As a self- proclaimed beauty and skincare lover, I have been spoiled rotten with new product drops and new brands.

From glowing skin to heavenly scents, I’ve rounded up my absolute faves, so let’s dive in!

First up: something fun, new, and emerging.

Have You Met: By Yuliya?

By Yuliya is a fragrance brand founded by Yuliya Lozovyk, inspired by her Ukrainian Russian heritage and love for self-expression through scent.

Seeing fragrance as deeply personal and empowering, she created By Yuliya to bridge the gap between luxury perfumes and affordable mists.

Her mission: to help women feel confident, unique, and truly themselves with every spritz.

Twenty-Four Seven Perfume Mist by Yuliya

What it’s serving: Zesty citrus vibes meet the sultry depth of jasmine, sandalwood, and vanilla—think golden hour bottled up.

Chic, warm, and inviting. Bold, yet wearable.

The packaging is superb, a gorgeous glass bottle with the finest mist.

The pink and marron branding really speaks to me, stunning!

Made for: Anyone who wants a signature scent that screams effortless sophistication.

Twin Flame Perfume Mist By Yuliya

What it’s serving: Bold, spicy, and dripping in drama. Notes of rose, saffron, amber, and blackcurrant blend for a scent that’s sultry AF.

If a scent had a “main character” energy this is the one. Heady, rich, and unforgettable.

Made for: Babes who love a head-turning, intoxicating fragrance.

I’ve been keeping this in my bag for on-the-go spritzes.

Body Care Done Right With Alpha-H

I love seeing brands take body care seriously and launching products to target other parts of the body not just our faces.

My two faves are from Alpha-H.

Retinol Reboot Exfoliating Body Treatment By Alpha-H

What it’s serving: Glow infusing treatment for your neck, décolletage, shoulders, and arms.

Packed with Retinol and Glycolic Acid, this overnight treatment visibly firms skin, tackles sun damage, and smooths uneven texture in just two weeks.

My skin is loving this one, no dry patches or irritation in sight.

Made for: Babes noticing signs of ageing or sun damage creeping in.

Sunscreen is a must after using this product, best applied at night.

Texture + scent: Lightweight and luxurious with a subtle citrus scent.

Daily Dose Multivitamin Body Serum Alpha-H

What it’s serving: Your new morning MVP. This fast-absorbing serum is loaded with Niacinamide, Vitamins C+E, and Hyaluronic Acid to brighten, hydrate, and smooth your skin.

My body care routine has been upgraded – now I can’t go back to my “regular” moisturiser.

Made for: Anyone looking to upgrade their body care game—because moisturisers are so last year.

Texture + scent: Lightweight and non-sticky with minimal scent, so it won’t clash with your perfume.

Pro Tip: Apply post-shower and be out the door in 60 seconds flat. Hydrated skin, no waiting around.

Have You Tried Remi Organics?

Founded by Debbie Smith in early 2024, is dedicated to clean beauty and simplicity.

Debbie earned a diploma in natural skincare formulating and launched Remi to provide busy women with highly effective, natural, and sustainable products.

Why I love Remi Organics: High-performance, marine-based formulas made from sustainably sourced, organic ingredients.

Designed for busy lifestyles, Remi offers quick routines that deliver glowing, youthful skin—all with recyclable packaging and a commitment to clean beauty.

The Remi Organic products I am completely obsessed with:

Brightening Oil Cleanser

What it’s serving: This hydrating oil cleanser melts away makeup and unclogs pores, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.

I’m really into oil cleanser lately, my skin just looks the best after a good oil cleansing.

Bonus: it evens out your skin tone too!

Made for: Anyone who loves a luxe cleansing routine and if your skin is going through a “funny” sensitive moment, this one is for you.

Texture + scent: Silky smooth and lightweight with a clean, spa-like finish.

Pro Tip: Massage it into dry skin before rinsing off with water—it transforms into the dreamiest milky texture. Plus, there’s a refill available!

Marine Polishing Mask

What it’s serving:

Two words: multi-tasking magic.

This mask gently exfoliates dead skin cells, clears pores, and infuses skin with vitamins and minerals for a fresh, hydrated glow.

The packaging is 10/10 & comes with a little spatula.

Who it’s for: Literally everyone. Sensitive skin? No problem—this mask is gentle but effective.

Texture + scent: Creamy and luxurious with a subtle floral scent and warm, citrusy undertones.

Pro Tip: Leave it on for 20 minutes as a mask and let your skin soak up all the antioxidant goodness.

Marine Serum

What it’s serving: Lightweight, non-sticky hydrating serum packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

This serum plumps, smooths, and reduces redness my skin drank this baby up!

Who it’s for: Anyone craving that bouncy, supple skin feel.

Texture + scent: A dreamy marine-blue hue with a light berry scent from blueberry oil.

Pro Tip: Use it morning and night to calm, hydrate, and refresh your skin. It’s a glow-getter in a bottle!

Because beauty and skincare aren’t just about your face anymore.

From bold fragrances to glow-boosting body care and routine changing cleansers, these new product drops are my new daily staples, and I couldn’t wait to share them with you.

Thanks for being here!
