W&H shopping edit: What to buy in July

1. Boucleme Super Volumising Foam

RRP: £20

Curly and wavy hair types, rejoice: this foam can be used on wet or dry hair, and adds serious volume as well as a strong enough hold to keep curls in place for days. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and chia seed extract keep dry and/or frizzy hair hydrated, and it smells amazing, too.

2. E.L.F Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator

RRP: £5

With a new and improved formula that ensures hydration and gentle exfoliating, dead skin will be banished from the lips, providing a perfect base for lip balm and one of the best long-lasting lipsticks. Vitamin E, shea butter and avocado oil work hard here to condition and smooth lips.

3. Le Smash Santal Eau de Parfum

RRP: £120

Sponsored

This limited-edition long-lasting perfume features notes of sandalwood, lavender, cardamon and tea leaves, for a subtle yet distinctive scent. The perfect fragrance for taking on holiday or if you're looking for your new scent for summer, this EDP is only £33 if you become a Beauty Pie member.

4. Hello Sunday The One That's a Serum SPF50

RRP: £22

If you're looking for a sunscreen for sensitive skin, look no further. We tried this rich SPF50 serum on our prone-to-redness, dry skin and were shocked at the glowy, hydrated result, with no redness at all. The unscented serum doesn't leave a white cast, feels soft and silky and protects the skin from UV rays as well as pollution. Tick, tick, tick!

5. Babe Original Plumping Lip Jelly

RRP: £14

Available in clear or a striking mauve shade, this plumping lip jelly really does what it says on the tin. A little goes a long way, and just one swipe across the lips enhances your natural pout, while hydrating with vitamin E and adding an immediate glossy shine.

6. Moroccanoil Repair Travel Set

RRP: £28.90

If you've ever used Moroccanoil products before, you'll know the scent is nothing short of addictive. Luckily you won't have to go without it on your holiday; this set includes mini bottles of the Moisture Repair shampoo and conditioner, Moroccanoil Treatment to smooth frizz, and a rich hand cream, which are all perfect for popping into your hand luggage or one of the best weekend bags for women.

7. Skinny Tan Self Tanning Whip

RRP: £21.99 

Wondering how to fake tan like a pro or already got your method down? Skinny Tan Whip is perfect for beginners and experts alike, as it quickly melts into skin before developing over up to eight hours for a natural-looking glow. Superfood ingredients like blueberry and kale enhance the formula's moisturising properties.

8. Beauty Pie The Sunny Day Kit

RRP: £182

Sponsored

We're obsessed with the sunshine yellow of this bag of goodies from Beauty Pie, which holds the bestselling Awesome Bronze self-tanning drops, Feather Light SPF50, Like Sun Vitamin D3 supplements, and a buildable nude lip balm-crayon. Combine the three beauty products for a healthy glow and a dewy, natural look.

9. Tangle Teezer x Barbie Ultimate Detangler

RRP: £14

Barbiecore is showing no signs of slowing down, and this limited-edition Tangle Teezer proves hot pink isn't just for fashion. Available in a mini or full-size version, the brush is ideal for detangling wet or dry hair.

10. Athletia Skin Protection UV Cream SPF30

RRP: £35

We recently used this ultra-hydrating SPF everyday on holiday, so we can attest to its protective and glow-enhancing abilities. With uji tea extract and liquorice root, skin looks brighter and fresher, while crucially being protected from UV rays. If you're planning on stocking up on sun protection, make sure you check out the best sunscreen deals, too.

11. Q&A AHA Exfoliator Body Scrub

RRP: £8

We love Q&A for its affordable, cruelty-free and innovative products, and the brand's recent foray into bodycare is yet to disappoint. All products are dermatologically tested, and the majority are suited to all skin types, but those who suffer with dry and/or sensitive skin should particularly take note. This gently exfoliating body scrub also has a gorgeous, unique scent.

12. Revolution Pro Miracle Cream

RRP: £7.50

Supposedly a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, this affordable option's main mission is hydration. Ideal for dry skin that's in desperate need of moisture, it features ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C and shea butter.

1. Uniqlo Denim Midi Skirt

RRP: £34.90

If you're stuck for denim skirt outfit ideas, this midi is the kind of skirt that will go with almost anything this summer (and into autumn, too). Made from 98% cotton, this comfortable skirt won't feel too restrictive, either.

