January’s Best Beauty Launches

With so many new beauty products dropping each month, it’s hard to know what’s worth the attention. So, we’ve done the digging for you.

Read below to discover the January launches that deserve a spot on your beauty shelf.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Glidr Shadow Stick

Zero brushes, zero fallout, zero stress — meet Anastasia Beverly Hills’ new Glidr Shadow Stick, your swipe-and-go shortcut to eye looks that last. Creamy on contact, it glides effortlessly across lids before setting into a smudge-proof, water-resistant finish that won’t budge for up to 12 hours. The precise tip makes it just as good for bold lid colour as it is for lining the lash line or waterline. From metallic pearls to rich jewel tones, it’s effortless eye definition done properly.

Haruharu Wonder Probiotics Barrier 2% NAD+ Serum Mist

This isn’t just another hydrating mist — it’s a longevity-led micro-serum in spritz form. Formulated with 2% NAD+, probiotics, and a ceramide complex, Haruharu Wonder’s milky mist hydrates and supports barrier repair while delivering an instant glow boost. The patented Ultra Deep Technology is on hand to ensure actives penetrate properly for maximum absorption and maximum benefit. Ideal for stressed, sensitised skin or anyone chasing that dewy, biohacked glow.

MAC Powder Kiss Lip + Cheek Mousse

Nothing beats a multitasking lip-and-cheek formula when you want maximum impact with minimal effort, and MAC’s Powder Kiss Lip + Cheek Mousse delivers exactly that. The airy, whipped texture melts into skin and lips, diffusing colour into a soft-focus, hazy matte finish that lasts up to 10 hours without feeling dry. Designed for monochromatic moments, it blurs lip lines, cushions cheeks with a fresh flush, and keeps things looking effortless rather than overdone. Consider it your shortcut to a perfectly undone makeup look.

Fussy Refillable Natural Hand Wash

Fussy is bringing its planet-first ethos to your sink with its new refillable natural Hand Wash. Zinc banishes bacteria without drying skin out, while prebiotics, aloe vera, and plant-based surfactants keep hands soft. The refill system cuts down on single-use plastic, and its range of colours and scents prove that everyday essentials can be both sustainable and stylish — no compromises required.

Ilia Overglaze Hydrating Lip Gloss

All anyone wants in a lip gloss is shine without stickiness (well, a little hydration also helps). Ilia’s new Overglaze delivers on all counts, glazing lips in plush, gel-like shine with 24-hour hydration to back it up. The long-wear formula smooths, subtly plumps, and stays put without feathering, even after the gloss is gone. Available in 12 sheer, buildable shades inspired by ceramic finishes, it’s polished, modern, and refreshingly low-maintenance. Gloss lovers, this one’s for you.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydrating Cleansing Mousse

Cloud-like cleansing, incoming. Elemis’ new Pro-Collagen Hydrating Cleansing Mousse transforms from cream to airy foam, removing makeup, SPF, and impurities while promising to boost hydration by 125%. Powered by fermented Padina pavonica, marine water, and prebiotic inulin, it cleanses deeply without stripping the skin. Expect soft, comforted skin — with a side of Elemis’ signature aromatherapy.

Guerlain Météorites Blooming Glow Pearls Powder

This month Guerlain’s Météorites get a fresh glow-up with the Blooming Glow edition, and it’s every bit as covetable as you’d expect. The iconic light-reflecting pearls blur, brighten, and softly illuminate skin for that natural glow that never looks overdone. Housed in a limited-edition pink denim case made with upcycled fabric, it’s as much a vanity-piece as it is a finishing powder. A light sweep sets makeup, smooths the complexion, and leaves skin looking fresh, radiant, and effortlessly polished.

P.Louise Milk It Melt Makeup Remover

Want a cleanser that keeps things ultra-comfortable? Then P.Louise’s Milk It Melt is for you. This creamy, milky makeup remover dissolves even stubborn eye makeup without tugging or causing irritation. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, the balm-to-milk texture rinses clean, leaving skin soft, calm, and hydrated. Part of the brand’s new Teddy Collection, it also happens to smell like coconut cake, turning your cleanse into a genuinely indulgent moment.

