Hello, summer! In June, NewBeauty readers shopped only the best of the best—think clear, glowing skin-care picks from head to toe to glowy, travel-friendly makeup that flatters (and enhances) sun-kissed skin. Whether embracing a supercharged, youth-enhancing skin-care serum, trying a whole new makeup category for the first time or embracing a sweet new nail trend, our readers' savviness continues to impress. Below, 10 products NewBeauty readers couldn't stop buying in June.
DefenAge 8-IN-1 BioSerum ($198)
According to a recent survey* of more than 1,300 NewBeauty readers, there’s one serum that stands out from the rest for smoothing lines, firming texture and reviving dull skin, and it combines eight steps into a single one: DefenAge 8-in-1 BioSerum. Inside are antioxidants, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, collagen, calming anti-inflammatories, peptides, a retinol alternative and a DNA-repairing enzyme. *Source: BeautyEngine Advanced Research, 2025
Sisley Paris Phyto-Rouge Shine 13 Sheer Beverly Hills ($67)
Celebrity makeup artist Patrick Foley partnered with Sisley Paris back in 2023 to create the “perfect beige lipstick” in honor of his friend and OG Charlie's Angel, Jaclyn Smith. It's so flattering, our readers are still scooping it up. In even better news: Sisley Paris and Foley decided to collaborate once again this summer, this time with a new mauve shade called Phyto-Rouge Shine Sheer Bel Air ($67).
CHANEL Sublimage L'Essence de Teint Ultimate Radiance-Generating Serum Foundation ($175)
Our editor asked the experts to name their favorite serum foundations, a class of face makeup known for its formulas with skin-like, glowy finishes. Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Litner loves how the “color and treatment” of CHANEL’s Sublimage L’Essence de Teint, as well as the pore-blurring technology, “changes the look of the skin, making it more youthful looking.”
La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum ($45)
Acne marks, sun exposure, age spots—there isn't a type of hyperpigmentation that La Roche-Posay's Mela B3 Serum can't fade. Made with niacinamide and Melasyl, this under-$50 serum restores and evens skin tone and enhances overall radiance too.
HigherDose Body Sculptor Ritual Set ($399)
"We’ve seen our share of body tools over the years, but nothing quite like this," our editor raved when HigherDose's new Body Sculptor launched in June. "A first-of-its-kind device combining LED light (red and near-infrared) and microcurrent energy, it sculpts and tones by activating muscles, stimulating collagen production and enhancing circulation and lymphatic drainage."
iota Supervitamin Body Wash Brightening ($23)
Named one of the best body washes for mature skin, iota's Supervitamin Body Wash "brightens skin, boosts elasticity, calms flare-ups and aids in cell regeneration," explains our editor. "Plus, the unique scent of Italian mandarin and Moroccan cedar is intoxicating."
Augustinus Bader The Rich Eye Cream ($205)
This year's NewBeauty Awards-winner for Best Luxury Eye Cream went to Augustinus Bader's The Rich Eye Cream. "Rich and elegant, you can clearly see a difference when you apply this luxe eye cream," raves editorial director, Liz Ritter.
Ourself Replenishing Lip Filler ($145)
Looking to revive aging or thinning, lips? Our editor says this innovative pen from Ourself "isn’t a gloss or a gimmick." She adds, "Paired with my light filler, this pen didn’t replace my injectables, it enhanced them. My lips looked more defined, lines appeared softer and the color looked healthier thanks to the natural flush the formula delivers." Clinical trials show that 99 percent of users saw an increase in lip volume and an overall aesthetic improvement.

OPI RapiDry Nail Polish in All Touchy Feely ($10)
Selena Gomez kicked off a peach nails frenzy back at the Oscars in March, and the "new neutral" manicure is still going strong into the summer. Our readers' favorite peach polish by far is All Touchy Feely by OPI, a pearlescent peach with a subtle shimmer.
