In our monthly Let’s Make-Up round-up, we bring you a selection of the tried and tested, freshest, and buzziest beauty launches that are worth adding to your basket.
All types of lotions and potions across makeup, skincare, haircare and more cross our desks and we take it upon ourselves to review them all so you don’t have to. If we include it below, then you know it’s a good ‘un.
December launches are typically steered towards Christmas gifting - and we have curated a guide, in price descending order, for every beauty lover on your seasonal shopping list. But there are some standout products still to note that have arrived in the festive month, namely Khloe Kardashian’s first-ever fragrance and a delicious shower oil from our favourite Sol de Janeiro.
For all this and more, see our edit of the hottest beauty drops you need on your radar.

Heliocare 360° Sensation SPF 50+
SPF should be applied come rain or shine - it doesn’t just protect from the sun, but blue light and pollution too. Heliocare is making that daily lathering that much easier too, making it impossible for you not to slip it into your skincare routine. This is by creating the 360° Sensation SPF 50+ formula which is lightweight, oil free and absorbs immediately into the skin with a practical invisible texture.

XO KHLOÉ by Khloé Kardashian
The striking faceted bottle will draw you in but you’ll keep spritzing Khloé Kardashian’s first foray into fragrance XO KHLOÉ for its blossoming bouquet of florals that erupts with each spray of the elixir. Rose petal notes evolve with orange blossom before drying down with praline, musk and white wood.

Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Shower Oil
The TikTok viral Delícia Drench collection from Sol de Janeiro has expanded to include a shower oil. The transforming texture turns from oil to milk, hydrating as it cleanses the body and imparting the delectable aroma of Cheirosa 59 - composed of vanilla orchid, sugared violet and sandalwood and created to be sunset in olfactory form.
Within the formula, there is the prebiotic hibiscus ingredient, moisture-rich bacuri butter and a blend of oils designed to support the skin barrier.

K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo
The problem with traditional dry shampoo is that while your hair appears less greasy, the texture is less than pleasant. And it creates that tell-tale cast. With this in mind, K18 set out to create a formula that avoided both of these issues, and the result is the AirWash Dry Shampoo. Instead of an aerosol, the product is made up of the brand’s patented technology odorBIND. These are translucent microbeads that absorb oil on contact without leaving build-up behind.
