10 Beauty Favorites That Are Coming With Me Into 2025

Well, well, well, my beautiful besties—another year is almost in the books, and we’ve lived to tell the tale, glowy skin and all. This year has been a rollercoaster (pregnancy, anyone?), but through it all, there were a few tried-and-true beauty products that carried me. I’m talking about those bulletproof, holy grail staples that held my hand through early mornings, hormonal skin, and everything in between. Some of these I leaned on pre-pregnancy, others I’ve relied on during this season, and a few I’m dreaming about incorporating back into my routine post-pregnancy. So here they are—the heroes, the MVPs, the ride-or-dies I’m packing up and taking with me into 2025.

1. SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum

First up, let’s talk about this baby, which is basically the Beyoncé of serums. Packed with growth factors and peptides, the TNS Serum doesn’t just promise results; it delivers. It kept my skin plump, smooth, and just plain radiant. Whether I was battling dullness or hormonal breakouts, this serum was like a mic drop moment every single time. If it’s not already in your routine, trust me—it’s time.

2. Biologique Recherche P50 Lotion

Let me just say this: If this toner were a person, it’d have its own fan club. Biologique Recherche P50 (yes, I triple-checked the spelling for us) is like a reset button for your skin. It exfoliates, balances, and gives you that fresh-from-the-facialist glow. It was a total game-changer for keeping my skin clear and happy, even when my hormones were doing the most.

3. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

Removing makeup? Check. Giving me a full-on spa moment at the sink? Double check. This cleansing balm is luxe in a jar—it melts away every last bit of grime and leaves your skin feeling like velvet. I used it religiously, especially on days when I needed a little self-care. The scent alone is therapy.

4. EltaMD UV AOX Tinted SPF 50

SPF queens, rise up! EltaMD’s Tinted Sunscreen is a non-negotiable in my routine. Not only does it protect, but the tint gives my skin just enough of that “I woke up like this” vibe. It’s lightweight, blends like a dream, and doesn’t irritate my skin—a huge win, especially during pregnancy when my skin decided to be extra.

5. Mason Pearson Hair Brush

Yes, it’s pricey. Yes, it’s worth every single penny. This brush is an heirloom-level investment in hair health. It detangles without breaking, boosts shine, and makes brushing your hair feel like a luxury experience. My hair has never been happier, and honestly, neither have I.

6. Dr. Dennis Gross LED Face Mask

Cue the futuristic beauty vibes. This LED mask is chef’s kiss for targeting fine lines, redness, and breakouts. I swear by it for those days when my skin needs a little extra TLC. It’s also very Instagrammable, but the real reason I love it? The results are undeniable. My skin feels tighter and brighter every time I use it.

7. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder

The name says it all—this powder is like a soft-focus filter for your face. It’s finely milled, doesn’t cake, and is basically magic in a compact. I used it for quick touch-ups and to set my makeup, and it always left me with that lit-from-within glow. Charlotte, you genius.

8. Patrick Ta Dual-Ended Makeup Brush

This brush deserves a standing ovation. It’s perfectly weighted, so easy to use, and versatile enough to handle everything from bronzer to blush. Plus, it’s double-ended, which makes it the ultimate travel companion. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever did makeup without it.

9. Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Electric Poppy

Bold lip lovers, this one’s for you. Electric Poppy is the red that works for everything—date nights, Zoom calls, even those “treat yourself” solo dance parties. It’s creamy, long-lasting, and unapologetically vibrant. My lips felt like they were dressed for the Met Gala every time I wore it.

10. Hourglass Vanish Concealer

Meet the concealer that never lets you down. Hourglass’s formula is creamy, full-coverage, and blends like an actual dream. It covered my dark circles, breakouts, and whatever else life threw at me, all while looking completely natural. A little goes a long way, so this tube lasts forever.

And there you have it—my beauty arsenal for 2025. These products have been through thick and thin with me (literally), and I’m forever loyal. Have you tried any of these? If not, what’s on your 2025 must-have list? Let’s dish in the comments!
