7 of the best waterproof mascaras that won't budge this summer
With summer in full swing, you might need to switch up your regular makeup routine to prevent it from melting off in the hot weather. If you're planning on wearing a full face of makeup, you'll definitely benefit from using a primer, swapping those powder bronzers and blushes for liquid or cream formulas, and finishing with a setting spray. And if you want to ensure your mascara stays in place all day, even through the humidity and sweat, you'll want to go for a waterproof formula. Below, we've rounded up 7 of the best waterproof mascaras for 2025. Some deliver longer-looking lashes, others add volume, or will separate and lift lashes. But the one thing they all have in common? Their formulas are smudge-proof, sweat-proof and pool-proof. The best waterproof mascaras Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Waterproof Mascara It might be a little difficult to take off but this waterproof mascara doesn't budge – and its curved brush creates longer-looking lashes. £35 Shop MAC MACStack Waterproof Mascara This clump‑free formula doesn't budge through water, tears or sweat, while the 'mega' brush gives you volume and length. £21.60 Shop Lancôme Lash Idôle Volumising Waterproof Mascara The clump-free, gel-like formula is water-, smudge- and sweat-proof, while the angled and curved wand allows you to coat every lash. £21 Shop L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Lift Waterproof Mascara The two-sided brush takes a little practice but once you get the knack of it, this waterproof formula delivers maximum length. £12.99 Shop Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara It has an hourglass-shaped brush that allows you to focus on length and fullness, and a conditioning formula that lives up to its waterproof claim. £28 Shop What's the best way to remove waterproof mascara? As waterproof mascara has been formulated with water-resistant ingredients to withstand sweat, tears and pool activities, it can be a little difficult to remove. Oils soften and dissolve the waterproof film on your lashes, so use an oil-based cleanser, make-up remover or micellar water t o take off your stubborn mascara. And remember to be gentle – the less rubbing the better.

L'Oréal has just revealed what the future of beauty will look like – here's a sneak peek
THE beauty industry probably isn't the first thing that springs to mind when you think of technology. However, with groundbreaking skincare ingredients, cutting-edge hair tools and innovative formulas, the beauty industry is home to some of the world's most exciting technology. Over the past few years, we've seen beauty brands roll out hundreds of exciting innovations, like AI-powered foundation and refillable perfume. Recently, beauty giant L'Oréal (the company behind brands like L'Oréal Paris, Lancôme, and La Roche-Posay) showcased its upcoming innovations at Vivatechology, Europe's largest tech event. And with new professional-grade skincare devices, free-to-use skincare apps, and sustainable initiatives all on the horizon, the future of beauty is looking bright. "There are many mysteries in beauty that need to be solved - people get frustrated when they don't know if something is right for them, so there is often a lot of guesswork, and I think technology will help us solve that," says Guive Balooch, L'Oréal's global managing director of augmented beauty and open innovation. One of the ways L'Oréal is addressing this is by rolling out AI-powered apps, like Noli and Spotscan+, to help guide consumers to the right products. "For the last thousand years, beauty has been chemistry-based, all about topicals and serums - but we are at an incredible moment where technology is moving beauty from products to services and experiences," says Guive. So, just what is on the agenda for the future of beauty? Here's a sneak peek... Noli app What is it? Got beauty product fatigue? Try Noli - a new app that's designed to make beauty shopping simpler. The free app scans your face, asks you some questions about your everyday routine, skin type, and skin goals, then creates a detailed report of compatible products for you. For each product recommendation, it gives you a compatibility score, meaning you can see exactly how suitable a product is for you (though, FYI - it'll only suggest L'Oréal group products). It also has a hair function, meaning you can shop for your new favourite shampoo, too. When will it drop? It's free and out now - discover it on the Noli website. Osmobloom 8 What is it? Previously, turning plants into perfume has been a time- and energy-consuming process using heat, alcohol, and solvents to extract perfume oils. Osmobloom is a new technology that turns plants and flowers into perfume oil without using any of the above. This technology took over nine years to develop, and uses a pressurised cylinder to extract the scent from plants - it's also compatible with flowers like lily of the valley, which was previously impossible to extract into perfume oil. When will it drop? The tech has already been used for the tuberose notes in Valentino Anatomy of Dreams collection - so we'll definitely see it used in upcoming fragrance launches. Airlight Pro 8 What is it? There's been much chatter about this hairdryer over the past year - but we're finally seeing it launch. Designed in collaboration with Zuvi - the geniuses behind the Zuvi Halo hairdryer - this innovative hairdryer dries hair 21% faster, without heat or damage. Rather than simply blowing heat on your hair, it uses infrared light, which directly tackles water molecules, resulting in faster, damage-free styling. The hairdryer also connects to an app, allowing your stylist to programme the perfect blow-dry for you, addressing your hair needs and concerns. When will it drop? It's already being rolled out in France and USA - so keep your eye peeled for it in salons in the UK. Spotscan+ Coach app What is it? Getting into the habit of a skincare routine can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be - L'Oréal's La Roche-Posay has updated its Spot Scan app, which helps users create and stick to an effective skincare routine. Primarily targeted at those with acne-prone skin, the app provides a 21-day and three-month coaching challenge for learning about your skin through various modules. The app also features advice guides from dermatologists and nutritionists, plus a wellbeing section, in partnership with Calm, for finding moments of mindfulness throughout your day. When will it drop? Spotscan+ Coach is free to download from the App Store and Play Store now. Cell Bioprint What is it? Walk into most skincare stores these days, and you'll find a skin-scanning tool, but this one is designed to analyse your current and future skin health in under 30 seconds. After submitting a skin cell sample, the machine analyses your pores, barrier function and texture, providing you with a detailed report that will help inform your skincare routine. It uses your skin's biomarkers to calculate future skin concerns before they are visible on your skin - like a fortune-teller for your complexion. When will it drop? Expect to see these machines rolled out in stores from early 2026. Lancôme Nano-resurfacer 8 What is it? The Nano-resurfacer bridges the gap between in-salon treatments and at-home skincare. Designed to plump and smooth your complexion, the handheld tool features 400 ultra-precise nano-tips for resurfacing the skin without pain or even a tingle. With similar results to micro-needling, it promises to reduce fine lines by 56% after just one use. When will it drop? The tool will launch in Autumn 2025 in the UK - look out for it in Boots. YSL Hyper Look Studio 8 What is it? Sifting through the massive number of new make-up trends is hard enough, let alone trying to recreate them yourself - but YSL's Hyperlook Studio enables you to do exactly that. First, pick your favourite look from viral social media videos, then pose for the camera as the look is superimposed on your face. While some of the results can look a little funny (I learned that 'Sulfurous Honey' is not the look for me), it's a great way to see how a beauty trend, such as winged eyeliner, will look on you. Finally, the software shows you which YSL products you'll need to create the look - happy shopping! When will it drop? We'll see YSL Hyper Look Studio being rolled out in 13 countries in 2026, and should eventually see it in stores and at pop-ups, too. Top beauty trends for 2025 Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025. Haircare Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment.

