2024 Tested Beauty & Skincare I'm keeping in 2025

Happy 2025, everyone! New year, new skin, right? Check it out the new selection of skin care and beauty products I have tested last year: from easy go-to moisturizers to famous luxurious solutions. I must tell you, my skincare routine is becoming more and more complete each year since I've started to test and review some of the best products the market has to offer. I’m grateful for the opportunity and my skin is looking healthier and younger. 

Also feature on this list, vegan and cruelty-free new lipstick from Madame Gabriela and two amazing products from the recently launched brand by one of my favorite Capricorn girls in the world (which makes it even more interesting and appealing to me): COSMOSS by British supermodel Kate Moss. Have you heard about it before? I just visit Liberty London where we can shop the entire collection and shared on IG here for you.

Read and let me know in the comments which product you’ve tested and loved so much in 2024 that you’ll be bringing to your 2025 skincare routine.

2025 is looking pretty already :)

COSMOSS Golden Nectar 

A pro-collagen multi-beneficial enriched facial oil that can also be used for body and hair. It promotes natural collagen production, rejuvenates the cells, and defends against free radicals, unveiling a visibly plumped and soothed complexion. 

This powerful golden oil is formulated with Rosemary Extract to hydrate and calm the skin, Chia Seed to improve and repair skin barrier and antioxidants like Like Vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil and Blackberry Seed that can slow the skin's aging process.

Suitable for all skin types. I use it before sleep, at least 3 times a week (or more when I'm stressed out, because the scent of it is really relaxing), massaging my face with a Gua Sha stone. 

COSMOSS Sacred Mist Eau de Parfum

Inspired by Kate and her garden and designed in collaboration with noted homeopath and alchemist Victoria Young. This holistic aura mist uplifts the mood, balancing and inducing a sense of inner calm.

The Base Notes are the most intense, longest lasting layer of the COSMOSS Sacred Mist. Built on Oak Moss for protection and Tonka Bean for good wishes, the rich earthy spice of Cedarwood completes the tenacious and powerful Inner Soul of the scent.

You can use it as either a personal fragrance or an atmosphere spray - I must confess I'm doing both, I like to spray it in my bed too before sleep. Definitely one of the best fragrances I've ever tried, you know I love a woody perfume, right?

Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm

Prada's lip balm features a breakthrough lip-optimizing formula. Infused with bifidus extract and jojoba oil, it smooths, moisturizes and strengthens the lip barrier, offering long-lasting lip comfort. Its optimal glide allows mirror-less, on-the-go application.

It supports the lip barrier and offers up to 24 hours of lip comfort. Available in five shades, I'm using the Shade U001 Astral Pink: a breakthrough lip-blushing formula with Micro-Blushing Technology that adapts to the lips' pH, delivering a unique rosy glow finish. 

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream

Finally got the chance to try Shiseido's best-selling anti-aging eye cream: a powerful cream formulated with peptides and squalane that smooths the appearance of fine lines and reduce six types of eye area concerns, including crow's feet, lid creases, puffiness and stress wrinkles between the brows.

In my case, I saw the under eye areas get brighter after a few weeks applying every night before bed. 
 

Madame Gabriela Tulum At 6PM

An exclusive shade for Free People by Madame Gabriela: this lipstick features an antioxidant-rich blend of UMV 15+ manuka honey, vitamin E, avocado oil, and lavender. As the other lipsticks from the collection, it nourishes and hydrates lips for a luxurious satin finish, inspired by the timeless elegance of major cities around the world. 

Tulum At 6PM is a soft petal pink shade with cool undertones, inspired by the delicate beauty of Tulum’s sunsets. Cruelty-free, gluten-free, talc-free, & organic

KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Skin Barrier Repair Balm

The invisible Barrier Balm with Squalane is specifically formulated to help deeply hydrate the skin and treat dry skin patches. Rich in barrier strengthening ingredients like Squalane and Ceramides, the skin hydration stick works to instantly hydrate the skin and strengthen skin barrier, while providing all-day moisturizing support at home and on-the-go hydration.

Blends seamlessly under and over makeup and its safe for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, & excema prone skin. I love the stick size because I can carry everywhere - including in my travel necessaire to London.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover

Clinique's iconic makeup remover in a silky balm formula that gently dissolves the makeup (including tenacious waterproof eye makeup), SPF, and conditions lashes. It unclogs pores and deeply cleanses skin of impurities removing dirt and debris —without stripping skin.

It transforms from a solid balm into a silky oil upon application and I love how it leaves my skin clean, soft, and healthy-looking while maintaining a natural moisture balance.



Friendly reminder: every skin is different so the products you use depends on your own needs and concerns. You can always ask your dermatologist when in doubt!

Love,
