Tonnes of new beauty launches landed on our desk this January, but these are the ones actually worth snapping up

RRP: £48

"A mousse in the way that a fancy French restaurant will give you the most rich, thick and silky chocolate mousse for dessert, this is about as decadent as it gets for a cleanser. Thick, rich, creamy and almost buttery in the way it glides across the skin, this washes away makeup and build-up in seconds, leaving a soft, nourished finish in its wake. I love a shower oil for how it leaves the skin feeling like you've just moisturised even when it's rinsed and dried off - and this does exactly the same thing."

If you know me, you'll know that I'm very picky when it comes to finding the best mascara. As someone with naturally straight lashes (they almost point downwards), I'm always on the hunt for a formula that not only delicately lengthens my lashes, but also does a stellar job at lifting and curling them too. Enter, Lancôme's newest mascara addition – the Curl Goddess Mascara. I had a good feeling about this buy from the get-go as the tube feels incredibly lightweight and the formula inside isn't overly wet or messy. But it actually went above and beyond my expectations as it delivered effortless fanned-out results in just one swipe, separating my lashes for a natural-looking lifted and curled effect. Not to mention, these results lasted all day long, which is rare for me as my eyelashes typically drop as soon as I step outside. In fact, this mascara impressed me so much that it has become my new go-to.

"Jones Road has launched bodycare. Say less. Honestly, I knew I’d love this because I love every considered, intentional move Bobbi Brown’s brand makes. But once I got the body oil and lotion into my bathroom and started using them, the textures, aromas, and functional-chic packaging still thrilled me. The oil, in particular, is a gem. It smells lovely, but not overpoweringly essential oil-y (so many do), and has left my ashy winter limbs comfy and sheeny without getting all over my clothes."

Tatcha is known, and loved, for its ability to create some of the best face moisturisers on the beauty scene, and now there's a newbie on the block. Say hello to the Longevity Memory Cream. This youth-restoring formula utilises the brand's nutrient-rich Okinawa Cellescence Complex to delay visible signs of ageing – think boosted elasticity, long-lasting hydration and a brightened complexion. The cream takes form as a gel-cream with a bouncy texture that is reminiscent to memory foam, therefore earning the 'memory' title in its name. Effortlessly melting into the skin, this moisturiser has a cooling effect upon application, before imparting a brighter, bouncy appearance with a healthy dewy radiance.

RRP: £49

"Medik8 strikes again, this time with a gentle, oil-balancing serum that uses niacinamide and peptides to soothe redness and inflammation while supporting the skin barrier and encouraging skin cell renewal. I also love the hyaluronic acid inclusion that helps this serum to gently exfoliate the skin without any irritation or dryness."

It's the world's worst kept secret that I'm a big Living Proof fan, with the Full Shampoo and Conditioner being some of my most frequently used products. So, I was excited to discover their newest launch, the Moisture Rescue Mask – which arrived in perfect time to battle my dry winter strands. This mask is designed to transform brittle, lifeless hair into bouncy, silky-soft tresses, and that it does. After just one use, my hair felt smoother, softer and more hydrated. Not only that, but it also revived the healthy shine of my locks and kept flyaways at bay. I also appreciate how it only requires to be left on for five minutes, as no one has any more time to be hanging around for a hair mask to work its magic. Oh, and its scent is salon-worthy!

RRP: From £37

"One of my favourite fragrances from Jo Loves, Amber Lime & Bergamot is warm, citrussy, woody, with a touch of sweet, so I loved seeing that it's now available in a bodycare range. Layer with the perfume to make the scent last all day."

To celebrate the launch of this new serum, I was lucky enough to be treated to a facial with Laneige earlier this month. In fact, I was left so impressed by my introduction to this formula that it has worked its way into my daily skincare routine. Only needing three drops to cover my entire complexion, this formula acts as both a hydrating and retexturising serum, working deliver long-lasting hydration while smoothing uneven texture – AKA glass skin. As someone with a dull, tired complexion, since using this serum my skin has appeared naturally brighter, radiant and more even. It also gets points for its innovative, easy-to-use packaging that effortlessly dispenses the product.

RRP: From £23

"I’m a longtime fan of Kiehl’s OG Ultra Facial Cream, so when this intensified, restorative version landed in the woman&home beauty cupboard, I whisked it home and slathered it on tout suite. The clue is in the name - facial meltdown - and the punchy-looking siren-red pot. It’s designed to help when your skin is freaking out, probably due to bad weather or bad behaviour with aggressive skincare. I was guilty of both in December, and this squalene, bisabolol, and colloidal oatmeal blend soothed away my skin sins all January long."

It's almost impossible to find a lip gloss that doesn't leave behind a hair-attracting stickiness, but this ILIA formula is an exception. Possibly one of the most comfortable lip gloss formulas my lips have ever adorned, this featherlight, non-stick formula is infused with fenugreek seed extract and seaweed seed extract for long-lasting hydration and definition. Arriving in 12 shades, it not only delivers a sheer wash of colour to the pout but also boasts an impressively glossy finish that naturally catches the light, giving the lips a smooth and plump appearance.

RRP: From £14

"Firstly, can we talk about how chic this collection looks? I was in my element arranging this around my warm, earthy-toned bathroom - and that was before I'd even tried any of the products. But I can safely say, I was hooked after just the first use. My favourite product from the range has to be the Serum Body Wash, as not only is it super gentle and hydrating on the skin, but it's probably the product that most shows off the addictively warm and earthy woods fragrance that makes you feel like you're in an expensive hotel. And the sharp, clean scent carries over to the other bodycare products too, with an indulgent but lightweight butter that soaks in well, leaving skin feeling soft and refreshed - I loved it to help cool down a bit after a slightly too hot bath. The luxury oil is thick and rich but absorbs well, and I love how clean the deodorant is, soaking into skin well without marking clothes. An impressive collection that I won't be giving up any time soon."
