I’ll admit it—this time, I couldn’t quite settle on a theme. Maybe it’s the holiday haze, or maybe it’s just that my beauty cabinet has been bursting with products that deserve their moment. Not all of these are fresh launches, but each one caught my eye (and a permanent spot in my routine) for a reason. Think of this as less about trends and more about the little joys that have made their way into my beauty-obsessed heart lately. Let’s get to it, shall we?
Hermès Barénia (November 2024 Release)
Is it just me, or is this fragrance actually a lifestyle? Barénia isn’t just about the notes; it’s about the feeling it evokes—like stepping into a world of understated elegance and mystery. With hints of leather and citrus, it’s like you’re wearing luxury itself. Trust me, this scent is everything if you want to feel like you’ve just strolled off a runway in Paris. It’s chic, it’s timeless, and it sticks—just like the perfect accessory.
Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Lipstick
This lipstick had me at hello. YSL’s Loveshine isn’t just glossy—it’s a statement. The kind of shine that makes your lips look fuller, plumper, and basically more kissable (not that we’re complaining). It’s the kind of lipstick that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together—glossy, bold, and totally on-point without even trying. Plus, the colours? Divine. Swipe it on and watch how it transforms any look from “meh” to fabulous.
Huda Beauty Icy Nude Eyeshadow Palette – Get Icy Eyes!
Ok, let’s talk about this palette. I’ve been living for these shades because they make my eyes pop without feeling like I’ve spent half the day blending. The icy tones? Chef’s kiss. You get that cool, seductive vibe that has you looking like you’ve just stepped off an editorial shoot. It’s sleek, smooth, and gives you that “I woke up like this” vibe (with a little extra glam, of course).
N°1 De Chanel Revitalizing Eye Serum
Under-eye bags? What under-eye bags? This serum is so lightweight and hydrating that I literally feel like I’ve gotten 8 hours of sleep in a bottle. CHANEL knows how to turn a tired face into a radiant one—and this eye serum is proof. It brightens, tightens, and hydrates in a way that makes me think: Why didn’t I try this sooner?
SUGAR Cosmetics Tint’d Lip & Cheek Tint
The multitasker we’ve all been waiting for! This lip-and-cheek tint is the definition of effortless beauty. It’s the perfect pop of colour, whether you’re dabbing it on your lips or cheeks. And the best part? It’s a foolproof, “I don’t have time, but I want to look put together” product. It’s one of those things you’ll carry with you everywhere. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The Earth Collective Hair Mask Traveller’s Spa
Forget what you think you know about hydrating masks—this one is next level. It’s rich, creamy, and leaves your skin feeling like it just had a luxury facial, all in the comfort of your home. After using it, my skin is like a sponge—so soft, plump, and hydrated it feels like it’s ready for a red carpet. It’s like a mini spa day, any day of the week.
Jo Malone London Velvet Rose & Oud Cologne
Here’s my little secret: if you want to leave a room with everyone asking, “What are you wearing?”, Velvet Rose & Oud is your answer. This fragrance is an intense, sensual mix of rose and oud that is so intoxicating it’s borderline addictive. It’s deep, it’s rich, and it’s a whole mood. If you want to feel like a goddess with an air of mystery, this is your scent.
Forest Essentials Luxury Sugar Soap
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—there’s something about Forest Essentials that just gets me. Their Luxury Sugar Soap? Pure magic. It’s like bathing in a cloud of indulgence. It cleanses, it nourishes, and it smells like you’re in a luxury spa—minus the hefty price tag. Trust me, your skin will thank you.
Oh, and because beauty isn’t my only obsession, I’ve decided to share a little something from beyond the vanity. Think of it as a peek into the non-beauty bits of my world—starting with this.
