We try before you buy: 5 beauty innovations that really impressed us in June

Product: Hydration Lipstick by Horst Kirchberger Price: approx. 38 euros Promise: Soft, full and moisturized lips. Effect: I love lipstick – but I don't want to "feel" it. Thanks to its very thin texture, Horst Kirchberger's Hydration Lipstick is incredibly comfortable to wear. I don't have to compromise on color intensity, though, and I can control the intensity myself by layering. My lips are moisturized and radiant. Insider tip for the holiday season: I love getting dressed up in the evenings on vacation. But sometimes I don't really feel like wearing a lot of makeup. A pretty red lip, for example, makes a great statement and speaks for itself. And of course, moisturizing never hurts in hot temperatures!

Product: Floral Cream Blush by Lavera Price: approx. 10 euros Promise: The cream blush promises a natural glow – without looking mask-like or overloaded. Effect: I love products that are easy to use – and so is the Cream Blush by Lavera. I usually apply it directly with a brush, but sometimes just with my fingers – especially when I'm in a hurry. The result: a fresh, healthy glow and the perfect no-makeup look. Insider tip for the holiday season: Especially on hot summer days, I like to skip powder products. Instead, I reach for creamy or even liquid textures. The Cream Blush by Lavera is the ideal addition to my light summer beauty routine.

Product: Parsa Beauty Hair Turban Price: approx. 9 euros. Promise: The microfiber hair turban in the Disney Minnie Mouse design promises shorter and more comfortable drying times for your hair after washing. Effect: Blow-drying your hair for a long time after washing is often not only time-consuming, but can also damage it. With the microfiber turban from Parsa, I can easily and comfortably wrap my long mane after washing and then secure it on my head with a button. Insider tip for the holiday season: After a day at the beach, I often don't feel like blow-drying and styling my very long hair. With the microfiber turban, my hair can dry gently and calmly, leaving my hands free for my skincare routine.

Product: Schauma Moisture & Shine Spray Conditioner. Price: €3 for 200ml. Promise: Gently detangles hair after washing and provides light moisture. Effect: This spray conditioner couldn't feel more weightless – yet it still packs a punch. Hair is soft and silky afterward, and it's wonderfully easy to style. Insider tip for the holiday season: Pool, sea, or sweat: Our hair is particularly challenged in the summer. A light hair conditioner that doesn't weigh it down and can be reapplied without getting oily fingers is a game changer.
