Sometimes I feel bad asking my colleagues to name the best new beauty products. Choosing one can often feel like picking a favorite child: impossible and largely unfair, but I like to think of it as a worthwhile exercise.
With 2025 on the horizon, we’re reflecting on the beauty products that got us through the the year so far. From nostalgic makeup products that blew up on TikTok and sustainable skin-care innovations that reshaped our routines to buzzy launches, 2024 so far has been a playground for our beauty editors to rediscover old formulas—and fall in love with new ones.
Vogue’s Favorite Beauty Products of 2024
For starters, beauty editor at large Arden Fanning Andrews can’t get enough of Louis Vuitton’s LV Lovers. A fragrance whose woody and ginger appeal was so strong, it made her completely ignore the fact that it was created as a men’s cologne. Even Jess Diner, Global Beauty & Wellness Director, is a fan. Senior beauty and wellness editor Lauren Murdoch-Smith, on the other hand, has fallen in love with Hailey Bieber’s Rhode blushes—blending shades Toasted Teddy and Freckle for a sun-kissed glow that looks like she’s always “just back” from vacation. And if its body glow you’re after, I couldn’t leave the house this summer without applying Kopari’s shimmering sunscreen oil that delivered serious UV protection with a head-turning, non-greasy glisten during a New York City heatwave.
Below, all these and more beauty finds (both new or old!) that have been truly game-changing for our Vogue beauty editors here in New York and in London. From high-tech gadgets to newfound signatures, read on to discover our picks.
Rhode Fall Lip Case
My beauty launch of the year is not technically a beauty product but it does house a beauty product, so that still counts, right? It’s the rhode Lip Case. The phone cover of a million mirror selfies that is a marketer’s dream and just so brilliantly disruptive in how simple of a premise it was. As a genuine fan of the brand’s Peptide Lip Tint already, it was just a genius concept to me that I could leave the house essentially just with my phone and keys and have all my needs covered (if you include the fact that I have my credit cards in my Apple Wallet) and it consistently remains a talking point wherever I go. The seasonal shade updates have meant that I can update my case colors as I would a key coat or bag for the turn of a new season, and as something that could be considered a fad of 2024, I have no plans of giving mine up and plan to keep using it well into 2025. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director
U Beauty The Return Eye Concentrate
A Japanese facialist told me I have dryness around my orbital bone and I have been on the hunt for a hydrating eye cream every since. U Beauty to the rescue! The formula whips hyaluronic acid, beta glucan, peptides, and marine plankton extract together into a silky rich cream that not only moisturizes but addresses fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness with consistent use. My skin loves this stuff! —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick
My biggest makeup pet peeve is extra warm contour sticks that might as well be bronzers. The solution has been Westman Atelier’s contour stick in biscuit because of its ashy base, which mimics natural face contour. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
Braun i·expert Smart IPL Laser Hair Removal Device
Like it or not, I’ve started to think about summer body prep and, in particular, trying at-home hair removal. Braun’s latest technology links the high-tech laser to an app and tracks and guides your at-home treatment—like you would if you were visiting a clinic. It also adapts its intensity according to your skin tone, so it’s a pretty smart machine. —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Glossier Shadow Stick
I’m actually using Glossier’s new Shadow Stick in Amp to do my eyeliner lately and it’s looking good in photos! The right amount goes on with each swipe where you can slowly build up a look without having to fix your mistakes. —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Loop Experience 2 Earplugs
I found an unlikely wellness essential this year in Loop’s earplugs. Their Experience 2 buds have been a godsend for filtering out intense sound, from the screech of the subway on my daily commute to noisy distractions in the office–and especially during the concerts and festivals I spent most of the summer at. They work by reducing the amount of damaging sound that reaches your eardrums while not deafening you completely, so you can still experience the world around you. I’ve felt so much calmer since adding them to my arsenal. That they sit like stylish jewelry in the ears is only a plus–the rose gold pair has been my favorite find of the year and looks incredibly chic. Whether you find yourself feeling overstimulated by loud sounds or simply want to protect your hearing at the next gig you head to, I can’t recommend them enough. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
