Welcome to Face Value, Highsnobiety’s monthly guide to the best new beauty products and the brands behind them.
It might be summer vacation season, but our favorite beauty brands haven't been taking any time off. In fact, they've been so busy that we couldn't narrow this month's new releases down to our usual five picks.
From Guerlain's gilded hair brush to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's freshest cologne yet, read on for the six June beauty drops worth adding to cart.
D.S. & Durga - Mahogany Kora
A collaboration between model and designer Armando Cabral and niche fragrance darling D.S. & Durga, Mahogany Kora is a symphonic scent — literally. Capturing the spirit of the kora, an instrument from Cabral's native West Africa, the fragrance is a rich and resinous blast of tangy wood, warm vanilla, and patchouli.
ZIIP - Halo
Three years after launching its inaugural microcurrent device, ZIIP has updated the handheld facial sculpting and smoothing gadget with new treatments and a streamlined design.
Enter: the Halo, a palm-sized apparatus offering a menu of facial treatments powered by nanocurrent and microcurrent, which stimulate muscle contraction and collagen production. Whether you're looking to contour your face, zap breakouts, or even skin tone, the Halo has you covered — consider it your new skin savior.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Acqua Media
The latest addition to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's ultra-fresh Acqua range, Acqua Media is the ultimate summer fragrance. Zesty and citrus-forward, the scent is as clean and refreshing as a gulp of ice water on a sweltering day.
Pattern x Sergio Hudson - Curl-Conscious Robe
Add some style to your spa day. Pattern, Tracee Ellis Ross' curl-first hair care line, teamed up with designer Sergio Hudson on a bathrobe that goes beyond typical loungewear (yes, the robe is designed with removable shoulder pads).
Guerlain - Scalp & Hair Care Brush
Guerlain's newly launched hair care line is as luxurious as its skincare, makeup, and fragrance collections. For the Rolls Royce of hair brushes, look no further than Guerlain's. It's a work of gilded art that you'll want to display on your bathroom shelf.
Westman Atelier - Liquid Super Loaded
Wear it as highlighter, under foundation, or on its own — however and wherever you use it, Westman Atelier's pearlescent complexion enhancer adds instant glow.
