5 of the Best Beauty Launches From December That We’ll Be Using into the New Year

Vida Glow officially launched into topical skincare products this month, with the release of its Age Defiance range. The line includes three products — the Rapid Renewal Serum ($130), the Eye Contour Cream ($120) and the Hydra Memory Cream ($130) — which are designed to brighten and plump the skin. All three of worth trying but the serum is particularly lovely thanks to its ability to firm skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A true highlight of the month!

Fenty Beauty is a firm favourite of mine and its new Liquid Killawatt Highlighter ($39) is no different. The liquid formula offers glow and superfine shimmer that can be applied as a sheer veil or built up into something a little more showstopping. If you’re looking for a summer glow, this is the product for the job.

This limited edition Airy Matte Tint ($20) by innisfree in collaboration with Steven Harrington is the perfect matte lip product. The addition of ceramides in the formula helps minimise flaking and makes the product feel super smooth and creamy. The shade Vintage Orange is my personal favourite, imparting the perfect stain-like finish on the lips.

If you haven’t tried Sundae’s Whipped Shower Foam ($20) yet, you’re really missing out on the fun. And this month, Sundae launched four new flavours — Pomegranate Fizz, Coconut Cream, Honey Honey and Cool Mint — with Pomegranate Fizz my new shower go-to. The foam is formulated with Kakadu Plum, for brightening and Finger Lime, for its exfoliating properties and it leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

As someone who paints their nails regularly, the new launch of Manicare’s Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover Dip ($7.69) is a dream come true. Instead of using cotton pads to wipe away the nail polish, all you have to do is insert your finger into the pot and twist until the polish is gone. Quick, easy and mess-free!