*Jo Malone London Hinoki & Cedarwood Cologne Intense
Though Blush Peony & Suede is one of my most-complimented perfumes ever, my true obsession is Jo Malone London’s Hinoki & Cedarwood Cologne Intense. The latest from the storied British fragrance house, this is a a warm, spicy, and comforting scent that comes to life via an aromatic clean accord, cedarwood, and hinoki sourced from Japan—inspired by the mind-body benefits of forest bathing. It’s the ultimate unisex scent for that person in search of a wintertime cologne to cozy up to. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Elysium Basis NAD+ Supplement for Cellular Aging
I’m very into the possibilities for NAD+ supplements (even as the studies are still rolling in!) and just started taking Elysium. I’ll report back with how hot I feel throughout 2025! —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
La Bronne Bosse N.03 The Essential Soft Hair Brush
I was agnostic about hair brushes until I tried this one. The combination bristles feel amazing on my scalp (like the best head scratch ever) while also smoothing my incredibly frizzy hair. Plus, the design is so pretty—I’m now becoming a 100-stroke-a-day girl. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush
Chanel Joues Contraste made me fall in love with powder blush again. It achieves a soft-focus, natural (never splotchy) burst of color to the skin with a single swipe. Keep in mind though: it’s more pigmented than you might expect. Dust a bit onto your brush, tap off any excess powder, then glide along your cheek for the most seamless (and buildable) application. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum
This is my “people stop me on the street” scent. Ginger, musk, and amber make this a big, powerful scent—but the notes of orange blossom and pear make it juicy and fun. Everybody goes in for a second hug when I’m wearing it. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
Victoria Beckham Beauty Eyewear
A go-to of mine for any quick eye look has been Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Eyewear. Available in 10 matte and shimmer shades (Pecan, a matte brown, is the ultimate all-over lid shade; whereas, Caramel is a delightful bronzed shimmer), these eyeshadow sticks blend like a dream. I like to color the lids with a few swipes of pigment, then blend with a brush. They’re buildable and crease-proof, too, meaning one can customize the look to their desire. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Topicals Like Butter Moisturizer
At the risk of sounding terribly juvenile, I find moisturizing my entire body to be so boring and time consuming. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t do it—I moisturize after showers regularly. Topicals is a brand that I love with my whole heart, and consistently enjoy their launches. The Like Butter mist is one of my favorite products in existence because not only is it a fabulous moisturizer, it’s so quick to apply. If you want someone to touch your arm and exclaim that your skin is so soft—purchase this. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
Cult Gaia Mast Eau de Parfum
If you didn’t know, 2024 was the year that Cult Gaia brought its design savoir faire into the fine fragrance realm. With its frosted glass, marbled sphere caps and gold hardware accents, the bottles are veritable objets that sit like ornaments atop your vanity. The scents themselves are just as artfully done, and Mast is my personal favorite. It’s got an addictive–and slightly unusual–blend of bergamot, coconut, and vetiver that really uplifts the senses. I’ll be keeping mine as decor long after the last drop–it’s got serious shelf appeal. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum
I do not know what I did before testing Beauty of Joseon’s Glow Serum. Finally, I have an elixir that keeps my acne at bay without removing my natural oils via a blend of 60% propolis extract, 2% niacinamide, and 0.5% BHA. These are whipped into a viscous, hydrating serum that my skin drinks up in seconds. I like to layer this K-beauty formula with a milky toner to lock in the moisture day or night. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Dolce & Gabbana Mint Lip Oil Plumper
I love lip oils; I can never seem to have enough of them. My insatiable need to purchase every lip oil led me to D&G’s lip oil plumper, and I especially enjoy the minty, fresh feeling. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
D.S. & Durga Debaser Buffing Bar
