January's Beauty Products

While 2025 may be off to a rocky start, at least it's looking pretty good on the beauty front. Despite classic new-beginning hardships and resolutions already slipping away, you can take comfort in the fact that Westman Atelier's calming petal shade is now available in *four* formats. There's beauty everywhere you look, especially if the place you're looking is Sephora's new launches page. 

Has the first viral fragrance of 2025 already landed? It seems that way—and if it doesn't gain the attention it deserves as the year goes on, it's at least the first place my eye travels in my personal perfume cabinet. Phlur's newest EDP selection, the fruity-floral Golden Rule, was crafted to "capture the art of attraction." Notes include mandarin, pink pepper, and golden pear (top), orange flower water, jasmine blossom, and coconut milk (heart), and benzoin, sandalwood, and vanilla cream (base).

The year of the snake is almost upon us! If your lover happens to get bit and you have to suck out the venom, I suggest making sure your lips are well prepared by stocking up on this Lunar New Year treat by Tower 28. Pairing the hydration of a lip mask with a sweet sheer tint (this one is a rosy nude) for a comfortable and softer than soft pout, this special-edition winter lip-saving balm features a hint of food-grade red bean flavor to bring your celebration to the next level.

or their Spring/Summer 2025 makeup launch, Chanel Beauty drew inspiration from Gabrielle Chanel’s "singular approach to color" and crafted the Colourmatch Collection, a selection of their beloved products in bold shades that you can mix or match for a monochrome look. We're particularly excited about the fabulous Rouge Coco Baume Shine's bright new landscape. And the pale blue-green Le Vernis longwear nail color! The shade, Artiste, is giving "Aquamarine"

Prada's new Infusion de Rhubarbe perfume is an unexpected floral fruity fragrance that's both pink and green, sweet and sour. "Infused within Prada's 'Esprit d’Infusion' rhubarb represents the quintessential contradiction at the heart of Prada, being incisively fresh yet subtle, delicate yet addictive," shares the brand. It's a vegetable that feels like a fruit, just like you're a WFH employee that feels like a superstar after you apply your scent du jour.

Sol de Janeiro's bestselling Beija Flor collection just gained a new—and super hydrating—sister (that your own little sister might try to steal from you). Beija Flor Elasti-Body Oil was designed to transform your skin with ingredients like cacay oil, squalane, and amaranthus flower seed extract. It enhances elasticity, hydrates deeply, and promotes smoother, more supple-looking skin no matter the season.