Dr. Althea PDRN Reju 5000 Cream

Dr. Althea’s PDRN Reju 5000 Cream taps into Korea’s growing fascination with regeneration-led formulas, using vegan PDRN to support barrier recovery and calm inflammation. Paired with trending EGF, centella leaf water, and panthenol, it helps stressed skin recover while improving elasticity and overall stability. Lightweight and soothing, it’s a smart entry point into the new wave of skin-repair skincare, especially for those with sensitive or overworked complexions.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream

Don’t let ‘meltdown’ fool you. Kiehl’s new Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream is all about restoring calm and delivering relief to sensitive, stressed skin in minutes, with hydration that lasts up to 96 hours. Colloidal oatmeal, bisabolol, and dexpanthenol work together to soothe irritation and strengthen the barrier from the first use. Featherlight and comforting, it’s designed as a first responder for skin emergencies — from post-procedure to peak winter dryness.

Maria Nila Bond Builder

Maria Nila’s Bond Builder is made for hair that’s been through it — think colour appointments, regular heat styling, or just a bit too much heavy handling. The lightweight leave-in helps minimise breakage, smooth flyaways, and protect against heat and UV exposure, without leaving locks feeling heavy or overly coated. It’s the kind of product you reach for when your hair needs a little reinforcement rather than a full reset.

Votary Super Barrier Balm

If your skin barrier is calling for backup, Votary’s Super Barrier Balm answers fast. Packed with cica, prebiotics, squalane, and antioxidant-rich oils, this buttery balm calms inflammation while reinforcing the skin’s natural defences. Designed for even the most reactive skin types, it soothes redness, restores suppleness, and supports long-term resilience without fragrance allergens. We call it a comfort blanket for compromised skin.

By Terry Brightening CC Serum

By Terry has reformulated its cult-favourite Brightening CC Serum, and it’s better than ever. It still gives that iconic, natural glow, but now delivers a little skincare on the side. The sheer, colour-correcting formula boosts radiance by 237%, hydrates for 24 hours, and blurs imperfections without adding coverage. Featherlight, glow-enhancing, and endlessly flattering, it’s proof that some beauty icons can age well (with a little work, of course).

Kosas Shiny Objects Wet Glisten Powder Highlighter

For anyone who’s found traditional highlighters too metallic or texture-emphasising, Kosas’s Shiny Objects Wet Glisten Powder Highlighter takes a quieter approach. It is a first-of-its-kind wet-pressed powder that blends wet and dry ingredients to retain moisture and melt into the skin for a glistening finish that’s never chalky, glittery, or opaque. There are five shades total, each designed to be applied wherever you want to glow — face, eyes, or body.

Malin+Goetz All-Purpose Moisture Balm

Malin+Goetz’s All-Purpose Moisture Balm is our new go-to when skin feels tight or overworked. The balm softens into an oil once applied, delivering moisture without leaving behind a greasy finish. It’s made with a mix of botanical oils and butters and is intended to support the skin barrier, with hydration that lasts for up to 12 hours. Designed for use from head to toe, it’s useful on dry patches, lips, cuticles, and areas that tend to take the brunt of daily exposure.

Manucurist Xtreme Flash Top Coat

If you love gel-level shine but hate the commitment, Xtreme Flash is about to change your manicure routine in the best way possible. Designed to extend Manucurist’s Green Flash system to up to 21 days, this LED gel top coat delivers a curved, ultra-glossy finish — then removes in just 10 minutes with zero filing or acetone. Even better, it’s TPO-free, meaning long-lasting wear doesn’t come at the expense of clean beauty standards. Salon-level nails, minus the damage and downtime.

Erborian Centella Red Serum

This month, Erborian expanded its bestselling Centella Redness Relief range — and our favourite newcomer is the Centella Red Serum. This green-tinted formula reduces redness in both size and intensity within 24 hours, while also calming sensitivity and boosting hydration. It is powered by 2% Korean centella asiatica, bisabolol, and ectoine, which work together to dial down irritation and reduce tingling. Skin is left feeling calmer, more comfortable, and visibly more even — a reassuring go-to in times of need.
