Beauty Drop Radar- June Edition

Think of this as your monthly filter through the beauty noise, featuring the products I've either snagged for myself or will eventually be mine. As a beauty lover on a budget, here's what caught my eye and made it onto my radar!

Huda Beauty Lip Contour Stain
Launch Date: June 23, 2025
Price: $25 USD
Where to Buy: www.hudabeauty.com and www.sephora.com
Why it is trending: Huda promises a long-lasting lip stain/ lip liner hybrid with a unique applicator first of its kind. The felt tip liner allows you to line with precision to contour the lip, cuff it or use it as a full lip. Highly pigmented, doesn't bleed, kiss proof and transfer proof for 12 hours. Available in 8 shades.
My take: I was excited for this product because I still use lip liner with almost every lip look and maybe that is the millennial in me. The fact that I can have a 12-hour lip liner is appealing, especially if I only need to reapply gloss here and there. Now, these did launch with a lip oil that comes in 3 shades; however, I am not 100% sold on the lip oil, or any lip oil for that matter.
Juvia's Place Coffee Shop Liquid Eyeshadow
Launch Date: Mid-June- soft launch
Price: $15 USD
Where to buy: www.ulta.com
Why It is trending: Liquid eyeshadows that are crease- proof and ultra rich in pigment. The formula is self-setting available in 13 shades. The Liquid shadows transform into a powder upon application, and they don’t fade, crease or transfer. This formula creates a flexible film that moves with your skin, locking the color into place. The launch has four metallic shades and nine mattes and are developed to compliment every skin tone.
My take: Absolutely! Sign me up and do it quickly! Juvia just doesn't miss in my book, and even if I can only utilize a few shades in this collection, I am still buying said shades! Juvia holds a special place in my heart and so far, I have yet to regret a purchase!
Fenty Beauty Smurfette Effect Gloss Bomb
Launch Date: June 26, 2025
Price: $22 USD
Where to Buy: www.fentybeauty.com and www.ulta.com
Why it is trending: The gloss bomb delivers intense shine in the non-sticky formula equipped with a peach vanilla scent and a keychain holder in a shimmering lavender shade.
My take: I would love to say, "if you have one gloss bomb, you have them all", but we all know, we have to at least consider it! Purple is my favorite color, and although these glosses only give a hint of sparkle, it is enough to elevate any lip combo! However, since the effects are mainly in the sparkle, this is not a “spend your last $22 on this” type of item but, if you are a collector, then go for it.
Phlur Vanilla Nectar Body Body Mist
Launch Date: June 17, 2025Price: 3oz; $25USD; 8oz; $38USD
Where to buy: www.sephora.com and www.phlur.comWhy it is trending: Phlur combines the nectar scents of apricot, tangelo and papaya with vanilla goodness and came up with the poolside scent of summer. Light enough to be layered, but strong enough to be worn alone, this scent is categorized in the fruity floral family.
*Top notes*- Papaya Nectar, Apricot, Sugared Tangelo
*Heart*- Peach Blossom, Coconut Orchid, Jasmine Dew
*Base*- Whipped Vanilla, Cedar, Honey Amber
My take: Phlur has another hit on their hands! I love their body mist line because it is such a good way to explore mixing and layering scents without breaking the bank. My first intro to Phlur was the iconic Vanilla Skin and Heavy Cream Duo, and I have just added this scent to my list to purchase!
Danessa Myricks Colorfix Stix
Launch Date: June 30, 2025
Price: $38USD
Where to buy: www.sephora.com and www.danessamyricksbeauty.com
Why it is trending: The iconic colorfix family has been transformed into dual ended sticks that are not only magnetic, but in true Danessa fashion, able to be taken apart, mixed and matched for endless creativity on the go. Coming in 10 different stick combinations, no brushes are needed for you to start your creative journey. They can be worn on lips, eyes and cheeks for the ultimate mulit-use stick.
My take: I am so intrigued by this concept because everyone loves colorfix but put them in a more travel friendly set up and I am game. The price is a little steep for my budget, but I will definitely get at least 2 very soon to play with based on the fact that it is Danessa. Her products are ALWAYS top tier quality which justifies the price.
Snif Crumb Couture
Launch Date: June 29, 2025
Price: $65USD
Where to buy: www.ulta.com and www.snif.co
Why it is trending: Snif has been the leading fragrance brand when it comes to gourmand, and they just launched their new croissant inspired scent. The launch alone had the internet buzzing with cryptic messages from the Croissant Vigilante, and they held the scent note hostage until the very end! When they were released, the fans went crazy! Would these scent notes actually work in perfect gourmand harmony? Take a look and decide for yourself:
Scent notes: toasted vanilla, sandalwood, croissant accord, wildberry jam
My take: YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! When I tell you I literally left my writing desk, while writing about one of their previous scents, to drive 5 miles to my nearest Ulta JUST TO SMELL IT! WORTH IT! You can check out my first sniff review here, but I absolutely will be adding this to my vanity, without question! Snif shot a love arrow straight to my gourmand heart!
