What will define beauty in 2025? This week, we’re sharing some brands that have us excited for the year ahead - from a UK celeb makeup-artist backed range that’s lazy/busy approved, to hotly anticipated celeb launches from Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton, and all the highlights from French beauty’s big skincare renaissance. 

Plus, in partnership with Neal’s Yard Remedies, stay tuned for an exclusive interview with Anabel Kindersley, the woman who’s bringing an iconic British apothecary line already adored by Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker – and all of Japan – to North American shores.

You’ll also learn about:

• Celebrity crush. Paris Hilton’s masterstroke in re-entering the cosmetics space with 11:11, and the update on Pamela Anderson’s slow beauty investment, Sonsie Skin
• The luxury skincare line that piqued our attention with the founder’s pedigree in the esthetics world (but would you pay $82 for a powder cleanser?!)
• The sculptural French hairbrush company that’s giving trad fave Mason Pearson a run for its money
• *Sponsored segment –  Neal’s Yard Remedies co-owner Anabel Kindersley shares the benefits of bees for our skin – and the planet. Plus, what happens when small-batch beauty meets high-tech and everything to know about the best-selling Wild Rose Beauty Balm (a new fave for Carlene!)