This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. Skincare Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion. Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine.

This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. Nails 2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.

Shoppers praise 'top of the range' serum in gift set price drop
The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Skincare 30ml Routine Set contains a serum, eye cream and peptide cream Skincare fans have been rushing to snap up a luxury beauty set that saves shoppers more than £50 on a serum that ''makes a huge difference to the skin'. Lancôme's Advanced Génifique Serum is usually £70 to buy, but as part of a discounted gift set at LookFantastic, customers can pick it up for the equivalent of £17. The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Skincare 30ml Routine Set has a value of £109.50, but has been reduced at the retailer to £51.10. For those intrigued by high-end skincare but hesitant to splash out, the set provides the chance to sample a full Lancôme routine at a fraction of the cost. Inside, customers will discover some of Lancôme's top-selling formulas designed to hydrate, smooth, and brighten the complexion. The kit contains a serum, eye cream and peptide cream, which average out at £17.16 each - quite impressive considering one of the products would cost shoppers four times as much individually. The Advanced Génifique Serum (30ml), typically priced at £70, is a fast-absorbing, silky serum enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and pre- and probiotic-derived extracts. It's renowned for enhancing skin texture and radiance. Currently, the serum is reduced to £52 at LookFantastic, making it still cheaper to purchase the full set. Meanwhile, Boots is offering this Lancôme Génifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set, which also includes the serum at a discounted rate, reports Bristol Live. Advanced Génifique Skincare 30ml Routine Set £109.50 £51.10 LookFantastic Buy here Product Description Valued at £74.75, the Boots selection is now £32.70 and features a 20ml bottle of the serum alongside a mini Lash Idôle Mascara and Lip Idôle Butterglow Lip Balm. Both great items for travelling and trips away. The Génifique Serum has won over legions of skincare devotees, becoming the star product to clinch the sales of the LookFantastic set blessed with unanimous five-star reviews online. One fan said: "Lovely set, especially when on offer. I have used this serum for years now and am obsessed! Soaks in well and leaves my skin feeling soft." Meanwhile, another shopper shared: "I can only review the serum at this stage due to using it prior to this purchase. Because of how much I rate this serum was the main reason for buying this gift set. The serum is top of the range, absorbs so well and a small amount does go a very long way. My skin feels so fresh and soft to the touch after. I have high hopes for the other two products. The other factor in buying this was due to it being on offer. I just wish I had taken advantage and bought more than one box at the time." Not all the products earned universal praise, yet customers still awarded top marks to the edit as the complete package comes cheaper than snagging the serum by itself. One noted: "Like the lightweight consistency of the serum, very hydrating as well. The eye cream is good but not sure with the cream." A fourth happy customer penned: "This set is wonderful. The serum makes your face feel silky soft," and remarked that the entire collection is charming. "Would be great as a makeup base. The whole set is lovely. I got it on offer, so it's quite pricey, so I'm not sure I'll buy at full price, but will definitely keep an eye on offers." The serum, praised on LookFantastic for ' making a huge difference to the skin ', has customers raving about repurchasing 'so many bottles'. Yet, a Boots customer commented: "Not bad but don't think it's for me. I noticed that it does block pores which is less than ideal for me. I tried the previous serum, it was more suitable." Besides the famed serum, beauty buffs can indulge in the Génifique Eye Cream, celebrated for its fatigue-erasing and brightness-boosting abilities, or treat their complexion to the Rénergie HPN 300-Peptide Cream - crafted to defy gravity with over 300 peptides, hydration wizard hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. In other skincare deals, Liz Earle's Radiant Glow Routine set has been slashed by 35%. Normally priced at £80, this three-piece skincare set is now £52. That's a £28 saving on a set with skincare essentials that help clarify and cleanse the skin. Alternatively, Boots £10 Tuesday is a one-day flash sale which sees dozens of individual products slashed to £10.

Save 25% on Lancôme's new coffee-inspired Juicy Tubes
One of the Noughties' most iconic make-up products, Lancôme Juicy Tubes, are back with three lip-smacking new shades – and you can currently find them on offer, too Along with flip phones, low-rise jeans and Myspace, some items were iconic in 2000s pop culture – and that includes Lancôme's Juicy Tubes, clear tubes of lightly tinted, fruity-flavoured lip gloss that were the ultimate in any make-up bag. Now, with the current obsession with everything Y2K, they're firmly back in fashion again, and available in three tasty new flavours. Lancôme has recently launched three new coffee-inspired shades: Almond Drip, a mid brown with gold shimmer and a scent of roasted almonds, Cocoa Macchiato, a rich brown with a hint of pink and a cocoa flavour, and Lavender Latte, a pretty lilac that's also Olivia Rodrigo's go-to shade. Usually priced at £26 each, you can currently find these new variations with 25% off at Debenhams, down to £19.50. Promising up to four hours of moisture, visibly plumper lips and an easy-to-use applicator, the resurge in the popularity of Lancôme Juicy Tubes might have something to do with how lip balms are fashion accessories in their own right nowadays; Rhode Peptide Lip Tints, £18, and Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms, £23, are both hugely popular, and Dior's new Lip Glow Butters, £33, with their cute charms, look set to have same mass appeal. If you need any more convincing to add a Juicy Tube back into your make-up routine, iconic actors from the 00s have also been sharing how they loved – and still love – the product. In sponsored posts on their Instagram accounts, Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson, who played Marisa Cooper and Summer Roberts respectively in the hit teen drama The OC, share their go-to flavours, and their favourite Juicy Tube moment. "There's something about the scent that makes me really nostalgic and takes me back to the early 2000s," Mischa says in her post, remembering who she wore the product when, in season one of The OC, Marisa and Ryan finally kiss on the fairground ferris wheel. "My two favourites were always Spring Fling and Marshmallow Electro," she adds. Rachel Bilson, meanwhile, says on her account how she favours the rose shade Tickled Pink, sharing how it instantly reminds her of when she won the Teen Choice Award for Best Chemistry in 2005. Although all three of the new latte shades are still available – and reduced – on Debenhams, most of the other core shades are currently out of stock – however, you can find them all available on the Lancôme website, and you might also be able to find your chosen colour on Sephora or Boots. If your budget doesn't quite stretch to this, you'll find lots of other affordable lip balms in the shops, including Boots Glossy Lip Balms, a bargain at just £3 each.
