Summer is a great time to switch up your beauty and skincare routine since we wear lighter colour palettes and the sun requires that we use different skincare products. I wanted to put some new beauty products on your radar. For the last 15 years, I have gravitated towards lighter, natural and/or organic beauty and skincare products since I believe they are better for our skin and bodies. Here are some of my favourite new beauty products for summer 2026 from WONDERBLUSH, Cheekbone Beauty, La Rosée, La Roche-Posay, Essie and René Furterer:
Wonderblush La Lumière Liquid Eyeshadow
Liquid eyeshadows are so convenient when you don’t have time in the morning and Wonderblush’s new La Lumière Liquid Eyeshadow offers a light textured, easy-to-apply formula. The long-wearing liquid eyeshadow sits nicely on the lids without smudging or creasing. La Lumière in Coquillage is a pretty champagne colour while Perle is a cream colour); Rose Doré (a rose colour); Rayon (a gold colour); and Bronze. Purchase for $32 at Wonderblush, The Detox Market; and Simons.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Fluid SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen
Beach days require an effective SPF such as La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Fluid SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen. This is a high broad spectrum SPF that offers protection against UVA and UVB rays. I love this sunscreen since the formula is very light and oil-free so my face doesn’t feel sticky. The invisible matte finish with NETLOCK technology provides an ungreasy look as you bask in the sun. This SPF should be applied after 80 minutes to provide sun protection. Purchase for $35.95 (50 ml) at Shoppers Drug Mart, well.ca and Walmart Canada.
Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers
This sheer pink shade is modern yet timeless and the perfect “colour” when you want your nails to look finished, yet not the center of attention. Essie is my go-to nail polish brand because their polish simply does not chip as quickly as other brands. The polish application is also very smooth and two coats will usually avoid streaks. When your polish eventually does chip, the Ballet Slippers shade is not as noticeable as darker colours. Purchase for $15.29 at Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Jean Coutu, London Drugs, Rexall and Amazon.ca
Melissa X Cheekbone Limited Edition Sustain Lipstick
Content creator and makeup artist Melissa Virdo has collaborated with Cheekbone Beauty to create MELISSA X Cheekbone Limited Edition Sustain Lipstick. This soft pink shade was created to suit every complexion. Virdo intended to create a lipstick that brought joy to the wearer! It’s the perfect shade to wear every day since it’s pretty without being loud. It fits perfectly with nude and natural makeup palettes. Purchase MELISSA X Cheekbone Limited Edition Sustain Lipstick for $34 CAD at Cheekbone Beauty. A portion of the proceeds of MELISSA are donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
René Furterer Triphasic Active Length, Length Shampoo, Length Serum, and Strengthening Anti-Breakage Mask
If your hair is thin, lacking body, or slow to grow, you’ll want to try René Furterer Triphasic Active Length, Length Shampoo, Length Serum, and Strengthening Anti-Breakage Mask, which have been shown to increase length. The products contain propolis and keratin, which not only strengthens hair and prevents breakage, but helps hair grow quicker if used consistently. My hair is shinier and has more body after using the Length Shampoo and Length Serum and both products smell wonderful. About once a week, I give my hair a super conditioning with the Strengthening Anti-Breakage Mask and my hair has never looked thicker or healthier!
Purchase Triphasic Active Length, Length Shampoo, 200 ml, $44 CAD; Triphasic Active Length, Length Serum, 100 ml, $95 CAD; Triphasic Active Length, Strengthening Anti-Breakage Mask, 200 ml, $60 CAD online at René Furterer or at Shoppers Drug Mart.
BKIND Superfruit Face Moisturizer with Bakuchiol
BKIND Superfruit Face Moisturizer with Bakuchiol is already one of my favourite beauty products for summer 2026. That’s because when you open the jar, the aroma from the moisturizer awakens your senses. This moisturizer is abundant in hydrating fruits such as cucumber, peach and melon extracts; grapefruit and apple fruit water; mango butter; apricot oil; kiwi fruit extract; and pomegranate seed oil for a super infusion of antioxidants and vitamins. BKIND features plant-based, vegan products developed and manufactured in Quebec; the brand is committed to sustainability with eco-conscious packaging. I like that Bakuchiol is a natural alternative to retinol for reducing the appearing of fine lines.
Purchase BKIND Superfruit Face Moisturizer with Bakuchiol for $76 online at BKIND or at well.ca
La Rosée Refillable Fresh Deodorant with probiotics
La Rosée has developed Fresh Deodorant with Probiotics that comes with its own refill. This is the first time I’ve seen probiotics used in a deodorant and it makes sense because probiotics absorb perspiration and neutralize odors. This deodorant smells fresh and lasts all day.
Purchase La Rosée Fresh Deodorant with Probiotics and refill for $39 online at La Rosée or at Shoppers Drug Mart.
