Each summer, French fashion designer Jean Paul Gau Each summer, French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier unveils a limited edition La Belle fragrance that comes with the most creative packaging. For 2026, he’s designed La Belle Rosea, an aquatic-floral scent for her that layers notes of peony, aquatic accord and vanilla to dazzling effect. These are addictive and alluring scents meant to be noticed. The fragrance is meant to be as beautiful as a faceted precious stone, hence the semi-precious stone on the bottle. These editions are particularly creative and interesting. Definitely worth checking out. #davelackiebeauty
If you are looking to upgrade you cosmetics case f If you are looking to upgrade you cosmetics case for summer travel, UK celebrity makeup artist @lisaeldridgemakeup has a stylish option for you. It’s her Luxury Beauty Bag made with Liberty Fabric, the iconic British retailer. She handpicked this print of dusky pink, burnt ochre and Bordeaux accents that has an almost Art Deco character. It boasts a gold zip pull and Lisa’s signature logo. What I like is it is roomy enough to carry all your skincare and makeup with ease. It’s beautifully done. Available on her website. #davelackiebeauty
Exciting news for fans of Dolce and Gabbana’s Ligh Exciting news for fans of Dolce and Gabbana’s Light Blue Pour Homme fragrance, one of the world’s most iconic men’s scent. Master perfumer Alberto Morillas has just blended a NEW Eau de Parfum version of the scent that he describes as a ‘golden, luminous and refined fragrance’. The fresh aquatic-woody fragrance opens with the lively freshness of Calabrian Yellow Mandarin which blends beautifully with an accord of aromatic and salty notes thanks to Seawater Cypress. It closes with a sensual base of cedarwood, creating a refined, woody and modern composition. In my experience, this is a fragrance that every guy likes. Clean and modern. #davelackiebeauty
As smooth as an icy summer cocktail, Charlotte Til As smooth as an icy summer cocktail, Charlotte Tilbury has just launched her Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Stick in a range of  12 beautiful summer-themed matte blue and satin shades. These self-priming, crease-proof colours are designed to glide on effortlessly to a smooth, seamless finish. The formula contains Vitamin E to condition and hydrate while Colour-Boosting Technology has improved the pigment release and intensity.

What I love about these shadows is they elevate the neutral look thanks to bronzed and coppered finishes. Amber Haze may just be the perfect beachy-bronzed colour, while bronzed garnet is ideal for evening. They can be worn alone or layered for a custom look. Nicely done. #davelackiebeauty #charlottetilbury #exaggereyes

More than three decades ago, fashion designer Isse More than three decades ago, fashion designer Issey Miyake granted Jacques Cavallier carte blanche to capture ‘the scent of water on a woman’s skin’ within a single bottle. With L’Eau d’Issey, the fashion house introduced one of the earliest aquatic fragrances for women.

This month sees the debut of Eaux Essentielles, new compositions, conceived by perfumer Marie Salamagne. (There is a men’s and women’s fragrance). “For these new Eaux d’Issey fragrances, I drew inspiration from the very essence of pure water. Its scent, perceptible along riverbanks, captures the luminosity and freshness of the aquatic world. For this reason, each fragrance expresses its invigorating energy with clarity and vitality,” she explains.

“For L’Eau d’Issey Eau Essentielle (for her), I sought to explore the sense of minerality through a floral and musky signature,” she continues. At the top, crystalline and fruity facets of a pear accord lend a delicately sweet freshness. She then adds bergamot citrus, an infusion of jasmine, orange blossom, musks and cedarwood. This result is a fresh, light aquatic-floral scent that is a wonderful homage to the original. #davelackiebeauty
