“I was nervous when Armani told me Luminous Silk would be getting a refresh in late 2025, but not to worry—it’s still the GOAT. It’ll forever be my go-to foundation for special occasions when I want my skin to look flawless. I wore it on my wedding day!” —LAUREN BALSAMO, BEAUTY DIRECTOR“This is my favorite hair product ever. It helps soak up grease for a few days, not just when I spray it on. So I can shower on Monday, use it on Tuesday, and not need to wash my hair again until Friday. Without AirWash, my hair needs to be washed, ideally, every other day, but sometimes daily. This has single-handedly changed my hair routine. I get more time out of my vibrant copper hair color and spend way less time styling my hair. Sure, $48 for a dry shampoo is expensive, but for how much easier it is to do my hair, that’s a price I’m willing to pay over and over (and over, lol).”—BGAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“Tom Ford strikes again with this sensual fragrance that’s equal parts juicy, inviting, and soft. The dark-purple bottle embodies the moody vibe of the juice inside. It’s been my go-to when I want to be the best-smelling person in the room.”—JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR“This is so freakin’ expensive, but gosh, is it the most worth-it of everything on this list. I don’t even care that it’s cute and says Dior and makes me feel fancy pulling it out of my bag. It gives my lips the plushest, juiciest look ever, whether I opt for a sheer shade, a shimmer one, or one of the more pigmented options. I own a zillion colors, and they’re my prized possessions. They also double as a lip balm for me since they’re so hydrating.”—BGAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below"I’ve never stuck to a beauty tool as religiously as this mask. The remote makes it so easy to select and modify your settings (and check how much time you have left), and the cryo effect is truly next-level for a full self-care experience. I love that you can personalize your session and choose the skin treatment you want. It’s the highlight of my bed-rotting ritual. And the fact that it requires less than 10 minutes a day is pretty incredible and super convenient." —JH"Haus Labs is known for its skincare-infused formulas that have major color and coverage. This concealer tops of the list of my favorites from the brand, specifically for my most inflamed zits. This medium-coverage liquid is loaded with soothing arnica and niacinamide to help bring down swelling (whether that’s a blind pimple or under-eye bags). So when my acne is practically screaming at me, I just dab this on for some coverage without worrying it’ll make it worse, since the formula is also noncomedogenic."—BGAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“I never thought that I’d have a go-to body wash. First of all, I love changing up scents. But also, after going through a big bottle, I want something new. But the Cyklar body wash changed everything for me. This makes my skin feel hydrated once I rinse off, and I really love how sudsy it gets in the shower. I always have a bottle of this in my bathroom now, and I get my fix by swapping for a different scent every time (I started with Vanilla Verve, just finished Rose Bud, and now I’m going on to Sacred Santal)”—BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR“I’ve been through my fair share of blow-dry brushes, and Dyson’s latest Airsmooth is the best I’ve ever tested. It has unique bristles that don’t pull or snag at the hair. Instead, they bend with your strands, and, best of all, it’s less than half the price of the Airwrap.”—JHAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“I've tested a lot of hair products in my run as a beauty editor, but also as a thick-haired gal, and none have made my waves as beautiful as this mask. I simply used my favorite shampoo, then ran the mask through my mid-lengths to ends, let it sit for a few minutes in the shower as I scrubbed my body, and washed and brushed my hair out as usual. I wanted to see the Olaplex magic work on its own, and let me tell you, this single formula outperformed any combination of hair products I’ve ever used. My hair was incredibly smooth on top, where I usually get flyaways or creased pieces near my forehead, and it felt unbelievably soft. My waves were defined and effortless, requiring no heat styling or touch-ups. The mask did all the work, creating the best waves my head has ever had. I even went three days without washing, and my hair was still hydrated and smooth on day four.”