Summer brings its own vibe to beauty. As temperatures soar and we embrace that sweat-meets-glow finish, heavy foundations and sugary-sweet scents take a back seat, making way for fresh, airy, and vibrant accents. The good news? The beauty industry is fully on board with our cravings. From cult-fave products to fragrances that whisk you away to a summer evening in the French countryside, and beauty bag essentials for the smoothest, baby-soft shave this bikini season — welcome to this week’s Wonderglam.

Brow 1990 Gel Pencil, MERIT

Brow products are like a love affair: once you find your perfect match, you stick with it through thick and thin. But if you’re still on the hunt for the one, MERIT’s latest launch is definitely worth a look. The Brow 1990 Gel Pencil is among the slimmest on the market, featuring a soft gel formula that allows you to build coverage and colour with precision, avoiding any heavy-handed strokes. Available in four shades, it’s a no-brainer for those who prefer a natural look — and an excellent choice for beginners perfecting their brow technique.

En Plein Air 1968, Jouissance

“Wear En Plein Air if you want to smell like an unassuming art critic on her way to an orgy,” teases Jouissance’s cheeky description of this fragrance. I was sold instantly. This bright, citrusy, and fresh scent is the epitome of sensual meets nature chic. It’s one for lovers of grass imprints on bare skin, fresh linen sheets, cotton undies, and early mornings in the French countryside with a bouquet of white flowers in hand. A delicious scent for warm days and nights, but bold enough to become your olfactory signature.

Who said oral care has to be boring? Sweden-based Selahatin is introducing the future of oral luxury with a series of whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes, and oral sprays designed to transform your sink time into a full wellness experience. With top notes of verbena, bergamot, cardamom, and pine, this toothpaste will have you wondering, why are we so obsessed with mint, anyway? The packaging is just as pleasing to the eyes as the taste is for your mouth — your chance to become the friend group MVP on your next holiday just shot up.

Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF 50, Neutrogena

Sunscreen is a year-round must—hopefully, you’re on board with that by now. But especially in summer, protecting your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays is crucial. Neutrogena’s new Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF 50 is a stellar addition to your beauty bag if you’re after a lightweight, non-sticky, and dewy formula this season. It layers perfectly under makeup and, best of all, won’t break the bank.

Shaving Kit, DeoDoc

Ingrown hairs and razor burns? No thanks. If you’re into shaving, it’s time to level up your game. While hair removal is totally optional, if you’re choosing to do it, there are expert-approved products that can make the process smooth, seamless, and irritation-free. DeoDoc’s beginner set is a great starting point, featuring their hero products: pre-shave oil, shaving foam, and after-shave balm. As temperatures rise and hemlines shorten, you won’t have to worry about bumps or the dryness caused by that crusty old razor.
