August is here – the month where our calendars are full, the heat is high, and our shopping baskets are bursting with things that make life a little brighter, cooler, and more fun.

Crafted in Belgium since 1829, each Delvaux creation marries time-honoured savoir-faire with contemporary elegance, a tribute to women who lead with grace and strength.

• Rodial Lip Oil

Rodial's new hybrid lip oil elevates your lip care routine by delivering dewy moisture and UV protection with each application. This formula forms a protective barrier upon contact, shielding lips from the sun's harmful rays while also repairing and soothing them. We never tried a Rodial product we didn't love!
