Welcome to Face Value, Highsnobiety’s monthly guide to the best new beauty products and the brands behind them.

Ah, July. Hopefully, you're somewhere with limited access to e-mail, unplugged and unbothered. If you're not, we've got you covered with this month's best beauty buys — fragrance, makeup, and skincare included.

From ELOREA's umami take on gourmand perfumes to Santa Maria Novella's most beautiful bath product yet, these are the five July beauty drops worth adding to cart.

Laneige - Eye Sleeping Mask

Laneige's viral Sleeping Mask isn't just for your lips. The skincare brand debuted a version of its best-selling product formulated for the eye area. Cooling and hydrating, it can be applied as a mask at night or dabbed on in the morning for an instant de-puffing effect.

ELOREA - Jang

ELOREA sees your vanilla and caramel gourmands and raises you Jang, a perfume featuring an aged soy sauce note that adds a salty, smoky depth to the fragrance's floral heart.

Kevyn Aucoin - Sculpt & Define Contour Book IV

Kevyn Aucoin's contour, blush, and highlighting powders — a favorite among makeup artists for their true-to-skin shades — are housed in an eight-pan palette that makes sculpting the face way less complicated.

Santa Maria Novella - L'Iris Bath Gel

Santa Maria Novella's Il Giardini Medicei fragrance collection, inspired by the plants that grow in the famous convent's garden, is now available as a range of bath products. L'Iris, my favorite scent from the collection, makes for a powdery, perfectly comforting body wash. And we'd be remiss not to mention the packaging — the gel is poured in a gold-capped bottle that might put your other shower products to shame.

Ursa Major - Green Slate Mineral Polish

By know, we all know that using a certain apricot face scrub is a skincare no-no. If you want the satisfying, dead-skin-cell-sloughing action of a physical exfoliant without the micro-tears, try Ursa Major's Green Slate Mineral Polish. It's formulated with volcanic ash, a gentler alternative to ground-up fruit pits, plus salicylic acid to help clear pores.
