Beauty Editor’s Best Buys: The New Launches Worth The Splurge
3rd February 2025 | By Tamara Corin
February might be chilly, but the beauty world is heating up with fresh launches that are so worth your attention (and your cash!) From glow-boosting skincare to game-changing makeup and haircare, I’ve sifted through the noise to bring you the products that truly deliver. Ready to give your routine a well-deserved refresh? Here’s my current faves…
1.
Glow Recipe has done it again, folks. This whipped, buttery moisturiser is powered by cloudberry (the it berry for radiance), peptides, and CoQ10. Trust me, your skin will drink this up and thank you later.
2.
I mean, who doesn’t want to smell like a rose garden? This sultry fragrance takes Taif rose and blends it with coffee and amber for a vibe that is both romantic and mysterious in equal measures. Strangers have stopped me in my tracks.
3.
Lisa Eldridge is basically a beauty magician, and her latest launch is proof. This precision concealer pencil lets you cover up tiny blemishes and dark spots without the cakey look.
4.
From the founder of Monday Haircare, this mood-matching shower foam is rich and fluffy but not overpoweringly scented. Plus, I’m obsessed with the funky packaging- it’s totally made for Instagram. Influencers are going to have a field day with this new affordable brand.
5.
This luxe little jar of magic feels like silk and makes my skin look like I just walked off a photoshoot. It’s glow, hydration, and a confidence boost all in one swoop.
6.
Smells like a honey dream and leaves my hair so soft, I can’t stop touching it (and smelling it!) Consider this self-care for your strands, served extra bougie.
7.
A talc-free powder so weightless, it’s like setting your makeup with air. It blurs, mattifies, and somehow sweeps away my T-zone shine but still lets my skin peek through—absolute sorcery!
8.
Like a magic wand for my cheekbones- and seriously foolproof. I could never contour before this gamechanger came into my life.
9.
It’s no surprise that the man with the best locks in the business has created the glossiest, healthiest-looking hair treatment ever. It repairs, protects, and makes my hair look glass-like.
