Hi, and welcome to my Best in Beauty from 2025. In this video I’m doing my year-end roundup of the products that were new to me this past year—some are new launches, some have been around, but they’re my true 2025 discoveries. I cover body care (including hair care), skincare, and makeup, and I share what I reached for the most—because this kind of video forces me to sit down, take stock, and really see what I’ve been loving. For body and hair, I’m talking about what actually made a difference in how my thick, wavy hair behaves (soft, bouncy, not weighed down), plus the body products that feel genuinely luxe and perform. In skincare, I get into the gentle-but-effective staples I kept using: a foaming cleanser I’m almost finished with, my absolute superstar essence of the year, and two serums I went through enough to confidently recommend—especially if you’re navigating mature skin needs and want products that support the barrier and still deliver results. Then we move into makeup: easy, natural-looking base products, my most-used eye staples, and the cheek products that give that healthy, lifted glow without looking overdone.
