It’s time to give my beauty line-up a seasonal refresh. With new arrivals that are brimming with glow-boosting ingredients, chic scents, and perfect pampering essentials, I’m ready to embrace all things radiant. From game-changing serums to makeup marvels, here are the latest beauty must-haves I never knew I needed, but now can’t imagine living without.
I’ve officially found my new shower obsession. These body washes feel every bit as luxe as they look, with scents that transport me straight to a five-star spa and formulas packed with skin-loving vitamins. Once you try these, there’s no going back to basic body wash—prepare for some serious glow-up moments in the shower.
Let me introduce you to the ultimate cool-girl scents. Who is Elijah’s gender-neutral perfumes are effortlessly chic, with layers of notes that reveal themselves beautifully as the day goes on. Just a spritz or two, and I’m feeling mysterious, alluring, and smelling fabulous for hours. Plus, each fragrance is available in both 30ml and 50ml bottles.
This has totally upped my haircare game. I use it before shampooing, and it works like a charm to lift away build-up and excess oil without drying out my strands. The best part? My hair feels cleaner, fresher, and somehow stays that way longer—perfect for my low-maintenance, high-impact routine.
Caroline Hirons has outdone herself with this new cleansing balm—it’s everything I want in a cleanser. This rich, buttery balm melts away makeup and grime in seconds, leaving my skin feeling soft, clean, and oh-so-hydrated. It’s the ultimate treat at the end of a long day, and I honestly look forward to using it every night.
Anyone with scalp woes, listen up—this shampoo is here to rescue us. It’s like a mini spa day for my scalp, calming, refreshing, and leaving my hair silky smooth and full of shine. A balanced scalp means my other haircare works even better, and styling is an absolute dream.
This serum, also known as “the serum that mirrors the effects of Botox,” is basically pure radiance bottled. Packed with botanical goodness, it gives me that dewy, French-girl glow I can’t get enough of. Warning: expect a flood of “What’s your secret?” questions after using this one.
Already a huge fan of this British-born brand. Rub a scoop over your skin, and it melts into rich, buttery hydration that smells heavenly and feels even better. They’re like a cosy hug for my skin—my fave is Brick Lane, that has an aromatic spicy scent.
This isn’t just any lipstick; it’s a beauty statement. Lisa Eldridge has created creamy, pigment-packed formulas that ooze sophistication and chic vibes. Plus, the gorgeous, eco-friendly refillable case means it’s a guilt-free indulgence—I’m calling these my little black dress in lipstick form.
Perfect for everyone from little ones to adults, this bath milk is my go-to for soothing sensitive skin. It turns the bath water into a milky, comforting hug, calming winter dryness and adding a dose of TLC. An absolute must for managing that seasonal itchiness we all dread.
While this isn’t exactly a new release, what is new is the price. Hot Tools is launching its Black Friday sale early, with great savings across the site until 3rd December – this curling tool is our top pick.
This mask is trending for all the right reasons. I slather it on my face before bed, and by morning, I wake up with plump, bouncy, insanely hydrated skin that practically glows. Trust me, it’s one of those overnight miracles you’ll wonder how you ever lived without.
An affordable alternative to VB’s sparkling Kajal liners, this eyeliner is everything I need for a soft, shimmering eye look. It glides on effortlessly and gives my eyes a pearly pop that’s subtle yet stunning. Whether it’s for day or night, it’s glam made easy—no pro skills required!
Pixi’s Hand Hero is my new handbag staple. This creamy, ultra-hydrating hand cream is packed with aloe, ginseng, and fruit extracts, leaving my hands feeling soft, smooth, and perfectly pampered. And with its cute pebble-style packaging, it’s the perfect size for a quick grab-and-go moment.
This blush stick is pure magic, adding a gorgeous shimmer to my cheeks and lips with a single swipe. The creamy formula glides on effortlessly and gives me that fresh, dewy glow in an instant. My favourite out of the four shades is Gold, as it doubles up as a highlighter too. You seriously need little else for a night out.