Our fashion king Mark Holgate has influenced the entire Vogue office with his beauty routine and now we’re all talking about bar soaps—one of his rules is that you always lather in your hands, nowhere else! If you have sensitive skin, the logic is perfect for this Debaser Buffing Bar that D.S. & Durga created with Soft Services. I even used it to get self tanner out of my whites and it left the nicest scent—figgy! Fresh! —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
Easily one of the most lauded face moisturizers on the market, Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream is worth every penny. As someone with oily skin, I kept a bottle of its The Cream in my bathroom but as the temperatures continue to drop, my skin is getting drier by the day. To suit, I swapped the lightweight version for this rich formula that does an excellent job delivering deep hydration via its TFC8 complex, evening primrose oil, squalane, and vitamin E. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Rhode Pocket Blushers

I imagine Rhode’s Pocket Blushers will be on every Vogue editor’s best product list this year. As a department of blusher obsessives and the brand’s Peptide Lip Tint fans, we had high expectations but they didn’t disappoint. The creamy formula blends seamlessly, is buildable and the packaging is, well, cute. I love that I can wear all shades but I have a soft spot for Freckle and Toasted Teddy blended together. —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Concealer
I’ve always been a fan of Danessa Myricks (the makeup artist and the brand), but I became something of a devotee watching fellow makeup artist Sir John work with her line backstage at Sergio Hudson’s FW24 show. Seeing the way he beautifully painted models’ faces with an assortment of pigments into a dreamy, skin-like finish inspired me to test every single piece from Myricks’ collection. The latest launch, however, has my heart captured at the moment. Depending on the day, I toy between hydrating and blurring concealers, but Yummy Skin Lift & Flex pairs the best of both. When blended out with a brush, sponge, or fingers, this lightweight concealer offers medium-to-full coverage—applying weightlessly for a natural, skin-like finish. Meanwhile, the featured caffeine, centella asatica, and plant extracts improves skin’s moisture levels and alleviates puffiness for a better-looking complexion over time. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Dermalogica Pro-Collagen Banking Serum
I have been seriously impressed with the cumulative results of this serum. Having seen the results of the clinical trials at the launch (collagen preservation, firmer cheeks and jawline, a more hydrated, plumper-looking complexion), I committed to using this morning and night to see if it would work for me and, one month later, I would say I concur with all the aforementioned. If you’re looking for a new serum to switch up your spring skin care routine, you’re looking at it. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director
L’Ange Le Duo Standard 360° Airflow Styler
I recently chopped my waist-length Cher hair to a short French bob, which led me to realize you need specific hair tools for short hair. Who knew? L’ange’s Le Duo Standard 360 Airflow Styler helps me fake a bouncy blowout because the barrel is small enough to capture even my shortest pieces of hair. Plus, because it also doubles as a straightener; and because it has tiny air vents to cool down curls, I’m not at risk of constantly burning myself. —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
Merit Signature Lip
I’ll admit that, when I first heard of Merit’s new lipstick, I was not immediately intrigued. I am a gloss girl through and through, so why should I be interested in a matte lip? But, when I saw makeup artist Yumi Lee paint model’s pouts backstage at Diotima’s latest show, I was impressed with how comfortable it looked. Not dry, patchy, or stiff like the matte lips I’d become accustomed too. Armed with samples of each shade, I took it for a go. I am shocked at how weightless this feels on, how modern the shades look, and how nourished my lips remain even after all-night wear. Merit, you’ve converted me! —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Louis Vuitton LV Lovers
Louis Vuitton is my family’s heritage brand, so attending this year’s Fragrance Foundation Awards (go Margaux!) with them to celebrate their perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud’s Lifetime Achievement Award was such a blast and introduced me to the house’s new scent with Pharrell, Lovers. The goal was to bottle sunlight with a men’s perfume (won’t stop me!) and it’s kind of woody and gingery with this note of galbanum that I had to look up: an earthy, aromatic plant gum sometimes called “Mother resin.” —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Clarins Lip Comfort Oil
