Pop star and actor Selena Gomez launched her make-up brand stateside back in 2020 and now it’s finally stocked on this side of the pond at Space NK. Hurrah!

Rare Beauty is all about dewy, glowy skin. American fans have been raving about the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, which comes in eight shades. Gomez says her fave is coral-toned Joy.

Trendy London nail salon Rawr has launched its first product range, bringing the brand’s cool and colourful aesthetic to beauty blenders, make-up brushes, nail accessories and hair tools.

For all your blow-drying and hair-styling needs, we love the pink and purple brush and comb set.

3. Confessions of a Rebel

Mariya Nurislamova, founder of American subscription service Scentbird, decided to create her own unisex perfume range, because she was bored of smelling the same old notes in mass-market scents.

Now available in the UK for the first time, Confessions of a Rebel is aimed at fragrance fans who want something a bit different. With wonderfully different (and sometimes sweary) names, these attention-grabbing juices are joyfully unconventional.

Confessions of a Rebel About Last Night Eau de Parfum, £97.03.

4. 17

Much-loved make-up brand 17 was discontinued a few years ago, but now it’s back with a whole new attitude.

Featuring a huge line-up of budget-friendly, youth-focused products (prices start at £2), the revamped range includes shimmery eyeshadows and bold lip glosses, as well as skin- and brow-perfecting essentials.
