty director
“The clementine and pear notes and vibrant floral bottle capture a New York spring. It’s the perfect scent for new beginnings, and reminds me of the joy I felt when I moved to the city last May.”—Tasha Nicole Smith, beauty assistant
“I love this ‘choose-your-own-lip-adventure’ palette. One side is a moisturizing balm, the other a rich pigment. Mix together to create your lip look.”—K.H.
“I bring this nail kit to my biweekly manicure. The Chanel-branded stickers are so fun, and my nails are healthier with the reformulated polish (now with ceramides added).”—M. A.
