TRENDS

What’s trending in beauty this month?

As the January blues fade and we delve deeper into the new year, we're greeted by an exciting surge of new makeup, hair, skin, and wellness launches to obsess over. Even though it's only February 2025, we've already discovered some must-have products guaranteed to become staples in our everyday routines.

Cherry Red

We’ve seen the Burgundy Trend have its moment last year but it’s time for Cherry Red to take the spotlight. Whether it’s through makeup, fragrance or even hairstyles, be prepared to see a lot more of this shade in the upcoming months.

Starting off strong, we’ve got the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm. This balm is laced with nutrient rich ingredients that boosts hydration and leaves your skin feeling like a glazed donut. The best part? It’s got a rich, black cherry and vanilla scent.

If there’s two products you need this year, it’s the Clinique Black Honey Lipstick and Lip Cheek Oil Duo. This long-lasting lipstick provides a radiant finish whilst the cheek oil gives you a subtle flush that creates a flawless cherry red monochrome makeup look.

Cherry nails are the ultimate cool girl symbol this season, and you don’t want to miss out! The Essie Nail Polish in Bordeaux is a high-shine long lasting formula that will leave you looking like you’ve walked out fresh from a salon.

Valentine’s Day

It’s the month of gift-giving, Galentine’s and self-love.

Whether you’ve got a big date for the 14th or you’re watching rom coms with your girls, the LOOKFANTASTIC Valentine’s Edit is the best valentine you’ll ever have. With all your beauty essentials in one place, you’ve got everything from the Sol De Janeiro Perfume Mist to the luxurious rose-infused sheet masks from 111SKIN. Can you ask for a better date? We don’t think so!

Over the years, Galentine’s has become as significant as Valentine’s Day and rightfully so! Your ride-or-die girls deserve all the love, and we’ve got the perfect gift to brighten up their day. The LANEIGE Smore’s Kisses Set is a two-piece set consisting of an overnight lip mask in a mouth-watering chocolate flavour and a vanilla lip balm that will leave your lips plump and luscious for the next day.

Pop Star Fragrances

The grammy’s, aka the biggest night in music might have ended last week, but we’re still not over the iconic celebrities who walked the red carpet. Thankfully for us, we’re able to shop some of their fragrances here on LOOKFANTASTIC.

Starting with Sabrina Carpenter, celebrated for her ‘Short N Sweet’ album, has recently launched her latest fragrance, Cherry Baby. Infused with notes of cherry and dark chocolate, this perfume is sure to be as sweet as her album.

This list wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Billie Eilish. Her Eilish by Billie Eilish Perfume is the perfect everyday fragrance that can be worn by itself or layered with other perfumes. From warm amber to cocoa and vanilla scents, you’ll feel like a million bucks when wearing this. If that’s not enough, the bottle looks like something out of a museum!

Last but never least, let’s talk about Ariana Grande’s Cloud Perfume. A vibrant fruity scent that inspires hope, you’ll literally feel like you’re walking on clouds with this one.

Morning Shed Trend 

If you want to wake up with flawless skin and picture-perfect hair, prepare to fall in love with this trend. If you’re feeling lost, don’t worry, we’ve got you! Think overnight lip masks, undereye patches, heatless curls and just about any other overnight treatment you can imagine, worn all at once. You go to bed wearing all these products and ‘shed’ them in the morning to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Bit overwhelmed? We’ve put together a step-by-step process to keep things simple!  

  1. Start your routine with the Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set and wake up with effortless waves. Simply clip in the curling ribbon, wrap your hair around it and secure with a scrunchie for easy curls.  
  2. Now that your hair is out of the way, take off the day with the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm. Enriched with nourishing oils, your skin will feel instantly refreshed. Next, give your skin a treat with Clinique’s Mild Liquid Face Soap, perfect for gently removing any dirt and debris from the day. 
  3. Moving on to one of our most-loved products, the ELEMIS Superfood Midnight Facial. This overnight mask boasts vitamin rich ingredients that intensely hydrates your skin for an even and radiant complexion. 
  4. The morning shed wouldn’t be whole without the MZ Skin LightMAX Hydracolloidal Patches. These undereye patches work overtime to brighten dark circles and help reduce the appearance of fatigue. 
  5. Finish things off with the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask in Berry which actively plumps your lips overnight, leaving them looking full and irresistible when you wake up. 

Kind Patches 

If you haven’t seen the viral Kind Patches all over social media, where have you been? A collection designed to mix convenience with your wellbeing; these products have taken the internet by storm. Made to be worn on the upper arm, wrist, back or shoulders, they can be worn for up to eight hours and come with various benefits.  

Perfect for after a rough night out, the Recover Patches are rich in antioxidants and vitamins such as B12 that help your body feel more refreshed.  

Want to age like fine wine? The NAD+ patches are the perfect solution for helping to improve signs of ageing. Full of natural ingredients and extracts, this patch can leave you with firm and plump skin after continued use.   

Next up, a crowd favourite, the Extra Strong Dream Patches. These patches are infused with ingredients like ashwagandha, magnesium glycinate, and valerian root, to promote a better quality of sleep.

From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