In my mind, the perfect lip product must be three things: hydrating, fun to apply, and lightly pigmented. Clarins’ lip oils tick every box and I can’t leave the house without throwing one into my handbag. Packed with plant oils including organic sweetbriar and jojoba, it can even be used as a nourishing lip mask. —Ranyechi Udemezue, associate beauty & wellness writer
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Facial Spray
I seem to have a different face mist for every occasion these days and for a fun pick-me-up I’ve been reaching for this Glow Recipe spray. What I love most about it is its sweet watermelon scent, though its generous, fine mist is a close second. The formula itself includes hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and rice germ oil but also hibiscus which delivers naturally-occurring AHAs to improve skin texture and tone. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Sarah Chapman Clinic Range Vitamin C Power 1
I can’t get enough of vitamin C—I need all the brightness I can get, trust me, so when powerhouse facialist Sarah Chapman launched a trilogy of “in-clinic” inspired skincare, I took note. The vitamin C serum has two forms–oil and water soluble vitamin C to utilise absorption in both lipid and water phases of your skin. Chapman has also added niacinamide and tranexamic acid to the formula to further help the brightening process. Also note that despite the slender tube, the original testing pump I received is still delivering daily doses three months in. —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Prada Beauty Reveal Skin-Optimizing Refillable Soft Matte Foundation
I didn’t think the world needed another foundation—even if it was in glamorous metallic packaging—but Prada’s high-performing formula had me make room in my makeup bag. It’s one of the lightest formulas I’ve ever used, which makes the coverage payoff (somewhere between light and medium) so incredibly impressive. And the stay-all-day effect, which controls my shiny forehead but always looks skin-like, means I look good from morning meeting to evening face wash. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
Pat McGrath Labs Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil
At Vogue World Paris, the looks backstage, the vision of make-up marvel, Pat McGrath, were serving major drama, but it was this lip pencil—shade matched for me by McGrath herself—that left a lasting impression (quite literally). Mauvemoiselle, the perfect shade of mauve that works really well to enhance the natural purple tones within the lips, the pigment did not budge the entire day—even in the sweltering Paris heat. It’s a keeper. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director
Saie Glowy Super Gel
Everything about the Glowy Super Gels appeals to me. The lightweight texture, subtle, non-shimmery glow plus its ability to perform various tasks make it a must-have in my make-up bag. I am still a fan of the original Starglow shade but this season I’ve switched to Sunglow. I wear it as a base primer for my foundation and it gives me natural, healthy bronzed skin. —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Fara Homidi Smudge & Contour Lip Pencil
Fara Homidi’s line is unquestionably my most asked-about products of the year–the packaging is so beautiful it’s always the first thing our art team asks to try when it comes to the offices. Her Smudge & Contour Lip Pencil includes my favorite item: her powder blue pencil sharpener! I use it for everything, not just her liners, it cheers me every time I see it. —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint
Vogue beauty and wellness editor Hannah Coates trying the Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint.Video: Courtesy of Joris Hendrik
I can’t get enough of this lightweight, beautifully dewy skin tint. Delivering next-level luminosity via the perfect balance of coverage and translucence, skin looks natural and healthy, rather than done. Obsessed doesn’t cut it. —Hannah Coates, beauty and wellness editor
Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Color
I am by no means a pro nail artist, but Chanel’s polish is the only one that seriously never chips for me. Perhaps its the sturdy brush that allows me to paint my beds with streak-free precision, or its the composition enriched with camellia eco-ceramides that helps avoid chipping. Either way, it’s become my go-to for my biweekly pedicure (when I’m not using gel polish). What’s more, Chanel comes out with new shades each season so there’s always a fresh, fun color to choose. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
CeraVe Oil Control Moisturizing Gel
This is one for my oily-skinned girlies. As a CeraVe devotee, this new gel-cream is super affordable and contains oil-absorbing technology to prevent the kind of shine you have to touch up throughout the day. It’s comfortable on the skin and sits well under make-up too–you can’t go wrong. —Hannah Coates, beauty and wellness editor
