The latest in skincare, cosmetics and fragrance from the best international brands

There are some launches that even the most experienced of beauty editors still get excited about, and a brand new Jo Malone fragrance is one of them. For its new scent, Jo Malone has taken the most British of childhood memories for olfactory inspiration. The result is Blackberry & Bay, an homage to summer days spent picking juicy blackberries from wild hedgerows, sharpened up with the aromatic addition of bay leaves. 100ml, £76

We’ve known for a long time that active ingredients are essential weapons in the fight against ageing. One of the latest formulas to benefit from such discoveries is Lancôme’s Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator formula. This new eye serum contains an active ingredient duo that, when combined, boosts youthful proteins on the skin’s surface to combat fine lines and dark circles. And Lancôme’s unique new applicator massages the eye area to drain excess fluid and help reduce puffiness. £44; exclusive to Harrods

When a cosmetics collection is designed by a world-renowned make-up artist, it’s going to be something special. For the autumn season, Bobbi Brown has created the exclusive Pretty Powerful Party Collection for Harrods. The collection is a carefully edited line of glossy must-haves in a gold cosmetics purse. The limited-edition Sandstone Shimmer Brick creates luminous skin, while a brown eye pencil and black mascara give definition to eyes. Finish up by applying Bare Sparkle High Shimmer Lipgloss for the perfect party pout. £62; exclusive to Harrods

Colour blocking is having a beauty moment. But if the trend pushes you a little beyond your beauty boundaries, inject some colour into your gadgets instead. Clarisonic, the revolutionary system that cleans six times more effectively than manual cleansing, is launching a turquoise Clarisonic Plus this month. BelleCore, meanwhile, has released its travel-size cellulite-busting BabyBelle body buffer in a new lavender shade. Clarisonic Plus £179; BabyBelle £295. Both exclusive to Harrods
