December 2025 beauty launches: a curated collection of six new releases
December 2025 brings a range of new beauty launches, from shimmering glosses and luxurious hand creams to innovative skincare and fragrances from Bottega Veneta. Here’s a look at the latest releases—you might just find a new favourite.
Lancôme Juicy Tubes
Lancôme revives its iconic Juicy Tubes with seven shades that blend nostalgia and modern charm. The line-up includes glitter-kissed #4 Miracle, cotton-candy pink #5 Marshmallow Electro, shimmering wine #7 Magic Spell, playful #8 Tickled Pink, dreamy periwinkle #20 Lavender Latte—created for brand ambassador Olivia Rodrigo’s birthday—gold-swirled #16 Almond Drip, and creamy #19 Cocoa Macchiato. Each gloss delivers signature shine with a contemporary finish.
Bottega Veneta Mezzanotte
Bottega Veneta’s new fragrance line, Mezzanotte, builds on the house’s inaugural collection with three perfumes defined by deep, enveloping scents and precious wood notes. Presented in the brand’s signature glass bottles with coloured wooden caps and Black Marquina marble bases, the collection includes Hinoki, a tranquil blend of fir balsam, sacred hinoki wood, and patchouli; Goodmorning Midnight, a luminous mix of Thai oud, rose, and wild strawberry; and Almost Dawn, a warm, optimistic fusion of chestnut, truffle, and vanilla.
Strip’s Brighdration
Strip’s latest treatment, Brighdration, is a facial for the underarms, designed to even skin tone, enhance radiance, and deeply hydrate. Using Thermal-Cryo technology, it stimulates microcirculation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and boosts absorption. The ritual begins with a papaya enzyme exfoliation, followed by the infusion of two premium formulas: the Brightening Solution Profile (cooled to minus five degrees Celsius to calm and even tone) and Rejuvenating Peptide Solution Profile (warmed to 30 degrees Celsius to refine texture and restore firmness). Advanced electroporation and iontophoresis ensure lasting results for smoother, brighter underarms.
Sisleÿum for Men
Tailored to men’s unique skin physiology, the new Sisleÿum for Men collection offers a comprehensive regimen that cleanses, revitalises, and strengthens the skin against daily stressors. At its core is Phyt’active of Kinkeliba, Sisley’s first proprietary botanical innovation, which harnesses the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the West African plant to reinforce the skin’s defences and restore balance. Each formula—Purifying Cleansing Gel, Revitalising Toning Lotion, and Anti-Ageing Comfort and Mattifying Gel-Creams—delivers targeted efficacy with refined textures and a sensorial finish.
Celine Hand Cream
Celine expands its Bath & Body line with a new hand cream available in four beloved fragrances: Parade, Reptile, La Peau Nue, and Cologne Céleste. Packaged in a 30ml aluminium tube, it absorbs quickly to leave hands soft and nourished without residue. Formulated with 95 per cent natural-origin ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and vegetable glycerin, it provides deep hydration and a subtle scent that enhances one’s personal fragrance. The faceted cap, sleek white box, and the optional Triomphe tube squeezer elevate everyday care into a luxurious ritual.
La Prairie Pure Gold Revitalising Essence
Joining La Prairie’s Pure Gold Collection is the Pure Gold Revitalising Essence. This pioneering innovation restores vitality by counteracting the visible effects of hormonal changes: dryness, density loss, dullness, and uneven tone. Powered by the brand’s Advanced Pure Gold Diffusion System, this essence fortifies the skin barrier, supports collagen renewal, and restores comfort and resilience.