Oribe Desertland Revitalizing Hand Wash
I haven’t be particularly fussy about my hand soap, but after trying Oribe’s Revitalizing formula, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to go back. You can feel how nourishing this is with just one pump of product—I’d go as far as saying it feels as lush as my favorite moisturizer. Once it touches water, it works into a rich lather than cleanses without stripping. And in expected Oribe fashion, leaves a delightful scent long after the suds have been washed away. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Morphe Huephoric Rush 3-in-1 Silk Blush
One of the most underrated blush drops of the year was this primer-blush hybrid from Morphe. It delivers a gorgeous, glassy dumpling cheek that I can’t get enough of and is pigmented while being packed with skin-care ingredients that condition the skin. What’s most impressive is how well it performs compared to its pricier counterparts–bounce it on with a Beautyblender, and you get a radiant skin finish that stays all day without fading. A hidden gem. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
Guerlain Meteorites Setting & Finishing Pearls of Powder
I pack so, so, so light—I’m at the DNC right now and flew from NYC to Chicago with only my Vogue tote. Still, I’ve been making room all summer for two shades of Guerlain’s new Meteorites in their bulky-yet-beautiful reusable tins. The lightest is a soft-focus finishing powder, the darkest a believable bronzer that doesn’t look dirty—people keep thinking I’m not wearing makeup. Recommend! —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Curlsmith Defrizzion Travel Dryer
This hair dryer epitomizes the term small but mighty with its foldable, space-saving design. It’s incredibly light in hand, with comb pick and diffuser attachments that curly-haired girls will appreciate. Every time I’ve used it I’ve been impressed by how well it blow dries coils for a smooth finish that I can run my fingers through. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
La Prairie Skin Caviar The Mist
Vogue commerce editor Joy Montgomery trying the La Prairie Skin Caviar The Mist.Video: Courtesy of Joris Hendrik
Do not sleep on the benefits of face mists—especially when they come as potent as La Prairie’s. Housed in a vanity-worth cobalt blue bottle is a treasured elixir meant to energize and smooth skin instantly. Powered by the brand’s Caviar Hydroessence and Micro-Nutrients, this comes out as a super fine mist that spritzes evenly onto the skin—leaving skin feeling hydrated and balanced. The best part? Skin is not left overly dewy, rather refreshed, radiant, and glowing without excess shine. I like to use it at all steps of my routine—before bed, as a toner pre-serums and moisturizers, or for a pick-me-up throughout the day. At 1.7 oz, it fits seamlessly in my carry-on. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Escentric Molecules Escentric 02 Eau de Toilette
Love at first spritz, this fragrance is everything I love about layered fresh scents in just one bottle. Infused with jasmine bud, mandarin and bergamot, it’s delightfully crisp, and comes in a super sleek bottle, too–wonderful for when you’re on the go. —Ranyechi Udemezue, associate beauty & wellness writer
Byredo Kajal Pencil
For anybody who is into tightliner, these Byredo pencils are key. Gorgeously pigmented and smooth, I have the entire collection—because while a classic black is fun, the colors like navy or silver are oh-so-cool. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
Adwoa Beauty Melonberry Spray Leave In Conditioner
Under my extensions, I’m all about protecting the length and strength of my natural coils. Adwoa Beauty’s milky spray is like an essence for scalp and strands, silky, nourishing, and easily spritzed on cornrows between wefts. What’s more, its blend of berry seed oils smells leaves your hair smelling incredible, and when you take down your braids, you’ll find super soft and detangled tresses. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
L’Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara
L’Oreal’s latest mascara launch has one of those brushes that delivers well-defined eyelashes but allows you to load up on the formula, if you prefer your mascara on the chunkier front—like me! —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow
I was once walking down the street in Fort Greene when someone asked the secret to getting my skin so glowing. Glancing down at my gleaming décolletage, I recalled massaging on a few drops of Kopari’s Sun Shield in lieu of a body sunscreen cream. While the SPF 50 does an excellent job at shielding against UVA and UVB rays, I gravitate towards it because it feels lightweight and non-greasy on the skin, and leaves an eye-catching glisten. I’ve been using the gold shade but think I’ll try the amber hue next. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Refy Lip Sculpt