—JH“If I’m in my apartment, there’s a 100 percent chance I’m wearing these eye patches. I store the jar in my fridge, so I get an extra shot of de-puffing alongside the infused caffeine. It’s also got a nice gripping texture, so they’re never sliding down my face.” —JHAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“When I wash my hair and am opting for a bouncy blowout via my Airwrap, I always coat my hair in this before adding any heat to it. Not only does it protect the strands up to 450 degrees, but it also turns my waves into the shiniest, smoothest, and frizz-free finish.”—JH“I’ve tried every single Rhode product, but the blush is easily my favorite. It’s probably my favorite cream blush of all time. The shades Hailey Bieber’s created look great on such a wide range of skin tones (my faves are Sprinkle, Freckle, and Tan Line, but I genuinely own and love them all), and they blend out quickly with a finger or brush.”—BGAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“Sure, you could pick up a cheap hair clip at the drugstore. But nothing will be as durable as an Emi Jay. I’ve had a couple of mine for years at this point, having traveled across the world with them and they have never once broken. And they come in soooo many designs and colors, whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist.”—BG“Celebrity makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes’s brand rarely goes on sale, so this is big. The best product from the brand, IMO, is the new mascara. Assistant beauty editor Jasmine Hyman and editorial assistant Mikhaila Archer both agree with me: It’s the best mascara we’ve tried this year. It fans out lashes, giving them volume and length, but it’s never, ever clumpy.”—BGREAD OUR FULL REVIEWAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“If you want to amp up your makeup, the biggest trick is getting new brushes. I have brushes from all different brands, but a lot of my favorites come from the Sephora Collection. These pro-level brushes are soft and durable, even through a lot of washings.”—BG“I’ve tried a lot of Dyson Airwrap-like multi-stylers, and one of my favorites right now is T3’s Aire. It gives hair serious volume, both with the round brush attachment and the curling barrels. But the best part is that this tool is dual-voltage. Virtually every multi-styler will fry the second you take it out of America. But this one is fab for travel. It even comes in a convenient leather bag to store all of your attachments.”—BGREAD OUR FULL REVIEWAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“Amika is stepping into body care and, honestly, it feels like a natural next move. They give my hair so much ‘body’ that it’s exciting to see how they have transformed my skin. This whipped body butter is rich yet airy at the same time. The fluffy texture melts right into the skin without leaving any heaviness behind. It’s packed with ceramides and nourishing butters, so it actually smooths and keeps my skin hydrated for hours. I love using it at night because when I wake up, my skin still feels soft. Plus, the scent is warm, slightly sweet, and elevated without being overpowering. It definitely plays well with whatever perfume I decide to wear that day. I’m excited to see this brand do more in the bodycare space.” —JULEE WILSON, BEAUTY EDITOR-AT-LARGE“I’m on a hair health journey, and while most of that comes down to scalp treatments, what you put on your ends matters too. This nighttime treatment is so easy—just smooth it through your mid-lengths and ends before bed—and really nourishes my hair while I sleep. I’ve almost used up a whole bottle, which is saying something because I have super short hair. I wanna be buried with my hair drenched in this stuff.”—BGAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“I was initially skeptical of PDRN skincare, but Rejuran’s serum here (it utilizes salmon-derived DNA, squalane, and niacinamide) has converted me into a believer. I’ve been using it as the first step in my a.m. routine for a month straight, and my skin looks bouncier and smoother as a result. The silky texture gives an immediate glow too, so I look forward to using it every morning.” —LB“Can’t make it to a spa for a facial? Although a treatment by Sofie herself will always be the best feeling on earth, this mask duo is pretty close straight from your bathroom. Start with the enzyme mask, which heats up and exfoliates to reveal brighter skin, then rinse it off and top your face with the cooling mask, a soothing and hydrating formula to calm things down. Both feel so good and have made my skin have that just-got-a-facial glow.”—BGBeth Gillette is the beauty editor at Cosmopolitan, where she covers skincare, makeup, hair, nails, and more across digital and print.
