✨ Weekly Beauty Round-Up: December in Full Swing

December has officially switched into high gear, and this week has been filled with cosy textures, winter skincare heroes and a few makeup favourites that deserve a place in your December routine.

New In: Beauty Highlights

Fragrance

The new Kayali Freedom collection arrived this week and surprised me completely — I was convinced Musk Santal would be the standout, but Musk Matcha has ended up being the soft, creamy winter fragrance I keep reaching for.

Skincare

• The Tropic Hydration Set is such a dreamy winter pick — the Morning Mist is especially beautiful for dry, tired skin.

• A handful of Anua staples also made their way into my routine. Their azelaic-acid pairing and barrier-supporting toners are exactly what my winter skin needs right now.

• I joined a virtual masterclass with Smuuti Skin, a gentle, K-beauty-inspired Finnish brand with age-agnostic formulas. Their textures feel perfect for anyone wanting calm, balanced skin, and the branding makes them such a good pick for skincare-obsessed pre-teens.

• And a few reliable Medik8 top-ups, including the CSA routine — still one of the best starting points for balanced, adult skin.

Makeup

I rounded off the week playing with festive picks from No7, Merit, L’Oreal and Zoeva. Warm tones, soft sparkle and easy everyday glam — everything I want for December.