Consider me the princess of polarizing beauty opinions because I gravitate towards any products that evoke a strong reaction in the court of social media opinion. For starters, there is no lip liner I love more than Refy’s Lip Sculpt—I’ve worn it through some of the longest work days, the messiest pastas, and many glasses of water. Rather than altogether wearing off, it gently fades (and that’s after a lot of stress testing). —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
Hair by Sam McKnight Love Me Do Nourishing Shine Oil
A featherlight dry hair oil, this new formula from hairstylist Sam McKnight ticks all my boxes. It’s not just the happy-making packaging I love, it’s also brilliant at taming flyaways, reducing frizz, and lending a subtle healthy shine on mid-lengths and ends. With argan, sunflower, and camellia seed oil, it also smells delicious. —Hannah Coates, beauty and wellness editor
Ilia Perfecting Buff Brush
There’s not much to say about this Ilia makeup brush except that it truly is perfect (excellent naming on Ilia’s part!). The Perfecting Buff Brush is a compact tool featuring soft densely packed packed bristles just fluffy enough to blend creams and liquids expertly into the skin. It’s my go-to for bronzer and blush. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Loewe Marihuana Body Lotion
Having just renovated my bathroom, there was one product I wanted in situ as I took pictures to share with family and friends… Loewe’s Marihuana Body Lotion. Aside from the soothing aroma, I’m also incredibly into the packaging and the fact it makes moisturizing your body a real treat. —Hannah Coates, beauty and wellness editor
Haus Labs PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze
If at least 10 people give you a compliment on the product, I feel like it belongs on this list. That’s what happened to me the day I wore this lip gloss-oil hybrid in Macaron—it’s just good and I like it. Clearly, other people did too. Nothing else to say. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Glitter Mascara
Maybelline’s Sky High mascara was already one of my favorites for a lengthened, fluttery lash, but this new launch has knocked it out the park. Speckled with pearlescent particles, it gives you a sparkling finish that looks insanely good in low light and has comes right on time for the festive party season. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
Dior Baby Bonne Étoile Scented Water
Not that I’m one to deprive my children, but, when it comes to Dior beauty, I’ll make an exception. With perfumer and Dior perfume creative director Francis Kurkdjian behind the Baby Dior’s scent, I’ve made sure I’ve kept hold of the scented water for myself. A gentle, soft smell that reminds me of newborn skin. —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Bondi Boost HG Dry Shampoo
I’m picky about dry shampoo formulas—this one smells more fresh than sweet (in a good way) and doesn’t turn my hair into a powdered wig. —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Summer Fridays Lip Butter in Birthday Cake
I’m a huge fan of Summer Fridays’s Lip Butters and their latest shade, Birthday Cake, is a celebration of the brand turning six. It’s the same hydrating, non-sticky formula in a very subtle, sugar icing pink tint. A new obsession. —Lauren Murdoch-Smith, senior beauty and wellness editor
Susanne Kaufmann Hayflower Bath Oil
Is there anything better than a bath at the end of the day? Personally, I don’t think so, and I’m currently obsessed with this essential-oil-infused bath oil by the Queen of them, Susanne Kaufmann. A blend of Alpine hayflower and natural antioxidant astaxanthin, it’s a quick ticket to calm—I finish by wrapping myself in one of Baina’s checkerboard robes. Peace personified. —Hannah Coates, beauty and wellness editor
Love Wellness Bye Bye Bloat Lymphatic Massage Roller
I’ve been dry brushing for a decade, so I’m always looking to branch out and try something new to get my body moving. This handheld device has cool (like, cold, but also cool-looking) cryo-balls on it that revolve as you roll it across your skin. You can really feel it stimulating your system, and it’s a nice treat for your skin too—I actually like to do it once I have body oil on to help it absorb. —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty editor
Kylie Cosmetics Transformative Lip Tint
If you’ve never tried a Kylie Cosmetics lip oil, make this one your first. The plush, wide wand effortlessly covers your pout, while squalane and shea butter in the formula leave dry lips feeling thoroughly cared for. Black Cherry has been making waves because it morphs on contact to become a plum shade that perfectly matches your lips, but I’ve been loving the entire range for a glossy finish this winter. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