2. Black Shirred Floral Print Bardot Dress

RRP: £36

Sponsored

One of the best summer dresses due to its breathable material and the relaxed fit of its maxi skirt, this dress definitely makes a case for the Bardot shoulder. Wear with sandals for holiday cocktails on the beach or with the best white trainers for summer picnics.

3. Daisy Shrimps Pearl Bracelet

RRP: £115

Available in its original, 100% recycled silver or with an 18-karat gold plating, there are five real pearls adorning this simple chainlink-style bracelet. We think this would make the perfect present if you're looking for 21st birthday gift ideas, or just as a treat to yourself.

4. Janece Black Wide Leg Jumpsuit

RRP: £129

Sponsored

This elegant jumpsuit from Phase Eight would be a wise investment if you're stuck for what to wear to a funeral. It's also made from recycled polyester that would have otherwise gone to landfill, if you're wondering how to shop sustainably. 

5. Shell Signet Ring

RRP: £75

Signet rings may provoke the image of an overly thick, large and obtrusive ring, but this Astrid & Miyu option offers a unique alternative. The statement jewellery piece also gives off a beachy feel, and is available with an 18-karat gold plating or in rhodium-plated sterling silver.

6. Ponte Utility Wide Leg Trousers

RRP: £35

Sponsored

As much as we want the sun to consistently shine enough for us to wear summer dresses to the office everyday, this isn't always the case. These utility trousers are a handy alternative for those days where you don't want to wear heavyweight trousers; dress them up for an evening meal or tuck a white t-shirt into them for a classic capsule wardrobe 'fit.

7. Sundrenched Printed Maxi Dress

RRP: £158

Wondering can you wear red to a wedding? Our style experts think so, and there's no reason to shy away from the bold shade when dressing for a summer event. This maxi dress has a smocked bodice with a tie design and a floaty, tiered skirt that we can see paired with some chunky wedges or simple sandals.

8. Mollie Pleat Maxi Dress

RRP: £139

Sponsored

Another bright maxi dress, but with a fully pleated skirt that'll surely turn heads. Made from almost 50% recycled polyester, this elegant but fun dress is a sustainable choice, too.

9. Rapha + Shrimps Wind Jacket 

RRP: £190

The new Rapha and Shrimps collection marks a perfect combination of British fashion and sportswear practicality. The wind jacket is our favourite, with its cinchable arms and waist, designed to be worn both on the bike and off. Made from super lightweight and breathable material, it's perfect for the unreliable weather right now. 

10. Sweetheart Neckline Tie Detail Midi Tea Dress

RRP: £45

Sponsored

With breathable, floaty sleeves, this midaxi dress is easy to throw on during warm weather or pack in your case for evening holiday plans. The tie detail around the waist means you can create more of an hourglass effect, or leave it loose for a relaxed fit.

1. Lola Pamper Pink Massage Gun

RRP: £59 (on sale) 

If you exercise a lot, you'll be familiar with massage guns (and their heavy price tag). Lola's budget-friendly version has four different modes, from light to fast, and a handful of colours to choose from - everything from baby blue to hot red. Designed to soothe aches and pains, this phone-sized accessory is the pre- or post-workout buddy we all need.

2. Olly's Pretzel Thins 

RRP: £12.50 (10 x 38g packets)

There are sweet versions too, so something for whatever mood you're in, and also available to buy on Amazon. 

3. NEST New York Santorini Olive & Citron Classic Candle

RRP: £45

Olive might seem like a peculiar fragrance for a homeware candle, but this new release from NEST New York has a pleasing, summery scent. With notes of olive leaf, avocado, black pepper and lemon zest, this is one of the best scented candles to burn when hosting summer dinner parties.

4. Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

RRP: £8.49

Recently released on paperback, Zevin's incomparable novel tells the story of two best friends who become video game designers, following their unique friendship over many years. One of the best book club books that'll cause some tears as well as filling you with hope, the deservedly praised novel is unlike anything we've read before.

5. Grind x Henry Holland Gift Set

RRP: £70

London-based coffee experts Grind have teamed up with artist and designer Henry Holland to create a limited-edition mug, as well as a matching tin for your beans or ground coffee. Shop the collab before it sells out, or keep it as a gift for a coffee lover whose birthday is coming up.
