Prada Beauty launches Touch blush and Pandora debuts pearl jewellery collab
Prada’s new Touch blush lands at $42, while Pandora’s pearl-heavy Wonders debut keeps most pieces under €100 and feels like the sharper fashion-week gift.
Prada Beauty and Pandora delivered the two July launches that actually feel worth gifting right now: Prada Touch, the house’s first blush, landed at $42 with Bella Hadid as Prada Beauty’s first Global Beauty Ambassador, and Pandora Wonders opened with a pearl-heavy Act I that keeps most pieces under €100.
Prada Touch is the cleaner, safer beauty gift, especially for the friend who likes her makeup polished rather than fussy. The cream-to-powder blush comes in eight shades, melts like a cream, wears like a powder for up to 12 hours, and skips the setting step entirely. The stackable compact is built around Prada’s triangle logo, which makes it feel giftable before she even opens it. At $42, it lands in that sweet spot where the present feels luxury, but not so precious that she will keep it sealed in a drawer.
Bella Hadid’s role matters because Prada Beauty positioned her as its first Global Beauty Ambassador, and Prada Touch as the line’s first blush, which gives the launch more fashion weight than a routine color extension. Prada’s broader beauty push leans on free expression and experimental elegance, so this is the right present for someone who wants a product that signals taste as much as payoff.
Pandora Wonders is the sharper jewelry gift for the person who wants pearls with a little fashion-week attitude. Pandora, the world’s largest jewellery brand, said the multi-year platform will bring in a different creative talent each year, and Act I was co-created with Harry Lambert, the stylist behind Harry Styles, Emma Corrin and Alexander Skarsgård. The debut collection spans 11 limited-edition charms and related pieces in freshwater baroque pearls, micro-piercing, hand-setting and 14K gold plating; the mouse, mushroom, squid and similar charms sit at €89, while the oversized frog pendant reaches €199. It debuted during Paris Haute Couture Week on 7 July, then went into limited availability at selected stores and online, with early access at Dover Street Market London and a Café Nuances pop-up in Paris from 8 to 11 July. That is the present to give the friend who likes her jewelry to look discovered, not mass-market.