Kiss imPRESS Falsies Press-on False Lash Kit
Pressed for time but still want to look put together? Kiss’s imPress under-lashes are an absolute godsend. Because the clusters are self-adhesive, there is zero faffing or fiddling with tweezers and glue, and the natural set has become my go-to for a lifted feline eye. I’ve taken a tray with me on my travels throughout fashion month and the results have won me endless compliments everywhere I’ve been. Imperciptible and ultra comfortable, trust me when I say you won’t need to waste time with mascara ever again. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
BareMinerals Illuminating Mineral Veil
Believe me when I say this is the best soft-focus filter in my bag, I carry it everywhere, and it’s with me at Paris Fashion Week as we speak. —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Nars Afterglow Liquid Blush
My blusher obsession knows no bounds, and this is my current favorite. A sheer, ever-so-slightly shimmery peach liquid in texture, it can be built up for the intensity of blush required, but it’s also the large doe-foot applicator that makes it a dream to apply. Consider this your spring flush in a tube. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director
Epi.logic Master Plan Collagen Renew Growth Factor Serum
Someone somewhere is tired of hearing me wax on about Epi.logic’s Master Plan serum. Over the last year or so, it’s become a skin care staple of mine for its refreshingly hydrating texture and skin barrier-boosting composition. The brand’s signature Cell Service complex of growth factors and peptides essentially boosts skin’s collagen and elastin production, while promoting firmer, bouncier skin. It’s also incredibly gentle (thanks, in part, to hyaluronic acid, sea kelp bio ferment, and snow mushroom); so much so, I relied on it to heal my skin following my last MOXI treatment. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Dior Addict Lip Glow
I wrote in our March issue “Quick Change” story about how this product is one of my favorite of all time—I wore it to my wedding, I wear it all over my face! At their FW24 show, models wore the clear version on their lips and now I want that too, though… —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
I Don’t Know What DS & Durga Set
I have learned in my decade of beauty at Vogue that almost everyone, even people who think they don’t care about beauty, secretly wants a gorgeous matching set in their shower. This fragrance (they say it’s a cult hit) really is good for all genders, and the aluminum packaging is a nice touch! —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
Ouai Hair Gloss
Feeling like your hair has lost its luster or shine? Or are you due a haircut but just haven’t quite found the time to get around to it? Step in the Ouai Hair Gloss that in one pea-size drop (or two-pea size drops for thicker or textured hair) will smooth and add instant bounce and shine. Think of it like a weightless, undetectable top coat for your hair. —Jessica Diner, European beauty and wellness director
Byredo Liquid Lipstick Matte
I had forgotten about my love of lipstick until this Byredo number got delivered—now I’m obsessed all over again. If you’re after a formula that cocoons the lips, while still maintaining excellent pigment and staying power, this is it. The Marriage shade is sexy and vampy and looks great with a minimal complexion and mascara. Add to basket! —Hannah Coates, beauty and wellness editor
Chillhouse Chill Tips Press-On Manicure Kit
To know me is to know I love press-on nails! I am simply too impatient to get my nails done professionally, and oddly rough with my hands—meaning nail chipping and breaking is frequent. So, I’ve embraced press-ons fully and have gotten so good at them, people are shocked to hear they aren’t a full-on manicure. The Chillhouse Chill Tips have garnered me the most compliments. The designs are chic, they’re easy to apply, and the featured glue is strong, meaning one application can last weeks if you do it right. This week’s set is “Chill at the Disco”—a funky, glimmering silver I applied after seeing models grace the LaPointe runway sporting the design. —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
Tom Ford Concealer Stick for Men
The men’s makeup category is home to some hidden gems, and Tom Ford’s concealer stick is a fine example. Super precise, the slim stick is the perfect diameter for snatching your under-eyes and sculpting the face, plus easy to slide in your purse for on-the-go touch-ups. What makes it a winner is the self-setting formula that seamlessly merges with skin for a natural finish that covers razor cuts and leaves your under-eyes impossibly smooth. —Tracy Achonwa, commerce beauty and wellness writer
