Spring is in full swing — and so is the beauty industry. Our latest issue captures the energy, innovation, and evolution defining the season, from major launches to global connections and industry insights shaping what’s next.
We open with Chemcorp International’s exclusive launch of UKLASH — the UK’s cult lash and brow serum brand now landing in Priceline stores nationwide. We also mark Michael Klim’s highly anticipated return to skincare, a story that blends legacy with modern wellness. Step inside Mecca’s spectacular new Bourke Street flagship, explore Sephora’s 2025 lineup of global beauty debuts, and find out why Adore Beauty is boldly venturing into bricks-and-mortar retail.
Next, we take you to Shanghai for CIBE, one of the world’s largest beauty trade fairs, where global innovation meets face-to-face connection. In a candid interview, CIBE CEO Lin Lin shares how she’s transforming the platform into a next-generation hub for relationship-driven business.
Our features also shine a spotlight on Accord’s ongoing push for sunscreen reform, ensuring safety and transparency in Australia’s SPF sector. Meanwhile, Taboola unpacks the latest e-commerce trends influencing online discovery, and Kmart Beauty Buyers reveal their top-performing products and what’s driving their category growth.
In Opinion, our contributors explore the deeper forces shaping the beauty conversation — from Nick Law’s take on AI’s creative disruption to Mintel’s new fragrance forecast and Josie Gagliano’s perspective on menopause and midlife beauty. We also reflect on the rise of “Recession Glam” and why fragrance continues to thrive in challenging times, while Jane Fonda brings inspiration and mindfulness to the mix with her appearance at Wanderlust.
Finally, our Out & About pages capture the season’s most glamorous events — from YSL’s Loveshine Pop-Up and Lancôme’s Rénergie soirée at the MCA, to La Prairie’s golden celebration at House of K’Dor and Trudon’s Nuit Rouge launch at Restaurant Hubert.
This issue is a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and radiance — proof that even in uncertain times, beauty continues to evolve, connect, and inspire.
